You Are Responsible For What

Have you ever had a conversation with a child where you were encouraging them to do something like take out the garbage?

If you have, then you know their initial reaction was, "Huh!" What they are really thinking is, that's not their responsibility. So why do they need to worry about it.

Well, do you ever find yourself in your business saying same exact thing or least making an excuse why you shouldn't do something? I would bet you had, at least one time in your business or professional career. We all do! What it all comes done to is you are responsible for the results, no one else.

=====================================

You Are Responsible For What...

The results! To put this into perspective for you, let's say you're having difficulties generating quality leads for your home business and you find yourself worrying more so than actually taking action by solving the problem. What do you think your results are?

Worry! Stress! That's right.

But is that really helping you move you and your business forward? No. So, rather than having that end result, why not think in turns of results that grow and move your business forward like, purchasing leads, purchasing training material on how to generate leads, etc. Those are the kind of results we want. I call these, Results that Matter.

I recently took a training course on how to be effective. And, what I got the most out of that training course was if you aren't taking action to get you results that matter, whatever else you are doing instead is a Waste of Time.

You see, you are responsible for the outcome and it's directly related to what you are doing. So if you find yourself making excuses of why you shouldn't be purchasing leads, advertising, networking... basically you're saying that's not your responsibility. Well, you're mistaken! You are responsible for your results. After all, it's your business!

So what can you do to get yourself out of this situation...start acting like you're the CEO of your company. Whatever you decide today, either good or bad, you made that decision no one else. Accept the end result and keep, moving, forward.
