Personal Responsibility, Personal Success

Posted by Dave Lorenzo - Business Coach

Tech consultant Lena L. West, featured in the August issue of Entrepreneur, says, “I’m a huge believer in personal responsibility. I believe whatever situation you find yourself in—positive or challenging—you have, in some way, contributed to being there.” I couldn’t agree more.

The success of superachievers is often written off as “good luck” or “being in the right place at the right time”, and misfortunes are explained by “bad luck” or “bad timing”. Sure, we all have our ups and downs. But just as a solid company’s stock price gradually increases over time (and vice versa), so does a solid individual demonstrate a pattern of overall improvement.

Take responsibility for your actions and accomplishments and you liberate and give yourself free reign to run wild with success. Own up to the fact that you are in charge of your destiny and realize that no one can stand in your way. Give yourself the power to shape your life.
