Success Is in Your Own Hands

It is not somebody else’s responsibility to make you successful - it is our own responsibility.

The definition of “success” is different for each of us, depending on our personal and professional goals and aspirations. What is universal about success, however, is that it is our own responsibility. Too often people blame their lack of success on external factors:

“My company didn’t give me enough training.”
“My lead list is really weak.”
“My prospects just aren’t buying.”

Remember, it is not somebody else’s responsibility to make you successful, and it is nobody else’s fault if you fail. Come to terms with these facts and you’ll be well on your way to achieving the success you desire. Write down your goals (both immediate and long-term), create a list of action items that will help you reach these goals, and keep yourself in check.
