Become Fully Accountable for Your Success

Reflecting back upon the topics I’ve written on; whether the subject matter was selling, prospecting, time management, coaching, or leadership, I’ve noticed a common theme. It seemed that all roads led me back to one centralized focal point, which made the difference between a person or a company, being average or good and being truly great. And that central theme always seemed to revolve around personal accountability.

Today, we live in a society whose moral fiber is crumbling from the weight of American Entitlement that has plagued and polluted our thinking around what was once referred to as the American Dream. That is, we’ve collapsed American Entitlement with the American Dream. And during this time of uncertainty and doubt, people are looking for new answers.

This heightened sense of transparency we’re experiencing as a result of our rapidly changing marketplace is waking people up. The most obvious and high profile cases of American Entitlement show up more and more each day as the media reports on another executive choice based in greed, entitlement and self serving agendas. Whether we’re talking about the:

• CEO’s of the Big Three auto companies flying their private jets to Washington to request taxpayer bailout money
• A Nevada judge who got arrested for driving to her courthouse drunk on her way to test a suspect’s Blood Alcohol Content.
• The more than 18 billion dollars worth of bonuses that were paid out to executives on Wall Street last year
• OR The family who’s living way beyond their means, 
• The parent who blames the school system instead of themselves for not more closely monitoring their child, especially when it comes to what they’re doing on the internet

Everyone has a story of a person they’ve encountered who lives with a sense of entitlement. It is this failure to be more accountable around their goals and responsibilities that affects every area of their lives: their career, their health, their families and most important, their children.

 From the board room, the home room, and all the way to the play room, we can all get what we truly want by accepting everything we already have and making the transformation from living a life of entitlement to one of full accountability and acceptance. Even companies looking to reinvent themselves and their culture need to do so from the inside out in order to reshape how we all think, live and work.

Full accountability in every area of our lives will lead directly to greater success, freedom and fulfillment in everything we do. It’s something that we’re all connected to that touches every area of our lives.

 So, what will drive you to live a fully accountable life? There’s only one reason you need. Our children; so that they have something to grab on to in order to live their best life and one of purpose. After all, what more of a reason do we need? So, live passionately; and live responsibly.$
