Taking Responsibility For Your Success

I agree. However, not everyone is equiped to be a leader, at this present time. It doesn't mean they can't be, as we can do anything we decide to do. It just means there has to be certain changes before we can reach leader status. 

one of the things I have learned is that whether we acknowledge it or not--we are all responsible for our own lives, our successes, and our failures. Once we realize this truth, we can stop playing the blame game and take control of our life. 

It really is quite simple, but not always easy. I do know that this is my life and I have the right, as we all do, to choose what I desire to accomplish. All we have to do is accept full responsibility for our own choices and actions. If we accepted responsiblity for our not succeeding, instead of blaming someone or something else, that gives us tremendous power. All we have to do is make whatever changes necessary to become a winner. As long as we are blaming someone or something else, we are victims. As victims, we are stuck not being able to change anything. 

However, once we accept full responsibility, the power is in our hands to make whatever changes are necessary to achieve our desires. Whenever there is a problem, there is always an answer. There really is no such thing as failure. For everything we try that doesn't work, we are brought that much closer to something that will. Do you know how many times Thomas Edison found ways that didn't work before he found the way that did? Leaders don't quit--they find solutions. Does this make sense?

Maybe an example will help. Let's say I purchased Magnetic Sponsoring and I am not getting the results I am expecting. So if I blame the system for my failure, I have become a victim. Oh, poor me. I have spent money on something that is not working and I am upset. This is your typical victim attitude. I have spent my money and I expect everything to work for me and if it doesn't, I have been ripped off. 

On the other hand, if I accept and recognize my own power,I know the responsibility to get results falls in my hands. I recognize that I have gotten tremendous value for my money and I will do whatever it takes to learn how to promote this system. I have purchased a system that works, so if I don't have the knowledge it takes to make it work for me, I will find a way to get that knowledge. Whatever it takes. That is the difference between someone who is a victim and someone who takes full responsibility for themselves.

I are discussing business here, but this applies to every area of our lives. If we are having problems in a relationship, we need to look at ourselves not our partner. If we are having problems with a neighbor, we need to look at our part in the problem. The great news is, when we come from this space, we have the power to change whatever we want. The ball is in our court. Simple, but not always easy. (Unless you have had a lot of practice and enjoy learning and growing. ) I personally find it exciting to have new opportunities to learn and grow. Gained knowledge is "potential power". I say potential power, because until we put our knowledge into action nothing is accomplished.

If we are making our problems someone elses fault, we have become a victim and we are doomed to fail. Victims don't win and victims are not leaders. We are so much more powerful then we realize. we can have whatever we want in our lives. So if we want to be a leader, we have to take responsibility for ourselves and be willing to invest in ourselves. The world is like a blank canvas and we can paint anything we want on it. So start creating what it is you desire and have fun doing it. 

Before I became a hair stylist, I had to spend my time, energy and money in educating myself. Our online businesses are no different. I can guarantee you that everyone who is a success today has believed in themselves, taken responsibility for themselves and invested in themselves. If anyone wants to be a leader it is necessary to think and act with persistance, integrity and responsibility. Being the best you can be in any given moment is rewarding and fun. Leaders love challenges and they enjoy life. 

Leadership Coaching and Its Facts

Aside from training, the guts to take up touchy topics, knowledge of skills, and time are also required in effective coaching.

We need to keep our cool when a member of the team falls short. It's normal to encounter conflict when we attempt to coach somebody into working better. Coaching is no small task. But the end are worth the effort if we're determined and rigorous at using coaching strategies.

The Eight Step Coaching Model is actually more than just coaching steps, instead, it's made up of skills that mainly concentrate on behaviors.

Step one, Be Supportive, for example, is primarily about offering recognition and listening. On the other hand, Define the Topic and Needs - step two - concentrates on the supervisor's skill to inquire, provide feedback, and clarify expectations.

The word "step" in the Eight Step Coaching Model should not be misunderstood. It doesn't mean that you need to go through every step every time you coach a representative. "Step" implies a conceptual sequence, a progressive development process as you coach.

Quick coaching is required in some circumstances. In these cases, you can focus on the topic and plan. Yet other circumstances will need you to spend time to discuss more steps and concentrate on more skills.

If you wish to speak with an employee on a wider topic, like teamwork, goal attainment, or involvement in meetings, you'll definitely have to spend more time and cover more skills or steps. The secret is to be flexible. You must know the steps or strategies thoroughly and then take from the steps what are appropriate for every event. You become at ease in time by using the Eight Step Coaching Model constantly. The more you experience the model, you barely realize that you're even following a process. 

Do not be misled by the terms. Think of it as a process that has specific factors or skills and don�t look at coaching as a strict, formal process. In one study, we found that supervisors were thrice as likely to use the Eight Step Coaching Model in spontaneous and informal applications than in stiff, rigid, lengthier discussions.

A formal coaching allows you time to plan in advance, so you can review the model and pick which steps you could apply for the situation. During unexpected coaching, though, you can just select the steps that's right for the moment and improvise as you progress.

Research shows that a lot of representatives leave companies because of rifts with their supervisors. Effective leadership coaching allows you to foster an excellent working relationship with your employees. Not coaching is the worst thing that a supervisor can do.

Life is About Choices and the Decisions We Make

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take? What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way? Would you take any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad?

There are no guarantees.

You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life. Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad, especially if you are highly qualified and competent. There are too many possible outcomes, which your really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you would act and react to different situations.

Wrong decisions are always at hindsight.

Had you known that you were making a wrong decision, would you have gone along with it? Perhaps not, why would you choose a certain path when you know it would get you lost? Why make a certain decision if you knew from the very beginning that it is not the right one. It is only after you have made a decision and reflected on it that you realize its soundness. If the consequences or outcomes are good for you, then you have decided correctly. Otherwise, your decision was wrong.

Take the risk: Decide.

Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it, then you might as well take the risk and decide. It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo. Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure, moreover open more roads. It is all a matter of perspective. You have the choice between being a lost traveller or an accidental tourist of life. But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly. Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid. Here are some pointers that could help you choose the best option in the face of life's crossroads:

Get as many information as you can about your situation.

You cannot find the confidence to decide when you know so little about what you are faced with. Just like any news reporter, ask the 5 W's: what, who, when, where, and why. What is the situation? Who are the people involved? When did this happen? Where is this leading? Why are you in this situation? These are just some of the possible questions to ask to know more about your situation. This is important. Oftentimes, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation.

Identify and create options.

What options do the situation give you? Sometimes the options are few, but sometimes they are numerous. But what do you do when you think that the situation offers no options? This is the time that you create your own. Make your creative mind work. From the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas. Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to your head. Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end. You can ask a friend to help you identify options and even make more options if you encounter some difficulty, but make sure that you make the decision yourself in the end.

Weigh the pros and cons of every option.

Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option.

Trust yourself and make that decision.

Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself. Remember that there are no guarantees and wrong decisions are always at hindsight. So choose... decide... believe that you are choosing the best option at this point in time.

Now that you have made a decision, be ready to face its consequences: good and bad. It may take you to a place of promise or to a land of problems. But the important thing is that you have chosen to live your life instead of remaining a bystander or a passive audience to your own life. Whether it is the right decision or not, only time can tell. But do not regret it whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from it and remember that you always have the chance to make better decisions in the future.
