December 13: Jessica Olmon discusses taking 100% responsibility

by | Dec 8, 2016 | Coaching Advice, Coffee Break

 

To be successful you must first be willing to take 100% responsibility for everything, both good and bad, in your life. When we take full responsibility, we regain control of our lives and stop seeing our circumstances from the perspective of a victim: someone who believes they have no control over the situations that happen to them. As soon as I committed to taking 100% responsibility for everything in my life I was able to see that I had the power to control my circumstances and began building my version of an ideal life. I’ll be discussing not only the why behind this concept but also how to make it happen in your life as well.
