About this episode
The world we live in is one giant blame game as people try to find external answers for everything that’s happening around them. But all of life’s answers come from within as you are both your only problem and your only solution – this is taking extreme ownership over your life; this is personal responsibility. Welcome to the Seven Figure Standard as today, we give you our definition of personal responsibility and explain why this philosophy is vital for achieving greatness in life. We explore the value of having and overcoming obstacles, what it takes to live in extreme ownership, how it all starts with changing our attitude and how we respond to things, and some real-world examples of the power of practicing extreme ownership. As you begin to transform your life toward one of personal responsibility, we encourage you to be proactive this week and journal all the moments when you did not take responsibility for a situation, and we’d love to hear your personal results from this experiment! Thank you for taking this journey with us.
