Simply Self-Responsibility
“The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is the source from which self-respect springs.” Joan Didion
In Carl Casanova’s book, What every Successful Person Knows!, he notes that if you plan on being a success in business or life, consider self-responsibilty first. Each person is the source of her or his success. At Sydney Andrews, taking responsibility means you are fully accountable for everything you are, everything you have and everything you achieve. Your dreams, your home-based business, your education, your relationships, aspirations, goals and endeavors belong to you and you only.
Self-responsibility is a critical part in creating the outcomes of our lives. It is also vital to the health of your home-party business. The wellspring of success sprouts forth when the one in pursuit of success takes on, and is accountable for, the great and not-so-great of what happens. There are no greater spoken words than “It’s about me, I own it, and I am responsible. I will do whatever it takes to make it right because it is my responsibility.” Having your own business means showing up during your appointed office hours, spending dedicated time calling your hostesses and customers, booking parties and adding names to your prospect list each day.
What areas of your life and direct selling business have blossomed once you took responsibility for the outcome? When were the results of your efforts at a party, on a prospecting call, or in your family life enhanced the minute you accepted that if it is meant to be, it’s up to me?
