All successful people share the habit of ownership. This means they take responsibility for the results they get in life and business.

"You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of."  --Jim Rohn

Successful people take responsibility for the results they have, and the results they desire. They never sit back and wait for someone else to show up and do it on their behalf.

Successful people never make excuses or blame others for not having the results they desire.

Being successful in life and business requires taking responsibility for what you have and what you want to have -- this is what the habit of ownership is all about. Unless or until you adopt this mindset and habit, successful will elude you.
