#2 Implement an Accountability System – We have to accept the fact that we are responsible for our own economy. Yeah, yeah – nobody wants to be held accountable – whether it is in Business or Life. Our natural tendency is to look to the government, our “boss,” the consumer, our spouse or even “the devil” for someone to be responsible. We can’t control the market, the government, the consumers or even the “devil.” We can; however, control our action, behavior, and attitude.
• Accountability is the road to Higher Achievement
• Higher achievement produces Higher Results
• Higher results give you greater Success!

It is That Simple

• Positive expectancy creates Resolve.
• Resolve overcomes daily obstacles and roadblocks.
• Overcoming “noise” delivers results.
