Unless you accept full responsibility for your current conditions you'll use excuses, blame others, and complain about your lack of success. These habits and behaviors move you away from success. And they take you away from success rapidly. You only have yourself to thank for your current current situation whether you like it or hate it. As you begin to realize that you created whatever your experiencing take responsibility for changing it. The future success you want can only happen through your plans and actions. In every situation there is something good and something that could be better. Most people never take the time to examine their role and responsibility in what they're getting. It's a whole lot easier to blame someone else or make excuses for your own poor performance than to step up and admit that you made this mess and you have to fix it. But rather than accepting taking responsibility now when customers don't buy you blame them saying they don't see the value you offer even though you've made it as plain as day, or that they're just bargain hunters, or that the competition isn't playing fair. But when customers don't buy it's your fault because: you don't know how to market your solution, you haven't created more value than the money you're asking for, and you don't stand out as the clear choice or even a good second choice. The same is true if you're an employee who didn't get the raise, promotion, or job offer you wanted. You didn't get it because: you didn't know how to position yourself as being more valuable than your current salary or the other candidates, you didn't demonstrate how you create value not only in what you do but in how you help others to do their job better, and you didn't stand out as clearly worthy of the raise or promotion or job. Ask yourself what's right with the current situation? No matter how bad things look to you now there is always something good about a current situation that you can make better. Build on your strengths and use them to take you where you want to be. What result don't you like and how can you adapt to get the result you want? In most cases you don't need to scrap everything, but you do need to change some things about the way you're behaving and the actions you're taking now. And speaking of actions It's a big waste of your time and energy to bother yourself about what anyone else is or isn't doing. Face it, you can't control the actions or inactions of others so stop trying to. Realized that your success hinges on the actions you, and only you do or don't take. You control your results so you have to take actions now, and you have to stop letting yourself make excuses. Excuses are self-defeating pity parties. You can expect excuses from children who haven't learned that they're responsible for themselves, but not an adult like you. Stop complaining, stop making excuses, stop blaming anyone or anything else and start taking full responsibility for getting different results. Don't worry about the competition because your only competition is you, time, and resources. Look within yourself for the success you want and develop solid plans and implement those plans through your daily actions.
