In this episode we talk about taking extreme ownership over all aspects of your life. It's a quick one and we discuss:
- The attitudes people take towards the realities of life. I illustrate the 2 main ways people usually approach this.
- Where those attitudes ultimately take us.
- I introduce the book Extreme Ownership, by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, 2 retired Navy SEALs that talk about how the SEALs train to WIN.
- I talk about the 2 primary conclusions this book arrived at, which are: there are no bad teams, only bad leaders, and good leaders are people that take 100% ownership over everything in their lives.
- And I talk about how we can integrate that concept into our own lives to become habitual winners.
- I talk about the part of this we all struggle with the most, which is that there are many things that happen that truly aren't our faults. But that doesn't matter. Extreme ownership is a mindset and one that breeds success.
- I then take a quick detour and talk about blaming and victim mentality and why they will never ever get you anywhere in life.
- And in this week's Call-to-Action I want you think about how you react to the things that happen to you. Do you blame and complain and make excuses? Or do you own it 100%, learn from your mistakes, and constantly get better? Because one way will keep you winning throughout your whole life and the other will get you absolutely nowhere.
