Decide Your Legacy

When I get a coach for anything, I pay for everything up front.  I do this so that I force a level of commitment that allows me to take responsibility with my life.  That responsibility is power and today we’re going to define several actions you can take right now to grab responsibility by the horns.  On this episode we discuss:

• What is the big challenge you struggle to take responsibility for
• The cost of giving your power away
• Focusing more on the solutions
• The freedom that comes from taking responsibility
• You can own your thoughts and perspective
• How addiction is driven first by habit of thought
• Owning the emotions that you experience
• Model to yourself how you feel
• Power to own the actions you take
