Responsibility and Blame: When Things Don’t Go as Planned
When you are an entrepreneur, things are changing constantly
//
For myself, even just looking at the past year, I can see how my direction has shifted, plans have changed, and launches have flopped
//
There is an endless list of ways that things could NOT go as planned
//
When that happens, what will keep you moving forward towards your intended future?
//
Let’s talk a little bit about responsibility and blame
//
As an example, let’s use something that’s happened to me - a “failed” launch to your email list
//
Maybe you didn’t hit your revenue target, it didn’t convert like you thought it would, something along those lines
//
What would blaming look like in this case?
//
“Wow, these people really don’t know what they’re missing out on”
//
“Email really just isn’t what it used to be, people just swipe and delete now”
//
“I’m terrible at copywriting, I should just give up”
//
These are all examples of blame
//
I’m not saying they’re not true statements, they very well might be LOL
//
But when it comes to moving forward, reaching your goals, achieving your desired outcome, blame does no one any good
//
Responsibility, on the other hand, propels you forward
//
It moves you toward finding a solution, toward improving whatever went wrong, toward a better outcome on the next go around
//
Here’s what it looks like
//
“How can I better convey the value of this product the next time I launch to my list?”
//
“How can I improve my email subject lines so my emails get opened more often?”
//
“What can I do between now and my next launch to level up my copywriting game?”
//
You shift your focus from who is at fault to how you can get where you want to go
//
Do you see the difference?
//
It’s not about ignoring the bad, but how you can learn from it going forward
//
It’s not about finding out who or what’s at fault, it’s about what we can do to change it going forward
//
So now I want to hear from you
//
While you were reading this, what situation in your life came to mind and how does this apply?
//
