Episode Summary

It’s your fault. And that’s a good thing. In this episode, I talk about the 7 things you need to do to take responsibility for your own situation and catalyze change in your life… right now.

Failure is scary, and that’s why it’s hard to admit when you make mistakes. And because of that fear, you either find something or someone else to blame— or you don’t forgive yourself at all.

But here’s the thing: it’s your fault. And that’s okay. After all, if it’s not your fault, do you really have power and control to change your own situation?

No one else is coming to save you. No one is coming to set goals for you. Or script out the vision you have for your life.

Once that hard truth sinks in, stand in front of a mirror, take a look at yourself, and ask: “What can I do to start this change?”

This episode is part one of a two-parter on how to take responsibility for your own situation. Here, I’m going to tell you 7 things you need to do to catalyze change in your life… right now. Stay tuned!
