Stop blaming circumstances for your failures. A client blamed his bank for a bounced insurance payment, but the real problem was his own money management. Without taking full responsibility, you stay stuck.
something wrong with me. Stop blaming other people. I had a client come in the other day, and she walked in the office, she bounced her insurance premium, and she said, "That damn bank, they closed my account. They screwed me." I said, "Yeah, the office manager woke up one day and said, 'Let me see whose account I could screw up.'" Right? You had no freaking money in the bank. It's your fault. It's not the bank's fault. Right? If they didn't listen, it's your fault, right? We got to start taking— we got to start taking responsibility for our actions, right? If we don't take responsibility for our actions, you know what's going to happen, right? We're going to keep blaming others and we're never going to get at what we want, right? Guys, all we did was keep trying, and when it didn't work, we tried again, and when it didn't work, we tried again, and when it didn't work I ask Shelley what I should do. Right? And she always has the answers. Right?
