Ya see, when we own something, we take accountability for it. We commit to improvement. When we own it, we do our best to make sure it doesn’t happen again. When we own it, we learn from our mistakes. When we own it, we embrace it as a challenge, not a problem. When we own it, we’re open to coaching, criticism and feedback. When we don’t own it, we’re not open to anything!.

When we don’t own it, we’re not growing and when were not growing we’re going no where — in a hurry!

Own it!
