DESCRIPTION

,One needs to change the way you approach life and work. Take control of the things around you- and the activities you control. Become the owrner instead of just being an employee (in attitude). You will never go wrong. A great book that I recommend you buy and read.

THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE IS THE ONE IN WHICH YOU DECIDE YOUR LIFE IS YOUR OWN. NO APOLOGIES OR EXCUSES. NO ONE TO LEAN ON, RELY ON, OR BLAME. THE GIFT OF LIFE IS YOURS; IT IS AN AMAZING JOURNEY, AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY OF IT.

CHOICE!

• The difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people is CHOICE.

• The freedom to choose may be the most power attribute and precious resource you have in your life.

• The Freedom to choose is yours alone to leverage or not. No one can grant it to you, and no one can take it away from you.

CHOOSE TO BE A PLAYER- NOT A BYSTANDER

PLAYERS CHOSE TO FOCUS ON WHAT THEY CAN CONTROL

• You can control your attitude towards your boss and senior leaders & the business.

• You can control your ability to perform, to become a guru, a thought-leader, a go-to-person who is seen as adding value.

• You can control your approach when interacting with your boss and other leaders.

BEHAVE LIKE A OWNER!• Owners step out from behind titles and job descriptions to act on behalf of

the customer , partners and the company.

• They never say "This is not my job" or "this is too big for me".

• Owners cater to the organization mission, vision and values. Non-owners cater to bosses.

• Owners focus on the business results of their actions

• Owners have the guts to ask the tough questions. They understand the consequences of complacency- and they aren't afraid to challenge the status quo with the mantra "How can we make it better"

• Owners disregard functional boundaries to consider what's goodf or the company as a whole.

• Owners pay attention to detail

Your Attitude & motivation in the present are shaped by your view of
