2. How Do You Manage Yourself
Better?
Set up a personal code,
a set of rules that you’re
willing to write down on
paper and share with
other significant people
in your life – people to
whom you are
accountable and have
call you out on breaches
of that code.
3. The rules can be very
simple. Many them you
might already have, but
just don’t take seriously
enough sometimes.
4. One could be,
“Celebrate all wins.”
Another, “Keep
statistics on my
performance.” Or
maybe, “Never abandon
yourself, or friends,
when in need.”
5. Next, stick to these
rules, whatever they
are. You have to be
willing to call yourself
out on it when you
break a rule – like a
referee in a game, a
foul is a foul.
6. Also, we all have
blind spots we miss
intentionally or
unintentionally.
7. You need to have
others call you out
on it if you’re really
going to be
accountable.
8. Finally, have the
willingness to admit to
your mistakes. This is
about taking
responsibility for your
actions, good and bad.
9. Be ready to admit to
your mistakes and
commit to making it
right.
10. Being accountable won’t
be easy, but it’s a
necessary step to raising
the standards on yourself
and achieving the
success you desire.
