Consistency in action is an essential component of success.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take massive action over a long period, even when there is no evidence of progress.

The moment you choose to be accountable for all outcomes in your life, you distance yourself from the position of a victim and assume the role of a change agent.

It’s difficult to accept full responsibility and apportion blame at the same time – you have to choose one.

We all have within ourselves the inclination to try to pass the blame to others when things don’t work in our favour. The ultimate challenge comes from suppressing this innate desire and replacing it with accountability and ownership for all things, good or bad.

One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn’t. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.

It’s easy to play the victim card (all of us have done this), but this mindset is one of the greatest obstacles to progress and growth.

Accepting complete responsibility is the unsung character trait of those who find uncommon success, and failure to accept responsibility is a common trait of those who end up with a mediocre life.

Ideas and dreams are only valuable after they have been acted on.

A mediocre idea acted on is of more value than a handful of brilliant ideas that remain in your mind.

To achieve your dreams you must be willing to take consistent and improved action over a defined period.

Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success. When combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.

The willingness to burn your ships, cut off all sources of retreat, and take decisive action is often the only assured path to success.

You may spend much time and energy in preparation that you forget that the most important and essential step is action.

Action is where sacrifice is honoured and where you require persistence and courage to endure all that life throws in your direction.
