Complimentary Post by Socialvibes / Medium 

Nothing you want will just fall into your lap. When you want something in life, you take action. 

Extreme Ownership

Every successful person understands that concept. But there’s another concept that can help you get what you want out of life.

It’s what some might refer to as a rather hard truth. And that is that you must take ownership for what happens in your life, including in your business. By taking ownership, you can achieve the dreams that you desire.

In the book, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win, the two authors are former U.S. Navy SEALS who understand what it means to keep going when others quit.

The book is clear about one thing and that’s the fact that you are responsible for your life. Whatever happens or doesn’t happen is no one else’s responsibility or fault if something doesn’t work out the way that you wish it had.

If you’re someone who wants to be a success or you want to run a successful business, you can use the guidelines in this book to set that journey in motion. The book will show you how you can develop the character it takes to lead a business.

It also teaches you what it means to be a leader and what your obligations will be. The chapters in the book are divided by three main parts. The first part deals with the hard truth about leadership that can be difficult to face — such as accepting responsibility when something goes wrong.

Regardless of what happened, the book teaches that leaders step up and shoulder the responsibility for the action and make it right. It also covers not placing blame at the feet of those who work for you or at the feet of those you lead.

In the book, you’ll discover how the art of communication can effectively help a business succeed and steer you away from mistakes. When there’s praise to be had, the book teaches that the ones you lead should share in the end result rather than you taking all the credit.

You’ll also learn how you can boost your team performance. By following the principles taught in the book, you’ll learn how to differentiate between tasks that need to be done immediately and those that can go lower on the list.

You’ll learn about making decisions and turning those decisions into action steps so that you’re not engulfed by your to-do list. You’ll discover how to strategize and how that can help your business — but you’ll also learn the art of being accepting to change when necessary.

Some of the top points of the book include learning how to remain dedicated to the outcome of your goals until you achieve success as well as how to stay strong when others don’t believe you can do it.
