As many Ninjas get ready to dive into their business planning for 2022, now is a great time to look at self-responsibility. On today’s episode, Matt and Garrett share their thoughts on taking full accountability for the results around you as you review what worked from last year and what didn’t. They talk about learning from failures, reframing them as “education moments,” being kind to yourself, and identifying limiting beliefs so that you can build an objective plan for success moving forward.    Our hosts explain how the Ninja Nine Systems can help you accomplish your goals and stay consistent with productive habits, as well as the importance of focusing on business activities that are in your control (it’s a lot more than you think!), and how taking responsibility can serve you well in other areas of your life. Ultimately, you are the only one who can take action to get the results you want. Today’s conversation will help you determine whether you’re truly embracing self-responsibility in your business, and why taking this important step is so crucial to your success.   Submit your questions for an upcoming Q&A episode by joining the Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook, where you can also share ideas and connect with other Ninjas.

You're the only one that can take that forward step that then produces the results that you want.”   “Failure is just - look at it as a synonym for learning. It's an opportunity to learn from what happened. And when you take a higher level of self-responsibility, it allows you to actually put together a plan that can work for you.”   “If you beat yourself up, you're not going to learn.”   “Be self-responsible for what got you these results that you have sitting in front of you right now.”   “When you take full responsibility, it opens up the opportunity to be objective and understand so that you can build in consistency...with good habits.”   “Take responsibility. It's going to serve you so well. Even in areas outside the business...it's just a good life practice.”   Links:   www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com   Email us at    TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com   Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events    Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group
