Your behavior sets the standard. 3. Communicate Openly and Honestly: Be willing to have tough conversations, and don't hesitate to discuss your fears and struggles.

There is one thing that those with a failure mindset have in common. Excuses are the common denominator of those who embrace a failure mindset. When you focus on BLAME (Being Lazy And Making Excuses), you remain stuck in a victim mindset. BLAME is a self-destructive cycle where you avoid taking responsibility for your actions and instead find reasons to justify your inaction. Here's the truth—you can step away from victimhood and into victory. It's time to grab your OAR: Ownership, Accountability, and Responsibility, and steer your life in the direction you deserve. Here are four action steps you can take today to stop being a victim and start becoming a victor: 1. Own your situation – No matter what has happened in the past, take responsibility for where you are now and decide to change your trajectory. It's easy to blame others or circumstances, but you regain control when you accept full ownership of your life. Owning your situation is the first step to reclaiming your power and charting a new course. 2. Stop making excuses – Identify your excuses and challenge them. Excuses are self-imposed barriers that keep you stuck. You can eliminate them and focus on solutions by recognizing them for what they are. Remember, each time you make an excuse, you're allowing fear or laziness to win. Replace those excuses with reasons to take action. This liberation from excuses frees you to focus on your goals and take meaningful steps toward victory. 3. Shift your mindset – Reframe challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles holding you back. Every setback is a setup for a comeback. When you see difficulties as a chance to learn and improve, you step out of the victim mindset and into a growth-oriented perspective. Your attitude determines your outcomes—choose one that aligns with victory. This growth-oriented perspective fills you with optimism and hope for a successful future. 4. Surround yourself with victors – Who you spend time with impacts your success. You'll stay stuck in that mentality if you surround yourself with negative, excuse-making individuals. But if you spend time with people who push you, challenge you, and encourage growth, you'll be inspired to rise above excuses and embrace responsibility. Seek out a community of victors who model the mindset and behaviors you want to adopt. Ready to make the shift? Schedule your complimentary discovery call today, a one-on-one session where we'll discuss your current situation, your goals, and how you can embrace victory by building talk about action and accountability into your life. The choice is yours—victim or victor. Which will you choose? All your choices have consequences, so choose wisely.

October 12, 1991 I took a massive step into the brotherhood of manhood. On this day, my wife and I exchanged vows and united as man and woman in matrimony. Thirty-two years go by fast.  We have done quite a bit together. We raised two children in a home we built and laughed and cried together. People have entered and left our lives. Today is our day to celebrate our 33rd year of marriage. Part of being a man is understanding that true strength lies in unity. A united marriage empowers both partners, fostering a relationship built on trust and mutual respect. A perfect marriage does not exist. Acceptance recognizes strengths and weaknesses. You rely on your partners' strengths and support them in their imperfections. As a man, one of the things that empowered me to become a better husband to my wife were those men I allowed to speak into my life. They mentored me along the way and celebrated as our family grew. After 33 years of marriage, there are still bumps in the road. These 'bumps' are the challenges we face, our disagreements, and when we feel distant. But since life is fluid, I must remember that our relationship goes through seasons like life. As I have grown through life, I, too, have grown in my understanding of what it means to be a man. Empowered wives better serve manhood. She knows what her spouse needs to thrive and provides encouragement and discernment. A man listens to his wife. As I enter into this next phase of life, I want to empower young men to become better husbands to their wives and more impactful fathers to their children. I am launching a new Cohort for men to do just that. If you want to learn more about the Cohort, "Beyond the Provider: Redefining Manhood," grab some time on my calendar to talk. We invite all of you to join us in celebrating this milestone, a testament to the power of love and commitment. Be Extraordinarily Bold! #strategy #creativitiy #innovation #business #kingdombuilder
