ITTI. What does that mean? I Take The Initiative.

All business owners might think about having this stamped on their computer, phone, or calendar. What does it mean?

Just that; as a business owner you take the initiative. You take the first move, you start the conversation, you ask the important or difficult questions, you do the research.

The greatest stumbling block to achieving anything of importance in your life is circumstances. We let circumstances get us off the hook when we should be giving it everything we’ve got. More dreams are shattered and goals lost because of circumstances than any other single factor.

How often have you caught yourself saying, "I would like to do or have this but I can’t because…?" Whatever follows "because" is the circumstance.

Successful people use circumstances to catapult them on toward their goal, while the underachiever uses them as road blocks. A circumstance may cause a detour in your life but you should never permit it to stop you.

George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying, "People are always blaming circumstance for what they are. I do not believe in circumstance. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstance they want and if they can’t find them they make them."

So, give I.T.T.I: I Take The Initiative a shot.
