Summary

In this episode of Walk Through Open Doors, we talk about the transformative power of ownership in our lives with an emphasis on the importance of taking responsibility for our choices and actions, and how this mindset can lead to radical change. 

I spent a lot of my life living without any sense of ownership or accountability, so I am able to talk about all of this from the inside.  I learned about the importance of taking ownership the hard way, and I’m here to help you avoid that. 

I created a bonus post for this episode called 5 Ways to Start Taking Ownership Today. You can find it here.
