Do you know people who always seem to have problems that are other people’s fault? These people are “below the line”. The glass is always half full and it is always someone else who is doing something wrong. These people are victims. They are not taking control of their own destiny. The best way to get positive results is to stay “above the line”. That way, you are assuming responsibility for your actions and results. You can set goals and take responsibility for all that happens to you. You are controlling your own destiny. As a business owner, it is especially important to stay above the line. That way, you are accepting responsibility for the business, employees and customers. You can hold other members of your team accountable and ensure the overall success of the organization!
