Have you ever wondered why some people always are so lucky! Connections and deals fall in their lap. Doors open wide all the time. Do you realize this can be you? You can be the successful one that everything falls into place.
There is a reason that some people are always in the right place at the right time. It is because they “Own It.” To own it you must fully embrace who you are and who you are going to be. Many people are in a transition. Looking for another job, or starting a business and yet they do not own it. You want to become the best sales rep in your company, then own it. Act as if you are already there. Do the things that the best sales reps do, call the type of people they call, and act like the best act. This is typically very positive and optimistic regardless of many times something does not work out.
When you own it, you speak and act in a confident manner. Others see your confidence and it makes them confident that you are the right person for the task. Not cocky, confident. Tiger Woods was ask by a reporter (possibly paraphrasing here), “What do you think about the other players?” Tiger responds in a matter of fact way, “I don’t know why the bother to show up.” Meaning that he is so good and he is so committed to the game that there is no chance they can win. He owns the win before the game begins.
Owning it also means you must be committed to the process. You see a pro like Tiger Woods, or a performer like Angelina Jolie for a couple of hours in the game or on stage. What you don’t see is the commitment to being the best. You don’t see the thousands hours of training, hours of being coached, hours tweaking and refining. They fully own it - in every way.
You can be the next overnight success, if you are willing to commit to it and own it. Even if it takes ten years to be an overnight success. What do you own?
