OWNERSHIP 

A very commonly used term yet not part of formal education....

The ultimate and exclusive right conferred lawfully- If you have ownership of something it means that you are the owner; it belongs to you. This is the Definition of Ownership and also how most like to view Ownership as - something I own.

However, I would like to take a look at Ownership from another perspective. For me Ownership means being completely responsible for whatever you own. 

“…Losing to a superior opponent while fighting with everything you’ve got, searching until the very last for a way to win, that my friends is ownership.”

— Daniel Flowers

This is how I would like to see Ownership as. 

Taking pride in what you deliver. Ownership means you care about the success of the project. It's not about just doing something that is to be done and hope you reap success but it is more about ensuring everything that needs to be done is done in the absolute perfect way that it is to be done in. It's not just clocking in time and collecting a paycheck... it's about taking responsibility and placing value in the quality of your work. Taking ownership is not just doing a job, or working on a project; it means making it your mission to see it through.

It means you don't give a damn of what the circumstances are or what the world thinks. You are completely consumed with the passion to make it work and accept nothing lesser than the Very Result you had as the Vision when you started working for it.

Yes, Ownership should bring you Pride but shouldn't breed Arrogance. Instead of the ownership boosting up your EGO it must humble you further with the understanding that sits on your shoulder to ensure its well taken care of, appropriately projected to the world and is adequately guarded against anything that could be damaging to it. It should be absolutely clear in your head that more you OWN, more you are RESPONSIBLE. Taking the stance of ownership, we become accountable not only to others but most deeply accountable to ourselves. For an Owner, the values at stake are more intrinsic ones.

As an Owner, I can’t see a person, project or department - any aspect of it failing and say, “It isn’t my job to address it.” even when I am not personally responsible for them. Accountability is required only in the absence of personal responsibility. This is where Ownership and Leadership ceases to be the same. While Owner is simply a title or position, being a Leader (assuming the ownership) is simply a Choice. 

Being faced with the questions like:    

¶ It's not part of my responsibility. 

¶ I wasn’t trained.. 

¶ I’m waiting for ____etc.....

 Highlights a good chance you’ve lapsed in your commitment to take real ownership. Personal ownership makes all the difference during the extenuating circumstances. Excuses are merely a conveyance of what went wrong in the context of not taking personal responsibility for the results.

Owners must find a way to succeed. You Must Take Ownership of Your Success Today - That's an absolute must. So, you must OWN your success and start living in to your new identity. You have more control than you realize. Moreover, Nobody Else, Will ever take you seriously until You Do. 

Stop waiting to become perfect. Take ownership of becoming Perfect today. Today is as good an Opportunity as it would ever be. Realize now is the best time to begin and start something today.

People who Have Already Done it, weren't necessarily smarter, they took the ownership of first to start and then to keep going after it till they made it. Too much of Analysis often leads to paralysis. So, the faster you get going, the easier it will be to stay motivated. 

Ask yourself:

 If you don’t, who will?

 If not now, when?

Believe that:

You literally have everything you need to begin.

Believe in the reality of your abundance. You have more than enough resources to get started. Trust the Master Plan, Set a Goal and a Game plan, OWN it and go after it with all you got...
