The only person on whom you can truly depend is…Today’s Quote of the Day

Today’s Quote of the Day

"The only person on whom you can truly depend is YOU."

– Barbara Ling

Sad, isn’t it?

But for the most part, it’s oh so true (especially in business).

Have you ever started a new project or launched a new site or tackled a new challenge, only to discover that your colleagues who promised you help or a review or support just conveniently forgot about that wee fact of life?

It can be very depressing…or it can be a blessing in disguise.

It’s depressing if you’ve actually counted on people to deliver…and can be the kiss of death to your productivity as well.

But, if you take ownership of your own feelings (and realize that besides your family and loved ones):

NOBODY owes you ANYTHING.

you learn to become self-reliant in a blindingly quick amount of time.

It’s very character-building to boot. 

So, when you’re launching something brave and new….be sure you take ownership of all the critical aspects and that your success is NOTdependent upon someone else.

Your income’s fitness will thank you for it.  🙂

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling
