Perhaps the key principle most critical to achieving success in any business endeavor is the concept of responsibility.

Responsibility is simply the ability to respond at any time and to any situation in a way that honors you as a person and supports you in your relationships with others. Contrast this with how we have been trained to view responsibility.

Responsibility does not involve blame, fault, or burden. Not being responsible does not connote shame, guilt or unworthiness. It does not involve a value judgment subject to someone's opinion about how you "should" do something or how someone ought to run her life.

Responsibility instead involves taking full acceptance for every event, relationship, action and situation that occurs in your life.
