,One needs to change the way you approach life and work. Take control of the things around you- and the activities you control. Become the owrner instead of just being an employee (in attitude). You will never go wrong. A great book that I recommend you buy and read.

1. Key Learnings
BOOM!

2. 7 CHOICES FOR BLOWING THE DOORS
OFF BAU 1. Be a Player- not a bystander
• Extraordinary happens when Ordinary People Do Whatever It Takes.
2. Be Accountable
• There is NO “they”- Only You and Me
3. Choose Service over self-interest
• Me-First Rarely Delivers the Desired Results
4. Focus Forward
• Your Future Isn’t in the Rearview Mirror
5. Play to your Genius
• Your Work is a Statement About You.
6. Get it Done
• Success is the Reward for those Who Make a Difference
7. Risk More – Gain More
• The World Isn’t Changed by Those Who are Unwilling to Take Risks

3. THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE IS THE ONE IN WHICH YOU
DECIDE YOUR LIFE IS YOUR OWN. NO APOLOGIES OR
EXCUSES. NO ONE TO LEAN ON, RELY ON, OR BLAME.
THE GIFT OF LIFE IS YOURS; IT IS AN AMAZING JOURNEY,
AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY
OF IT.

4. CHOICE!
• The difference between ordinary people and
extraordinary people is CHOICE.
• The freedom to choose may be the most power
attribute and precious resource you have in your life.
• The Freedom to choose is yours alone to leverage or
not. No one can grant it to you, and no one can take it
away from you.

5. CHOOSE TO BE A PLAYER- NOT A BYSTANDER

6. PLAYERS CHOSE TO FOCUS ON WHAT THEY CAN
CONTROL
• You can control your attitude towards your boss and senior
leaders & the business.
• You can control your ability to perform, to become a guru, a
thought-leader, a go-to-person who is seen as adding value.
• You can control your approach when interacting with your boss
and other leaders.

7. BEHAVE LIKE A OWNER!
• Owners step out from behind titles and job descriptions to act on behalf of
the customer , partners and the company.
• They never say "This is not my job" or "this is too big for me".
• Owners cater to the organization mission, vision and values. Non-owners
cater to bosses.
• Owners focus on the business results of their actions
• Owners have the guts to ask the tough questions. They understand the
consequences of complacency- and they aren't afraid to challenge the status
quo with the mantra "How can we make it better"
• Owners disregard functional boundaries to consider what's goodf or the
company as a whole.
• Owners pay attention to detail
