Hardwiring Accountability

Overhead on the streets of New York City:
Panhandler:
“Do you have any change?”
Passerby:
“Change starts within.”

Yes, change starts from within and so does entitlement. I’ve had it with entitlement. I’ve had it with anyone, of any generation, regardless of age, with an entitlement mentality.  It you want it, make it happen for yourself. Stop relying on the boss, mom & dad or others to lift you up…if they do you are lucky…if they don’t do it yourself through persistence, sweat equity and good ole fashion hard work.

There remains an abundant amount of opportunity to enterprising and self motivated professionals at any age. (Attention-shameless self-serving link: Knowing Point Partnership.) What it takes is focus,  openness to learning, loyalty and an unrelenting attitude of Carpe Diem (seize the day).

If you deserve more, which you do; and, you want more, it is yours for effort transformed into results that matter…you just have go for it. Just don’t expect opportunity to be waiting on the  silver platter passed at the next networking event. Go and make it happen for yourself. Stop singing the entitlement blues. You’ll feel better for it.
