Radical Responsibility

Alex Hormozi: the two words that help make everyone self made successful person: “my fault.”

Radical responsibility. Sounds heavy, doesn't it? Yet it's the key to unlocking the life you want. Alex Hormozi says the wealthiest people are the ones who look at any situation and say, "My fault." This isn’t about blame; it's about power. The moment you own it, you control it. You played a part in your circumstances, whether you like it or not.

Think about it: No matter how you played your cards, you had a hand in it. Maybe you could’ve done more diligence, set up better systems, or avoided relying so heavily on that one deal. It’s not about the past; it’s about what you do next.

Reframe and Reclaim

Regardless of what happened, dwelling on it won’t change a thing. Update your mental model with the new information and move forward. Being a victim is a chapter, not the entire book. You might be a victim, but you don’t have to let that be the end of your story. Your story can be about how you wielded your pain and made something out of it.

• eg: even if you don’t think its your fault about a situatoin that may have unfolded (or that you’re currently in), you can still ask yourself what different lens or perception could you have taken? Could you have picked up on any signs, set any boundaries or expectations earlier, at any point?

Alex hormozi says - power is where the blame finger points. aim it at yourself.

Own Your Mistakes

Made a mistake? Good. Own it, claim it, and move on. Wear your scars like armor. There's no shame in having them. They're proof that you’ve lived, that you’ve learned.

There’s a tattoo artist who transforms domestic violence scars into beautiful art. That’s a concept to live by. Take what’s painful, what’s ugly, and turn it into something powerful and beautiful.

The Power of "My Fault"

By saying “my fault,” you reclaim your narrative. You’re no longer a passive character in your life’s story; you’re the author. You decide how the story ends. So, take radical responsibility. It’s not just about taking the blame; it’s about taking control.

Make your mistakes. Own your scars. Create something beautiful from them. That’s the essence of radical responsibility. It’s the path to true wealth and fulfillment.
