The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

[Adam Wallis]

Aren’t we all searching to be trying to improve ourselves, to make a greater, more meaningful impact in our own lives and in the lives of others?

What stands in the way of us doing that? Ourselves of course. So how do we need change in order to create the life we want to live? That starts with adopting the habits of the great leaders – past and present. What did they do?

Well, based upon the working of Stephen R Covey, they lived 7 principle-centred habits of high effectiveness that radically empowered them to achieve greatness.

If I had to boil all these habits down to two

If I had to boil all these habits down to two, they’d be:

(1) Do something. Just stop sitting around and take action. Every minute you’re sitting around checking Facebook, you’re not taking action getting you closer to you dreams

and

(2) Plan what you’re taking action about. Don’t just take action willy-nilly. Actually have a plan. Think things through. Do one thing in the right order before you need to do the next thing in order to get where you want to go.

That’s it.

Covey built a billion dollar empire based on those two kernels of knowledge.

But I guarantee you, two months from now, if you meet me on the street and ask, I’ll probably have to confess that I’ve forgotten those two keys to success.

So, I sat back and realized that there was one thing I remembered from reading that book 23 years ago, which really has stayed with me through my career and has been of immeasurable help to me. It’s not even a habit. It’s a two-by-two matrix used to help remind you to plan things out before you take action.

Very well said. I'll have to remember that.

good advice to plan to get a good idea of what will be needed..
then act

[coolaura]

That is an excellent book. I would think that the key to empowerment is positive attitude as Brian Tracy had said. Achievement is linked to attitudes more than anything else, more than academic performance or high IQ level.
