Create New Success Habits!

Often times when we talk about having a habit, it is usually regarding something that may not be good for us. A habit is an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary. There are two types of habits. There are the doing habits and the not doing habits. Both types of habits can be either positive or negative. On your path towards success you need to be very aware of your habits. It's very natural for us to create habits. There is an old saying, "We are creatures of habit." However, what we need to be aware of is whether the habits we have are adding to our success or taking away from it. So, are your habits keeping you stuck and holding you back? Or are they moving you towards the success you desire? If you have not accomplished your goals or you are not where you want to be, then there is something you need to do or stop doing. The good thing about habits is that they can be changed! It may not be easy depending on what the habit is, however, if you are willing to change the habit; it can be done with determination and perseverance. Now is the time to start creating some new success habits for yourself! Create new success habits! Make a list of some habits you believe are keeping you from accomplishing your goals. Write down the reasons why you need to change that habit. Is it hurting you or someone else? Is it causing you financial hardship? Create something that will remind and motivate you to change the habit (i.e., a motivational quote, an affirmation to say every day, or a picture of your child). "Never permit failure to become a habit." -- William Frederick Book "First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits, or they'll eventually conquer you." -- Dr. Rob Gilbert "The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams." – Og Mandino

Re: What I'm reading this weekend - Sept 10, 2010 - Glad you liked it David! I only managed to get partway through the list today because my one year old was looking for some playtime but I did read the Zen Habits one - I love reading Zen Habits while relaxing at a coffee shop!
Re: My 3 best business books - 1. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill 2. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey 3. Permission Marketing - Seth Godin Think and Grow Rich seems more powerful each time I read it or dip into it. The 7 Habits not only offers some very effective ways to organize your life (which I have yet to master!), but also some great quotations and thought provoking statements including this by Nazi concentration camp survivor, Viktor Frankl: [i:2naxzsom]Between stimulus and response, man has the freedom to choose.[/i:2naxzsom] Seth Godin's Permission Marketing is a good read for anybody seeking to understand how to approach doing business on the Internet in the right way with regard to winning people's trust.

Re: Money Does Not Guarantee Happiness - Thanks for singling this point out, Chris. One book that comes to mind that covers it in an overall approach is "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey. He addresses our inner life and the way it can change our effectiveness home and at work. There are corporations who have taken this model and effectively molded their business around it.
