How close are you to achieving success? The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People -
Last weekend, I discovered that I had a first edition copy of Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. When it was first published, back in 1989, the book was promoted with advanced praise. When Stephen Covey published the book, I'm sure that he dreamed that it might become a best seller. However, I doubt that he truly comprehended that it was going to lead him to create what would become a billion dollar empire. I wonder, how close are you to achieving a level of success that is beyond your comprehension?
In case you are curious or would like a reminder, the following are Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind.
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win/Win
5. See first to understand, then to be understood
6. Synergies
7. Sharpen the saw
However, before you can create new habits that will allow you to become more effective, Stephen Covey reminds us that we need to learn to look at challenges and problems from the inside out. We need to focus on how we look at things. As we navigate through life and the creation of our business, we need to make certain that we are using the correct map, the correct paradigm.
Well, I need to get my day started. I hope that you week you have a very productive week as you work on creating content for your websites.
