People form habits & habits form futures! Successful Habits for Greatness
Mike Litman is not short on passion and a great success story. I found listening to his Greatness Held Hostage CD full of successful habits that I think everyone would greatly benefit from. He is the author of the #1 Best-Seller, Conversation with Millionaires. I took notes for you and hope you will choose at least one new habit and start acting on it now.
Notes taken from Greatness Held Hostage by Mike Litman
People form habits & habits form futures.
(read that again and really let that sentence sink in)
3 steps to move you towards greatness & success
1. Ask: What is one thing I don’t want to do today but if I did would move my life or business forward?
2. How will I benefit from doing it?
3. Do it NOW!
Become outcome driven! Successful people focus on the reward instead of focusing on the process.
Successful people make a habit of doing things you don’t like to do that will get you the reward you want.
Recognize your time is precious!
Successful people have 3 Ps for respecting their time
1. Protect their time
2. Preserve their time
3. Prioritize their time
So, Plan your day in advance.
Write out your six things to do the night before and prioritize them in the order of importance.
On a 3×5 card write down the six things that you are going to do that will move your life/business forward. Do things in the order of their importance and don’t move to the next thing till you have completed the highest priority
You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going! We have been trained to be perfect
in school and at work and will not make a move till everything is in place or perfect. Just Decide to move forward and the market place, person or event will give you feedback to make it better.
Choose to be consistent! In life you’re either consistent or you’re non-existent.
Your power lies in you being consistent. Moments of brilliance don’t create greatness. It is the consistent ones who reap the benefits of their invested time and energy.
Stop saving the world first! You’ve got to save yourself first by taking care of yourself first. You need to make money by providing value to the market place or a solution to a problem in which you get paid. Charity is not business. Business is a value for value exchange. After you save yourself then you can help the world.
Raise your enthusiasm! Do 1% more than what you are doing today to create something greater in your life now. Find your passion, & unleash your greatness. Find something to get behind and create it. The world needs you, and you need it to save yourself first.
Say Yes to opportunities and be more decisive! Get in the habit of saying yes to more opportunities that show up. Say yes to life more! You loose more by being indecisions than by making bad decisions. Step up and be a leader in your life.
That is how greatness begins. You don’t have to get it right you just have to get it going.
Find someone to hold you accountable & coach you! Attach yourself to people who will hold you accountable to grow and get more of the results you want in your life. Build your team. Everyone needs someone to help them grow and move into their greatness.
Take Action! Take one thing and apply it NOW!
If you are ready for accountability and having a coach in your life give me a call and let’s talk about your greatness and how we can work together to break the habits & thinking that are keeping you small.
