LEAD TO WIN : No 12 : Habits for Success


"The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of force and habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him - and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires."
-- J. Paul Getty

Our habits impact our lives and careers both negatively and positively. What we need to objectively assess is which are impeding our ability to succeed and which are keeping us on track to realize our goals and dreams.

Once you identify a habit or behavior that is not working for you, you must replace it with one that gets positive results. This is recommended as it keeps us from regressing back to what is familiar to us (albeit counterproductive!).

Habits allow us to save time; we don't need to think about what we're doing, we merely "do it". But is this serving us well? What can we change to become more disciplined and focused and not be on "automatic pilot"?

So what can you do? Start replacing your non productive behaviors with those that will help you achieve the results you desire.
  • If you're consistently late for meetings set an alarm on your laptop, watch, phone, etc.
  • Post notes in your office reminding you of what TO do.
  • Block out time in your daily calendar and use that time to return phone calls and emails.
  • Use your goals to set priorities.
  • Organize your day; determine what must get done and abide by your task list.
  • Add your personal tasks to your calendar. Ex. Gym time, call home, dinner-time, etc
Ultimately what you need to do is decide what habits work for you, replace those that don't work for you, and commit to making the positive changes that help you achieve success!
"The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests."
