Lesson #3 in my “Average Sucks! Learning How To Become Remarkable” series. To begin the series (highly suggested), please click –> Here
You know your bad habits. You sometimes interrupt people when they’re speaking. You eat too fast. You work long hours and don’t work hard enough on YOU. You lose focus when you get stressed. You don’t listen sometimes when you know you should be listening. Even worse, you smoke!
Whatever your bad habits are, you need to write them all down, every single one! You also need to identify all those behaviors that you know take you off track… Surfing the apps in your phone. Skimming Groupon for great deals. Surfing Facebook. Scoping those you follow in Twitter. Interrupting people when they speak. Whatever they are, you need to write them down as well. You need to be crystal clear on what they are. And, to better identify both, you should ask three people whom you feel know you very well what they think your bad habits are. Don’t just rely on your own reality… leverage the Whole truth. REAL reality. Get the full picture. Once you have that, compare and then prioritize them. Then, take one small baby step. Start with an easy one and make a 100% commitment to eradicate it from your life and very existence! Once you are successfully able to eliminate one, the others get easier. So, just please remember… baby steps. Oh, and remember… ALL SUCCESSFUL LEADERS DO THIS! Why aren’t you?
So to recap…
