Seven Habits

The following are the Seven Habits to be successful.

1.  Be Proactive.   Change starts from within so one must be proactive and make changes today.  For example; I know that I tend to put things off until the last minute, this is a behavior that I need to correct to be successful.

2.  Begin with the End in Mind.  Develop a mission statement and extend that mission statement into long term goals.

3. Put First Things First.   Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission first.  Make time for each thing you need to do.  Using a calendar with your day broken down by the hour helps.

4. Think Win/Win.  Seek agreements and relationships that are beneficial to you and your goal.

5.  Seek First to Understand, Then be Understood.  First seek to understand what the other party is telling you.  Once you have understanding of what they are saying, then you can begin to have that party understand what you are conveying.

6.  Synergize.  Communicate and  find way for everyone to benefit from each others differences.  One persons weakness may be another persons strong suit.  Use each other for help and everyone will benefit.

7. Sharpen the Saw.  Take time out to build production capacity through personal renewal of  the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.
