Success-Building Habits

It’s actually very simple to be successful. Just decide to do it, and then take success-building actions today and every day from now on.

We all have habits – some bad and some good. It sounds simple, but to start on the path to success you need to start replacing the success-killing habits with success-building habits. This can be difficult and uncomfortable for a while – oh well – suck it up.

Initially, it may seem harder to success-building habits than it is to keep the success-killing. And it is. But the difference making this trade will make is enormous.

It gets easier as you move along. The more success-building actions you make, the more success- building habits you create – the easier it is to continue down that path. It’s like someone embarking on a workout program. The first few weeks are tough but after a while they can’t miss a day without feeling guilty. The more you do it, the more it becomes a part of you.

So today I’m going to help you create a success-building habit.

I want you to read both Jim Labadie’s blog post at:

and Alwyn’s Cosgrove’s at:

After digesting what they both talked about, here’s the habit I want you to create:

Every time you read something, listen to something or watch something – instead of turning a deaf ear to it or saying “I already know that” – instead I want you to say “how can I improve from what I just experienced.” If you make small, incremental improvements over and over – you have no choice but to be successful. Everything you see and everywhere you go provide learning opportunities – make sure you don’t waste them.
