4.24 THE POWER OF GOOD HABITS
There are many documented reasons why people fail to achieve their full
potential.
As noted earlier, the top three percent of the population are disciplined
goal setters. What is interesting is that the next 27% only need to put in
a small effort to move into the top group.
The secret behind the effort is the development of habits and strategies,
which support the achievement of clear goals.
Benjamin Franklin discovered this the hard way. He was receiving
constant criticism about his negative communication. He listed all the
elements in his life that he had the courage to say did not support him or
his relationships. He worked on one of these elements each month. He
had set goals to develop new successful habits.
Look at the list on the next page. What habits do you need to change in
order to achieve the success you deserve? These habits and strategies
are the basis of success in life. People who make a conscious effort to
include these in their lives get positive results.
What are you going to do about the habits and strategies you are not yet
able to tick? the Complete Goal Management System suggests that, if
there are some unchecked questions, then they need to be included in
your Overall Strategies. If you have specific strategies that are uniquely
necessary for a specialist role, you will need to add them later. For
example, an athlete may have to attend the gym every day for an hour, a
doctor may have to read a journal article every day.
