Breaking Habits That Don't Serve You

Change is hard work and there is no short cut except to do it. The steps a person needs to take, however, can be very simply outlined.

Now that you've weighed both sides of the issue – your payoff and your tradeoff – it's time to make a choice. Once you are aware that you have this bad habit, it's no longer an involuntary act because now you know that you are making a conscious choice every time you perform this action. You are choosing what you value more... the payoff or the tradeoff!

In order to be successful financially in most businesses, especially those where you have exposure to the public you have to sell yourself first. If the prospect doesn’t buy you they won’t buy your product or service or join your team.

This habit is called “busyness” versus “business.” What it’s really called is hiding from the truth. And if you want success you must look for truth not hide from it, and then take action that leads you toward what you want instead of away from it.

One , you get rid of something you didn’t want or need in the first place. Two , you develop new insights into how you affect others. And three , it will greatly improve your chances at being successful.

You have to make a fundamental choice to be a success. You have to “honor” your success more than you do failure or your present condition, or the habit. Once you’ve made that choice, the rest is easy... success comes easy if you leave no room for failure.

If you didn’t have certain habits you’d be overwhelmed by the number of decisions you’d have to make to get the simplest things done. A habit is only as good as its premise.

Intention is the starting point for change. In order to make a permanent change, you must first have the “intention” to understand yourself.

Have you ever heard the statement “the truth will set you free?” the truth begins with the understanding of “that which we are without distortion.” That’s what the statement means. It’s not referring to merely telling the truth, although that’s a good place to start, but rather understanding or seeing the truth.

Of course the worst bad habit of all I haven’t yet mentioned. It’s a disease and it’s one that will absolutely destroy your chances at success in any endeavor. It’s the disease know as procrastination!
