Monday Inspiration #004 – Habits of Successful People

In 1989, Stephen R. Covey wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, it marked the start of a new genre of self help books – it was self help for the business mind.

So whilst you’re getting ready for a new week here’s the meat from the book…

Habit 1: Be Proactive
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit 4: Think Win/Win
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Habit 6: Synergize
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

This is another fabulous quote – and it’s a tweetable!

Habit is the intersection of knowledge (what to do), skill (how to do), and desire (want to do). {Click To Tweet}

  2. Each person sees the success in their own way! We should remember this more before looking down on others that we encounter, and interactions will be smoother and more of a win-win.

  3. “Being successful means something different to each person….. respect that.”

    I love this quote. It took a few years for my father to realize that I wasn’t going to follow his path for success, and I think he still has trouble understanding. But that’s okay as long as I know what I want, and I’m going for it.

  6. Like so many books we need to read to remind ourselves, Covey’s 7 Habits are such common sense. How unfortunate sense is not so “common” anymore. Thank you for the great quotes, Rachael!
