It's Exciting!

When we decided to do Steven Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People I was thrilled. I have been listening to the unabridged version of the course and have found it to be incredibly impactful. The key for me has been stopping to take the time to do the exercises. In working through the course, I spent time to develop my corporate mission statement; something that I never took the time to do. John and I developed our mission statement:


To create an environment where people can prosper - financially, personally and spiritually; making it possible for each individual to recognize and realize their true potential.
To promulgate prosperity consciousness by example; developing Leadership in ourselves and others through the principles of integrity, self-reliance and entrepreneurialism.
Having a mission statement, as Covey conveys, provides us with direction. I am able to ask myself, "Is this in alignment with our mission" when I am about to take on a task or have a decision to be made. It's incredibly empowering.
To assist me with reading the book again, I have purchased the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Personal Workbook (see below for details). It's a great tool for facilitating the growth and completion of the application of the Habits.
I can't wait for our first call to discuss what we are all learning and the results we are experiencing as we apply the Habits to our personal lives and businesses. See you on Thursday! Remember...we have a new number. See the post below for details.


Make it a great day!
