Why do some people succeed more quickly than
others, and maintain that success over the
course of decades?
And why do some of those people, while others
live happy lives, seem miserable?
All people hope to achieve the great combination
of success and happiness, but that isn’t
path without problems.
Despite all of the obstacles how can we become
more successful and feel more fulfilled?
The answer is provided in Brendon Burchard's
book High-Performance Habits, a result of
20 years he spent trying to answer that question.
Burchard presents his findings in this book
which are based on extensive research, in
a practical and everyday way everyone can
adopt in personal and professional life.
So, are you ready to start your journey to
achieving fulfillment and happiness?
All you need is to follow these six steps:
Seek clarity.
High performers constantly seek clarity, they
seek it more often than others, when they
find it they tend to stay with it and on their
true path.
Clarity makes it easier to notice distractions
and keep refocusing on whats important.
Simply approach to seeking clarity is focus
on four things: self, skills, social and service.
Asking and answering these things more than
often will give you an edge.
Generate energy.
Most people lose energy throughout a day,
they bleed out energy in transition between
tasks, meetings and so on.
High performers have mastered the way they
are making those transitions.
They are more likely to take short breaks,
meditate, close their eyes…
Having a short psychological break can release
tension and allows focus in moving from one
activity onto the next.
Recharge yourself throughout a day between
activities and stop bleeding energy.
Raise necessity.
Before every major activity, high performers
raise the psychological necessity regarding
why it is important for them to perform well.
They also associate a deep sense of identity
with performing well, and they put themselves
out there and place their identity on the
line.
That’s why we call it raising necessity:
it is necessary for performing with excellence.
Increase productivity.
High performers increase the output that matters.
The main thing is to keep the main thing the
main thing.
They are also more productive because they
see five steps ahead aligning themselves in
achieving each of those things, many of them
do it unconsciously.
They just do it.
Develop influence.
High performers develop influence by challenging
people to grow and teaching them how to think.
Think about themselves, others, the world…
That leaves a sense of inspiration.
High performers challenge the people they
care about to grow, and that’s what makes
the most difference where influence is concerned.
Demonstrate courage.
Many people complain about the struggle.
High performers don't.
They're fine being in the weeds, getting muddy.
They know that showing up, even when they're
tired, will help make them the best.
Knowing that the process will be hard makes
them less afraid.
High performers have also identified someone
to fight for.
If you want the courage to stay the course
don't focus on changing the world.
Decide who you're doing it for, and then work
hard for them.
Like every journey that starts with a single
step same is here, improving all habits starts
with improving one.
