2024/08/14

Today we are talking about Tip #10 of the 10 tips to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is to Maintain Your Focus. Bad habits can take years to develop into subconscious behaviors. So, it’s unrealistic to expect that after one or two months of altering your behavioral pattern, those bad habits will be eliminated altogether. Be aware that it’s easy to re-establish old, practiced forms of behavior. When you feel your resolve slipping, recount the journey you’ve been on to get...

Today we are talking about Tip #9 to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is to Acknowledge and Reward Yourself. Daily or weekly achievements are an acknowledgment of your success. Take the time to stop, think, and give yourself a pat on the back in acknowledgment of how far you’ve come. Reward yourself. Let’s say you’ve gone an entire month without eating one junk food meal; so, it’s time to congratulate yourself by taking in a movie, playing a round of golf, getting a massage, or goin...

2024/08/12

Today we are talking about Tip #8 to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is Falling Off the Wagon. Failure only turns into reality when you stop trying. Don’t allow one small slip up to be reason enough for failure. Accept that your action plan had a slight “bump” and then get straight back on the wagon and continue the journey. I call this, allowing yourself to have a little “pitty party”, however that looks for you. Nobody is perfect and there could be a small slip, so get up, ...

Today we are talking about Tip #7 to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is to Set Up a Support Structure. Keeping your action plan to yourself is a great excuse if you fail. You figure: “Nobody knows about what you I’m aiming to achieve, therefore, nobody will know when I fail.” Tell your friends, colleagues, and family about what you are proposing to do and enlist their support and encouragement. They can often foresee your trigger points or notice your behavior slipping in...

Today we are talking about Tip #6 to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is to Maintain Motivation. After the initial novelty of making a life altering change begins, boredom can set in. Continually challenge yourself to stay on target, and focus on the good things you will achieve once you’ve broken the back of your bad habit. This will also help you from falling back on to your bad habit you are trying to break. I have heard so many times over the years from people who would tell me, I ha...

Today we are talking about Tip #5 to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is to Plot your Progress. Take note of your daily/weekly/monthly progress in your diary or on a calendar in full view. Nothing is as inspirational as seeing how far you’ve come and what it would cost if you had to begin the process all over again. As you may or may not know (but could probably guess by listening to me for a while now), I’m anal. I create tracking spreadsheets for everything. I wanted to try a new ...

Today we are talking about Tip #4 to Help You Break Bad Habits, which is No Excuses! Provide yourself with a safe haven in which to activate your plan for change. As an example, if you decide to give up smoking, get rid of any leftover cigarette packets, remove ashtrays, lighters, matches or anything else that reminds you of smoking.

If you don’t consider the price you pay for repeating the bad habit worthwhile, then it’s likely you won’t break the habit.

What is a Bad Habit Costing You?

The Accountability Minute:Business... ·

2024/08/04

The most critical exercise in beginning the process of breaking a bad habit is looking at what is the payoff and what is the cost? Let’s look at alcohol abuse: ask yourself “what do I gain by having 5 or 6 drinks every night when I get home from work?” Of course, the answer is easy. For you it might be, “A drink or two relaxes me”, “I have time to think about the day’s events”, or “I can forget about the stresses of the day, my pain in the butt employees or clients I had to deal wit...

Today we are talking about tip #3 to help you get things done when you might be afraid of failure, which is to, Sleep On It. When you are really worried about something, it is often a good idea to take a step back and to give yourself time to refocus.

If you are a person who avoids picking up the phone even though it is necessary for client acquisition and revenue generation efforts, ask yourself, ‘What’s the worst thing that can happen?’ Picking up the phone probably won’t kill you. Now, in contrast, try asking yourself, ‘What’s the best thing that could happen?’ THIS is the mindset that you should embody as you make your calls.

Amazingly enough, I’ve worked with clients were afraid to ask for referrals. I have seen and heard of studies where when people were asked if they had been asked for referrals from a business professional they hired, the majority said no. When asked if they would provide referrals if they were asked, 94 out of 100 clients said they would; however only 11 out of 100 clients are ever asked. Most likely, your clients are your clients because they trust you and feel you are...

Being a successful business owner is not always easy, to say the least. There are no doubt days when you probably envy those working underneath you. They make good wages, they work for a great boss who has blazed the trail for them, they go home at a decent hour and don’t take work with them, and they get to reap the benefits of your hard work without the risk that you take on every day. They don’t make as much money as YOU do, but they probably DO earn a competitive wage while not having to ...
