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.
