The Self-Confidence Habit
When we think of building self-confidence, we understand that it means having confidence in yourself.
Duuuuh!
But, when you understand that there is a continuum we all live on, this issue starts to make sense from a practical viewpoint.
There are actually 3 different steps on the continuum:
The Opportunity Habit
The term opportunity has a very simple definition, and yet, is all-encompassing:
An exploitable set of circumstances with an uncertain outcome, requiring a commitment of resources and involving exposure to risk.
So, what we are suggesting you actually do each day is to make this a HABIT:
My Guardian Angel…
When we think of all the men and women who died for our freedom…
who gave their very being for our right to live a good and honorable life…
we recognize that it is our responsibility — indeed, our duty — to not just remember their service, but to live our lives as a testament to their sacrifice, courage, and honor.
The Miracle Habit
The term Miracle has a very simple definition…
A surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency… a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences.
A miracle is an event so marvelous that it seems like it was sent from above. Catching that foul ball from the stands at the World Series? A miracle!
The Leadership Habit
The term Leadership has a very simple definition:
Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
Most experts agree that there are 5 prime characteristics of a great leader: Vision… Trust… Perspective… Focus… Action…
So, what we are suggesting you do each day is to make this a HABIT:
3 Vital Rules of Business Success
Follow these 3 rules and you have a real shot of achieving entrepreneurial greatness.
Don’t, and no matter how hard you work… how hard you want success… it just won’t happen.
Yes, I am the proverbial expert in this matter!
I have tried it both ways.
A couple of times I skipped rule 1 and 2… resulting in total disaster.
Empowerment as a Habit.
The term empowerment refers to measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority.
It is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.
Empowerment as action refers both to the process of self-empowerment and to professional support of people, which enables them to overcome their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence and to recognize and use their resources.
To do work with power.
The Small Biz Paradox
The Small Biz Paradox…
The dilemma — you want to grow your small business to become a titan of industry.
The paradox is that your business cannot grow any bigger than its leaders.
It will never grow beyond your abilities because you simply will not let it.
In the end, the more you try to grow, the faster you will fail…
Self Love as a Habit.
Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness.
Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.
Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve.
Loving yourself doesn’t mean you think you’re the smartest, most talented, and most beautiful person in the world. Instead, when you love yourself you accept your so-called weaknesses, appreciate these so-called shortcomings as something that makes you who you are. When you love yourself you have compassion for yourself.
Kindness as a Habit.
How many times each day are you kind… versus nice… or just plain mannerly?
What is your KQ… Kindness Quotient? Take the past 3 months, would you say you were kind, or just NOT meanspirited?
Kindness is — and always will be — one of the most beautiful and powerful forces for good that exists in the entire world.
Why? A quick search on the net finds this from Kindness is Everything…
Kindness Is Love In Action.
Emotional Freedom? Me?
When I was completing Think TQ & Grow Rich, I looked back at all the wisdom of the ages and came to this conclusion.
The people who made it over the years all had what psychologists today call “High Self-Efficacy”… the belief in our power to produce positive results that leads to positive changes in our life.
The reality is this. High Self-Efficacy leads to high Self-Confidence which leads to high Self-Esteem. You can’t have one without the others. Most experts predicate this on a high degree of emotional freedom.

The Goals Habit…
Making Goals a Habit…
SET GOALS is the fourth color in the Time Prism Performance Spectrum, because you can’t make the leap from here to your vision, all in one jump. You can’t just “do” a mission. You need specific, tangible targets to give you immediate direction — ones which will lead thereafter to even greater destinations.
When you set specific GOALS, you target future accomplishments with precision and clarity. The first step in getting “EVERYTHING” you want is to specify exactly what “EVERYTHING” is.

Honor Is a Driving Force of Success
To understand why HONOR is critical to your success, click play on the Smarter in a Minute clip above >> take a breath >> and THINK >>
When we think of a giant word like excellence we generally see it through the lens of quality or worth.
Like excellence, a lack of honor drives you further away from the life you love.
A life of high worth and achievement.
According to the urban dictionary, Honor has many uses, all of them good. If you are called a man of honor, you are respected. If someone honors you, they recognize and award you for your achievements.
Leadership & Vision Go Together Like Ham & Eggs
The only true gift a leader must possess is vision.
One of my best friends is a man who is considered a Christian Statesman, Sir John Edmund Haggai.
Author of numerous books on leadership, this single quote has stuck with me for my entire career…
“The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers. He captures their attention with his optimistic intuition of possible solutions to their needs. He influences them by the dynamism of his faith. He demonstrates confidence that the challenge can be met, the need resolved, the crisis overcome.”
Parsing this out, you quickly get the idea that…
