Learning + Doing = Success

How Do I Change My Habits?

Change Your Habits

Let’s face it. We all have what we would consider good and bad habits. In order to create good habits, a few things have to come into line. First, you must have the knowledge. You must know what to do and how to do it. Remember, you may know that you need to work out and eat better. However, you may not know what type of physical exercise and foods are best for what you want to accomplish. You may not know how to use certain equipment at the gym or how to run properly or how to cook the food you’ve purchased. Knowing what and how is vital to learning.

Second, you must have the skill set to change your habit. You may know how to use social media to market your business. However, it takes you a while to create a post. The post may not generate any interest or engage your audience. It may be because you don’t have a great product or service. However, I’d venture to guess that it’s because you’re not the expert on social media. You may not understand all of the social media requirements, algorithms, analytics, and features. You just need to improve your skillset when it comes to using social media.

Finally, you must have the desire to learn. For example, I have no desire to become a mechanic. So, I will not put any effort into working on my car. However, I have a great desire to share information that will change the lives of others. So, I seek out how I can help others. I look for information that will give me the tools to help others achieve their goals. I read, attend workshops, get up early so I can make the best use of my time, provide workshops and seminars, work with mentors, and repeat, repeat, repeat. Why? Because I have the desire. If you want to be the best at anything you must first truly desire to be the best at it.
