If becoming a success were easy, everyone would do it. It isn’t. They don’t. As a follower of the Action Principles^®, you can. You can develop winning habits while identifying and working to eliminate your bad habits. Be patient. Psychological studies have shown that it takes about 30 days to begin to form or begin to rid yourself of a habit.

You can keep your word even though this may not always be easy. You can write and focus on your goals and objectives and your to-do list. You can exercise when you’re tired. You can read business materials. You can volunteer. You can give a little extra money to charity. You can give a little extra time to family members, stu­dents and customers. You can pick up litter on the jog­ging path. You can delay gratification. You can do a lot while others are idle.

You won’t always want to do these things. You will feel that you are doing more than your share. You are right. Work on your habits. You are tough.

Every day, you stop to think about where you have been, where you are now and where you are going. What can you do to make more money and advance your career?

You work from a prioritized to-do list. This list helps you to separate the urgent from the important from the routine. Every day, you look for small ways to challenge yourself and spoil yourself.

No one knows you better than you. Be honest with yourself. No one is perfect. There are personal areas that need improvement. Should you be dieting or exercising or reading more? Should you be spending more quality time at home with those who truly love you? Today is day one of your thirty-day quest to develop a new win­ning habit.

At work, what tasks are you avoiding? Should you be cold calling or following-up or soliciting new business or making personnel changes? Today is day one.

In this defining moment, you can choose to invest one month in the formation of new, positive habits and become a better, happier and more successful person.
