Take the Challenge!

Can't stop timeTime doesn’t stop for anyone. Without knowing it we are already in February.


Research proves, again and again, that most New-Year resolutions die by mid-February.


Those wonderful ideas and goals you set for yourself at the end of 2013, or on January 1 somehow have this tendency of disappearing by Valentine’s Day (February 14).


Just have a look at the gyms. Comes January 1st, there is hardly a machine that is available. All lessons are fully booked and in those trendy popular gyms, you need to book in advance for your specific time slot that you wish to have.


However stroll into the gym in the middle of February you’ll find it half empty and most lessons start later due to the fact that they are still “waiting” for the latecomers…


What happened?

What is the difference between those that DO reach their goals and those that just HOPE for their goals?


Success-cycleWhat makes one person more successful than the other?

The difference lies in their habits.


In the last 20 years I had the good fortune and the privilege to meet and work with many successful people in many different areas of life.

From the entrepreneur that became a billionaire from his kitchen table lost it all and then became a billionaire for the second time.


From loving couples in their 40th and 50th anniversary to the single mother that raises her 3 kids in freedom I didn’t know exists.

From top models to bestselling authors.


From the martial art world champion to the inventor of a viable technology to harness solar energy from space.

From the man that dedicated his life to help Uganda’s poorest children to the woman that overcame cancer and made it her calling to help other women overcome it too…


And although each and every one of them is different and unique in his or her personality, challenges and way of life, they all have something in common…


good-habits-bad-habitsThey all developed and mastered what I call “success habits”. 


Success habit is this supporting behavior that when repeated regularly often enough becomes a habit, which requires very little effort or awareness, resulting in almost automatic life-long success.


I’m sure you’re not surprised. Somehow you all know this to be true – either from experience, or from just common sense.


Then why is it that you’re not developing more success habits? 


Because it seems that developing a new habit ‘forever’ is really, really hard. Because doing something ‘forever’ seems like, well…forever.


If you wanted to quit smoking, it’s really hard to say you’ll NEVER have another cigarette. But with the 30 Day Success Habit Builder, you don’t talk about forever.


Instead, you make the commitment to develop (or change) a habit for only one month. That’s it.


After the month is over, you evaluate this habit and decide either to:



Continue evaluating it for another 30 days; or
Drop it, if it doesn’t support you; or
Make it permanent

I’ve used this 30-day Success Habit Builder countless times in my life. From keeping up my promises to myself, to eating healthy, meditating every day for an hour, or even stop watching TV.


30-Day-ChallengeSo, here is my challenge for you.


For the next 30 days commit yourself to practicing one new success habit that you know would make a difference in your life.


It can be anything. Like…



Getting up earlier every morning
Writing in your journal every day
Reading for an hour a day
Meditating every day
Going for a long walk every day
Stop watching TV
Meeting someone new every day
Giving up cigarettes, meat, sweets, junk food, coffee, or other unhealthy addictions
Smiling, flossing, exercising, listening to music, listening to your children, talking with your partner (really talking)…
Etc…

And I promise you one thing. After 30 days, it will be so much easier to extend the experiment for another 30 days, and again… until it becomes… ‘forever’.


Now I’m curious…


What success habit would you take on yourself for the coming 30 days?

Share it with us in the comment box below - What would be your new Success Habit?


Sharing your commitment will make it stronger, thus helping you keep your new habit, and will inspire others to make their own commitment to their success. TOGETHER we can make it.
