How To Predict Your Success

Your success is determined by your daily habits. What you on the consistent basis will shape your outcome. I am a strong believer in this idea. However, what are the habits you need to develop? Very interesting and powerful question. Just do you own thinking or researching the successful people you want to emulate and get the ideas from them. Read books and watch this YouTube. I am glad our great master Robin Sharma just recently produce a great video on this topic. These are the great rituals to start. Enjoy.

2017 Is Coming

I know it is not time to celebrate New Year yet! But the new 2017 is coming very soon. It is the right time to start thinking and reflecting about our life moving forward. Grab pen and journal and start planning about your life. Time to reflect; what went right and what not?
What are the five key areas of your life? for me ; Religion, Health, Family, Career and Wealth. For you may be different. How are you doing for each part of that life? What you want to continue? What to stop? What to minimize and What to start?
What are your career mantra for 2017? How many books you want to read? What topics? for me, next year I want to flood my brain about financial knowledge. I am listing out minimum  25 books on this subject for me to read in 2017!
We need start thinking about next year now while finishing up this year with a blast.
Enjoy!.

This magazine covers various aspect of ones personal developement; career, family, well being , financial, wealth etc. This where I got the information for latest books on certain topics and where I found the ideas for great websites or authors.

Do not be a hero, make a hero.

What you focus on will expand.

Every morning full up your brain with endorphine.

Get out from your confort zone and you will later live in a comfortable life.

Do not ask others to do the things that you yourself are not able to do.

Three Selected Books For This Month

There are three subject matters that I want to master in a very new distance. They are Selling, Resilience and Storytelling. Why these topics? I believe these three skills are crucial for my career success. Best way for achieve this goal is through reading. And the best place to find great books are at amazon.com The first book for the topic of selling is this one;

I have following this author for more than 2 years now and really wish he come out with a book. Finally he did and just published his first book this month. Those in sales, this book is a must and the title is as good as the content!.

Next one is Resilience which frankly I came across the idea to master this matter after listening to a podcast to one of my leadership guru ; Bregman when he interviewed one of experts in this Resilience topic. I surved the amazon and found that the content of this book is great. I put in the list as my next reading for this topic;

The last one is Storytelling. This skill is important especially if you are a Leaders. I also surveyed a lot of books on this topic and this one seems to stand out. Definitely will buy and read it one day.

Ritual Is The Key

How To Make Your New Habit Stick?

Ever wonder how to make your new habit stick? Are there any effective ways to track your habits? And how to make tracking of a new habit fun?

Developing a new good habit is not easy. But developing a bad one is easy :) ! 

Do not worry, I am helping you develop  a good habit here.

The way ro develop a new habit is not that difficult actually ; if you know the tricks.

1. You must track the new habit you want to install in your life.

2. You must have proper tracking system.

3. Have a Trigger.

4. Do it at specific time everyday.

Lets go in detail....

1. You must track the habit you want to develop. Eg of new habit may be wake up early at 5 :30 am daily or doing daily planning every morning before starting your day.

2. Proper Tracking System.

Last time I used  a note book as my Log System. It was manual. I drew a chart indicating the habit I wanted to develop and every nite bofore went to sleep, I put mark '/' if and 'x' not done. Do this very day. Now, I am using Apps " GoalTracker " installed in my iphone. Very easy now day to track my habit. Actually there are a lot Apps out there up you can choose.

3. Have a Trigger.  Trigger is just a like reminder. Eg, you can set alarm or reminder in your smart phone at specific time for you to do certain habit ... Time to take your supplement. One of my friends, set a reminder for every 3 hours to remind him to drink plain water. Another examples of triggers; get your running shoes / running gears ready by your bed side ( if you want to develop running as your new habit) or put book ready on your table the nite before go to sleep if you want to develop reading habit in early morning.

4. Do it at specific time. Eg, take supplement after breakfast. Take a break at 10:30 am. Read 5 verses of Quran after Magrib prayer etc. If you do it at specific time everyday, the chances of habit installation is great.

I wish you luck and what is one habit you want to develop now? Go For it! and share with me how it goes...
