HABIT 1: Be Proactive
• You’re responsible for your results. Your life stems from careful design or careless
choice. You choose to direct your life, or you choose to be the plaything of
circumstances.

HABIT 2: Begin with the end in mind

• See the finish line before you start. How do you want people to remember you? What
result do you want to have at days’ end?

HABIT 3: Put First Things First

• Choose to do what it takes to reach your finish line regardless of mood or
circumstances.

HABIT 4: Think Win/Win

• Whenever it comes to others, ask how you can get what you want while helping them
get what they want.

HABIT 5: Seek First to Understand, than to be Understood

• Listen before you speak. Get people to clarify their understanding of what you’ve said.

HABIT 6: Synergize
• You get greater results working with others than the sum of your combined efforts
working singly.

HABIT 7: Sharpen the Saw

• Take the time to keep your mind, body, emotions, and spirit in peak conditions.
•

On a 10-point scale, if I am at the level two in any field, and desire to move to
level five, I must first take the step toward level three. A thousand-mile journey
begins with the first step and can only be taken one step at a time.
-Stephen Richards Covey
