How can we apply habits to create success in our lives?
On today’s episode, I interview the Author of “Atomic Habits”, James Clear. Anytime I come across anyone who has read this book, has been completely blown away by it. It is such a fantastic book and is incredibly easy to read and apply. With James' insights & knowledge he shares, he makes success feel possible.
In today’s episode we discuss:
- How habits are created?
- How to form new habits to get the results we want.
- How we execute a 4-step pattern every time we perform a habit which includes; cue, craving, response & reward.
- How to change one’s habits.
- What habit stacking is.
- The power of the 1% rule.
- The compounding interest of applying habits in one’s life.
- Jame’s definition of “Limitless Potential”.
