Why do so many high-achievers credit their success to one strikingly simple habit? Veteran real estate investor and mentor Dennis Henson joins Harmonious at Lunch to detail the single most effective action for achieving long-term professional and personal growth. After mentoring hundreds of successful students, he identified the one common denominator: the daily habit of reading positive material aligned with your primary goal.

This episode breaks down how this small, consistent action serves as a powerful tool for business leaders. Dennis explains how to use this method to maintain motivation, gain critical clarity on your objectives, and overcome the subconscious resistance that derails most new routines. Discover how to build a sustainable practice that improves focus, reduces stress, and keeps you on track, drawing lessons from the repeated failures of historical figures like Hershey and Lincoln.
