"Habits that Shape Success: Decoding Steven Covey's 7 Wonders"– with Mark Creedon

One of the most influential books I read in the 1990’s was Stephen Covey’s ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” It’s a classic and a classic for a reason. The seven habits are really powerful things to build into your life. In a way, they’re just common sense. Like “begin with the end in mind” or “put first things first” But the thing about common sense is it’s just not that common. Not in practice anyway. So in today’s episode, I delve into Stephen Covey's renowned Seven Habits of Highly Effective People with Mark Creedon, founder of Mastermind Business Accelerator. If you want to become more successful as a property investor or business person, or just in life in general I'm sure you got to get some gems from my chat with Mark Creedon today as we unpack the this personal development classic.

They're waiting for a break in the conversation so they can continue on with their discussion, their argument.” – Michael Yardney “What I'm trying to say is fear does have some uses because it actually lets you know that you're alive.” – Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.
