Hey Shoremates, Welcome back to Mind Your Helm.  The podcast designed for those who who want the best books broken down into small, bite sized pieces. My name is JD Elliott, and today we are continuing our 5th book, the power of Habit: why we do what we do in life and business, by Charles Duhigg.

Action Items. For ease of reference they are listed in the show notes as well:

1. If you are in a position of leadership, are there any areas that you can give more control to those under you? With the knowledge from these experiments, what changes can you make?
2. If you personally struggle with self discipline or will power, then make yourself some prompts similar to the case studies.  Identify areas you struggle with the most, then imagine yourself solving those issues when they come.  Imagine what the difficulties will be, then how you’ll overcome them.

Shoremates, I hope that this episode was valuable to you.  If you only ever do action items from one of the chapters, this is definitely one that will radically improve your life.  By increasing your self discipline by flexing your will power muscle and creating habits, it’s a matter of time before you become healthier physically, emotionally, and financially. This truly is a life changing book, and I highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf for greater detail on each chapter.

Always, always remember.  You’ve got this.

-J.D. Elliott
