Are you performing up to your potential? Are you afraid to jump to the next level? Are your habits pushing you forward or holding you back?
The most important book on self-motivation and achieving more than you imagined hit the bookstores last week: "High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way," by Brendon Burchard.
Burchard is the world's leading high-performance coach and a sought-after personal development trainer. Drawing inspiration from Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Successful People," Burchard was determined to answer three questions:
• Why do some individuals and teams succeed more quickly than others and sustain that success over the long term?
• Of those who pull it off, why are some miserable and others consistently happy on their journey?
• What motivates people to reach for higher levels of success in the first place, and what practices help them improve the most?
I've heard Burchard speak on several occasions, so I invited him to speak to my roundtable group about his results. "The right habits lead to sustained long-term success. High performance means succeeding beyond standard norms, consistently over the long-term," Burchard explained. "It feels like full engagement, joy and confidence that come from giving your absolute best."
Shockingly, just fewer than 15 percent of the population are high performers.
