Send us a text

As F.M. Alexander says, “People don't decide their future. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their future.” Unfortunately, we do a poor job of living that out. So how do we do things differently for 2023 to make sure we’re achieving our goals?

In this episode, learn how habit stacking can work for you and some concrete examples that you can start applying today. The goal is always to get to your destination, but you can't just start driving and hope to wind up exactly where you need to be, you need a map, a gps, a plan. Similarly, getting to those goals requires systems, and one of those is what we call habit stacking.

There’s no such thing as the right time, so if that’s what you’re waiting for I implore you to stop. Is it going to be “one day…” or “Day One”. It’s never too late to become a better version of yourself so how about you start now?

For instance, as you get up and brush your teeth every single morning, what's a good habit that you need to include to stack on top of that? Maybe drink a glass of lemon water before your first cup of coffee. Or if you are taking supplements regularly, what can you stack next to move you closer to your goal? Where can you stack getting a little bit of a workout in? When stacking your habits, you're basically creating a roadmap and a better version of yourself.

We all get into bad habits, and leaders are not an exception. But as a leader, before you start leading anybody, you need to do a serious inventory of yourself. Recognize both your good and bad habits, stack on the good habits, and then do what you can to reverse the bad ones so y
