info_outlineIn the previous episode, I shared my recent experiments with habit development techniques ... and why I'm getting away from traditional goal setting.
Today's show is the second part of this important discussion. I've brought in my colleague James Clear to delve deeper into the topic.
James has done extensive research in the area of habits. He's also transformed his business and his life as a result of implementing cutting-edge yet simple habit-building techniques.
In this interview, we discuss James' 5-step habit building system, including:
Why it works
How to implement these steps
What to do when you slip
And how to develop and maintain long-term momentum
This is fascinating information you can put into practice immediately. And if you're participating in my 30-day "mini habit" challenge, I bet it will help you stay on track and keep you motivated.
