Habits of Success
Lead
Habits- sounds like a general term right? before knowing what habits require you may define it like this: Something that you do consistently and it reflects my choices. there is a somewhat accurate connotation with that definition, but Habits go much further. Habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge is the what to do factor, Skill is the how to do factor, and desire is the want to do factor. In order to make something a habit in our lives, these three things are required of us. As an infant, we were totally dependent on others. we nurtured off them and were directed by them. after several years we keep growing more and more independent mentally, physically, emotionally, and even financially. But what we should strive for is being interdependent. Interdependence is a way we can combine being dependent on people as well as being independent but create a balance so we do not rely on others too much or take too much responsibility for ourselves.

Habits are very important with success. When becoming successful, you have to be willing to have the desire to change something in business, or in your life. You have obtain knowledge to know what your next move is. And you have to develop the skill to know how to make your next move. Success in business revolves around your habits and choices, as well as success in living. Being reliant on people in business is risky. For example: if you rely o n one person to write a business plan and they fail to do it in the time you give them, you can easily be frustrated and possibly have that business plan handed in late. But being too independent can cause a severe amount of stress and could possibly lead to depression due to the fact that not everything you do can be perfect. Interdependence is key because it creates that balance where you can depend on your workers as well as have a goal for yourself to achieve.
