Steven Covey and His Rocks

Steven Covey died last week at the age of 79 from a fall on his mountain bike.

We lost a great motivator and someone who understood the power and need to control the way we think and act. No victim thinking in his world, only ownership of your thoughts and actions.

His groundbreaking book "The 7 Habits of Successful People" laid out the way all the successful people he studied approached their life and business:

Habit 1: Be proactive

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

Habit 5: See First to Understand, then to convince

Habit 6: Synergize

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

The tool I use the most in my practice is this short video about Rocks and Pebbles - a classic on time management and how to increase your focus and productivity and really incorporate all of the above into habits that will last a lifetime. It's about 8 minutes that are more than worth the time.

Thanks Steven!

All the best,
