Weekly Quote

One of my very favorite books is Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" I have found this book to be a hands on actionable guide to living a fulfilling life. One of the habits is "Be Proactive." Proactivity is about taking charge of our own lives, about acting rather than being acted upon by outside forces. This week's quote says it best:

"Taking initiative does not mean being pushy, obnoxious, or aggressive. It does mean recognizing our responsibility to make things happen."
Stephen R. Covey

Weekly quote

One of my favorite books is Dr. Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" This book is a practical guide to leading a more productive and fulfilling life. Covey's book is not a self help book full of platitudes and vague theories but a road map to becoming a better person. Here is a quote from Dr. Covey

"Taking initiative does not mean being pushy, obnoxious, or aggressive. It does mean recognizing our responsibility to make things happen."

A testimony to the power of this book is the fact that decades after it was first published, it still appears regularly on the business best seller list. I suggest you pick up a copy. It is a book that bears some study. I have read the Seven Habits many times and each time I get something new from it.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!
