Atomic Habits
An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
Author: James Clear
James Clear’s Atomic Habits breaks down the science of creating and breaking habits in a way that is easy to digest and and more importantly, easy to implement.
Self discipline is a huge part of achieving any goal (and I would argue the most important part of being a successful business owner!) Struggling with this? Atomic Habits will show you why it’s not you that’s the problem, it’s your system. The easiest way to ensure that there is a consistent flow for me has been implementing habits that run on a loop in both my business and my personal life. Let the right habits guide you on autopilot so you can eliminate self-negotiations and decision making and finally tackle tasks with ease. James Clear’s provides a clear framework to improve just 1% every day to ultimately own your habits. This enforces those tiny improvements that compound to create incredible long term results. You’ll begin to see the process as much less daunting, more doable & more rewarding!
James Clear uses the science of how habits work along with the four laws of behavior change to eliminate intimidation and encourage success for creating atomic habits!
