Description

Here in the first couple weeks of the year, everyone loves to talk about goals. But once a week or two passes, the reality of life kicks in and the idea of a nice goal is not enough to carry you through the messiness of life.

Having a goal is not enough to make that goal a reality. That is where habits come in, which is the subject of today's episode.

One of the most influential books of the second half of the 20th century was Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The premise of the book was that you must take personal responsibility for your success. I'm borrowing the concept of the "7 Habits" to share some key actions that every writer should implement into their lives.

1. Read books that help you achieve your goals.
2. Write every day.
3. Publish your work.
4. Market your work.
5. Help other writers.
6. Thank those who helped you.
7. Persist through the hard times.
