Cameron Herold Interview – New Book, The Second In Command
2/13/2023
“The COO or the second in command tends to be strong with people issues. They're strong at getting collaboration, strong at getting consensus, strong in planning, and strong in seeing the moving parts. They understand the functional areas well. Yet, they aren't strong enough to be an expert in any particular domain.”

Motivation isn't what you need.
2/6/2023
“Once she arrived at her ideal destination – her goal – she realized it wasn’t what she wanted after all.”
A young lady recently confessed that she felt “almost lost” and lacked motivation.
Ironically, she felt that way after reaching an important goal.
It turns out, she lacked motivation for two reasons.
First, the goal’s reality didn’t match expectations.
Second, she was struggling to identify what she wanted to pursue next.
She found it difficult to get clear on her next ideal...

28 Days!
2/2/2023
“A key idea behind habit tracking is to use the week's rhythm. Thus, 28 days, not 30 days, ought to be the tracking period for each habit.”
There are a handful of authors and behavior change "experts" offering various ideas about habit development.
Unfortunately, many are misleading. One such idea is that habit tracking is optional when it comes to habit development.
While it’s true that people develop habits without tracking them, those habits tend to be negative.

Aloneness
1/26/2023
“You are born alone, and you will die alone.”This week we investigate aloneness.
Aloneness is different from loneliness.
In the early ’90s, while backpacking across Europe, I was reading Stephen Batchelor’s Alone with Others, an existential approach to Buddhism.
In it, the following ideas are explored:”I was alone at birth; I must die alone; and, in a sense, I amalways alone, for the gulf separating me from others cannever satisfactorily be bridged.”
It's either a frightening or...

Energy Flows
1/25/2023
"Energy flows where attention goes."
This week we revisit a goal achievement first principle: EVERYTHING IS ENERGY.
Suppose everything is energy (and it is). That means you are energy, and your goal will require energy.
Interestingly, habits are the most efficient use of behavior energy and this is why The Habit Factor process of habit alignment is so effective.
There are two key elements that impact one's behaviors the most over a long period of time; their environment and thinking,...

This week we investigate aloneness. Aloneness is different from loneliness.
MG discusses a book he read in the early '90s while backpacking across Europe, Stephen Batchelor's, Alone with Others, an existential approach to Buddhism.
After thirty-plus years, MG challenges that statement by adding a twist.
While we are born alone, it is with and in spirit.
When we die, it is the spirit that leaves our bodies.
Thus, we are not entirely...

Goals are Not Optional!
12/26/2022
"Goals are not optional!"
Drifting – living an aimless life – might be fun for a week, a month, maybe even a year. However, drifting for too long is dangerous.
Having a purpose – a big, vital goal – to pursue is essential to a fulfilling life.
The fact is almost everyone already has goals. Unfortunately, as Tony Robbins likes to say, "they're mostly impotent."
Weak goals like "make it to the end of the month" or, "get to happy hour after work" won't keep you inspired.
It also helps...

It's not about the Marathon!
12/19/2022
"You don't need to eat a piece of cake after you run 5 miles."
Studies on habit development support the idea that self-efficacy – the ability to produce the desired result – is rewarding.
By following P.A.R.R., (Plan, Act, Record & Reassess), The Habit Factor's method for habit development, users experience self-efficacy, often.
Of course, the opposite is true. If a user does not follow through on their habit tracking plan they will be unhappy. Hence, the method encourages users start...

Discipline is a Habit
12/12/2022
"Discipline is a habit. Nobody is born disciplined."
Too often, people say, "I'm just not disciplined enough."
The truth is that nobody is born disciplined.
Discipline is a habit that can and should be cultivated.
Following The Habit Factor's simplified method for habit development, P.A.R.R., anyone can improve their discipline more quickly.
A key aspect of P.A.R.R. is that it cultivates habitstrength.
Just by tracking your habits and following P.A.R.R., you will improve your...
