This business book is so much deeper than the 7 minutes I have allowed it here. I really just wanted to introduce you to the habits themselves in an attempt to send you away to read or reread this amazing, life changing book. From a personal and business perspective it has helped me immensely over my 15 years as a business coach and international speaker.

The main idea of his book is to develop your character to become more effective in life. Develop yourself and grow as a person. You’ll learn about 7 Habits that the world’s most effective people live by. These Habits are valid in all life and certainly many business situations. Basically, the book is about self-mastery and ultimately about mastery in dealing with others. Covey claims that in order to succeed in life you need to have a strong character you can rely on.

The seven habits are:-
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in Mind
3. Put first things first
4. Think win-win
5. Seek first to understand then to be understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the saw

Whether you are a business owner or not Stephen Coveys book is a fabulous source for personal development. It is highly recommended.
