If you’re like most leaders, there is something about your life you want to change, but you’re having a difficult time changing it. Every year you may experience the same frustrating cycle of trying to change but not actually changing.

I believe you have the power to change your habits and your life for good. That’s why I wrote The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most.

Thanks Pastor Craig, I love all of these but more particular, I really liked hearing you say to plan my next day the night before. Owning and operating two businesses can be very controlling of my planned day which I have been doing the day of instead of day before. I can see this as an opportunity to get more accomplished on my list. I also liked what you said about starting every interaction with the other person in mind.

This is a great teaching! Sometimes I struggle with consistency and I am realizing this kind of teaching can add structure which can help create being consistent. I can make the hard right but sometimes I fall back on staying consistent with it. Thank you! This is good stuff, God stuff!
