My experience of coaching and developing over 500 people has shown me that to some extent we all have a ‘lazy bone’ in our being, and even worse, we get a payoff for not doing certain things that we know, would really benefit us. Action: Identify your ‘lazy bone’ what are the excuses that you give yourself over and over again?
Whether it is being consistently late to work, not returning calls, not delivering on time, not going to the gym, not resisting that cream cake, not looking at the ‘bright side of life’ when you know you should…
Whatever it maybe, you need to identify it and nip it in the bud. Think about the ‘pay offs’ that you get from carrying on this bad habit. It may not be such a positive thing and over time what you are doing is eroding your own self worth and integrity. If you are not able to feel great about yourself, how will you expect others to feel great about you?
