March memo from Derek Arden – Summary – 7 habits of highly effective people

March 3, 2010

Here are just some of the pages that I would recommend you look at first before going in and out of the book. Great book lots of power points

1 – How you think is everything.

2 – Decide on your true dreams and goals; Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.

3 – Take action; Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started now. Just do it.

4 – Never stop learning; Go back to school or read books. Get training or acquire skills.

5 – Be persistent and work hard; Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.

6 – Learn to analyze details; Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.

7 – Focus on your time and money; don’t let other people or things distract you.

8 – Don’t be afraid to innovate, be different; following the heard is a sure way to mediocrity.

9 – Deal and communicate with people effectively; No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate people.

10- Be honest and dependable. Take responsibility.
