 High Performance Habits (by: Brendon Burchard)
The Habits of High Performance:
  1. Clarity
  2. Energy
  3. Necessity
  4. Productivity
  5. Influence
  6. Courage
Favorite Quotes:
“High performance is not achieved by a specific kind of person, but rather by a specific set of practices.” -à How would I like to live?
“Adaptive service: exploring what needs fixing & growing into the person who can fix it.”  
 
 “High performers cultivate JOY by how they think, what they focus on, & how they engage in & reflect on their days. It’s a choice. They bend their will & behaviors to generate joy. This enlivens them but also serves others.” (p. 113) 

 “High performers cultivate JOY by how they think, what they focus on, & how they engage in & reflect on their days. It’s a choice. They bend their will & behaviors to generate joy. This enlivens them but also serves others.” (p. 113)

“{High performers} sense of duty or obligation to a higher vision, mission or calling propels them through the hardships of achievement.” 

 
General Notes:
  • Deliberate habits—“must be consciously chosen, willed into existence & continually revisited to strengthen your character & increase your odds of success.”
  • To reach higher levels of performance, consistently do the following:
    • 1) Seek clarity on who you want to be, how you interact with others, & what will bring you the greatest meaning. *What kind of person do I want to be while I’m doing this?*
    • 2) Seek/generate energy so you can maintain focus, effort & well-being.
    • 3)Raise the necessity by tapping into the reasons you absolutely must perform well.
    • 4)Increase productivity in your primary field of interest (literacy/author) -à PQO which is prolific quality output
    • 5) Develop an influence on those you’re surrounded by; a positive support network.
    • 6) Demonstrate courage by expressing your ideas & taking bold action.
  • CLARITY: achievers need to get clear about who they are & what they want at this stage of life.
    • You generate clarity: who someone is, what they want & how they get what they want.
  • PFI Primary Field of Interest (Writing/Blogging/Authoring)
    • 3 skills:
      • Peer feedback
      • Marketing
      • Consistent practice of… writing

  •  ENERGY: positive/enduring mental, physical & emotional vibrancy.
    • 3 practices to maintain energy:
      • Release tension, set intention
      • Bring the joy
      • Optimize health
  • NECESSITY: emotional drive that makes great performance a must instead of a preference.
    • Necessity inspires a higher sense of motivation than usual because personal identify is engaged, creating a sense of urgency to act.
  • PRODUCTIVITY: know your 5 moves; don’t spend years on what could be done in just months with better planning.
