Steven R Covey, another legend leaves our midst.
I never had the pleasure of taking one of Dr. Covey’s webinars or heard him speak in person, but definitely have enjoyed his influence on my life through “The Seven Habits of Effective People”.
I am sure my daughters will recall hearing that tape when we had a road trip and any sales person who ever worked for me will recall it from more than one of our sales meetings. I wonder if I can still find the cassette tape.
Here is one of his short videos on Goals and Priorities.
“To achieve goals you’ve never achieved before, you need only to start doing things you’ve never done before”.
Just a few statistics from his personal bio, if you didn’t already know:
