UNLOCK YOUR ‘HIGH PERFORMANCE HABITS’ AND GAIN LONG-TERM BUSINESS SUCCESS!

Did “Atomic Habits” by James Clear change your life in 2018? Was “Tiny Habits” by BJ Fogg one of your top books of 2019? If you’ve read those two bestsellers, you’re a step ahead of most entrepreneurs. But you might still be sleeping on one of the original books on the power of habits, which is packed with gems you can’t find anywhere else: Brendon Burchard’s 2017 read “High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way.” Brendon Burchard is a legend in the world of personal development coaching. Oprah.com called him “one of the most successful online trainers in history,” and more than 2 million people have taken his online courses. But with the help of your local library, you can start learning his secrets to success without paying a cent. In “High Performance Habits,” Burchard recommends six specific habits that will help you reach your personal and business goals. He calls this the HP6 model.

As you can see, these aren’t your basic healthy habits like “drink water” and “get eight hours of sleep”! Burchard calls the first three “personal habits” and the last three “social habits,” and in the book he uses real-life examples to explain each habit. He also offers daily exercises that will help you form them. It takes multiple keys to unlock each habit. For example, to demonstrate courage, Burchard says you must “share your truth and your ambitions” by telling someone about your goals every day. But that alone isn’t enough. To truly form the habit, you also need to reframe struggle and zero in on someone worth fighting for — whether that’s your team, your clients, or your children. “High Performance Habits” is a business book, but it’s also a personal development book. It will force you to dive deep into your strengths, weaknesses, and motivations to unlock your real high-performance potential. You can use it to fit more tasks into a day, increase your confidence, or become a better leader — whatever your business needs! Pick up a copy today to see why Andrew Burns of Medium calls this “the epitome of a book that needs more than one read.”

How Are Scars Assessed for Value? 4 Components Insurance Companies Look For

When you file a claim regarding a scar from an accident, you can be compensated for your pain and suffering. But how do insurance companies assess the value of your injury? Here are the four things insurance companies look at when determining how much to compensate you for your injury. 1. Location Where on your body the scar is located is an important factor. The more visible the scar, the greater the claim’s value will be to the insurance company. If your scar is in an area that is typically concealed, the value of the claim is likely to decrease. 2. Size The size of your scar also affects the value of your settlement. If you were to have a bigger scar, the value of your settlement would likely increase. But the shape also matters. The shape your scar heals is important because scars are

more likely to heal and fade quicker if it was a smooth cut. The scar is less likely to fade if it’s a bumpy and rigid cut. 3. Permanency Some scars aren’t considered permanent until they are at least a year old. Because of the size and shape, some scars can shrink and fade over time, whereas others do not. But just because the scar has faded or shrunk doesn’t mean there aren’t lasting effects. You could still experience pain even if the scar is no longer there. It’s suggested that you go to your doctor’s office or physical therapist to examine where you received your injury to see if you are left with any disability. This can add more value to your settlement even if the scar heals. 4. Your Occupation and Age For insurance companies, people who work in high-visibility occupations where you interact with others regularly have a higher settlement

value than lower-visibility jobs. Likewise, when you receive your scar, the younger you are has a higher settlement value than if you’re older. This is because younger people will need to live longer with their injuries and scars than older adults. If you or a loved one have found themselves in an accident and received an injury, allow your friends at Brooks and Crowley to help. We have experience in valuing claims for people who have suffered from scarring. Let us help you get the settlement you deserve.
