And Gain Long-Term Business Success! Unlock Your ‘High Performance Habits’

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.

5. Develop influence.

6. Demonstrate courage.

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.”

1. Seek clarity.

2. Generate energy.

3. Raise necessity.

4. Increase productivity.

FALSELY ACCUSED AND CONDEMNED THE SALEM TOMATO TRIALS

Surely, you've heard about the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, but did you hear how the people of Salem, New Jersey, put tomatoes on trial in the 1800s? At that time, researchers discovered the stems and leaves of tomatoes contained toxins, and a small amount exists in a much lower concentration in the fruit. In 1820, wary of the poisonous red fruit, tomatoes were put on trial in the town courthouse, made to answer for their toxicity. However, Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson, a farmer and historian, refused to believe the tomato was harmful and ate them on a regular basis. He even hosted tomato competitions, granting a prize to the person who could grow the largest tomatoes. People thought he was simply mad. To prove his point and redeem his reputation, Johnson frantically ate a basket of tomatoes at the Salem tomato trials. Then, he stood before everyone, as healthy and hoping to coax the crowd into dropping the “charges” against the fruit. When he remained healthy months later, tomatoes were no longer regarded as evil and poisonous.
