  2. Habit 1- Be Proactive • Take responsibility. • When a stimulus occurs, we have the ability to control our response. • Be cautious of complaining, comparing, and competing.

  3. Habit 2- Begin With the End in Mind • Create a personal mission statement. • This is a process that can be very powerful. • Vision of the future is greater than the past. • What is important to you?

  4. Habit 3- Put First Things First • “Keep the main thing, the main thing.” • Focus on relationships over schedules. • List your priorities, then organize them. • Place big rocks in the bucket first, then add in small rocks.

  5. Habit 4- Think Win-Win • Win-win is about mutual benefit. • If you notice win-lose is about to happen, seek first to understand. • Win-lose occurs when the emotional bank account has been violated. • Have clear expectations of the desired result.

  6. Habit 5- Seek First to Understand then to be Understood • Focus on the sequence, most people do the opposite. • Improve listening skills. • Picture yourself in their shoes. • Change your frame of mind*. * Not about efficiency, but about building relationships.

  7. Habit 6- Synergize • The whole is greater than the parts. • Think with the idea of win-win. • Talk through ideas*. * Can be taxing on people.

  8. Habit 7- Sharpen the Saw • Stop and refocus. • Renew yourself within the other six habits. • Establish traditions within your family. • Find an outlet to relax and rejuvenate: exercise, reading, etc.
