W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

Which of the 7 habits has the most meaning for you?

The first one that stood out to me was Habit 5 – Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In today’s world, especially with the opinionated internet, how different would it be if we all were seeking to understand each other first? I love that, because to me it is almost a sense of service and putting the other person first before myself, and to not be so selfish. I also think this applies to marriage as well! It is easy to think about what I need and the problems I have, and not think about what the other person needs first. Another habit I liked learning about was Habit 4 – win/win. I was drawn to this habit, because of its simplicity. You need to think about the other person, and be respectful and mature about decisions. I am having a hard time understanding Habit 6 – Synergy. Is it a way to be thoughtful to those around us and create a kind of harmony? I understand it has to do with trust. So if we don’t have trust, can you not have synergy? Is synergy where everyone gets along?

Why will the 7 habits help you fill your life with passion and purpose as you seek to achieve both a private and public victory?

I hope to constantly remember the 7 habits as I go on my entrepreneur journey, as well as my family life. Knowing the 7 habits and how they can help me be successful is priceless knowledge. Also, being able to look at my passions and what I want to accomplish in this life is an important step, and having the 7 habits knowledge will help guide me as I work with other people, as well as my family. From little things like being able to listen effectively and how to do that will help me be on my way of a successful and respectable business woman
