\u00a0I love the quote by Aristotle, \u201cWe are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.\u201d\u00a0 Therefore, if we want to achieve excellence we must make it a habit.<\/em>\u00a0 A habit is doing without thinking.<\/p>\n \u00a0Here are 5 steps to take what you implement and make it a habit!<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Cleary define the process\/system\/protocol to the entire team<\/p>\n 2. Establish as SOP (Standard Operating Procedures)<\/p>\n 3. Be consistent & realistic with routines & repetitions<\/p>\n 4. A habit forms after 18 to 254 days of repeated practice (average is 66 days)<\/p>\n 5. Schedule regular check-ups<\/p>\n Dr. John Grohol wrote in an article\u00a0that when researchers examined different habits, many of the participants showed a curved relationship between implementation practice and automaticity (automatic processing of information).\u00a0 On average a plateau in automaticity was reached after 66 days. In other words it had become as much of a habit as it was ever going to become.\u00a0 Although the average was 66 days, there was marked variation in how long habits took to form, anywhere from 18 days up to 254 days depending on the difficulty of the habits examined in this study.<\/p>\n So 66 days later, a simple habit might be in place and on automatic pilot. But as the research shows, it could as long as 8 1\/2 months for more complicated habits to take hold.\u00a0 This is why it is so important to continue to remind and reinforce new SOP\u2019s at your Daily Huddles and Monthly Team Meetings and Quarterly Workshops!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You have just heard the most fantastic speaker or practice management coach\u00a0share a step-by-step process for 5 systems that will make your business thrive!\u00a0 Instant success right?\u00a0 Wrong!\u00a0\u00a0The problem is we\u00a0learn what we need to do to implement our goals but we don’t learn what we need to do to sustain what we implemented.\u00a0 All […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4,5,10,17,18,19,22,24,25,27,30,36,37,38,39,40,43,46,49,50,51,53,1,55],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
