We asked Sharon Lechter, bestselling author and speaker, the question. Here is her 1Habit
About 1Habit
Created by Steven Samblis, 1 Habit™ is a video series of lite bites of inspiration built around the idea that "Motivation is what gets you started, Habit is what keeps you going."
With that in mind we ask the question... "If you could instantly instill in a child one habit, what would it be and why?"
The Why...
Successful people have habits. Things they do consistently every day of their lives. In this series we will meet the World's highest achievers and ask them... "If you can pick just one habit to instantly instill in a child, what would it be?"
The series will be seen on the Imagination TV network, in and out-of-home. Shortly after, we will publish 1 Habit™ a book built around the answers we have received.
The hope is, we will learn from people that came before us. We will learn what works and what is possible. In the process, we hope people will share their 1 Habit™ and find a new one to instill in themselves.
A building is built one brick at a time. Is it possible that greatness is built 1 Habit™ at a time?
