ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT2IntroductionThis report will focus on analysing the habits provided by Stephen Covey in his book called “7 Habits: Becoming Highly Effective” and evaluate them for my personal and professional life. The reflective paper will include real-life examples from my life to determine the requirement of implementing seven habits provided by Covey. The report will evaluate the ability of seven habits to improve my entrepreneur skills and determine how theycan benefit me in my business.
ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT3How to Create HabitsPersonality and CharacterAs per Driggers (2012), personality and character are two distinct concepts; the primary difference is that personality defines as the traits and qualities that are present in a person since his/her birth. A character of an individual defines his/her morals and beliefs that describe how such person treat or behave with another individual or himself (Roback, 2013). Personality describes as outside features whereas a character defines a person’s inner beliefs. Convey (1988) argued that character ethic provided the primary traits that are essential for success, he provided that personality ethic can be beneficial many times, but its impact is secondary. A strong character is a prior requirement for integrating personality ethic (Jost & Jost, 2009).Paradigm ShiftParadigm defines the mental maps that are used by peoples to describe their world (Andrews, 2013). Covey defines paradigm shift as a change in approach or underlying assumptions of an individual that influenced his/her perception (John, Naumann & Soto, 2008). I experienced paradigm when I decided to step out of my comfort zone and started living independently. This helps me realise the pleasures of traveling alone and doing my own work. I was always afraid of living and traveling alone and feel like people only do that because they did not have a choice, but after experiencing it by myself, I have grown respect for people who travel or live alone. The process is definitely not easy by it provide necessary experience and knowledge to a person that is worth the discomfort. Now I believe that everyone should live and travel alone once in life to gain experience and improve their character. Habits Covey describes habits as a connection of desire, skill, and knowledge; it defines a routine of behaviour which is regularly repeated by an individual (Duhigg, 2012). The elements which are required to achieve and maintain a habit include being proactive, prioritising things, starting by thinking about the end, understand what is necessary to be understood, thinking win-win, sharpening the sword and synergizing (Covey, 1988). Betweennow and mid-November I would like to start being proactive by taking new initiatives and responding to newer challenges. P/PC BalanceEffectivenessCovey (2013) defines effectiveness of a person based on seven habits which include prioritising things, starting with finishing in mind, being proactive, synergizing, finding what is necessary to be understood, shaping the saw and thinking win-win. These habits ensure effectiveness of a person in both personal and professional life. I believe that definition provided by Covey match my perception as well; I believe that effectiveness means being able to perform required tasks without hustling or being anxious because it requires effective time management and necessary skills.Balance
