7 HAbits of Highly Effective People — 

Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a great book. It is celebrating a 15th edition reprint and the principles outlined within the book are still as relevant today as they were 15 years ago. Covey's professional background is in business. He is often sought as a lecturer and teacher on the principles that govern good managers.

In basically every job that I have held since I was 15 I have moved up to some level of management. The reality is that for various reasons I did not stay with those companies but I have always taken something from the experience that makes me who I am today. I learned from this book that in business work imitates life quite a bit. You can not be effective managing others if your household isn't managed well.

This book provides a guide to balance work and home so that they both are successful. To be honest the ideas in this book aren't "rocket science" but the tenacity and drive to get your vision accomplished seperates the men from the boys. It's a good read for those not even considering a career in business.

I can totally agree with that. I'm working 2 jobs now and on a 3 year plan to get comfortable enough so that I can achieve some things on my wish list!

I totally agree. It is one of the best books I've ever read. Maybe I just need to practice the habits!
