BRX Pro Tip: Improve Faster by Habit Stacking
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, from your perspective, can you really improve better, faster by habit stacking?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:13] Yeah. There’s a lot of books being written about habits and the benefits of developing good productive habits, and habit stacking falls within that as well. A simple thing that I do every day just for my own life, I take some supplements. And I was always forgetting to take the supplement, so what I did is I put the supplements near my coffee because I drink coffee every day. That happens every single day. So, I drink coffee, and while the coffee’s brewing, I take my vitamins. So, I’ve stacked the habit of taking supplements with the habit of drinking coffee.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:48] Another thing that I do in business, at the end of every show I produce, I explain what happens next with the content. And at that point I was like, “You know what? I’m not getting enough referrals of guests.” So, what I did is while I’m explaining what happens next is to remind them, “Hey, you know, we get our best guests from our existing guest, so if you know any other interesting guests we should be interviewing, please send it my way.” And that sentence just added to the thing that I was normally saying to them has resulted in more guests.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:20] So, it’s just one of those things where you find an activity that you think is beneficial and then just add it to something you’re already doing anyway. So, you’re stacking one habit on top of another and it just makes it easier to execute on this kind of relentless way.
