Summary

James Clear is a writer, speaker and the bestselling author of one of my absolute favorite books, Atomic Habits. His work on decision-making, continuous improvement and personal development has been instrumental in my life, but it's his focus on habits that fires me up the most.

If you've read Creative Calling or listened to this show in the past, you've probably heard me describe the creative pyramid. On the bottom of that pyramid is mindset, and at the top are your goals. The thing that connects your mindset and your vision for what you want in life? That's your habits.

In this conversation James helps us focus on the power of habits to foster success, and more importantly, fulfillment.

If you are interested in these topics, James' 3-2-1 newsletter is a great way to get a weekly dose of wisdom to keep you on track and moving forward.

Enjoy!

0:50.6	If you remember, if you've got my book, Creative Calling, I drew a picture of a pyramid in there.
0:56.6	At the bottom of that pyramid was mindset, which you know I'm a huge advocate of, and I like to have a bunch of people on the show that focus on that.
1:03.5	And at the top of that pyramid is your goals.
1:06.8	And the thing that connects sort of your mindset and your ability to visualize what you want to be, become, or do in this world and the outcome, the goals that you have, right in between those two things.
