INTERVIEW: Night Lunch on new EP 'Measure Twice, Cut Once' by Zac Hoffman on Radio One 91FM Dunedin
Let's revisit a classic today...After 25 Million copies sold in 40 languages, this book has become an icon in the field of personal development and leadership. More importantly, Stephen R. Covey has become well know for the lessons, thoughts and habits that he taught the world for transformation as a leader and increasing your effectiveness in life. Today I want to do a high level review of the entire book for you in order to inspire you with ideas and potentially rekindle your interest in going back to this book for strategies to change your life. Quote I love… "People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them. the key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value." I think this is a premise of the entire book… Covey created this entire book on the premise that INNER success comes before OUTER success. He says “private victory” must precede “public victory”. It's basically PERSONAL Mastery first. He goes on to talk about how Habits are the building blocks of the change you want to create in your life. Real change is the result of slow development of character over time. Daily Habits of thinking and acting are what Greatness are built upon. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is not a get rich quick or a silver bullet to Greatness… …its about slow, deliberate change over time to create your Destiny. Quote for the book by Charles Reade summarized Covey's thoughts… “Sow a thought, and you reap an action; sow an action, and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.” Another important note about the book before we cover the 7 habits is the distinction that Covey draws between Effective vs Efficient progress. So many of us are caught up in “time management” when Efficiency is not the primary objective we should be chasing. He says… “Think about what is most important to you and see if it is the center around which your life revolves. Don't worry about efficiency. There is use being “efficient” if what you are doing lack's meaning or an essential good.” Bottom line…Effectiveness trumps Achievement all day long… So let's get into the Habits now… Habit #1 Be Proactive "Your life doesn't “happen”. Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.” Being proactive in life (this habit) is all about “Being responsible” for your life. The way we are responsible is by being proactive. Proactive is your ability to respond to situations (good and bad) in a way that accepts responsibility for choosing the direction and course you will follow… …the decisions you will make that affect how you respond to any situation. Proactive people take responsibility for their lives and actions. Proactive vs Reactive…what is the difference? Proactive people choose their behavior Proactive people take control of their own emotions Proactive people direct their intentions and actions toward what they want. Reactive people let others choose their behavior Reactive people believe others control their emotions by giving away their power Reactive people let other people direct them and tell them what to do Bottom line…Reactive people are affected by and react to their environment… …which is giving up responsibility for the outcomes they have in life. …they shift blame, have shifts in attitude and emotions, and don't take responsibility. Covey suggests that one of the best ways to become proactive as a person is to control and watch the quality of your LANGUAGE. …your language creates the quality of your life (he says) …learn to use phrases like “I can, I will, I prefer…not I can't, I have to, if only” He also drops one of the most important lessons of the book, I have used throughout my life. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” 2 Key points 1-you have a point that determines your power to choose response 2-most important thing you can “choose” is what you say (language) This habit is truly the core of the principles and habits in the book, so I have spent more time on it in general. But an additional thought I want to bring out is this… The problems, challenges and opportunities we face fall into 2 areas…Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. To become a Proactive Person…focus on your efforts within your circle of Influence…things you can do something about. To avoid becoming a Reactive Person, don't waste your time on things you can't influence…environment, weather, Covid, etc. Habit #2 Begin With the End in Mind “Begin with the end in mind is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.” This principle is much like the carpenters rule of Measure twice. Cut Once. You have to figure out what you want in life or you will end up with something that you may not want. So what do you want? Best way to do this is to Create your destiny through the exercises of developing a Personal Mission Statement, Goals and Milestones to guide you on your journey. This will allow you to Begin with the End in Mind and make Daily Decisions that align with your Purpose, Passion, and Destination you are seeking. Habit #3 Put First Things First Covey says, “Habit 1 says, “You're in charge. You're the creator.” Being proactive is about choice. Habit 2 is hthe first, or mental creation. Beginning with the End in Mind is about vision. Habit 3 (this one) is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together.” This habit is about setting priorities and executing daily on those priorities that will take you closer to your goals and dreams. Priorities fall into 4 quadrants… Important and urgent Important and not Urgent Urgent but not Important Not Urgent or Important The goal is to spend as much of your time in Q1 and Q2. Live in these quadrants. Avoid was much as possible Q4 (not urgent or important)…which many of us spend time in. Habit #4 Think Win/Win "Most people tend to think in terms of dichotomies. Strong or weak, hardball or softball, win or lose. But that kind of thinking is fundamentally flawed. It's based on power and position rather than on principle. Win/Win is based on the paradigm that there is plenty for everybody, that one person's success is not achieved at the expense of exclusion of the success of others.” This is a habit that is all about learning to come from a place of Abundance and not Scarcity. There is always a win/win in business, relationships and life if you are open to it. Habit #5 Seek to Understand, Then to be Understood This one is a tough one for those A type personalities like me… This habit speaks for itself but it really focuses on the ideas that we all need to develop Empathy and a sense of caring around what other people are communicating in our lives. When we seek first to Understand, then we are much more effective communicators and leaders. Habit #6 Synergize This habit is something that happens when all the other habits are being applied.. Synergy is created when people and teams are working together in a spirit of cooperation. Much like the power of the mastermind, synergy creates a result greater than the sum of its parts. 1 plus 1 equals 3. This generally happens when you are working (as a leader) in a way that helps create an openness for ideas, solutions, and input from others in your Circle of Influence. The key to this is being open to ideas, diversity, mental and emotional differences…etc. Getting people to “agree with you” is not the objective. Collaboration is the key to this habit. Habit #7 Sharpen the Saw One of the areas we (as drivers) tend to forget… Renewal of the four core areas of life: physical, spiritual, mental and social. Sharpening the saw is about regularly renewing and recharging these key areas of your life. Time to rejuvenate yourself and allow for growth and recovery. Physical: developing a send of well-being, health…the Body Spiritual: developing your sense of peace through meditation, inner reflections, etc…the Spirit Mental: developing your mind, learning and mastery of your skills…the Mind Social: developing your relationships and people in your life…the Social Sharpening the saw (in my opinion) is so critical because without Recovery and Core Development of Self, your ultimate potential will not be created. This book is definitely a classic and it deserves your time and attention to review when you have the chance. Covey does a great job of making the case for developing HABITS that will allow you to create lasting change in your life. He says that modern day personal development can bring awareness, but that lasting change only comes from developing these habit and developing your “character” from the inside out. I hope this is information that has brought you value. My goal with reviewing books (summaries) is to help save you time, while also building curiosity and awareness for great resources of knowledge and learning like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee chat with Shaun St-Amour who talks about the associated costs, the energy savings, consumer choice, and the importance of challenging the status quo as the industry looks to build resilient, healthy homes with a lighter footprint on the environment. ‘I really think that we should have an AirBNB passive house that we all could just go and experience because when you step into it and you close the door and it's quieter and there's even a difference in fresh air, you honestly see the difference as soon as you take that first step inside.' says Shaun St-Amour, Clay Construction. St-Amour is passionate about building to Passive House standards for the health and comfort of everyone who's occupying the home. ‘I would rather use the Passive House principles to get to net zero. Not only are you going to enjoy the benefits of a passive house, the comfort, the energy efficiency, the healthy home but you'll also have an opportunity to use materials that can create a 200 plus year old home because you're doing an envelope-first approach.'

Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee chat with special Guest Bryan Baeumler of HGTV fame, along with Graeme Huguet of My House Design Build Team to talk about the value of working with the pros. ‘I often tell a story of a basement I walked into, and the homeowner said, what can you do down here? And the answer is, I'll put a train station, indoor pool and a Starbucks in if you'd like. And they laugh and say, no, seriously, what can you do? And I say, what's your budget? And the answer used to always be, well, I'm not telling you, you'll spend it all. But you need to present how much money do you have in your pocket or available to you. I would say take 35% of that as a contingency...and work on 65% of your total available cash or credit or whatever you want to spend on the job. And let the professional come up with the plan to tell you what is possible within those plans, considering the cosmetics that you would like to include and go from there,' says Baeumler. Recognizing a TV show cannot share the full process of building or renovating a home in just 22 minutes, Baeumler openly discusses his approach to working with the professionals, with Huguet bringing a BC perspective to the conversation. ‘We have to start looking at our own homes, not from the cosmetic Instagram photo side, but we have to start looking at how do we build a safe, comfortable nest that's affordable and sustainable, that also adds real value and provides a passive income in the form of savings long-term. And we have to start prioritizing.' Bryan Baeumler, Baeumler Approved, HGTV.

You will find “Measure Twice, Cut Once” podcasts on iTunes, Spotify and Google podcasts. Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee chat with Joe Geluch looking at infill housing solutions featuring a Passivhaus+ duplex project with two lock-off suites, built on a single-family lot as a solution to addressing Vancouver's Missing Middle housing. ‘We had the opportunity to present this project at the International Passive House Conference in Germany last year. People were interested in it as a new housing typology addressing the missing middle problem in Vancouver. Currently there is an incentive with the City of Vancouver until 2025 for the FSR exemption if you're going for a certified passive house. This project got 18% extra floor area for doing a certified passive house duplex, which meant an additional 600 square feet total, essentially one extra bedroom per home.' Allison Holden-Pope of One Seed Architecture and Interiors. Packed with information and ideas on infill housing solutions to address the missing middle, this episode explores how building to higher standards on a single-family lot can benefit your family and community. ‘Passive homes used to be all about energy efficiency, and now there is a focus on embodied carbon because you've already set this base of a high-performance home. Let's do it using as sustainable materials. I think that that's how things are evolving. It's ultimately everybody's dream, that passive house doesn't even get mentioned anymore because it's code. That's just how we build. That's what we want to have happen.' Joe Geluch, Naikoon Contracting.

You will find “Measure Twice, Cut Once” podcasts on iTunes, Spotify and Google podcasts. Jake Fry talks with co-hosts Jennifer-Lee and Mike about the concept of attainable housing for the missing middle and building thriving modern-day communities. ‘Our experience reflects that of the 370+ small homes we've built, easily over 85% have been for multi-generational living, and I think that's the big drive,' says Fry. Land valuations, environmental impacts of today's building materials and systems, and our end goals all add up to a riveting conversation with Fry recommending we keep an open mind to solutions and focus on sophisticated conversations, versus complicated ones. ‘I would argue there's going to be lots of opportunities to reuse a building, renovate a building, and the greenest building is the building that's standing right now. Period. And when we look to recycle, reuse, reduce, reusing those buildings where we can and trying to keep them as intact as possible, there'll be opportunities for a house to have three suites in it and a coach house in the back, those are the things we have to be very vigorous about in our analysis of what is good.'

What is an iceberg home? Unassuming at first glance, iceberg homes are designed and built with the majority of living space underground. Father and son duo, John and Jeff Gunson, share their experiences and process of building homes with multiple underground floors. ‘The concept was created in London. The houses are too small for the value of what these people have paid for them, and you can't change the facade of a building and you can't raise the height. So, because of heritage restrictions they dug down into the ground and increased the size of the square footage of the house. In the City of Vancouver there is no reference in the bylaws to how many square feet you can add below grade.' John Gunson, Euro Canadian Contracting Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee find out that faced with limited land and soaring real estate prices, homeowners are digging deeper for solutions. ‘For the lower half of the house, that's underground, there is better thermal insulation and a more regulated temperature. It doesn't see high temperature differentials from hot to cold as the above grade would. Being underground though, heat from equipment generally creates an issue, therefore, you have to implement air conditioning to make the space more livable.'

Join host Jennifer-Lee of Measure Twice, Cut Once as she catches up with the Burdens who take their final walkthrough with Cara from Triple Dot Design, and Alex from Level One Construction. ‘We walked through with Alex and compiled a list of everything that we had noticed together, but then Level One had the great recommendation for us to live here for a week and live our normal lives and note things as they came up in our day-to-day lives that needed to be addressed. Little things, that you might not necessarily notice when you're just walking through with the builder.' Justin Burden, homeowner ‘Having a master list categorized by trade, with the builder and homeowner on the same page, is key to completing the job in two weeks from the deficiency walkthrough, as opposed to four or five months.'

Listeners will get to know the Burden family and hear about their decision and choices made to renovate their forever home. ‘So much of this is about relationships and communication. You're going to be dealing with people for five, six months, during the construction phase, and many months leading up to that. You have to have trust in people. A good rapport. We felt that right away with Cara and Alex. That really put us at ease.' Says Justin Burden, homeowner.

After 25 Million copies sold in 40 languages, this book has become an icon in the field of personal development and leadership. More importantly, Stephen R. Covey has become well know for the lessons, thoughts and habits that he taught the world for transformation as a leader and increasing your effectiveness in life. Today I want to do a high level review of the entire book for you in order to inspire you with ideas and potentially rekindle your interest in going back to this book for strategies to change your life. Quote I love… "People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them. the key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value." I think this is a premise of the entire book… Covey created this entire book on the premise that INNER success comes before OUTER success. He says “private victory” must precede “public victory”. It's basically PERSONAL Mastery first. He goes on to talk about how Habits are the building blocks of the change you want to create in your life. Real change is the result of slow development of character over time. Daily Habits of thinking and acting are what Greatness are built upon. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is not a get rich quick or a silver bullet to Greatness… …its about slow, deliberate change over time to create your Destiny. Quote for the book by Charles Reade summarized Covey's thoughts… “Sow a thought, and you reap an action; sow an action, and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.” Another important note about the book before we cover the 7 habits is the distinction that Covey draws between Effective vs Efficient progress. So many of us are caught up in “time management” when Efficiency is not the primary objective we should be chasing. He says… “Think about what is most important to you and see if it is the center around which your life revolves. Don't worry about efficiency. There is use being “efficient” if what you are doing lack's meaning or an essential good.” Bottom line…Effectiveness trumps Achievement all day long… So let's get into the Habits now… Habit #1 Be Proactive "Your life doesn't “happen”. Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.” Being proactive in life (this habit) is all about “Being responsible” for your life. The way we are responsible is by being proactive. Proactive is your ability to respond to situations (good and bad) in a way that accepts responsibility for choosing the direction and course you will follow… …the decisions you will make that affect how you respond to any situation. Proactive people take responsibility for their lives and actions. Proactive vs Reactive…what is the difference? Proactive people choose their behavior Proactive people take control of their own emotions Proactive people direct their intentions and actions toward what they want. Reactive people let others choose their behavior Reactive people believe others control their emotions by giving away their power Reactive people let other people direct them and tell them what to do Bottom line…Reactive people are affected by and react to their environment… …which is giving up responsibility for the outcomes they have in life. …they shift blame, have shifts in attitude and emotions, and don't take responsibility. Covey suggests that one of the best ways to become proactive as a person is to control and watch the quality of your LANGUAGE. …your language creates the quality of your life (he says) …learn to use phrases like “I can, I will, I prefer…not I can't, I have to, if only” He also drops one of the most important lessons of the book, I have used throughout my life. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” 2 Key points 1-you have a point that determines your power to choose response 2-most important thing you can “choose” is what you say (language) This habit is truly the core of the principles and habits in the book, so I have spent more time on it in general. But an additional thought I want to bring out is this… The problems, challenges and opportunities we face fall into 2 areas…Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. To become a Proactive Person…focus on your efforts within your circle of Influence…things you can do something about. To avoid becoming a Reactive Person, don't waste your time on things you can't influence…environment, weather, Covid, etc. Habit #2 Begin With the End in Mind “Begin with the end in mind is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.” This principle is much like the carpenters rule of Measure twice. Cut Once. You have to figure out what you want in life or you will end up with something that you may not want. So what do you want? Best way to do this is to Create your destiny through the exercises of developing a Personal Mission Statement, Goals and Milestones to guide you on your journey. This will allow you to Begin with the End in Mind and make Daily Decisions that align with your Purpose, Passion, and Destination you are seeking. Habit #3 Put First Things First Covey says, “Habit 1 says, “You're in charge. You're the creator.” Being proactive is about choice. Habit 2 is hthe first, or mental creation. Beginning with the End in Mind is about vision. Habit 3 (this one) is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together.” This habit is about setting priorities and executing daily on those priorities that will take you closer to your goals and dreams. Priorities fall into 4 quadrants… Important and urgent Important and not Urgent Urgent but not Important Not Urgent or Important The goal is to spend as much of your time in Q1 and Q2. Live in these quadrants. Avoid was much as possible Q4 (not urgent or important)…which many of us spend time in. Habit #4 Think Win/Win "Most people tend to think in terms of dichotomies. Strong or weak, hardball or softball, win or lose. But that kind of thinking is fundamentally flawed. It's based on power and position rather than on principle. Win/Win is based on the paradigm that there is plenty for everybody, that one person's success is not achieved at the expense of exclusion of the success of others.” This is a habit that is all about learning to come from a place of Abundance and not Scarcity. There is always a win/win in business, relationships and life if you are open to it. Habit #5 Seek to Understand, Then to be Understood This one is a tough one for those A type personalities like me… This habit speaks for itself but it really focuses on the ideas that we all need to develop Empathy and a sense of caring around what other people are communicating in our lives. When we seek first to Understand, then we are much more effective communicators and leaders. Habit #6 Synergize This habit is something that happens when all the other habits are being applied.. Synergy is created when people and teams are working together in a spirit of cooperation. Much like the power of the mastermind, synergy creates a result greater than the sum of its parts. 1 plus 1 equals 3. This generally happens when you are working (as a leader) in a way that helps create an openness for ideas, solutions, and input from others in your Circle of Influence. The key to this is being open to ideas, diversity, mental and emotional differences…etc. Getting people to “agree with you” is not the objective. Collaboration is the key to this habit. Habit #7 Sharpen the Saw One of the areas we (as drivers) tend to forget… Renewal of the four core areas of life: physical, spiritual, mental and social. Sharpening the saw is about regularly renewing and recharging these key areas of your life. Time to rejuvenate yourself and allow for growth and recovery. Physical: developing a send of well-being, health…the Body Spiritual: developing your sense of peace through meditation, inner reflections, etc…the Spirit Mental: developing your mind, learning and mastery of your skills…the Mind Social: developing your relationships and people in your life…the Social Sharpening the saw (in my opinion) is so critical because without Recovery and Core Development of Self, your ultimate potential will not be created. This book is definitely a classic and it deserves your time and attention to review when you have the chance. Covey does a great job of making the case for developing HABITS that will allow you to create lasting change in your life. He says that modern day personal development can bring awareness, but that lasting change only comes from developing these habit and developing your “character” from the inside out. I hope this is information that has brought you value. My goal with reviewing books (summaries) is to help save you time, while also building curiosity and awareness for great resources of knowledge and learning like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
