Well I'm not here to argue with you I was simply trying to provide a point of view you may or may not currently have. But I'll take your post as a question and not an argument.
Yes, I can back up that multiple good habits will reinforce one another and lead to success in whatever area you are pursuing. How many examples would you like? The fact that I read books that assist me in growth, work out, eat healthier, listen to CDs/seminars on success and growth while in my car, write my goals down....all HABITUALLY keep me driving in the same direction towards success. Waking up earlier than I did years ago to go work out keeps me energized throughout the day, eating healthier means less health problems and more energy to work on my business, reading books on success and business give me new ideas to fuel my business mind and keep my creativity flowing, listening to CDs in the car ensures that I am learning continuously which achieves the same thing as the books but gives a different medium. Written goals helps me stay focused on my ultimate goal in my ventures and allows me to refocus when I am shifting my attention throughout the day or week. ALL of these things have led to tremendous success and a growth rate in the business of 100% per year.
If you don't want to take my word for it, which I understand, read a few good books that study successful people throughout history. They all had habits that reinforced other habits that led to their success because they knew that success is based on their habits rather than luck. So don't trust my experience, trust hundreds of others who have achieved more than you and I.
Your habits have led you to where you are right now in your life, as you stated "not a millionaire" so your experience backs up what you are stating that you believe to be true. But if you're doing the same thing you've always done, you'll get the same thing you've always gotten. Maybe it's time to do a reality check against historical data rather than saying you disagree without proof.
As strawman as this point is I'll still address it like it's a valid point.
First: "doing the right things (continuously) to get the right results" I'm pretty sure that = habits!
Let's say you have great habits in business but ignore everything else, including taking a shower habitually, so you only do that when you feel it's needed. Well then that's wonderful you have such great habits, but when you interview a potential employee, or have a meeting, or meet with an investor you may have all your ducks in a row but the pure stink of your unwashed body could break the deal and if you go without a shower long enough, will surely have people creating ways to stay away from you. In building business we rely on other people so if you drive them away, what do you have left besides your principle of not taking a shower regularly?
Great! You'll be well versed in biology and assuming you're smart enough to be reading about something that supports your ultimate goal then it'll help you be a wild success!
Who says not to relax? Again with the strawman.
The problem lies in relaxation as the only HABIT a person has, which is true for many slow laners/side walkers. An exception to the rule usually doesn't hurt anything and literally no one besides you has implied otherwise.
My habit of eating healthy and working out ALLOWS me the freedom to have that pizza without it hurting my journey. Much like good success habits allow you the freedom to take a planned vacation without it destroying what you're working to create.
This forum is one of my relaxations
