“I love the habit factor and use it every day. It has made a real difference in helping me to change my habits so I can achieve my goals. Well done in developing this app. Thanks for the latest update. Some really good developments.”
~Joy in Australia
Before we get into the latest release, I’d like to take a moment to reiterate what I think is the most under-appreciated and perhaps misunderstood factor in personal development; the Habit — Goal relationship.
The more people are exposed to The Habit Factor® and Habit Alignment Technology™, the more startling it becomes that so many personal development experts, coaches, authors, trainers, bloggers (no names) — even Wikipedia, has this concept (pardon my French) BASSAKWARDS… Read more…
Dear Friends,
Thank you! Nearly ten months after The Habit Factor®’s debut in iTunes we are experiencing momentum beyond our wildest dreams. As you know, with nearly 4,000 Productivity apps and so many one hit wonders- it makes The Habit Factor®’s enduring success extra special. But, what’s TRULY far more exciting are the RESULTS, stories and feedback! We really could never have predicted this response. We’re seeing (and hearing) about terrific experiences with the app, as well as magnificent RESULTS from users internationally! Please, keep the emails coming!
A little reflection is in order and a few updates for those who may be here for the first time… Read more…
As one reviewer put it “Wow, Equilibrium has been hard at work. Thanks!”

The fan mail for The Habit Factor® is incredible and it is amazing to see the user-base around the world growing so quickly! We continue to receive many great feature requests (see below). Please keep the reviews and feedback coming! Here are just a sampling of the reviews, email feedback
Martyn B. said, “I have had Habit Factor for over a week now and appreciate it’s simplicity… Well done with the update. Some good improvements… the app is much more useful now that it only shows the Habits for the day.”
Jim M. said, ” Also, I’d like to say great job on these apps. I use Habit factor to track specific daily habits. I update Virtues weekly the goals are more subjective. I added the Eat That Frog application for a brief list of really ugly to-dos.<- The bright green icon is a real benefit because I can’t avoid seeing the reminder.” – Jim Read more…
The early success of The Habit Factor® for iPhone has been extraordinary. The emails and comments from users keep coming. This comment just came in today; Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 10:40 AM from Steven L.
Thank you for creating this wonderful application. It gives me satisfaction to check off daily items that brings me closer to my goals. It is becoming an indispensable part of my life.
“An indispensable part of my life.” Wow! Fantastic! That does not suck.
Steven went on to make a feature request for the app re: a weekly overview.
So, the point of this post is to simply say THANK YOU and ask YOU to keep the emails and features requests coming. We are listening to all comments and reviews. (Side note: I wish Apple would incorporate a feature where developers/publishers could respond to user reviews within iTunes).
Anyhow, thanks once again and our developers ask you to please keep in mind this is still only just the beginning. This is only version 1.xx of the app. We just unveiled The Habit Factor® mid June. So, you can expect it will be your feedback that will help this best-selling app to mature and fuel our developers creativity.
Having said that, it makes sense now to tell your friends to score the app while its on sale as the new version/upgrade will be free for those who’ve already purchased the app.
Until next time,

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.
~Brian Tracy
The strength of a man’s virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.
~Blaise Pascal
EVERY GOAL is achieved through action. When actions become habits they are performed more easily helping us to achieve our goals more quickly. To put it another way — you will not achieve any great goal without first having established critical habits that are aligned with that goal.
Habit Alignment Technology™ is simply a reverse engineering process. Enabling people with big goals to FIRST identify relevant habits required to achieve a goal, then track those essential and RELATED habits for established focus periods within the larger goal period.
The bigger the goal the more likely it is to take months or years to achieve. The Habit Factor® allows you to track essential and most critical HABITS within smaller focus periods — ALL contained within the larger goal period. For instance, if your long term goal is “Write a Book” you then reverse engineer that goal by developing the KEY Habits required to achieve the goal. Habit #1 might be “Out of bed by 6:30am” Habit #2 might be “Write for 1 hr a day.” With Habit Alignment Technology™ you then work from the end and you determine within a one month focus period HOW MANY DAYS do I want to “be out of bed by 6:30?” That is the essence of Habit Alignment Technology™. The App forces you to ask those questions all in the context of your larger goal. Then, the app provides you the ability to track DAILY each related habit helping you to achieve BIG goals more quickly and easily! This is elaborated on in the book coming out later this year.
Sure, it sounds like a fancy name and buzzword —but it’s a proven, simple and powerful concept that continues to help a lot of people.
enjoy and thanks!
