Stephen Covey has launched a new community site, based around his "7 Habits of Highly Effective People"

From the Stephen Covey Website:

Stephen Covey has announced the official launch of stephencovey.com, a first-of-its-kind social networking and online learning community that gives individuals an opportunity to learn first-hand as he personally teaches them the principles of setting, tracking and achieving personal goals.

By recognizing and embracing the role that social networking communities now have in society, Covey has given individuals the ability to learn and implement his life changing 7 Habits principles. They can now participate in an uplifting and inspiring Web 2.0 setting that is comfortable, where they control the pace and where they can literally interact with other people around the world who are trying to achieve similar goals.

The site allows you to make friends, set goals and start your own groups. Current groups include:

Body Goal Groups
Heart Goal Groups
Mind Goal Groups
Spirit Goal Groups
Life passion groups
Occupation Groups
Geographical Groups
School Groups
Company Groups

And current goals include:

Getting up early and exercising
Closing the gap between work and family
Overcoming procrastination
Identifying your personal heroes
Loving a person you dislike or hate
Recovering from substance abuse
Improving communication

The site has over 50,000 members, is free to join and allows you to keep journals of progress, add "friends" (in a FaceBook type way) and view instructional videos made by Stephen Covey himself.

If you're a fan of the "7 Habits" then I'd highly recommend checking the new community site out.
