Morning Success Routines For Entrepreneurs. If you start your morning early, you just might be more successful! You don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn — unless that is your wont. But there are some things that I have found from reading and from running my own business that simply make people more successful.
Morning Success Routines For Entrepreneurs
- Wake up! Some entrepreneurs wake up at 5 am, others “sleep in” until 6 am, but they all wake up with a positive attitude. Waking up early is a habit you can cultivate. Many entreprenuers find that if they wake up early they are more productive. You could wake up early and exercise, or eat breakfast or read a bok. Waking up early means you need to stop hitting the snooze button and just get up. Make sure you go to bed early enough that you get between seven and nine hours of sleep so you can face the day.
- Stay off of your phone and email. Don’t get on your phone or check your email or get on social media first thing in the morning. Don’t let an email put you into a “reactive” mode. Start your day, then get onto your phone or on socila media. Turn your notifications off so you can undertake your morning routine without interruption.
- Eat breakfast. Your mother was right. Eating a healthy breakfast is the best way to start your day. Breakfast fuels your brain and your body for the day ahead.
- Before your feet even hit the floor, think about the successes you anticipate with the coming new day. A positive attitude upon waking will carry through the day.
- Take time each week to set your goals and priorities. This will keep you on track and focused. I suggest preparing your next day’s to do list before you leave the office so that when you get to work you aren’t faced with multiple decisions — you can sit down and get right to it.
Once you’re in the office, get down to work. Train your mind to equate your butt in the chair with focused attention to your business. Let me know how these routines work for you.
