 Let's have a little chat about successful folks and a few of the things they do in common. First, we all know that success comes as a result of developing the right habits and consistently following through to accomplish one's goals. Now, not only do successful people create habits that push them towards the path of success, but they also develop morning routines that put them on the right track. I mean, the way you start your day determines the results you get at the end of the day. So, how about getting it right from the onset? Daniel Handler, an American writer and musician, said, Morning is an important time of the day because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have. Again, Al Elroyd, an American author and success coach, said, How you wake up each day and your morning routines are lack thereof dramatically affects your levels of success in every single area of your life. Focused, productive, successful mornings generate focused, productive, successful days which inevitably creates a successful life in the same way that unfocused, unproductive and mediocre mornings generate unfocused, unproductive and mediocre days and ultimately mediocre quality of life. By simply changing the way you wake up in the morning, you can transform any area of your life faster than you ever thought possible. You see, when you understand that your mornings are the most crucial time of your life, you'll spend it doing only the things that matter. So in this video, I'll share with you 10 morning routines of wildly successful entrepreneurs. If you are new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss out on other exciting videos like this. One, successful entrepreneurs start by waking up early. Miles Davis, an American jazz trumpeter, once said that, I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day, I find something creative to do with my life. As Davis said, your future starts in the morning. So when you wake up early enough, you buy yourself more time to plan a beautiful future. Highly successful people wake up as early as 5.30am, 4.30am, and even 4am. Doing this allows them to not only have more control in their early hours, but also have more opportunities to do the things that matter to them. Most importantly, overcoming the body's natural tendency to remain in bed in the early hours of the morning is one of the battles that will ensure that your willpower is to pick up the challenge of the day. So, if waking up as early as 5.30am is too early for you, you can begin by waking up 15 minutes earlier than your usual time and then increase it from time to time. However, to achieve this, you have to go to bed early enough at night. Two, successful entrepreneurs create a to-do list. Successful entrepreneurs are intentional about their day. They know what activities they'll spend their day doing so that they don't end up wasting the whole of the day or be unproductive. If you don't take a few minutes of your time to map out the direction of your day, how will you know if headed towards the right direction? Creating a to-do list that you stick to will help your day be more productive and less stressful. Three, successful entrepreneurs determine their one or two biggest priorities. Once you've successfully mapped out your plans for the day, determine what tasks are your most significant. You should start with them so that in situations where you are unable to finish the entire task for the day, you'd have still achieved a lot as far as your goals are concerned. Here's how John Braddock, an auto and professional coach, spends his day, according to him. I get up at 5.30 am. I drink 20 ounces of water, which jump starts my metabolism. Then I write a quick gratitude list of things I'm grateful for that morning. I set my intention for the day. Determining the one or two bigger things I must achieve to feel and positively move in the direction of my goals and have an awesome day. Four, successful entrepreneurs take time to meditate. Austin Cleon said, The biggest task in the morning is to try to keep my head space from being invaded by the outside world. Do you know that 90% of illness is as stress-related? Meditation, however, helps you stay relaxed. It enables you to focus your mind on the present instead of wandering in the future or in the past. It's a mental awareness exercise that highly successful people do to relieve them of stress. Five, successful entrepreneurs have a workout routine. Regular exercising can boost your mood as it increases the production of hormones like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins, which in turn make you feel happier and sleep better. Also, exercise has a positive impact on the appearance of your skin, weight gain, loss, cholesterol level, strength, and so many more. In summary, exercising improves your wellbeing. Successful entrepreneurs understand this, so they ensure that they stick to a workout routine every morning. Six, successful entrepreneurs ensure they start their day with a healthy breakfast. We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it kicks starts your metabolism. You see, it's not just important to have breakfast, but to also make it a healthy one. A healthy breakfast will give you the necessary energy and strength to start your day, which is why highly successful entrepreneurs do not neglect this essential meal of the day. Seven, successful entrepreneurs take time to be with their family. Barbara Bush, a one-time first lady of the United States, said, at the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, a parent. Also, according to Dieter F. Buchdorf, a German aviator in family relationships, love is really spelt, time. Starting the day prioritizing people over things and right perspective over inertia would take some effort, or pay you back. So whether during breakfast or any other morning routine, successful entrepreneurs ensure that they spend some part of their mornings with their family and loved ones. Eight, successful entrepreneurs stay updated. Many successful people like to keep up with what's going on around them and in the world at large. It helps them to know what impact it has in their industry or directly on their business. Nine, successful entrepreneurs learn something new. Mark Fisher, a British writer and critic once said, it lies in our human nature to learn something new every day. Nevertheless, successful person doesn't wait for it to happen. He wants to be one step ahead and he craves success like he craves air to breathe. Because of this need for growth, it will be best if you'd start your morning by feeding your brain with educational material. Successful entrepreneurs devote some time for self-learning so that they can sharpen their skills and knowledge. When they do, they become valuable and create value for humanity in one way or the other. Ten, successful entrepreneurs do not forget their gratitude during all. Successful people never forget to stay grateful. Instead of complaining about the things that they do not have, they enumerate the blessings they are grateful for, making them more open to optimism and inspiration and improve their outlook in life.
