Today we're going to be talking about the nine things that you need to start doing in your life if you want to be more successful. Now when we talk about successful success, the word success is a relative term. You know, when I say success to some people it could mean that you are worth $10 million. Success to some people could mean that you're an incredible parent. Success to another person could mean that you have a job that you make, you know, a good amount of money but you able to travel more than an average person because that's what you really want to do. But really what it comes down to is these nine different steps are going to help you be more successful. Kind of get yourself together, get yourself back in line and do you have to do every single One of them? No. Is it required? No. Could you do none of these things and still create the life that you want to? Sure. But if you do these things things, it will make you more likely to get the life that you want. But then also at the same time it also make it easier. So shall we dive in? Let's do it. Number one, they wake up early. Not every single successful person wakes up early, but I would say 85, 90% wake up earlier than they need to. And the reason why is because they work on themselves before they go out and they give themselves to other people or their business and their children. You know, if you look at people like Richard Branson, he wakes up at 5:30 in the morning. Tim Cook, who runs Apple 4:30 in the morning. Howard Schultz who runs, was the founder and CEO of Starbucks 4:30 in the morning. Really what it comes down to, and I think the overall attitude behind it that's important is they wake up proactively and not reactively and they decide, you know what, I'm going to wake up earlier so that I can get some time to myself, maybe get a work at it, maybe do some reading, whatever it is they want to do. You know, if you have an hour to kill watching TV before bed, just take that hour, go to bed earlier, and then wake up an hour earlier. So you go to bed earlier, you wake up earlier. The day is the same length. It's just if you're sleeping for six hours, or if you're sleeping for seven hours, you're sleeping for nine hours. Whatever it is, just shift the time that you go to bed. You know, for me, I have less energy at night. Some people have more energy at night. So what is the right situation to, to create a environment where you can wake up earlier? You and your body are different than me and my body and everyone else's. But if it's something that you want to do, it is 100% possible. So ask yourself, do you wake up early enough for you time. That's the thing to think about. The second thing that I found with the most successful people is they read almost every single day. It's really interesting. There was a study that was done like 10 years ago that found out that the average successful CEO reads about 60 books per year, which is more than one book per week. But 80% of the people in the United States households in the United States, 80% didn't even buy a book. So you could either not read. And you're probably going to be more in the category of a normal average person. Or you could read like crazy and start getting yourself more into the category of people who are more successful. If the average CEO reads more than a book per week on average, maybe you should just as Tony Robbins says, success leaves clues. Maybe you should just follow the tips to success. There's also been found that reading every single day lowers your stress. It fends off neurodegenerative diseases like dementia. So if you want a healthier brain and you also want to be more successful, why don't you just take 15, 20 minutes a day, build it into your schedule, probably build it into the extra hour that you're waking up earlier, and just see if you can read every single day. So ask yourself this question. How often are you actually reading? And is it often enough? Cool. That's number two. Number three, more often than not, they exercise consistently. And the reason why is because they understand that there is a mind body connection. They understand that the better your body is, the better that your body is functioning, the better that your mind is going to be functioning. And your mind is the most important part to create the life that you want. And so essentially, you're going to most likely have a better life. The body makes more energy when you work out more often. And so if you're sitting around, you're like, well, I don't have enough energy to work out. Your body adjusts. That's the beautiful thing is as you start working out more, your body makes adjustments and actually starts making more energy. And so what you can do is start building in the practice of exercising every single day. It doesn't have to be like hardcore intense weight training every single day, but can you get the actual movement that you need to every single day? It could be weightlifting, it could be stretching, it could be yoga, it could be going for a run, whatever it is that you want to do. Can you start to develop? Because it is true if you don't use it, you lose it. You might be 30 years old right now, but I guarantee you, if you don't start using it, you're going to get to 60 and you're going to have a lot of problems. And so can you start exercising more using that mind body connection so that your mind and your body function better throughout the day? So ask yourself how often you working out and how often do you want to work out? Okay, number four is they write down their goals. There was a study, and you've probably heard me say this many times, in the 70s where Harvard did a study with their graduating class, or people who were getting their MBA and they found out that 3% of their students wrote down their goals. They followed up with all of them. And that was about 10 years later, in the 80s. And they found out that those 3% that wrote down their goals were 10 times more financially successful than the other 97% combined. 3% were 10 times more successful than the other 97% combined. Why? Well, because it's real. When you take your goals and you don't just think of your goals, but you put them down on paper, it makes them real, it makes them physical, it makes them physically exist in this universe now. And when it's on paper, as I always say, it can be planned. And then you can get more clear on your goals. And as you get more clear on your goals, you can start planning how to actually create the goals that you need to and planning and putting a to do list around it. You can make a date of when you want to hit this goal by. And so they write down their goals. And I've said this multiple times on the podcast, one of the most successful people that I know, he's an incredible human. He was worth about $100 million by the time he was 40 years old. I see him all the time. And every single time that I see him, he always has his planner with him under his arm as if he's going to class, you know, and he's 50 years old now, and he always has his planner with him. And in the very back page of his planner is all of his goals. And he reviews his goals every single day. Right? And so it's just about how do you become more aware of taking your goals from your brain, putting them down, and then having an actual plan of reviewing them as well? So ask yourself, how often do you review your goals? How often do you write down your goals? And we will be right back. It takes a lot to grow your business.
