WAKE UP AND BE AWESOME 🤩

Do a little bit of research and you’ll find that most successful entrepreneurs pin their achievements on their disciplined morning routine. While everyone's routine may vary, there are some common habits and principles that successful entrepreneurs tend to follow in the morning.

Do I wish there was a better way? Yes. Is there? No. So you need to make a decision right now … do you want greater clarity, energy and prosperity? If the answer is yes, then your mornings need to change. You can do this, even if you’ve tried before. Stick with me …

"Either you run the day or the day runs you." ~ Jim Rohn

The one thing morning routines have in common is that they are routines.

My mornings start out the same way, Monday through Friday. I don’t stick to a routine because it’s fashionable in the entrepreneurial world, I do so because it produces results.

Consistency is the focus … deciding what you will do every time you wake up. The consistency itself becomes the practice. Your day is intentionally set up and the magic happens from there.

GOOD MORNING, BEAUTIFUL!

Here are my 5 morning habits that I believe will help you become healthier, happier and win the day! 😤

  1. Early Rising: I wake up naturally at 5 AM and take advantage of the calm and quiet by jotting down three (not 10) things I’d like to accomplish in my day and evaluate before bedtime. *If this is new to you, try waking up an hour earlier each day next week to create a quiet, focused environment for yourself.

  2. Exercise: I then run on the treadmill or trails to clear my mind. You don't have to run 3 miles each day or commit to a full gym session; even a short workout or a brisk walk can make a significant difference. I take mini-walks throughout my day to get/keep the blood flowing

  3. Minimize Distractions: Laundry, dishes, garbage, mail … yes, I see you. Working from home isn’t for the faint of heart. I’ve become relentless in minimizing distractions by turning off notifications, avoiding social media (for the most part), and focusing on essential tasks (laundry isn’t essential … until it is) before getting caught up in less important matters. *don’t get this flipped around and do a bunch of little, busy things while fearing the elephant in the room.

  4. Mindfulness/Gratitude: Starting the day with mindfulness, meditation, prayer can help reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and improve decision-making. Trust me, when my headspace isn’t clear, I make horrible decisions. I also jot down 3 things/people/circumstances that I’m grateful for to remind myself just how blessed I am.

  5. Networking: Being a solopreneur is tricky. I love owning my schedule and space, but it’s quiet … and lonely. To help my mind and heart, and to grow my business, I check in with at least 5 people before 9 AM just to have interaction, give encouragement or till the soil for future opportunities.

Remember, consistency is key to reaping the benefits of these habits. While it may be challenging to implement all of these at once, start by incorporating one or two into your morning routine and gradually build from there … and let me know how it’s going for you.

It’s YOUR life, it’s YOUR morning … so tailor the routine to your personal goals and needs, and be willing to adapt it as circumstances change, because they do. My wife is now retired and home each morning … I have to adjust next week! Over time, a well-crafted morning routine will contribute to your life and business success. I believe in you, sunshine! 🌞
