20 HABITS THAT WILL GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS THIS YEAR

1. Don’t define success with a dollar amount, but in relation
to your happiness.

The habit of defining success with a dollar amount will lead
you to constantly chasing a higher price point. It’s a chase
that will never end, and a view of success that will never be
attained. Get in the habit of seeing your success and your
happiness in the same light.

2. Read before you write or work.
Reading a good book will get the creative juices flowing, the
brain learning, and your knowledge base growing. Try
reading for 30 minutes to start your day.

3. Wake up at the same time everyday.
Having a good sleep routine will help you have more energy
to do more work during the day.

4. Always finish your to do list.
Get in the habit of never leaving anything that you wanted
to finish at the beginning of the day, incomplete at the end.
If you simply do what you set out to do, it will be hard for
success to elude you.

5. Keep your to do list small and scaled.
Have 1 or 2 things that are important to finish, and make
sure you finish them first. The rest of your tasks should be
tended to only after your most important ones have been
completed.

6. Keep two journals; one for your planning, scheduling, and
work.
The other for your big ideas, thoughts, and goals. Writing
stuff down makes it real and tangible. A to do list, a goal, or
a dream, that isn’t written down isn’t yet real.

7. Measure everything.
Every goal you set needs to be measured. Every sales page
you create, needs to be measured. If you measure
everything you’ll have a blueprint for exactly what does
work, and what doesn’t.

8. Stick to 90-minute work sessions.
Few people actually work as much as they say they work.
Their time is usually made up of distractions. They
Facebook, Tweet, and surf the internet. Time your work
sessions. Keep a stopwatch. Focus for 90-minutes, take an
active break, then get back to the beautiful grind.

9. Take active breaks.
A work break should enhance your working experience. It
can’t – at all costs – take away from it. So do something
active that will get your blood pumping and your mind
working as effectively as it was when you first started
working in the wee hours of the morning.

10. Wake up early.
The list of successful people who wake up before the rest of
the world is far too long to list. This isn’t a coincidence.
Get up before 6 am, 7 days a week and get a head start on
your day and your dream.

11. Put your family first.
Success can’t exist without family – even if that “family” is
simply loved ones and friends. You need to be working for a
greater purpose than your own monitory gain if you’re going
to accomplish true success.

12. Work harder than your competition.
If you work harder than everyone else, success can’t hide
from you. You will find it. And you will enjoy it.

13. Use a board.
Use a big white board to keep your goals visible and close.

14. Share your dream.
Get in the habit of talking to others who have a similar
dream, even if the similarity is the enormity of your goals,
and the audaciousness of your plans. Napoleon Hill coined
this relationship “a mastermind”, and it’s one of the most
important factors in your eventual success.

15. Only surround yourself with successful people.
That is, don’t have “suckers” in your midst – people who
will tear you away from your work, and destroy your dream.
If you have friends that do this, stop hanging out with them.
Are they worth you living a mediocre life when greatness
can be in your future?

16. Keep a healthy body.
Without a healthy body it becomes evermore difficult to
maintain a healthy mind.

17. Spend your money only on things that will propel your
dream.
Cars, “things”, are only good for boosting your image in an
effort to impress people who you really don’t want to
impress. Spend money, instead, on your own development
and your business to fuel your growth.

18. Make a sacrifice.
Get in the habit of sacrificing things that you may like in
your life, for things that will help you become a success.
The road to greatness isn’t one of excess spending and
easy living. Hustle. Focus. Sacrifice. Succeed.

19. Review your journals every month.
A journal can bring you clarity when you write in it, but it’s
far more powerful when you get in the habit of reviewing it.

20. Write down 3 things you’re thankful for every day.
This will help keep you motivated.

Committed to your success
