5 Things To Do Every Day For Success

Hehe...

that's a great, motivating post - but here's my view on it:

1. I'm not a morning kind of guy. I don't get anything done in the morning. So I rather sleep long - and work at night.

2. I know more and more people who don't follow the news at all. Why? Because it's full of negative crap. Negative thoughts rarely get you in a positive mood to do positive things.

3. Agreed with that, but that's something you should do anyway.

4. ... usually when I do this I quickly find out within the first 15 minutes WHY I didn't get in touch for ages

5. 100% Agreed

Cheers,
Rob

I really like number two. I watch out for news in my industry all the time. that's where i get my best ideas. Great tips!

Thanks for the list of what works for you.
I agree with it, but I tend to avoid the news as it is all negative.

These are wonderful tips which you share with us. First tips i really want to implement as i wake up very late and rush toward office and always get late to office. Surly i will start to implementing your tip.

Already implementing you second tip of reading headlines and start learning about the opportunities. After taking tea i get some relaxation.

Again these are wonderful tips... cheers...

Thank you for the post! I am going to start tomorrow morning!

Great motivational post mate,

Personally, I like to go for a run every morning. I feel great afterwards, and you know what they say, healthy body, healthy mind.

For tip 2, I'm one of those people RobKonrad was talking about, except I just don't watch the news, I don't watch t.v. full stop.

Fantastic stuff ... I love the title man . 5 things to do every day for success. Reminds me of the journal i was keeping when i first began . could hardly say 3 things i did well . i love the tips especially 3,4 and 5 . Great stuff

Here 's my 5 as well

1. Exercise first thing in the morning for at least 10 minutes

2. 2 hours of product creation

3. 1 hour of contacting and building relationship with successful marketers

4. 2 hours of working on sales conversion process

5. Make someone's day and show some one real love

thank for sharing

I get up early but I know others who prefer to work late in the night. Every night before I go to bed, I make a list of 5 things I will accomplish the next day. Sometimes I don't complete all the tasks, but I have a list in front of me when I start the day.

Before I started doing my list, I was going in a dozen or more different directions. No focus.

Looking at a long list of goals is overwhelming. Breaking it down into doable tasks each day will help you accomplish your goals.

Great man!

Looks good

I should add these to my "everyday todos"

Great List I would like to add one more thing to it. after I do my 5 daily routines I spend time everyday to learning a new skill sometimes it can be the same skill until I've mastered it.

I don't agree with no 2.

Here is why...

1. Most of what's covered in the news is negative depressing and can't help much in success. Earthquakes, murders, rapes economic turmoil is what is mostly in the news. To me this cannot add a single thing in my life. By the way, did you know Bill Gates does watch TV?

2. News and headlines is for the average person who believes in luck. And success minded person is of above average mind.

3. Whatever you focus on expands, If you focus on bad headlines those are the ones that will likely grow in your mind.

Do you agree?

I really like the "send a note" one. Thanking people is always a good thing to do.

I also think that excercising first thing really helps get my creativity going right from the start.

Thanks!
Mary

Nicely done InHwan Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Great wisdom

Nice list here buddy! So happy to see that it works for you. Will also try it and hope I can have good results with it as well.

Have to agree with four out of the five, but then I have terrible handwriting...

Great post James! Thanks for the tips! I'll try doing them.

I have to agree

I do 1. and 2. but I need to work more consistently on the others. Thanks for the post.

I agree with the list except for the news. I try to avoid that where possible. It's all negative.

In it's place I would add, send a thank you card to your customers. Almost no one does that and it goes over real well.

So happy to see it works for you. Will also try to exercise it, hope to see good results from it as well.

Wow thanks for sharing. I really liked a few of those. I think the one that stuck out most for me was the thank you note. Thanks for the ideas!

Cool thread.

What I'm working towards,

1) Wake up early

2) Exercise for 15 minutes

3) shower and then meditation for 10 minutes

4) leave my home within 55 minutes after I wake up to my workplace.
( I run a small business which is near to my home )

5) This is ambitious for me - Make two days out of one. ( Day 1a - 8 a.m to 2:00 p.m - Lunch and small nap @ home - Day 1b: 3:30 to 9:00 )

Great post James,
i never think about #4 and #5. Now m thinking to implement them as i have a very good handwriting.
thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tips. Any advice on how to get up earlier? When i hear that alarm clock my auto response is snooze even when i'd rather get up.

Nice list, will surely try this one.

I would add some form of meditation/relaxation to your list.

I have some really soothing music I love to just dim the lights to and listen to for a while - it really helps clear the mind and helps you be more creative with your ideas.

Great list, though #2 is a double-edged sword: it can be easy to get sucked in to the news and lose track of time! It's important to skim the headlines, get the information you need and get out.

I would add this great tip: do the one thing you most dread doing in your day first. Whether that's calling a new business prospect, handling a customer service complaint, or anything else that seems daunting. Once you handle this task, the rest of the day is a downhill run.

totally agree to those list....!!!!

totally agree to those list....!!!!

Every successful person has a secret behind it and you have revealed the most secrets of every successful person.

great post that's actually really motivating me to keep going. i think with anything in life, if you push yourself to do better for example like you said waking up 30 minutes earlier you can get somewhere. plus making yourself a list of things you regularly do is a big part of being successful.

6. Smile
when you wake up then smile then you will can through out the day with positive mental attitude

Nice lists - Personally I don't care too much for the news since it is so negative. I think the morning is great for getting organized and mentally set for the day. It is also a great time to write a blog or catch up on e-mails before the phone starts ringing. It is vital to have a daily method of operation so you have a plan to achieve your goals. Without this, your day gets away from you and the results aren't achieved.

Nice list, in my opinion repetition is KEY to internalize things!

I envy people, who're able to get up before 8am and be fine, hell, even ready for some exercising or working..

With the rest I however must agree, although my handwriting is awful, which brings me down to 3 out of 5.

Talking to an old friend of mine or even a current ones, suggesting an opportunity in my growing business? Those, whom I talked to already, think, I'm crazy, I'd not risk to alienate older friends, I know their nature and opinion on IM. Damn, 2 out of 5.

no. 2, yes I do that plus 1+ hour daily here on WF for starter, keeping relation with old business partners, sure thing.

Yet I think, I've not passed your quiz. .)

But let's not lose hope..

thanks for sharing

Out of those five steps, I think the first one is really important. If I don't wake up early, I would feel guilty of myself for wasting some hours that I have. I totally agree with this one, just keep focused and always be motivated.

I agree with you except because I tend to avoid negative news, I catch the headlines on the internet. Although not as thorough, I keep up with the trends this way, without the news breaking my heart each morning since I am very impressionable and have an active imagination!

I do like to rise early - can't sleep in when I know there is much to be accomplished when you realize we all have a destiny to fulfil. I believe God put us here for a reason, more than to make a living, but to make a difference and leave the world a better place for having lived here.

Touching base with one person - awesome stuff! I believe we are eternal creatures in a temporary body and we all need a personal touch from someone at least once a day.

All good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

The major issue:

1) I don't watch TV - News apparently doesn't makes us feel successful or motivated, it's loaded with full of junks and negative things..

2) I like your idea of writing a hand-writing note to someone we love.. going to start doing it soon

may God bless you,

One thing that I learned a long time ago, different people have different "steps" that they do that have helped them be a "success".

I learned that many things that helped some people, did not help me and vice versa.

Now, I just tell people what I do and make sure they come up with what works for them.

If one "methodology" works for you, good, if not, move on.

Also, different people will define "success" differently.

I thought I had reached "success" when I could "do what I wanted, when I wanted, with whom I wanted, for as long as I wanted, where I wanted and had the financial ability to support it with ease."

Some one else might define success as making a certain amount of money, being healthy, having a loving relationship, being debt free, etc. etc. etc.

Here is what I do and did when I worked long hours in my offline businesses.

I sleep in. I get up when my body naturally wants to.

I spend 30 minutes before I even get out of bed being grateful for everything I already have (even when I had very little) and visualizing what I wanted for the day.

Then, I have breakfast.

I NEVER watch the news or read any newspapers or look at any headlines about News online. I gave that up years ago after several different international success coaches recommended it.

I read something positive and self improvement 15- 30 minutes or more every day.

I watch something positive and self improvement 15 - 30 minutes or more every day.

I stopped associating with anyone who put down my dreams, said I couldn't do it, or were just negative in their outlook on life.

I eat whatever I want mostly it is really high quality and not junk but I don't limit it in any way. I just eat what I consider "real food" and not processed products, for the most part but I'm not a zealot about anything.

I look for the good in any situation.

I go to sleep when I am sleepy not at a set time and I spend 30 minutes at the end of the day, just before I fall asleep, being grateful for the day and visualizing how I want the next day to be.

If any of that helps anyone, that is great. If not, search for until you find what works for you.

:-)

Thanks for the usefull tips but in my view waking up early suits to some persons only.I prefer to sleep up to 7-8 hours,then we will be more active and we can do more work with more alert.

Really great and motivating tips, InHwan Park. I am totally in for the 3,4, and 5. I say that's how people really connect. In this age of social frenzy, these things add a warm human touch. And that makes a lot of difference. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for writing about your list. I am intrigued by the hand-written note idea. There may be some creative ways to get a very positive impact with those.

Ask me about Power Partnering

great list

Tanks very much nice and helpful tips.:p
And the 1st tip i think it's the most underrated rule of all, because people are thinking ''i will wake up a little bit later today, but i will still do the work or work till night.'' yeah but don't forget that there is a person that is waking up 1-2 hours earlier than you, and he's working so one day he can take your place and beat you. Always have that in mind

This one is VERY POWERFUL and creates BIG relationship, if not friendship. Takes a lot of time tho but it's worth it!

Thanks for nice advices!

I'd probably say...

1. Not necessarily good to wake up early - one of my favourite parts of working for myself and online is I can wake up when my body is ready to wake up!

2. It's both good and bad to stay ahead of news. If you are going to do it I'd recommend picking your news sources carefully so that you are not given biased views and also picking your media. TV for example if a very slow way to consume news and you'll not necessarily hear about the areas that interest you.

The other three suggestions are fantastic!

Very good, I would add that you should be persitent in that what you do! Every day, keep going as much as possible!!!

Thank you for this great information. There is so much to learn. But am glad nice people like you are posting useful content such as this.

thanks for sharing, i like to add mine:

Read a motivational book for at least hour a day.
Do some research in your field for another hour.
Everyday do something to move toward your goal

Positive attitude.
Critical thinking.
Research.
Decision making.
Relaxation.
Thanks
