 #1: Form Good Daily Habits.

Success isn’t an accident and rarely, if ever, an overnight success either. Successful people simply have better daily routines that they practice on a daily basis.

Are a majority of your daily routines good or bad?

Start by writing down on comment box your daily routines, both good and bad. For the bad habits find a way to replace them with a good habit. Learn to flip your bad habits to eventually becoming a strength.

#2: Set Goals Regularly.

Your goals should dictate each and every day! Set goals every day in the form of a to-do list and always accomplish the hardest tasks first. 

Monthly Goals

Aside from your daily goals, you should create monthly goals to see a bigger picture of what you are trying to accomplish. These goals can be work, health, or family related. 

Long-Term Goals

Your long-term goals will be the “30,00-foot view” of what you are trying to do for the next 1-5 years. Think of them as your guiding vision to crush your goals each and every day.

Long-term goals will be ones like buying a home, funding your children’s education, or starting a business by a specific age. To give yourself the best chance of achieving your goals start these habits. 

#3: Engage in Self Improvement Each & Every Day

Successful people are always reading, learning, and focusing on investing in themselves. Self-improvement is part of their daily routine. 

Warren Buffett is worth roughly $70,000,000,000 (yes, BILLION) and reads 600 to 800 pages a day. 

Start reading articles, blogs, or books that interest you or are related to the industry you work in. If you need any ideas start reading my favorite book recommendations ask me.

#4: Devote Part of Each Day Caring For Your Health.

What’s the point of getting rich if you don’t have your health?

Sadly, the majority of people focus on earning more money instead of focusing on their health. The goal isn’t to be the richest person in the cemetery, it’s to enjoy your wealth while you’re healthy. Successful people prioritize exercise and healthy eating in their life. 

Shoot for 30-60 minutes of exercise each and every day. Even if some days are just taking your dog for a long walk, every little bit helps.  

#5: Devote to Forming Lifelong Relationships.

Successful people understand that one of their rich habits needs to be building a healthy network of other successful individuals.  

You are average of the five people who associate with most. Choose your friends wisely.”

Surround yourself with winners to help motivate you and succeed faster! Find people who have like-minded goals that you have. If you see someone online that is doing what you want to be doing reach out to them. People LOVE helping people!

#6: Live Each Day in a State of Moderation

Successful people find a way to live each day in moderation. They will celebrate success to an extent. They find a way to keep their emotions in check consistently.

On the financial side, successful people live moderate lifestyles as well. The 20 million dollar home or million dollar Lamborghini isn’t their style. Sure, some people indulge but a common trait among self-made millionaires is a moderate lifestyle. 

#7: Accomplish Daily Tasks Each Day.

DO IT NOW!.

This will create a positive habit of not procrastinating and making sure you reach your daily, weekly and monthly goals. Once you create your daily goals make sure 80-90% of all goals are complete.

Life happens, if you can’t complete 100% of them all the time find time for them the next day.

#8: Engage in Rich Thinking Each and Every Day

Successful people are positive, constantly smiling, energetic and happy. Even if they have a bad day, they don’t’ let it consume their whole day.

Successful people are constantly congratulating themselves internally all the time. Start celebrating your wins in life ALL THE TIME. If you hit your number at work give yourself a high five, pat on the back or enjoy a good meal out. Whenever you reach a goal, small or large,celebrate your wins!

By celebrating your wins your body will release endorphins that make you feel good and want to do it more often. Winning breeds winning.

Find something you appreciate in life, focus on that and get going!

#9: Save at Least Ten Percent of Your Income

If you make a $100,000 a year and spend $100,000 per year your salary is worthless. Successful people ensure to save 10-30% of their income for their savings goals and retirement.

You have to pay yourself first then your bills. Not the other way around.

Earning money is important but saving money is equally important. Find ways to cut costs like extra channels on the cable bill, choose generic instead of brand name, and buy items in bulk.

Little things add up.

#10: Control Your Thoughts & Emotions

This routine is very similar to number six, living life in a state of moderation. But it’s worth noting again as successful people manage their emotions every single day. 

Practice laughing when something makes you angry, stay a good state of mind and stop letting the little things bother you. 

I promise you it’ll help your mood every single day.
