into your life you will not become automatically successful but if we look at successful people when we model what they do we have a higher chance of ourselves becoming successful like them so onto the first one the first one is that successful people in the morning they make a to-do list now to-do lists are really important because if you don't have a goal of what you're going to do that day you're going to go through the day pointless and aimlessly and you're not gonna get done things that you might actually accomplish if you were to do a to-do list now the important thing is on a to-do list they need to be actionable things so you can't be like I am going to work on a website see that's not that's not a good to-do list you need something like I'm going to implement a new page and write a thousand words of content or I'm going to mow the lawn by three o'clock and we'll talk about this in a little bit about how to set goals better on habits but tip number two is that when they wake up they do something to energize themselves so this could be anything from going for a run to get your heart rate up you could drink coffee if you want to do it in a less natural inner motivated way or you could also take something like a cold shower I mean if you get in there you need to turn the shower on boom it's gonna hit you you're gonna take a couple deep breaths your Bloods going to start flowing to all of your inner organs that is a great way to wake you up now tip number three is that they schedule their day so it's not only good enough to create a to-do list you also want to have a schedule of when you will complete certain things on the to-do list by so you might have to cut the lawn you might have to create a video and you might have to cook dinner now you can have all these three things on there and it'll feel great when you check each one of those off but what else is wonderful that successful people do that they turn into a habit is that they say I will cut the lawn by 10 in the morning I will create a YouTube by 1:00 in the afternoon and I will fix dinner by 6:00 tonight so that's tip number three tip number four is to wake up early now there's a lot of people who are really successful who sleep in until one o'clock in the afternoon but what I have noticed a lot of people who are just not successful but are extremely successful people like Sam Walton who built a huge business people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and people like Aaron from Alpha M one thing they do is they wake up early I mean early like some people wake up at 6:00 and that's early but if you get up at 5:00 that gives you another hour to beat them that gives you an extra hour of your day to get more done now it's also important to get enough sleep and I'll talk about that in another video but right now we're gonna move on to tip number 5 which is affirmations and visualization now these are two completely different things when I put them in the same category because they really have they mesh really well so affirmations are like telling yourself stuff what you're gonna do today I will become successful I will do the dishes I will make $50 today by selling a product I will finish the last 60 pages of this book those are affirmations now it's important on affirmations not to be negative don't go I'm not going to swear I'm not going to cut someone off in traffic I'm not going to quit those are not necessarily affirmations they work but which you should focus on on things you will do because that's putting positive stuff into the universe filling your brain with positivity which is great and the other part of that was visualization so when you wake up you want to have a dream you want to have you know you just got done sleeping you might have had a dream but you want like a dream like something that you can manifest into this world something that you look forward to alright I'm going to build an awesome website I'm gonna create this amazing business it's okay to stay up really optimistic but you also want to stay a little bit down to earth as long as you can visualize these things they will help you set the stones down so that you can walk across and get to your goal tip number six is gratefulness now gratefulness is amazing because there's so many things so many benefits you get when the first thing you wake up is you're grateful now it's kind of hard if you're like waking up you're like I'm so grateful I get to take a cold shower maybe you can be grateful about all kinds of other things you can be grateful you have ten fingers now you might not have ten fingers you might have eight you can still be grateful that you have eight fingers there's all kinds of things you can be grateful for the fact is that you just need to put your brain in the gratefulness position because when that happens there's other chemicals and stuff in your brain that when you start filling your brain with positivity it'll eventually become a habit and overtime success will just seem to just mesh with you when people see you they think of positivity and with positivity people want to work with you and they want to ask you questions and they might even want to offer you a free product I know that was a little far-fetched but you get what I'm saying gratefulness is like the foundation of a great day if you are grateful in the morning you're going to have a wonderful day it's gonna take a lot to turn a bad day from waking up and going man I'm so glad I get a stand up I'm glad I got toes on my feet and I can see clearly it's just amazing even if I can't see clearly I'm glad someone invented glasses and context that I could put in my eyes and I can still see clearly anyways that's number six gratefulness I'm kind of on a rant number seven is to bond with someone early on now human affection is a really important thing and it's even more important if you're living with someone if you're living with someone one of your first morning habits should be to show them affection now this could be cuddling there's a lot of other things you could do I'm not going to talk about that because I want to keep this little PG but cuddling someone releases a lot of serotonin and that early in the morning really just boosts you up it's like wow I love someone I love this person I love being around this person I'm so glad this person's in my life and when you do that it's a great morning habit to develop because you strengthen that relationship you build trust that relationship is just gonna grow over time and it's something that you're gonna have to work on every day tip number eight is to clean from the night before now if you're like me you might have got a lot of work done especially for an entrepreneur there's a lot of people in the workplace that they might not necessarily need this tip but if you're an entrepreneur and you're building a business if you stayed up late last night even if you didn't stay up late last night your desk might be a clutter and it's a lot easier if you clean it up in the morning and the reason for that is usually when it's later in the day your decision-making process is taxed it's not the best and it's easier when you wake up in the morning to go all right now I have the discipline and willpower built up in me because I got enough sleep that I can clean my desk to where at the end of the day the night before it would be more difficult tip number nine is some silence now silence is important especially if you are an introvert because introverts actually get recharged from silence and for me waking up at 6 o'clock I wake up at 6 o'clock usually and I drink coffee and then that hour of peacefulness nobody else is awake and that coffee is just starting to hit my system it's it's this this moment of bliss and I see clearly and I know what my vision is through the day and that's how I get a ton of work done and I think you guys could benefit from that too now it might not work as well on extroverts but definitely on introverts this silence in the morning helps a lot helps you clear your thinking help you understand what you're going to try to get done through the day the last tip is kind of out there but I think you guys will enjoy it and I think it will benefit a lot of people if they implement it into their morning habit and it is to read about what happened the night before so there might have been things happening when you were sleeping you know stuff might have happened overseas something might have happened at work if it's a 24-hour job the thing is you kind of want to stay away from things that are irrelevant or negative now there's a lot of like oh this suburb there was 24 people killed that night that stuff is important but you don't need it to achieve your goals you don't need to know that there's also irrelevant stuff like some guy robbed a well that's also negative but I'm trying to think of something that's not negative that is also irrelevant like someone might have won a spelling bee you don't need to check the news for that you don't need to read about that while you were sleeping because someone winning the spelling bee unless that's like your child or your best friend it's not really gonna boost you up in your success so I'm gonna review these because I've been requested before and I want to see if you guys enjoy this little review and
