We all have daily rituals. The problem is that most of us have terrible ones. A lot of people that have done well in this business used to have rituals like:
- Open Computer
- Check Email
- Check FB
- Check Email
- Go On Skype
- Check Email
- Buy Cheap Products
- Then they keep repeating the cycle
Then they think they’re working so hard and wondering why they’re not making any money. The more they do this and the more of a ritual it becomes then it turns into a nearly impossible habit to break. Then you have the those with good rituals.
It’s all about their rituals. If you don’t have rituals set up in your life, this is something that’s imperative you do asap. You can even have a mini ritual to help you get to your main ritual and daily things you want to accomplish. An example is you could start deciding what you need to get done before you go on your computer. This could help you by not mindlessly jumping from website to website because now you have a plan. Other things you can try are:
- Making a fresh cup of your favourite drink may put you into the productive zone
- Working from a cafe like Starbucks maybe your magic ticket
- Putting on the headphones and jamming to a certain playlist may do it for you
Whatever it is, find something that gets you into a routine of taking action. You should be doing the things that will really move the needle forward in your business and life.
