Mornings


mornings I wake up every morning at nine
and grab for the morning paper then they
look at the obituary page my name’s not
on it I get up Benjamin Franklin I’m not
a morning person I’m not the guy who
hits the snooze button six times and
wants to stay in bed all day I actually
don’t use an alarm more on that later
but I don’t usually wake up super
motivated and ready to take on the day
it takes me a while to get started
struggle I used to struggle with this a
lot I saw successful entrepreneurs and
it looked like they were always on it
look like they never doubted themselves
or had days when they weren’t motivated
I worried that if I wasn’t super
motivated like them I wouldn’t get the
success I was after why wasn’t I just
naturally motivated every morning what’s
wrong with me so I look for motivational
videos to watch when I woke up and it
worked for a while the problem was if
you watch the same video over and over
again it stops becoming his motivational
at least that was the case for me highs
and lows I couldn’t understand how I
could have a great day yesterday be on
top of the world feel so motivated and
passionate and then wake up the next
morning and have to start from scratch
like yesterday didn’t even happen the
feeling of excitement and motivation
just disappeared and I had to start all
over again I wasn’t depressed or sad I
just wasn’t super motivated i was a bit
lazy and slow routine after a lot of
searching and struggling i finally found
something that worked for me create a
daily morning routine that inspires you
my routine evolves as I evolve but if
you can create a routine that serves you
it’s a great way to kick start your day
and get you ready for action here’s what
my morning routine looks like right now
eight to nine a.m. wake up I don’t set
an alarm and prefer to wake up naturally
so don’t wake up at the same time every
day I wake up when i wake up forcing an
early wake-up time and being tired all
day
specially after a night of salsa dancing
doesn’t seem like a winning strategy to
me 92 930am breakfast and social first
thing I do is go to the kitchen and
drink a large glass of water when you
wake up your body is dehydrated from a
night’s sleep and needs water there are
also a number of health benefits to
having water first thing in the morning
that I won’t go into here google it I’ll
grab my breakfast which usually consists
of spinach lentils and to cut up hot
dogs starting the day with protein is
another amazing life hack but here’s the
key over breakfast I’ll check my social
media comments and engage with my
audience you guys I love doing this
because the comments are always
overwhelmingly positive and it starts to
get me motivated and wake me up for
example here’s one that came in this
morning on YouTube Wow graded by seven
PS i discovered your channel yesterday
and it’s still shocking how you’re not
trying to sell yourself and you always
give away so many valuable tips others
would charge hundreds for I think I know
who my dream mentor would be I get these
every day how can you not get motivated
reading comments like that 9 30 to 10
a.m. wait next I’ll do a quick workout I
find that by physically being active my
mind starts to get active as well I’ll
usually work out while watching sports
highlights from yesterday and thinking
about some of the comments people left
for me seeing athletes push themselves
on TV makes me push myself harder in my
workout I’ll finish with another glass
of water and a protein shake then come
back to the computer to finish up any
remaining social media comments 10 to
1030am cardio up next is a 30-minute run
I put my headphones on load up some
YouTube videos on my laptop and start
running on the spot i watch videos that
will make me think videos that challenge
me to change right now some of my
favorite ones are by Jonathan fields and
Eric Thomas go look them up I give a
thumbs up unusually a comment on the
ones that I like to find new ones i find
the youtube what to watch videos does a
pretty good job in suggesting
interesting clips to watch based on my
past history
1032 11am shower get ready I then hop in
a shower and think about everything I
learned so far I think about the social
media comments and the new videos I just
watched I think about how it can apply
to my business and what I want to
accomplish today I find a lot of great
thoughts come to me in the shower and
especially after being hit with so much
positive information 11th 1145 a.m.
miscellaneous this is an open time slot
for me that I feel with various
activities on Wednesdays I have media
training that goes through the whole
time on tuesdays and fridays i have a
call with my agent they usually last for
15 minutes every second Thursday I have
my radio show and the extra time I have
I’ll fill it with whatever inspired me
usually idea that came from the shower
1145 a.m. leave I usually leave at
eleven forty-five they get to the offers
for noon you start at noon this is a
common response when I tell people about
my schedule and yes I start at noon I
also leave at three fifteen they go pick
up my son from school and hang out with
them three hours of solid work with a
15-minute break in between but my
mornings are when I do a lot of my real
work the hard work the thing can create
a future direction of the business work
you don’t get your best ideas when
you’re stressed out not sleeping not
taking care of yourself working 18 hours
a day you get it when you’re relaxed
when you’re active when you’re in the
shower when you’re inspired by someone
or something so I give myself all of
those things every day to give me the
best chance of success and i turned my
mornings from being the worst to being
the best part of my day your turn
