Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 165
Title: Amazing Daily Action Steps To Becoming Highly
Successful
Success is defined in many
ways. Financial, relationship and philanthropic success are just a few ways we
can measure success.
How does someone become
successful in their goals?
Here are 12 things you can do to help you achieve
success.
1. Plan Your
Day The Night Before
Stephen Covey stated in
his book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that
you should review the coming day the night before.
This way you have already
created a mental map of how tomorrow will flow.
You can make sure you have
the information for your meetings and if you need to add other activities you
can know where you may have time. By planning your day the night before you are
being proactive and not reactive.
2. Create A
“To Do” List
Okay, so you have just
planned your day. Any thoughts pop up? What main topic were you going to cover
in that customer meeting? Make a note.
Were you low on milk this
morning at breakfast? Grab some on the way home from work if you forgot to
already.
Any calls you need to
make? Write it down.
If you create a list of
things you want to accomplish the next day you have a greater chance of
accomplishing them.
3. Get A
Good Night Sleep
This is easier to do after
you have planned your day, feel comfortable with what you have to accomplish
tomorrow and then can clear your mind of it.
You won’t have to lay in
bed trying to keep straight in your head what you have to do tomorrow because
you have a list.
You should also sleep no
less than eight hours and make sure you go to bed about the same time every
night.
If you do like to read
before bed do it somewhere other than your bed.
4. Get Up
Earlier Than You Need To
Getting ready for work in
the morning always seems to take longer than we think.
Then there is traffic,
weather and parking to deal with.
If you give yourself extra
time you will be more present in the moment when you load your car or computer
bag and the chances of forgetting something is reduced.
You will also be more
relaxed when you reach your destination.
Nothing says failure like
a rushed, disorganized sweaty guy running into a meeting late.
5. Read
You have been hearing this
since elementary school.
It doesn’t matter what you
read. You can read the Wall Street Journal for 45 minutes a day or a novel at
night before you go to bed, just not in your bed.
You can read business or
books about hobbies.
The point is that you
read.
Reading increases our
vocabulary, makes us better spellers and exercises the muscle that is our
brain… Well, the brain is an organ, but you get the point.
6. Set Goals
A goal is a dream with a
timeline.
Not only do you need to
set goals, but set different sized goals.
If your goal is start your
own company you need to set goals about gaining skills that will help you run a
small business.
Start by getting a job in
the industry and then try to get promoted in the first year.
Or if your goal is to
write a book set a goal of having a certain number of chapters done by a
certain date.
7. Measure
Your Goals
How do you know if you are
on track if you don’t measure your goals?
If you are six months into
that job and things are not looking like a promotion is going to happen… Why?
Did you underestimate how
much you needed to learn? That’s fine – adjust your timeline
. If you are not doing
what you need to be doing think about why you have lost interest or momentum.
Maybe this line of work is not for you?
8. Reflect
Our lives are a story, not
a plan.
A plan is linear and a
story does not follow a straight path.
Your life is a story with
subplots and surprise characters. It is okay to reevaluate your goals and where
you think you were headed and change direction.
That is how you learn and
figure out what you are good at doing.
9. Get A Mentor
A mentor should keep you
honest.
If you are not hitting
your goals they should call you on it.
You should have regular
meetings with them and let them know what your goals are and the time frame you
have given yourself to accomplish them.
10. Stay Healthy
Sick people find it
difficult to be successful because they are just trying to stay alive. Take care
of yourself.
Exercise, stretch and eat
right.
Exercise is a great way to
keep you mind fresh by letting off stress. It can also give you time to gather
your thoughts.
Stretching is important
because it keeps you from getting injured and then not being able to exercise.
I am not talking about running a marathon – A long walk on a regular basis
counts.
11. Focus
Multitasking is a lie.
Successful people focus on
what they are good at and leave everyone in their dust
Look at what you are interested
in doing in life and see if you are good at it.
If you are, you are done
looking. You have found your ONE thing.
See you on the other side!
12. Rinse and repeat
Consistency is what makes
people successful. I’m sure you have all had that coach who told you, “what you
do in practice, you do in a game.” That person is a genius, listen to them.
Practice makes perfect…
fake it ’till you make it. Whatever saying you want to use it all means the
same thing.
Once you have found your
one thing keep working on getting better and better at it.
How do you do that?
Start with number one on
this list and do all twelve steps over again, day after day until it becomes
second nature.
It takes 21 days to form a
new habit.
