Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 210
Title: To Become More Successful Take Up These Habits
As i have pointed out severally in my write ups and speeches,
success is not a destination, it is a journey. There may be no shortcuts to
success, but there are certainly some pointers which can cut short the learning
curve.
One of those pointers is habit.
We are products of our habits; and our habits are acquired
(from the environment) and innate (from our genetic makeup).
But no matter what you consider to be successful, there are
some habits that will help you to get there. We're going to discuss five of
them in this article. Not only are these habits extremely helpful in becoming
successful at business and life in general, they are also easy to incorporate
into your life - so easy, that you can start using them tomorrow if you want.
1. Get Up Earlier
It is popularly said
that "early to bed and early to rise makes a man HEALTHY, WEALTHY and
WISE"
The habit of waking up
earlier is one of the things that you can do to be more successful and this is because
it gives you more time to work on the things that matter.
Take it or leave it but early
morning provides the peace and clarity which the hours subsequently are unable
to provide when the neighbourhood is awake and the streets become busy with
human traffic and vehicular movement.
You can easily get this done
by getting up an hour earlier.
Some of the world's most
successful people aren't morning people at all, but they get up early to get
things accomplished.
2. Learn
Something Useful
The other day, I met a
90 year old woman who was so engrossed in reading the book with her that I
wondered if she was going to write a test on the subject matter but it turned
out that she was reading for knowledge and when I asked her what she still
reads so intensely, she told me that for her "the day she has not learnt
something new is a wasted day"
If you want to be a
Leader in and by your own rights, then you must be a Reader and if per adventure you are an
Entrepreneur, that then becomes the more reason why you should make it a habit
to read at least one book every month because doing so, will definitely help
you to learn the skills you need for the best practice in your field of
endeavour.
You can also start
learning something that will help you to be more successful in the future. This
might be how to budget better, how to improve your credit, or a brand new skill
that you think might be useful later. Make a list of things that you think
you'll need to know to be successful and choose one.
3. Save Money
Even though the economy
has gone bunkers and the inflation rate is in the double digits, the old adage
of "save your way to wealth" still holds supreme.
When you save money,
what you are actually doing is postponing or delaying the instant gratification
which immediate expenditure demands.
Saving money is one
great way to start the process of wealth building and assets accumulation It is
a great way to prepare for future success.
Think about saving
several times a day. If you are about to make a purchase of what you do not
need for the moment, or what you need to join the fashionistas of the world and
which you would wear just for a few occasions and it goes out of fashion, think
about putting that money into your savings account instead.
Check with your bank and
see if they can automatically transfer money to savings or if they have any
other tools that might help you to save money.
4. Make Friends with Like-Minded People
One of the popular
maxims of our time is what Jim Rohn said "You are the average of the 5 persons
you spend the most time with"
Now this means that if
you spend more time with negatively minded people who see nothing but hate and
partiality in the world, that habit can rob off on you and you will also become
negatively minded; in the same way if you spend more time with positively
minded people who believe in themselves and their ability to get what they
want, you would also become positively minded and go the extra mile to become
successful at whatever you do.
So if your friends are
all whiners and complainers, it is time for you to make some new friends,
particularly people who like you have a goal to become successful, wealthy or
well known in business.
Join a meetup group if
you don't know where to find these friends.
Talk to people and find
out what they are striving for and try to spend time with those people who you
think can motivate you.
5. Be Open to New Ideas
The worst mind to ever
possess is a closed mind; a mind that is made up and has no room to accommodate
the changing tides and times.
If you are in this life
to win, then you must realize that life is dynamic and nothing remains static
and that change is the only constant, every other thing must necessarily change
including you.
So the best mind to
acquire is an open mind, a mind that is constantly seeking for answers to
issues that arise on daily basis, a mind that is constantly asking questions
and trying to obtain answers to life's challenges, a mind that wants to take on
the new ideas that are streaming out on daily basis with the speed of light and
run with them, that is the mind of every winner, every successful person.
When you keep an open
mind about new ideas that might come along. and you are always prepared, you
will have a much easier time recognizing a genius inspiration when you have
one.
