1. Wake Up Early

A big part of being successful is having the discipline to wake up early (latest 6:30). Sounds crazy I know. But the proven secret to success is, JUST DO IT. Based on the number of hours you need to sleep, set a time to be in bed, set an alarm, Just WAKE UP. It’s going to get easier over time and you’ll be able to accomplish more each day.

2. Exercise And Eat A Healthy Breakfast

Start the morning by exercising. If you can’t go to the gym, then just do a 15-30 min workout in front of the mirror or take a brisk walk outside. Morning workouts will get your blood flowing and keep your brain sharp. After your session, eat a healthy breakfast and you are ready for a successful day.
