Five easy daily habits of successful people that you can start now

Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.

Have you wondered what these successful people are doing differently? What are they doing that I'm not? One thing is consistency. They are always consistent with their routine. As reported by https://www.smallbizgenius.net/ , 90% of new American billionaires are self made, and 55% of entrepreneurs say their biggest motivation for starting their own business was the idea of being their own boss. I would say most of them practiced good habits, five of them are ones you can start now.

They get up early

As explained by https://www.cnbc.com/, about 50% of self made millionaires got out of bed at least three hours before their workday actually started.

I'm sure you hear this all the time. I used to hate that alarm every single morning when I would have to get up to that nine to five job I used to hate every day. Getting up early gives you more time to care for yourself and create healthy habits, which leads to a more productive and better mindset throughout your day.

Focused thinking

Journaling down your thoughts and ideas gives them a chance to grow. Writing them down on paper helps prevent them quickly going stagnant from just talking to a friend or keeping them in the back of your mind. Getting up every morning and starting your day with a journal prompt and writing down your goals is a big habit of most wealthy billionaires. Even just writing down your thoughts will help with stress and will show a big difference in your life.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Sleep

Did you know that there are several successful people that only get 3-6 hours of sleep a night and still manage to be up before 7am? https://andrewmerle.medium.com/ gives a list of examples including Elon Musk, bill gates, and more. Setting a good bedtime routine will get you into the habit of getting up earlier in the morning. Shutting off electronics, reading a book, which is another habit successful people do everyday, will help you get the best out of your sleep.

Multiple streams

Having multiple streams of income is a really good tactic used by tons of millionaires. https://passiveincomemd.com/ explains why seven streams is important and what kind to have. I believe that finding three is a good start and growing from there. It's good not to overwhelm yourself because that will just lead to demotivation and potentially just giving up altogether. So find three things that interest you that you can turn into a stream of income, whether it's starting a small business, blogging, anything.

Meditation

Last but not least, meditation. Setting some time from your day, or before your day to meditate is very good for your mental health. Meditation helps clear your mind and puts you in a better mood which will lead to a more productive day. It helps reduce stress and tension including anxiety and depression. https://www.headspace.com/meditation/meditation-for-beginners gives an easy description of how and when to do it as well as a free 5 min session right on their blog. They also give a 14 day free trial which is only $69.99 a year, that's only $5.83 a month!

Using these habits will make a big change in your life. Taking your time to set a routine of at least one or two will help in the long run. Like I mentioned before, don't do all of these at once, if you don't have a routine already. Just start with one and work your way there. Hope I helped!
