Have a quotes list near your
desk, and your bed
For as he thinks in his heart, so is
he… The famous quote from the Bible in the
book of Proverbs 23:7 is always close. Be it in
my notebook (one of the two), or next to my
bed, I always have inspirational quotes that
keep me focused, upbeat, and aware that success isn’t immediate. That success takes hard
work, dedication, and much sacrifice.
If “making it” was easy, everyone would have
made it. That’s why I respect all entrepreneurs, it takes guts to be in the arena.
Set mini, measurable goals
You’ll have your big goals – and make sure
they’re as clear as possible – but they need to
be broken into smaller goals as well. Make
these goals measurable and attainable in the
near future (like “to-do’s.”)
Everything should be measurable so you
know where you are in relation to where you
want to be. EVERYTHING.
Work in 90-120 minute intervals
interspersed with active breaks
Your work should be intense, purposeful, and
focused. Studies have shown that we can do so
for a 90-minute period but tend to lose focus
once that 90-minute period is struck.
One of the best ways to regain focus is to do
something active. The endorphins released
during this period by a quick jog or set of
sprints will help you not only gain energy but
regain focus.
