Investing In Yourself By Taking Control Of Your Daily Routine And Strengthening Your Day To Day Mindset

Achieving success in business doesn’t happen overnight, but it often starts each morning. A solid daily routine is crucial for becoming a thriving business owner. Deliberation, meticulousness, and consistency are key traits of successful leaders. In today’s blog, we’ll explore how you can cultivate a growth mindset by establishing an effective daily routine and engaging in purposeful enrichment through education and mindset. If you haven’t yet checked out our recent conversation with Laurel Hamblin (found here), we highly recommend it!

Own the Morning, Own the Day. Own the Day, Own the Week.

Cultivating the right business mindset involves more than just tackling daily tasks; it’s about taking control of your entire day. Planning each hour with intention is essential. Without a plan, you risk falling prey to countless distractions that can derail your focus and diminish your success. If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail, as they say. Write down what you need to accomplish each hour of the day and stick to it. 

This may even include cutting out certain distracting luxuries like watching television or other habits we fall into after the work day is over in order to make more time for self improvement like reading a business book or watching a powerful seminar recording and taking notes.

For instance, set aside time each morning for exercise. Whether it’s hitting the gym or going for a jog, dedicating personal time to move your body and reflect can set a positive tone for your day. Often, during these moments of physical activity, your mind will naturally work through and strategize solutions for the day’s challenges. Embrace this valuable contemplation time to plan and prepare for the day ahead.

Getting into the Right Headspace

Successful leaders in business and at home possess a mindset that not only withstands setbacks but is prepared for them. Instead of viewing setbacks as disasters, adopt a perspective that sees them as opportunities for growth. Embrace the challenge with the mindset of “I’m built for hard things.” Recognize that every setback is a chance to learn and discover new opportunities. On the back side of every challenge is an opportunity waiting to be discovered.

Invest in Your Own Education

You may have realized this, but there isn’t anyone waiting around the next corner with a stack of textbooks in hand ready to teach you what you need to know in order to be successful. That person just isn’t there. You have to be that person.

You must take charge of your professional development. Identify your own gaps and seek out resources—books, podcasts, or TED Talks—that can help you bridge them. We recommend starting with Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman and Mark C. Winters and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey if you haven’t already explored them.
