You're an entrepreneur, an innovator, or a game-changer, and you desire to supercharge your business and yourself to finally achieve what you deserve. Then, apply these 7 powerful habits which will allow you to stay positive, healthy, and grateful while eliminating roadblocks, acquiring a champion mindset, and making the required transformation to achieve your big and hairy goals.
Across the planet, entrepreneurs and innovators are actively working to solve humanity's toughest problems. They tackle an insurmountable problem to create the kind of breakthrough business that can fix it. In the Age of Exponential Acceleration, super-entrepreneurs have become motivated to act boldly and change the way we travel, eat, work, and simply go about our daily lives. By applying the habits of such "Super-Entrepreneurs", you will have an unfair advantage in those turbulent times. You will be in a better capacity than others to materialize your breakthrough potential. You will be able to unleash your true genius and achieve your goals. You will be able to supercharge your business and yourself.
Habit No.1 Focuses on the Positive
Focusing on the positive makes life more enjoyable. It lowers depression and reduces stress and pain. It will make you strong psychologically and physically. Super-Entrepreneurs have positive reference points that pull them into a new way of seeing things. Do similarly and you will see a new world of possibilities. For example, having world-class mentors or role models can inspire you to play a bigger game, and help you realize far more of your potential. I also recommend always seeing the best in any situation. Stay focused on the solution not on the problem.
PRO TIP: Have positive reference points like the good things that happened in your life or your organization, or mentors who inspire you. remember there is always a solution to any problem.
Habit No.2 Stay Healthy
Super-Entrepreneurs have high levels of energy, allowing them to enjoy the variety that life has to offer. First of all, you should exercise at least 3 hours per week. It doesn't matter if it's intense weightlifting or a nice walk in the forest. When you exercise you will boost your performance at work. You will look and feel more attractive, reinforcing your self-esteem and your self-confidence. As a leader, you will improve your capacity to convince investors, customers, and employees. Then, eat well. Drink plenty of water, and limit alcohol and sugar consumption. Eat more vegetables and legumes than meat. Prefer whole foods to processed ones. Finally, sleep enough because champions must recover enough.
PRO TIP: If you want to materialize your breakthrough potential, staying healthy is a prerequisite. Stay disciplined and you will see your level of energy skyrocketing!
Habit No.3 Be Grateful
When you are grateful, in large and small ways for the good things in your life and your business, fear disappears, and you'll attract incredible abundance. Life will always give grateful people even more things to be grateful for. Most Super-Entrepreneurs spend five to ten minutes every night positively reflecting upon their day. You can do the same. Don't just record what you did; explain why you're grateful for whatever happened.
PRO TIP: Build gratitude into your day the same way you build in exercise or healthy food. Gratitude is a muscle. Exercise it.
Habit No.4 Practice a Mental Activity
Your mind is also a muscle you must exercise every day. Important is to do something. If you do not like meditation like me, then you can read a book (even 10 minutes per day) or write in a journal your thoughts of the day. You can also practice productive thinking like I'm used to doing when walking or driving. Some other techniques include the following ones: in the morning, say morning positive affirmations, or lie on the ground and do mindful breathing to relax and feed your mind with positive images. You can also do mindful awareness by clearing your head of negative thoughts.
PRO TIP: Train your mind as a champion. Feed it with positive things that rise you and your venture to new levels. Declutter your mind from all the garbage.
Habit No.5 Plan your Life and your Business
Planning is powerful because it allows you to control your life and your business. It allows you to achieve your long-term goals while managing the small tasks that are key to reaching those aims. Through careful planning, you can anticipate likely challenges that can arise during execution and map out several options for those challenges before they happen.
PRO TIP: Make plans and examine what is the best possible outcome. Inspect this outcome in your mind's eye and see if you can improve your plan so that it leads to an even better outcome than the one you initially envisioned. Eliminate potential roadblocks and find ways to surpass your intended goals.
Habit No.6 Step out of your Comfort Zone
Say goodbye to your comfort zone, trust your crazy ideas, break the status quo, build disruptive solutions, and enter new markets. Don't be afraid to take daily risks. It's another muscle you need to develop. Through the process of building this muscle, you'll realize that the upside of taking a risk if it pays off usually exceeds the pain of a moment of rejection or failure. Keep challenging yourself and your organization to do better and be better. Refuse to be average. Stand for what's best.
PRO TIP: Commit to challenging, audacious, and risky goals and projects. You will engage people to follow you because those goals are so bold and exciting that they will stimulate progress.
Habit No.6 Act as the organization you want to be
If you try to mimic another company, your venture will become nothing at all. The breakthrough venture you have the possibility of becoming is the greatest version of it. You cannot WANT your organization to do something or HAVE anything; your organization can only BECOME what is necessary to attract what you desire for it.
PRO TIP: Your venture will only be as great as it is. Your role as a leader is to make your organization acts already today as the one you want to be.
How to make it
I recommend building one habit at a time. No one has the discipline to acquire more than one powerful new habit at a time. Then, give each habit enough time. You must stick with the discipline long enough for it to become routine. Remember that habits, on average, take 66 days to form. Once a habit is solidly established, you can build another one. It is also important to track your progress. Hence, review your progress every week, every quarter, every 6 months, and finally every year. The most important is to not give up. In the pursuit of success, you must be prepared to deal with tough times, but when you feel like giving up, remember why you started. Keep cool and solve quickly short-term problems. Don't listen to naysayers and just move on.
I hope applying these 7 habits will bring your life more joy and success.
