Dominate In Business With These Mega-Valuable Habits

In this article, you will find out the habits you need, to be a successful entrepreneur.

Now I always talk about very important skills in my videos, like sales and marketing, and copy writing, and other important skills, that these days an entrepreneur should develop. As I’ve been working with beginner entrepreneurs, I’ve noticed that there’s a certain thing that they lack, almost universally when they try to start a business, and that’s to be able to put in a solid week’s worth of work.

A solid week’s worth of work, is something like forty five hours invested in your business, this is just like going to a job, but working for yourself, it’s not even a lot. I was doing twelve to sixteen hours a day to start this particular business, so forty five hours a week is not a lot. Trust me, anyone can do this.

I can pretty much teach a seventeen year old to do this, which I’m currently doing. If you read some books by successful billionaires, you’ll notice that they really put in their hours. They really put in their repetitions for the basics. They don’t really talk about super advanced theories about marketing, and entrepreneurship. They just focus on the basics.

Richard Branson for example, is really good at promotion, he’s extremely good at just picking up the phone, and just getting shit done, getting his face out there, and getting on stageand presenting him and virgin his company, in a really good way, which is really beneficial to everyone who is watching.

You can Google, or YouTube, some of his appearances on stage. He’s also extremely good at closing deals, and this is a recurring theme I’ve seen in entrepreneurs that I’ve seen reach billions of dollars. If you read their books, they really focus on the basics. It’s just like people who are really good at sports. If you ask them what they practice every single day, they’ll tell you: ‘I practice the basics.’

If it’s a basketball player, he’ll practice how to shoot hoops, and all that kind of stuff. If it’s a Judo player, he’ll practice those basic movements over and over. If you can get the basics, that’s enough. You can hire people who’re good at other stuff.

Entrepreneurs who become really successful, really get this. They don’t need to take everything in their company on their own plate. They can have it done by someone else. If you become really really good at valuable skills, and you develop the habit of repetition, of getting it done every single day, avoiding all the distractions, and making sure you have the hours for relaxation, so your brain starts working again.

You can also read books like happiness advantage. If you’ve read this book, you’ll know that if you train your brain when you go to work, and you’re around people that you like, and you’re around people that you actually want to be around with the whole day, that you want them to advance, just as much as you want yourself to advance, and you want the company to advance.

Suddenly the productivity goes up. The old manta that people used to have, and some people still have: ‘that you need to work your ass off no matter what’, and ignore happiness because that will come with success. That’s been scientifically proven to not be true. You need to focus just as much on yourself, as your business and on your work, and eventually you’ll find that you’re able to put more and more hours into your work as well.

It’s not as simple as just sitting down and doing the work. I’ve tried telling people about why they haven’t done the hours they were supposed to. Of course, if you’re just starting out, you’re still building up that habit.

Here’s the number one tip for a beginner entrepreneur: he needs to have a daily tracking sheet. If you have a tracking sheet, you can put in, what you’ve done every single day, in a very simple format: have an objective you wanted to get done, and then next to it put a yes or no, depending on whether you did it or not.

If you fill in this very simple form, every single day, you’ll have a track record, of when you’ve done your work, and which days you haven’t. Suddenly what you track, you will improve at. This is the number one tip that I can give to you, and it’s not just for beginners by the way, it’s for successful entrepreneurs to implement this as well.

I’ve seen people in self-help and in lifestyle development implement all this kind of stuff, and it works wonders. Tracking your progress every single day, works amazingly well. I’ve seen masterminds for fitness; have 95 percent success rate through this method alone. What works in fitness, oftentimes times will work in health and food, and sometimes in business as well. Ultimately we’re talking about a habit here.
