Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 210

Title: To Become More Successful Take Up These Habits

As i have pointed out severally in my write ups and speeches, success is not a destination, it is a journey. There may be no shortcuts to success, but there are certainly some pointers which can cut short the learning curve.
One of those pointers is habit.

We are products of our habits; and our habits are acquired (from the environment) and innate (from our genetic makeup).
But no matter what you consider to be successful, there are some habits that will help you to get there. We're going to discuss five of them in this article. Not only are these habits extremely helpful in becoming successful at business and life in general, they are also easy to incorporate into your life - so easy, that you can start using them tomorrow if you want.

1. Get Up Earlier

It is popularly said that "early to bed and early to rise makes a man HEALTHY, WEALTHY and WISE"

The habit of waking up earlier is one of the things that you can do to be more successful and this is because it gives you more time to work on the things that matter.

Take it or leave it but early morning provides the peace and clarity which the hours subsequently are unable to provide when the neighbourhood is awake and the streets become busy with human traffic and vehicular movement.

You can easily get this done by getting up an hour earlier.

Some of the world's most successful people aren't morning people at all, but they get up early to get things accomplished.

2. Learn Something Useful

The other day, I met a 90 year old woman who was so engrossed in reading the book with her that I wondered if she was going to write a test on the subject matter but it turned out that she was reading for knowledge and when I asked her what she still reads so intensely, she told me that for her "the day she has not learnt something new is a wasted day"

If you want to be a Leader in and by your own rights, then you must be a Reader and if per adventure you are an Entrepreneur, that then becomes the more reason why you should make it a habit to read at least one book every month because doing so, will definitely help you to learn the skills you need for the best practice in your field of endeavour.

You can also start learning something that will help you to be more successful in the future. This might be how to budget better, how to improve your credit, or a brand new skill that you think might be useful later. Make a list of things that you think you'll need to know to be successful and choose one.

3. Save Money

Even though the economy has gone bunkers and the inflation rate is in the double digits, the old adage of "save your way to wealth" still holds supreme.

When you save money, what you are actually doing is postponing or delaying the instant gratification which immediate expenditure demands.

Saving money is one great way to start the process of wealth building and assets accumulation It is a great way to prepare for future success.

Think about saving several times a day. If you are about to make a purchase of what you do not need for the moment, or what you need to join the fashionistas of the world and which you would wear just for a few occasions and it goes out of fashion, think about putting that money into your savings account instead.

Check with your bank and see if they can automatically transfer money to savings or if they have any other tools that might help you to save money.

4. Make Friends with Like-Minded People

One of the popular maxims of our time is what Jim Rohn said "You are the average of the 5 persons you spend the most time with"

Now this means that if you spend more time with negatively minded people who see nothing but hate and partiality in the world, that habit can rob off on you and you will also become negatively minded; in the same way if you spend more time with positively minded people who believe in themselves and their ability to get what they want, you would also become positively minded and go the extra mile to become successful at whatever you do.

So if your friends are all whiners and complainers, it is time for you to make some new friends, particularly people who like you have a goal to become successful, wealthy or well known in business.

Join a meetup group if you don't know where to find these friends.

Talk to people and find out what they are striving for and try to spend time with those people who you think can motivate you.

5. Be Open to New Ideas

The worst mind to ever possess is a closed mind; a mind that is made up and has no room to accommodate the changing tides and times.

If you are in this life to win, then you must realize that life is dynamic and nothing remains static and that change is the only constant, every other thing must necessarily change including you.

So the best mind to acquire is an open mind, a mind that is constantly seeking for answers to issues that arise on daily basis, a mind that is constantly asking questions and trying to obtain answers to life's challenges, a mind that wants to take on the new ideas that are streaming out on daily basis with the speed of light and run with them, that is the mind of every winner, every successful person.

When you keep an open mind about new ideas that might come along. and you are always prepared, you will have a much easier time recognizing a genius inspiration when you have one.
