When I was 26 years old, my company Spheric was growing steadily. 

We were doing about $2.5 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), with about 16 employees.

But… I felt suffocated.

I was struggling to cope with the daily challenges that came with business, so I reached out to a mentor for help. 

The first thing he did? He asked about my routines.

What was I doing every day? Every week? Every month?

I hadn’t really thought about it. I just worked as hard as I could.

But he opened my eyes to my habits and I began to experiment with optimizing my daily routines.

Whoa… What a difference it made!

I began to restructure and create a balanced and healthy life that could sustain the high demands of the work I was doing.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of hanging out with 100’s of other millionaires and I discovered that we all have similar morning routines.

I’d even say that if you want to live a bigger life and have more success… start by changing your mornings.

Here’s my routine, why I do it this way, and how it helps me perform better. You’re welcome to borrow it.

I’m serious about this. If you make these changes starting today, your life will change for the better. It’s impossible not to.

These are the 8 that I insist upon:

  1. Drink
  2. Meditate 
  3. Affirmations (you’ll feel strange at first but it works)
  4. Goals
  5. Gratitude
  6. Visualize
  7. Read
  8. Move

If I had a poor morning routine, I don’t think I’d be able to do what I do.

You just can’t tackle daily business problems without a clear mind. It’s all about giving yourself the opportunity to be your best.

Work with yourself, not against yourself.

I swear, morning routines are so important that it’s a hot topic amongst millionaires. We read books about this stuff. For good reason.

You can steal my morning routine, I don’t mind.

The key is to have one.
