I have a serious case of procrastination! Then I learned a little trick – a 5-minute countdown! Try starting a task and timing yourself for 5 minutes. Once you begin, you activate the nucleus accumbens, and soon you’ll find it hard to stop. I often even enter a state of flow afterwards. Plus, it helps you measure how long it takes to complete a task. When I first tried it, I realised I was wasting so much time on 'getting ready' – it really shocked me!

Come on, mate, give it a go!

My best habit to ensure my success mindset is summoning gratitude regularly and practising mindfulness every day.

I believe we cannot develop what it needs to succeed without acknowledging all we already have! So, every morning before I get out of bed, I summon gratitude and let it touch my emotions! Gratitude is a beautiful positive emotion that sets the day's whole mood.

Just to give you an idea, the first thing I'm immensely grateful for is breath! Our fantastic planet creates oxygen, mainly so that all the Earth's species can flourish, and we borrow that for every breath. Then, our miraculous bodies have evolved to process that oxygen, take the nutrients we need from it, and then expel the harmful gases. This gives me such a warm, quite tearful feeling.

Following in the footsteps of this bright awe for my life is using my mind to visualise the day ahead. As the ancients did, I believe we can create anything we like with our thoughts! So, I'm like a vibrant spider spinning the web of the day ahead, and I then crawl along! Each day is magical if you visualise it with all your power and emotion: multimedia - colour, 3D, animation, sound, tastes, smells. I've been doing this for a long time but never to become a successful entrepreneur until this year!! But it works beautifully.

Then, as the events and tasks of the day unfold, I make sure I get screen respite by going outside, practising mindfulness, and nasal breathing.

These daily practices have enabled me to be hyper-productive and intensify the acquisition and honing of new skills. I have achieved great success in my mind and heart, and now the Universe is reflecting it back into the world around me!

Like attracts like!

I have been developing my magnetism, and worldly success is imminent.

Thank you, Kyle, for this week's motivation and challenge.

Consistency, positivity, adaptability, and the quest to be a better person, while I commit everything to the higher being (that I believe in), are my own habits.

I have this inner fear of failure.

I just believe in holding on and seeking ways to make things better and work against all odds. Though at times things don't go as planned, I like to live by the rule that every disappointment and challenge come with their inner merits and lessons to be learnt.

I apply this approach to virtually every aspect of my life, and it has become a habit over time.

I'm not all that old. I'm almost 50 years old. But I've seen and passed through some tough and challenging times in life that I just rinse the stated formula above and repeat for success.

Thanks.

There are two approaches to success. One, of course, is to work hard everyday, stay motivated, schedule your time, focus, overcome obstacles, be determined and persevere. It is an effective approach but the caveat is that the harder you run, you risk burn out. There is an old adage from the Christian Bible 'in your own strength you can do nothing' . So, in my view, this is the hard way.

For me, the past few years, I have learned to quiet my mind through meditation and mindfulness. The late Dr. Joseph Murphy used to teach that 'it's the quiet mind that gets things done'. History's greatest creators had ideas that, well, just came to them! When the mind is quiet you make room for infinite intelligence to provide you with the answers and the guidance you are seeking. In other words, you learn how to tap in to your true power.

I find that the better I get at this, the more effective I become. I'm delighted to report that I have been able to literally explode the content that I have been creating recently. The ideas just keep coming! To me, this is the easy way!

Most importantly "FOCUS" on the intention you set for the job at hand regardless of what it may be.

Once you have focus other attributes will follow, that is consistency, developing that positive mindset, and determination to move forward.

Also where you can if interested, learn to do meditation to help you further calm down and control the ego mind of self-doubt.

Even 10 minutes a day is great for those that normally don't meditate.

Even doing gardening can be your meditation or something else you like that is enjoyable and relaxing.

You don't need to sit cross-legged or do certain finger positions or go OM.

Just 10 minutes a day of total relaxation then get back to your main task.

When you think about it, you are back to what I stated, that is focusing on that one area to help stay calm within the body and mind.

When you are able to do this then be grateful for any opportunity you are given.

Awesome challenge Kyle!

The Habit that Made the Biggest Impact on my always growing success is: Consistency in Daily Routines

As park operators in the summer and nomads in the winter, my family’s lifestyle changes constantly. The habit that’s had the greatest impact on my success is staying consistent with key daily tasks. Even though our routine shifts based on where we are or what we're doing, I always make time for essential tasks that move my projects forward—whether it’s maintaining my websites, creating content, or checking affiliate links. Then, I always add a personal routine in there as well, such as a daily walk.

These habits keep me productive and focused, no matter the location. By sticking to these core tasks, I avoid feeling overwhelmed and keep my goals on track, regardless of the day-to-day changes. It's this blend of consistency and adaptability that has really helped me achieve success.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone, I am so thankful joining WA. I am learning so many new things and my work performance has improved too.


Eevery day I plan to spend at least 30 minutes for training. And Immediatley after traininng, I get started right away to apply want I just learnt. Time Managment has improved so much for me.

Time managment has improved so much for me. Prior to WA I really never had a set time or goal to achieve something. Now that I have my goals posted on WA, it is really motivating me to work to achieve it. Because of that, time has become very important to me. If I manage my time right, I will achieve my goals.
I find time managment working for me, because I revisit my goal everyday. It reminds me to set aside the time I would like to dedicate to achieving my goals. The monetary goal is the reflection of the time I put in reaching it.

Thank you to WA.

Hi everyone,
Hope all are doing well and lam just great full everday to be alive knowing that everday affords us an opportunity to make new choices.

One of the things l have learnt is persistence and consistency and staying Lazer focused at what you do. This has helped me in my current contract that l have maintained for over 10 years.

I would like to do the same with online business and also network with those in wealthy affiliate to learn new strategies that will help me go to the next level.

Success involves having an open mind to learn news things in life and also be ready to take risks when it's necessary.

Thank you all for sharing your success stories.

Well, as we all know, consistency and persistency are they keys to any success.

The website I am developing right now is only 1 month old and the one thing I am doing EVERY day, without fail is to publish a new post. EVERY day, without fail.

The aim of this is to build a strong foundation of 50+ posts before restructuring my routine to include editing, linking, and promotion. At this stage I will start bulk production of posts, with the use of AI which will allow me to publish quickly in the morning freeing up time during the rest of the day to cover the other necessary tasks, noted above.

I am happy to report a very minor progress of rising numbers of impressions for my site, especially over the last week.

So, to recap, publish, publish and PUBLISH some more.

All the best, everyone.

Hi Kyle!

My strategy for business success, whether in retail or online, has always been to be consistent in my actions, always have a plan, and regularly reflect on the results.

Kyle said one habit, but for me, combining habits has led to the best success.

1. Each day, I plan what will have the most significant impact on my business. I have three tasks that will help me achieve the goal.
2. Send a follow-up email, call, or engage with customers or potential partners via social media.
3. Review your daily metrics (sales, website traffic, leads, etc.) to stay on top of performance trends.
4. Dedicate at least 20-30 minutes to learning something new related to my business (read a book, take a course, listen to a podcast, etc).
5. Each day, I aim to get out and exercise.
6. Look for ways to make my business run smoother using technology, if possible.
7. At the end of the day, take 5-10 minutes to reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and what adjustments need to be made the next day.

After 35 years of business ownership, these have been some of the best daily actions learned from my mentors.
