1. Creative positive focus and urgency on a daily basis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the United States, is credited with saying, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” His routine was to wake up every morning at 5 a.m.<\/p>\n

He attributed his astonishing level of productivity throughout his life to what he did when he first woke up every morning. Immediately upon waking, he would ask himself, “What good shall I do this day?” Midday he would ask himself, “Am I doing the good I intended to do this day?” At the end of each day, he would then ask, “What good did I do this day?”<\/p>\n

2. Set big long-term goals and break down into short-term goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big goals are what truly inspire, excite and motivate us to achieve.<\/p>\n

Let’s say you enjoy traveling and you have always wanted to go to Spain. Having “Travel to Spain within the next three years” is a great goal, but there is so much more you can do with it. A big lifetime goal might be that you want to travel to 50 countries during your lifetime. You might have a goal to visit 20 countries over the next 10 years. During the next three years, you might want to go on a European trip to visit seven countries, including Spain. During the next year, your goal may be that you want to go on a Caribbean cruise that stops in three countries. Your goal for the next quarter might be to research different cruise options and to determine a date prior to next June to take the cruise. Your weekly goal might be to have a coffee date with your spouse for an hour to discuss travel goals to make sure you are in alignment on the places you want to go.<\/p>\n
