Take 12-Steps Toward Lifelong Success

Last week, we began our discussion about how to be a healthy millionaire. This week, I’m going to give you the exact formula. Enjoy!

Here’s the 12-step success formula many of my most successful clients follow faithfully:

1. Write out a top-five list daily, before going to bed. Make sure to include the top five things that will draw you closer to your goal.

2. Get quality, uninterrupted sleep each night. You absolutely cannot have a multimillion-dollar focus without enjoying a full night’s rest.

3. Drink a glass of water immediately upon awakening, and then drink at least one cup of water for every 14 to 20 pounds of body weight you carry around. Your brain is nearly 80 percent water. If you expect to fully function mentally without fully hydrating your system, you’re fooling yourself.

4. Read inspirational material for 20-plus minutes before starting your day, and then again for 20 minutes before falling asleep at night. I learned this habit from a mentor who told me that in order to stay up to date in any industry, I needed to read no less than two books each and every month. I made a decision about six years ago to read two books each week, thereby changing my life—and my income.

5. Always eat a breakfast that includes lean protein and a few carbs. Both your brain and your body need energy from food, not from chemicals like caffeine. Those who develop long-term success always keep their bodies fortified and rarely skip breakfast. Those who work hard and then burn out are usually the ones who think they don’t have time for breakfast.

6. Eat at least two salads each and every day. Salads and raw vegetables contain more useable long-term energy than any other food.

7. Include a lean source of protein and a low-carbohydrate vegetable with each meal. This is going to help keep your body in the fat-burning zone all day and your brain functioning at its peak level.

8. Exercise two times each day for at least 10 minutes each. What does that mean? Am I asking you to become an exercise freak? No, absolutely not! But keeping your blood moving throughout the day is vital to maintaining a tight, lean youthful body as well as keeping you healthy on a cellular level. So, get out and walk after lunch, or close the office door for 10 minutes and do some simple exercise—just get yourself moving twice a day.

9. Laugh every day, even if you have to force it. Every time you laugh, your body produces chemicals that immediately begin to repair and rejuvenate every cell in your body. Take advantage of this little secret, and learn to laugh more often.

10. Visualize yourself having already achieved your next big goal.

11. Do some form of deep-breathing exercises twice daily. (This only takes a few minutes, but it’ll drastically improve your mental focus.)

12. Avoid sugars, soft drinks, diet foods and processed foods. Although there are more tips I’d like to share with you, this is a great starting point. Bear in mind that all top-level businesspeople practice exercises like this. And if you think you know a high-growth individual who doesn’t do these things, then you’re not setting your sights high enough.

Look to those who are truly at the top of the ladder, and you’ll find rich, healthy, focused individuals who never let a day go by without maximizing their potential in every area of life.

I wish you all the most success and happiness that life has to offer.

Until next time,
