order to fully understand how billionaires live their day-to-day lives
and how these habitual actions lead to their financial success let's follow our
friend bill and see what activities he does on a routine basis
every day bill wakes up eager to start his day however instead of diving right
into work as soon as he rises he likes to get a couple quick wins under his
belt to set the tone for the day for bill this means getting in a 5 mile run
and having breakfast with his wife now bill wasn't always into running but over
time he found that getting up and running first thing in the morning has
allowed him to push himself physically as well as mentally and his progression
has helped him move the needle forward in his business as well moreover
spending time with his wife ensures he doesn't let his work overtake the most
important aspects of his life one of which is his family by addressing his
family and his health needs first in the morning bill sets the tone for the day
and lays the foundation for the ongoing success he is used to achieving now like
i said bill was not always an avid exerciser and one thing that he
struggled with for years was laziness he would always have the best of intentions
to work out but when it came time to lace up his shoes and go for a run he
would instead resort to doing more work or watching tv over time bill learned
that in order to see progress in his work his health and his life overall he
would have to face his laziness head on you see just one workout won't keep you
healthy if you want to build and maintain good health you need to build
daily habits around this aspect of your life what most people don't realize is
that your work ethic is no different it's nothing you have to constantly
maintain you have to practice staying focused and you have to challenge
yourself to work harder because if you get complacent well your work ethic will
fall apart and you'll get lazy and that it's exactly what was happening to bill
this is why billionaires like bill develop tricks to keep themselves
disciplined every single day they do at least one
thing that they don't like one thing that they normally avoid at all costs
for bill this was running and for other successful people it might be talking to
a frustrating client or leading a tough meeting whatever that is for you
challenging yourself daily will test your work ethic and grow it a little bit
stronger now we already know that our friend bill takes good care of his
physical health but he is also mindful of his mental well-being bill practices
mindful thinking on a daily basis ask yourself how often do you make time to
think henry ford is famous for saying that thinking is the hardest work there
is which is probably the reason why so few engage in it believe it or not
thinking is something most people take for granted because it's something you
do all the time you're constantly thinking about your to-do list
responsibilities and expectations even when you're not thinking about work
your brain still finds plenty of stuff to mull over but here's something most
people don't realize you rarely think about how you're thinking and this is
what henry ford was talking about when he said that famous quote in other words
you're not mindful of your own trains of thought but billionaires are they make
time every day to be alone with their thoughts in fact bill loves to spend
time between his run and spending time with his wife to consider how he is
feeling what he wants to accomplish and he gives thanks for everything he has
now and will receive in the future having time set aside to achieve mental
clarity has helped bill reach his financial goals to building a successful
business and becoming one of the richest men on the planet which is why he
continues to employ this practice even after reaching these impressive
milestones as you are probably coming to realize bill is a big fan of routine he
has his morning routine that he follows every single day and this is common
amongst the most highly of successful people they create routines for
everything such as getting up in the morning their workout routine how they
go about their day and even how they prepare for bed for instance bill's
friend jack loves to create routines for each day of the week in his business he
enjoys grouping his days of the week by activity which allows him to maximize
his level of focus and allows him to focus more deeply on the work he needs
to get done he organizes his week as follows mondays are for management
tuesdays are for product development wednesdays are marketing and growth
thursdays are for developers and partnerships fridays are for culture and
recruiting saturday is this day off and finally sundays are for reflection
strategy feedback and getting ready for monday whenever bill is asked how he
maintains such a high level of productivity he emphasizes how important
it is to create routines that can work back to back and ultimately eliminate
wasting time between activities every day all of bill's tasks are already
mapped out from start to finish which allows him to avoid spending time
deciding what to do and more time actually getting the work done another
trick that bill attributes to his financial success is shifting his
internal clock to become a morning person you've probably heard the saying
the early bird gets a worm and that worm is boatloads of money years ago bill
read a study that stated that 90 of executives wake up before 6 a.m on
weekdays and nearly 50 percent of self-made millionaires wake up at least
three hours before their work day actually begins the rich know just how
powerful getting up early can be research has shown not only are early
risers more optimistic and conscientious they also anticipate problems and
minimize them more efficiently and when you think about it getting rich is all
about solving problems for instance steve jobs solved the problem of
providing the world with advanced personal cell phones with the iphone
which made him one of the wealthiest people on the planet
for bill getting up at 5am gives him enough time to go on his run think spend
time with his wife and a few other activities that i will talk about later
one thing that used to drive bill's wife crazy was how unorganized and messy he
was he would leave his papers all over his desk and his clothes everywhere in
the house then one day bill misplaced a very
important client contract which costed him a significant amount of money and
from this point on he realized that he needed to be more organized in his
day-to-day life now bill doesn't wait until the end of the month to rearrange
his office or get rid of clutter every morning he dedicates 10 minutes to
review his calendar and organizes workspace and while this may seem like a
nuisance this simple activity can actually save you lots of time going
forward or in bill's case a lot of money as well in fact most people don't
realize how bogged down they are by their environment an unkept room or desk
creates all kinds of unnecessary stress not to mention it'll leave you feeling
extra lazy bill definitely feels more productive now that he has a clean
workspace to use and his business success mirrors this sentiment beyond
the previously mentioned habits that bill employs on a regular basis
he preaches the importance of what he calls staying in the game many people
think that once you become rich and successful that you'll stay on top
forever but that's not how it works there are always other people and
companies hungry to take your spot which is why you must stay in the game and
continue to work hard and innovate in fact this is why you see rich
individuals continuing to work even when they have more money than they will ever
need unfortunately bill often gets called greedy for continuing to work as
a billionaire and wishes that others understood why he feels so compelled to
do so a 2018 study conducted by a harvard business school professor
determined that there were two central questions that people ask themselves
when determining whether they're satisfied with an aspect of their life
the first is am i doing better than i was before and the second is am i doing
better than other people this applies to wealth but also to attractiveness height
and other things that people fret about now the trouble with these questions is
that many of them are hard to measure for instance if you wanted to gauge how
good of a parent you are compared to other parents that would be hard to
measure but money well money is easy to measure to answer
the first question of whether you are doing better than before this can be
easy to measure with money more money means more success and less money means
less success second money is an easy benchmark to use
when comparing yourself to others you either have more money than your friend
neighbor or business competitor or you don't the reality is that rich people
like bill aren't inherently greedy and don't need to make more money to satisfy
this greed the simple truth is that they have become accustomed to using money as
a barometer for success and as their wealth grows their target moves further
and further down the wealth scale requiring them to make more money in
order to feel accomplished while being a billionaire has offered bill many
benefits this is definitely one aspect that he could live without before we
continue many of you have been asking me how to grow a youtube channel like this
one so if you want to learn more feel free to check out the youtube guide of
link down below in this video's description and pin comment where you'll
find a special offer that i'll be ending very shortly one of the ways bill deals
with his day-to-day feelings is by journaling a surprising number of
billionaires journal on a daily basis but they do it a little bit differently
than you may think instead of only recording their daily events and
feelings billionaires use their journals to strategize they create plans for
their future map out goals and timelines and even brainstorm new concepts for
most billionaires your journal is a place to experiment with innovative
ideas some will be good and some will be bad but that doesn't really matter
what's important is that you put your idea down on paper because you never
know when one random idea will change everything but what do you do once you
have a bunch of ideas laid out one logical answer is to prioritize and this
is a skill that most billionaires like bill possess from prioritizing work
activities to your family and your overall schedule it is critical that you
keep your most important items in plain sight this is especially important to
bill who for years struggled to maintain a balance between his work and his
family he would spend 12 to 14 hours a day at the office leaving him a little
time to spend with his wife and kids over time this distance began to cause
issues in the family dynamic and bill knew that if he continued this behavior
then he would lose everything he had worked so hard to build so as he adopted
the habit of journaling he also prioritized the items in his life he
needed to spend the most time on which nowadays include his family and his
health hey it looks like youtube thinks this next video is the one that will
change your financial life forever give it a watch and let's see if they're
right
