Sometime simple advice is the most effective.
I recently got this tweet from Brad Lea a successful businessman and CEO, leaving me highly impressed with the power of it’s simple message.
6 SIMPLE RULES OF SUCCESS:
1. Early to bed early to rise
2. Learn something new everyday
3. Eat clean and exercise
4. Out do yesterday
5. Do what’s RIGHT
6. Help out others
Here’s a brief look at each of the 6 tips in order to find out why each one makes super sense.
1) Early to bed and early to rise.
We need sleep in order to operate at efficient levels.
2) Learning something new each day keeps us young
3) We feel better if we eat right and exercise regularly.
4) Ongoing growth makes us feel good. We feel better when we are growing.
5) Doing the right things is good for our self esteem.
6) Altruism; when we focus on others it puts our own life and any challenges into better perspective.
When I am working with my clients, from time to time, we review the aforementioned tips.
