I am constantly asked, “Liz, please tell me how you do it all? What does your routine look like?”
If you don’t know already, I am a single mother, run multiple multi-million dollar businesses, and live away from any family or friends to help out.
My answer? Routine. Not just routine – a ritual. I am VERY routine-oriented.
Let’s dive into how you can transform your mornings into power-packed rituals that set you up for success in the REI world. Remember, your morning routine can be a game-changer in your journey toward achieving financial freedom…
My #1 tip? Start Your Day with Intent. Before anything else, take a few moments to meditate or visualize your day. Picture yourself closing deals, having a successful day, finding great properties, living your best life, and overcoming challenges with ease. Setting your intent for the day aligns your energy with your goals.
Tip #2 – Educate and Motivate Yourself. Dedicate part of your morning to learning. Whether it’s listening to a podcast, reading a chapter of a book, or watching an educational video, make learning a non-negotiable part of your morning. This not only boosts your knowledge but also keeps you inspired.
Tip #3 – Plan and Prioritize. Now I do my big weekly plan on Sundays… But every morning I take a quick look at my day’s tasks and prioritize them. Identify the top three tasks that will move you closer to your goals and tackle them first. This ensures you focus on what truly matters.
Tip #4 – Physical Activity for Mental Clarity and Endorphins. Incorporate some form of physical exercise into your morning routine. Whether it’s a walk, yoga, or a workout session, physical activity boosts your energy levels, clears your mind, and prepares you for the day ahead.
Tip #5 – Connect and Network. Spend a few minutes every morning reaching out to your network. Whether it’s sending a quick message to a fellow investor, calling a potential seller, or touching base with your mentor, building and maintaining relationships is key in real estate.
Tip #6 – Review Your Goals. Keep your goals in sight – literally. Review your short-term and long-term goals every morning to remind yourself of what you’re working towards. This keeps your motivation high and your actions aligned with your objectives.
Changing your morning routine into one of productivity and focus can dramatically impact your success in real estate investing. It’s about setting the tone for a day of achievement, learning, and progression towards your goals. Remember, every big win starts with the right mindset and actions, no matter how small they seem. So, just do it messy™, but make sure you do it!
