Do you have a morning routine? It seems like the thing to have when you’re an entrepreneur...
I’m definitely not part of the five am club but once I do wake up nothing much gets done until I’ve fired up my trusty Nespresso. (I recycle the pods—don’t come for me!)
Personally, the morning routine thing never stuck. Unless you count wake up, have coffee, brush teeth.
What I’ve found invaluable is having an evening routine. Clear off my desk, get to inbox zero, write down tomorrow’s priority, and check what time I have meetings.
That way I can have a lazy start to the day, wait for my caffeine to kick in as I walk Floof, and then start work fresh and fired up without worrying that I’m missing something.
It’s just another example of doing your own thing rather than struggling to follow the crowd.
It’s why you need to start you brand with brand and business strategy, yes, even if it’s a personal brand. The strategy informs the best choices for you and your business.
That way you can make a plan that works (like my morning routine that happens at night) instead of following the crowd and making decisions that don’t vibe with your unique strengths and skills.
