The ONE Thing Successful Entrepreneurs Do Daily

Learn How To Get Your Most Important Daily Activity Done

There's one thing that all successful entrepreneurs do daily. They write their goals down and read them every morning and night. It doesn't matter what their goal is to make more money, climb a mountain, learn a new language, or anything else.

Whatever it is, they write it down and read it twice a day. But here, writing your goals down and reading them daily is an incredibly important habit to get into, but it's not enough to write down your goals.

You need to tell people about them. For example, let's say that you're a small business owner and want to raise more money for your business. What would happen if you wrote down your goal on paper and then threw it in a drawer?

How would you feel about yourself if you never told anyone about this goal? You'd probably feel pretty good about yourself because you wrote it down, but you put it in a drawer and ignored it, so do you still feel good about it?

Chances are, no one knows about it because you don't see what you can share with the public about your ONE goal. You might think that you have nothing interesting to share with the world about raising more money for your business.

But that's not true. There are many exciting things you could talk about, and it's up to you to figure out what they are.

For example, you could talk about how you're going to get more clients, how you're going to raise more money, or how you're turning your business around. There are a million different ways to talk about these things.

"Not just that, it allows you to protect your goals in your calendar fiercely, so you have no reason not to execute your goal!"–Ivy Chen

The point is that you need to start telling people about your goals so that they can help you achieve them…

To-Do List Is The Enemy!

To-do lists are the enemy because it might be tempting to seek out fast cures when you have a to-do list that can get checked off quickly. And in the short term, those things feel good to check off.

But in a long time, what will make the difference is whether or not you've focused on your big goals and whatever you have been checking off aligns you to your big goals.

As an entrepreneur, you must see your vision and imagine the result. That ability will guide your choices and help you turn your dream into reality, and having to turn your passions into profits is no longer history. 

For instance, suppose you wish to develop a new app for managing music education resources, and that's your big goal!

Then, you identify some features that will help you reach your "that big goal," and you put them down as tasks and leave out others that are irrelevant to your to-do list.

Steps that you can implement right away:

1. Write down your one goal for the day - Just one.​

2. Then, break down a goal into three smaller chunks of tasks.​

3. Next, find a reward for yourself after completing a task.​

4. Finally, reward yourself for accomplishing a goal.​

The best entrepreneurs don't just wait around for great ideas to strike; they go out and find them. They actively search for solutions to problems because they know that genuine innovations are waiting to be discovered.

Then once they've found something worth pursuing, they do whatever it takes to bring the solution into being so others can benefit from it too!

Successful Entrepreneurs Know What They Want And Why They Want It

They have a clear goal in mind, but more importantly, they understand how reaching that goal will make them feel. 

These feelings could include:

• Freedom from the monotony of a 9-to-5 job:

  I want to be able to escape the drudgery of corporate life and be my boss.

• Independence and authority:

  I want to prove that I can make it on my own.

• Pride in creating something no one else has made:

  I want to create innovation and establish myself as an industry leader.

• Financial freedom:

  I want to provide for my family and ensure that we live comfortably.

As an entrepreneur, you need to stop thinking like everyone else. And I don't mean your classmates or coworkers; I'm referring to the general public that has been told by society since birth. I was taught that I needed to go to school, get a degree, and then get a job that would pay a monthly salary.

I never questioned this system because I was taught that questioning is rebelling. I was instructed to follow the rules and do as required. It would help if you thought differently to be a successful entrepreneur.

It would help if you questioned everything, especially the status quo.

Don't automatically assume that if someone has more experience than you, they know what's best for you and your work-life path. Acknowledge your passion.

One Main Lifetime Goal For An Entrepreneur

Entrepreneurs know they can't do everything at once. That's why they know that to be successful.

It's essential to focus on one goal for the next year (or one quarter or one month) and only that goal. Trying to do everything at once may appear to be a good idea:

• Diversify your offerings.

• Build your brand.

• Grow your audience base.

• Improve your system efficiencies.

But when you try to take all of these simultaneously, you're likely to fail at them all. As an entrepreneur, you must choose one goal and focus only on that year. Then write down exactly what action steps you need to take to achieve that goal.

These should be concrete steps completed within a month (or less). Then put together a calendar with these steps and deadlines for each step. For example, suppose your goal is to increase sales by 10% over the next year, and you determine.

In that case, that means adding 50 new audiences, then breaking down how many new audiences you need every month:

• How many new audiences you'll need every week,

• How many new audiences you'll need each day and,

• Finally, pick a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday schedule and run it through your calendar.

Make Your ONE Goal, The Golden Habit

Writing down your goals and reading them twice a day is an essential daily habit for anyone looking to reach their potential. You won't always feel on top of the world while working towards that big goal.

Sometimes the work will feel tedious. That's just a normal part of life. The best entrepreneurs can watch the long game while thinking a few steps ahead.

While you may be running short on cash and feeling a little overwhelmed right now, think about how much you've accomplished in your business so far.

So, my friend, if a goal is achievable and realistic, the chances of success are more significant. Define your goals by relying on math, and then formulate a plan of action to achieve each goal. It will determine what resources you need to complete them.
