Make Your Business a Habit

I used to rearrange my to-do lists at least once a week.

The issue was that I kept planning my perfect week.
I kept making elaborate plans.

This is what productivity has taught me:
I need to plan for efficiency.

But the truth is even more simple than that:

Make building your business a habit.

I write this today as I have just reached a pretty big milestone.
I have published 100 newslettersconsistently.

What was overwhelming in the beginning
now feels like a normal thing to do.

Writing my newsletter is no longer a motivating task,
but rather just a habit of a daily conversation with you.

It’s now a part of my daily loop.

So many people have said to level up your game fast.
I was told to always be on the latest tactics,
the current trends that promise the greatest growth or return on impact.

But in reality —

The simple habits will outgrow all tactics.

Because you will outlast your competition.

The more I think about what I’m doing,
the more I notice:
Growing my business is more about establishing simple habits I can keep up for the long term.

I do less and less in a muscle effort, pushing hard to get going.
I do it more because of a simple habit.

The interesting side effect is what I lead up to:
Since the beginning of writing this newsletter,

I feel like my writing improved.

It’s awesome to see the 1% every day compounding into massive action.

The best thing to grow your business is to make it a habit.

Just find those simple tasks that you can implement today. Make them your daily habit and you will never run out again.
