Early Bird Gets The Deal

Don’t you just love the feeling of being able to sleep in later than usual, on those nice warm pillows with the extra thick blankets, slobbering all over everything, snoring so loud that your neighbors may wake! Ahh, I love it.

However sleeping in too much can become conflicting for an entrepreneur in my own opinion. When you’re snoring and enjoying those Z’s, your competitors are out looking for deals to put together early in the morning.

I’ve found when I get an early start on my day, I feel much better, (After a couple of cups of coffee of course) because it allows me to tackle many more task and I get a head start on my morning.

Also I’ve found that rising early in the morning, eating a healthy breakfast and getting twenty minutes of cardio and twenty minutes of resistant weight training helps get my body tuned up and ready to go.

Then for my mental exercise I may watch the morning news both local and national, and then I try to either view the “Bloomberg Report” or “CNBC’s Squawk Box” or at least have the programs playing in the background while I’m working on my computer.

This helps my mind focus in on business matters more and it also helps me learn about important enterprising matters taking place around the globe.

Everybody’s schedule is quite different and one of the joys that comes along with pursuing entrepreneurship is that you get to make and keep a schedule that is fitting to you. So there is no right or wrong schedule, whatever works best for you is what you obviously should use.

Just keep in mind that competition is fierce and getting that extra edge on your competitors could mean rising early, eating healthy and getting plenty of physical and mental exercise so you can successfully tackle your day.

    Exactly why I work while others take vacations, at night, and early in the morning. I’m not really a work-a-holic, but I certainly don’t like losing an opportunity to one-up the competition.

    David, It does feel rewarding to be up extra early getting things done, but if you’re like me it’s no easy task, but it
