As a mother and business woman, I get more done when I wake up in the morning because the rest is spent on seeing clients and being with the family, which is important too. I usually get asked, "How did you stick to this habit of waking up at 4:45 am?" Kathy, my co-host, and I will share our morning routines with you. Take notes and download your worksheet!

What if I'm not a morning person? I share 3 points that may make you think about the morning differently, especially between 4 and 7 a.m.  Kathy shares 5 points from an article from Forbes on how 'Successful people create morning routines" - some great takeaways from this article alone.

I share my 7 tips on creating a sustainable morning routine and these are:

1. Start small - wake up 15 minutes before you usually wake up and start 2 days a week. Then chunk up slowly when ready.
2. Have a plan - Make a list of what you want to do the night before, otherwise you will hit snooze and roll over.
3. Alarm away - keep you alarm in your kitchen or another room. Once you walk down to turn it off, you will be half awake.
4. Plan placement - keep your plan next to your alarm so you when you turn it off, your brain notices what you have to do.
5. Have a routine - do the same thing every day right after you turn your plan off. For example, go to the bathroom, wash your face and drink a glass of water before you tackle your plan/list.
6. Have a system - create a system where you know what you are doing every morning. For example, meditation and exercise. I have a business system for each morning, each day. Watch the video to find out more or listen to the podcast.
7. Proper sleep time - you can-t expect to sleep at midnight and wake up at 5 a.m. So sleep between 9 and 10 p.m.
