Daily Success Habits are Critical to Success!

How Simple Slight Edge Decisions Lead to Success Habits

I first learned about the importance of having daily success habits from a terrific book called The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.  Jeff Olson is one of the most successful mlm marketers of all time and a profound master of daily success habits… he practices what he preaches! In the book he talks about the dramatic results we can experience in our lives by the slight edge decisions we make on a daily basis. A good example is, do I eat a salad today or do I eat McDonalds. On the surface you may think that this is not a big deal, however if we compound the effects of doing that over 200 days in a few years… well it can be drastic. The great thing about Jeff’s book is how we can simplify our path to success through daily small disciplines (that become habits).

Importance of Daily Success Habits

Do you have daily success habits? If so, I congratulate you. Having a list of the smaller goals you have to accomplish each day to reach your vision is critical to success. Most of us unfortunately, wander hopelessly through life. We forget how to eat the elephant… one bite at a time. We then tend to make excuses… the elephant grew, the elephant changed color, the elephant did this, blah, blah, blah…

You may have a focusing problem like me. I used to have what I thought were daily success habits when I was on the path of building my business. However, I would come across challenges that derailed me. Soon I was not performing the daily tasks and lost focus. I really did not develop good daily habits. More importantly, I did not know the importance of monitoring and enforcing habits in my daily life.

Taking Inventory Of Yourself and Your Daily Success Habits

Let me ask you… are you finding yourself confused and frustrated? Are you trying to accomplish something but feel stuck with analysis paralysis or just too many ideas in your mind? I took inventory of myself and found all the above to be the case. My mind was racing too far forward. I needed a better, stress free way of running my business and life.

Taking a good look at my lifestyle has helped me. Because I work full time and have family commitments, I need simple daily success habits to reach my goals. First I need a vision, then break those into medium term goals and then eventually down to daily success tasks. Perhaps doing this will help you too. One of the daily habits could be as simple as reading 15 minutes from a book that relates to reaching your goals and vision.

Monitor Your Daily Success Habits like a Prized Possession

Once you have identified the daily success habits required to lead you to accomplishing your goals, you want to treat them with a high degree of importance. Yes, your goals or your vision may change. You may need to monitor and periodically adjust your goals and break them down into bite sized daily success steps. Through repetition, your daily tasks become habits, leading closer and closer to accomplishing your goals and vision.

Benefits of having Daily Success Habits

There are many benefits to having daily success habits. First and foremost, taking action becomes a routine which we cannot do without, therefore we almost unconsciously get things done.  Secondly, knowing the simple steps you need to accomplish on a daily basis helps reduce stress, frustration and inactivity. Finally, success habits lead to creating a success mindset where you can accomplish great things in your entire life as well as your business.

Simple Way to Start Creating Daily Success Habits

My suggestion for you is taken from Jeff Olson’s book, The Slight Edge, and that is to start making some simple slight edge decisions on a daily basis to help you create daily success habits. These decisions can start out by being as simple as exercising 15 minutes every morning before work. The key is to program yourself to make the decision every day and allow yourself time  (experts claim around 21 days) to develop proper habits.

Thanks for reading and please leave me your comments.
I look forward to seeing your success!
