 Chapter 1
What is Emotional
Intelligence?
What is emotional intelligence? Simply
put, emotional intelligence is the ability
to understand one’s emotions, be in
control of one’s emotions, as well as
express one’s emotions. It also means
having the ability to read another’s
emotions, be empathetic to other’s
emotions and easily handle
relationships.

Now the first thing we have to do before

we can learn how to use emotional
intelligence to become successful is to
ask ourselves what is success? What
does success mean to you? Success is
the achievement of goals, happiness in
what you do and success is the positive
impact that you have on those around
you.

1. In order to reach success

you have to start working
toward goals. If you want to
work toward the goals, you
have to learn how to create
goals. Think about the many
different achievements you
have accomplished in your
life, you earn an income,
maybe you have graduated
college, maybe you are taking
care of your family. These are
all achievements, but where
did they all start? They all
began with a goal. Now think
about the things you want to
accomplish. Yes, you want to
be successful, but now we
have to ask once again what
does success mean to you? I
want you to write down what
success means to you, this is
where you are going to start
when it comes to figuring out
your goals.

Maybe to you success is

earning more money, this is
what you want to achieve. In
order to do this you are going
to have to write down goals
that will help you to reach
success. Maybe you need to
take a few courses, maybe you
will need to work more
whatever it is, this is going to
be your goal. Once you have a
goal, you are going to break it
down into smaller goals. Such
as begin research for online
courses you can take or work
one extra hour each day.

You want to break your main

goals up into smaller goals
that are achievable. This way
you will not become
overwhelmed when trying to
reach your goals.

2. Now you need to look at

your goals and examine your
emotions surrounding your
goals. How do you feel when
you think about your goals?
Do you feel overwhelmed? Do
you feel as if there is no way
you will be able to
accomplish what you have set
out to do? Do not look at your
emotions as good or bad, or
think of them as right or
wrong, simply acknowledge
them so that you are able to
become aware of what is
going on.

You need to begin focusing on

the emotions you are feeling.
All throughout your day you
need to acknowledge the way
that the emotions you are
experiencing are making you
feel. We have become a
society that rarely has
emotions and when we do, we
do not take the time to
acknowledge them. Emotional
Intelligence is known as an
EQ, it is in some ways like an
IQ, but many feel that it is
even more important. Unlike
an IQ, the EQ can be changed
throughout your life. Each time
you acknowledge the emotions
you are experiencing, as well
as the situation that caused you
to feel the emotion, you are
raising your EQ.

3. next habit I want you to

create in your life is unloading
all of your emotions. Instead
of bottling up your emotions, I
want you to carry a notebook
and pen with you. When you
are experiencing an emotion I
want you to write down that
emotion you are feeling, what
caused you to experience the
emotion, what you are thinking
and how it is affecting you as
a person. Don’t worry about
trying to be right or be
concerned about what others
may think of you while you are
writing this. This is for your
eyes only and for your benefit.
Just be honest and express
what is going on and how it is
making you feel.

4. You need to notice what

your strengths are and begin
living in your strengths.
Discovering what your
strengths are is the key to your
success. You need to learn
how to not only live in your
strengths but accept your
weaknesses as well. In order
to understand what your
strengths are you need to pay
attention to what makes you
the happiest. What is it that
you are doing that excites you?
Next you need to forget about
job titles. It does not matter if
your title is CEO of a
company if you are miserable
at the job, you are better off
being a custodian if that is
what will make you happy.

Start taking notice of the things

that you do differently from
other people. It can be
something small, one of my
personal strengths is that I am
able to get almost everything
for at least 50% less than
retail if not for free. I shop
differently than everyone else.
This dictates how I spend a lot
of my free time, but I know
that I am able to take $15 and
turn it into $250 with no
problems. I know this is one
of my strengths. Your strengths
could be that you are an
amazing house keeper or that
you are a great chef. Take the
time to notice what it is that
makes you stand out from
those around you. It could
even be that you are more
willing to help those who are
less fortunate. Notice this,
make a note of it. These are
the areas you want to spend
most of your time in. This
would be a great area for you
to build a career in.

5. Put your strengths into

words. This is one of the most
important things you can do.
Sit down tonight and write on
a piece of paper all of the
things that make you the
happiest, the things that set you
apart from everyone else.
Many times we forget about
all of the amazing things we
are great at and that we enjoy
because we are so caught up
in trying to keep up with this
life.

6. You need to train yourself to

be in touch with your
emotions. I stated earlier that
many of us become too busy in
life to pay attention to our
emotions, we ignore them
because we simply do not
have time to deal with them.
What I want you to do is train
yourself to experience your
emotions and take notice of
what they are doing to your
body. What happens when you
become overly stressed?
When you are feeling
depressed. It is learning what
these emotions do to your
body that will help you
understand how you can
overcome these emotions and
be successful beyond them.

Think about it like this, when

you are feeling sad, how
productive are you? It does
not matter what has upset you.
Maybe you are having
relationship problems? Maybe
you are just feeling depressed
and haven’t really paid enough
attention to your emotions to
understand why? How can you
be successful if you do not
understand the way your
emotions affect you?

7. Each time you take notice of

an emotion, ask yourself is this
an emotion I enjoy? If not,
what can I do about it? If you
are happy or excited, simply
take note of how the emotion
is affecting your body. If you
are experiencing a negative
emotion, you need to spend
one minute thinking to yourself
what you can do to change the
way you are feeling so that
you can move on and focus on
being successful. Now, I don’t
want you to think that being
successful only has to do with
your job because that is not the
case. You want to be
successful in your
relationships, in your entire
life.

If you are experiencing an

emotion that is stopping you
from being successful in any
area of your life, you need to
stop right then and ask
yourself what you can do to
change it.
All of these steps in this chapter work
together. All of the steps in this book are
going to work together because each of
them is going to help you become more
aware of your emotional intelligence and
become more successful everyday of
your life.
 Chapter 2
How Does Emotional
Intelligence Help Us?
I understand that at this point you may be
asking yourself how emotional
intelligence is going to help you to be
successful in your life, so I want to
spend a little bit of time in this chapter
discussing it.

The main way emotional intelligence is

going to help you is because you are
going to be able to take control of your
emotions. Just because we do not take
the time to experience our emotions does
not mean that they are not there. It does
not mean that they do not affect us and
the main driver for making decisions is
emotions.

You read that right. Most decisions are

made based off of emotion rather than
facts. Studies have shown that part of the
brain assigns emotional meaning to the
different situations we face in life. The
job of this part of our brain is to make us
act on our emotions, this is what gives us
a gut feeling when we have a decision to
make. Emotions are supposed to serve
as a warning when making a decision,
but we have forgotten how to read our
own emotions. For example, when we
get angry we do not focus on what has
made us angry and resolve the problem.
Instead we tend to shut the doors to our
emotions. This causes us to be unable to
make the correct decision usually
sending us down a path of destruction.

8. Before you have to make a

decision you need to take into
account the emotions you are
dealing with. You are angry at
your partner and suddenly
decide to end your
relationship. Later when the
anger has past you regret your
decision and suffer from
sadness. You end up
overeating, gaining weight and
once the sadness of the loss of
the relationship has past, you
are left standing there
wondering what happened.
Instead of ending up in a
situation like this, step back
and handle your emotions, then
you can make your decisions
without allowing your
emotions to get in the way.

9. Stay in the present moment.

You need to start focusing only
on what you are feeling in the
moment. One thing that
happens when people try to
make changes in their life is
that they think about how it is
going to affect them in the
future. Then think about how
tired they are going to be, how
hard the struggle will be, how
much work they have to put
into accomplishing their goals.
They wear themselves out
long before they even start.
They are not physically tired
but they have worn themselves
emotionally out.

Other times we focus on the

past. It can be something
someone said, something that
was done to us or something
we thought someone should do
that they did not do. We drag
up these emotions when we
should have worked on them
already. When you first start
working through this process
you may find that you are
dealing with this. The best
thing you can do is deal with
the emotion right then. Sit
down and figure out what you
can do to change the way the
emotion is affecting you. Work
through it so that you are able
to live in the moment and not
in the past or the future.

10. Do not set yourself up for

situations that will lower your
emotional intelligence. One
such situation is when you
judge others. This type of
behavior is a crutch that is
used to make one feel superior
to those around you. You need
to retrain yourself not to think
this way and begin recognizing
when these thoughts do cross
your mind.

Taking offense is another way

for you to lower your
emotional intelligence. This is
so easy to do, especially with
social media. Someone will
post a status ad and all of a
sudden we think that it is about
us. We take offense and our
feelings get hurt. This is when
our emotions start to take over.
Instead of taking offense at the
smallest thing, even if the
comment is made directly at
you, you need to remind
yourself that that persons
emotions are guiding their
decisions and they are
probably having a particularly
hard day. Their comment
probably has nothing to do
with you but a situation in
their own life.

11. Determine what your core

values are and when you find
yourself reacting to an
emotion, you need to ask
yourself if the emotion is
supporting or challenging your
core values. This will allow
you to jump right in to
determining why the situation
is affecting you and allow you
to begin moving out of your
reaction and into a solution.

12. Determine which of your

thoughts and feelings have
become habitual. If you really
start to pay attention, you will
notice that many of the
emotions you are experiencing
are due to habit. Some of these
habits have been picked up by
our parents and others have
been learned from others we
spend a lot of time with. For
example, do you experience
anger when you tell your
children to clean their rooms
and they do not do it? Maybe
you feel like this is a normal
response, however if one of
your core values is your
family than you need to
understand why you respond
with this emotion.

Is it because your parents used

to become upset with you
when you would not clean
your room? Is it because you
feel that you are supposed to
become angry when your
children do not clean their
room? Then you need to
determine what you can do to
change this pattern and what
emotion you should
experience when your children
do not do what they are told.
For example disappointment.
When we become angry it
fuels our decisions just like
any other emotion. The
children will pick up on this
and often times we say or do
things we regret later, such as
grabbing a trash bag and
throwing all of the toys on the
floor away.
Instead we should be
expressing our disappointment
in the fact that they are not
listening and focusing on how
we can change the situation
that has caused us to suffer
from this emotion.

13. Begin changing your

emotional response. This is a
very tough step, but some of
what I will show you later
will help you to accomplish
this. Think about it like this,
you recognize that you are
getting angry and you can see
that it is determining what
decisions you make. You need
to make a conscious decision
to change that emotion. Think
about how you feel when, for
example, someone makes a
remark towards you that you
hurts your feelings. You begin
feeling angry because of what
was said and start focusing on
how you can get back at them.
Instead by following these
steps you are going to
acknowledge your emotion
and determine what you can
do to change the situation.

Sometimes the only thing that

you can do is change the way
you respond to the situation.
Change the emotions you feel.
Maybe you will have to train
yourself to feel sorry for the
person who has hurt you, or
maybe you will teach yourself
to not allow it to affect your
emotions at all. Of course you
will at first begin to feel
angry, but then you need to
make the decision to change
that emotion.

14. Learn how to feed that

mindset that you want.
Negativity is going to stop you
from being productive and you
need to decide if you want to
live a positive lifestyle and if
 you do determine how you are
going to feed that mindset. You
are going to have to change
your thinking, remove
negativity from your life and
in the next chapter I am going
to show you exactly how you
can do that.

You may have noticed a pattern in this

chapter and that is that I focused mostly
on anger, but you should not feel as if
anger is the only emotion that can
negatively impact your decision making.
Depression, sadness, loneliness and all
other negative emotions can affect the
way you make decisions and all of these
tips apply to all of those emotions.
 Chapter 3
Negative Out, Positive In
Have you ever noticed how positive
people are happy people and negative
people are miserable? The reason for
this is because we are guided by our
emotions. When we experience positive
emotions we are happy, when all we
experience is negative emotions it
causes us to feel negatively toward
everything. So what is it that makes these
people so positive?

Were they so lucky as to never have

anything bad happen in their lives? Did
they never experience negative emotions
in their life or did they make the
decision that they were going to be
happy, they were going to take control of
their lives and not allow negativity to
rule it?

15. The first thing you need to

do is get rid of all of the
negativity in your life. This
means people, events, hobbies
and even your job if that
brings negativity into your life.
Start out by going through your
social media. You know those
people who are always
posting negative comments,
those people who live in a
state of misery? Either delete
them or stop following them
so you cannot see what they
are posting. Look at the people
in your life who are bringing
in negativity. It may be
someone that you love very
much, but you have to make a
decision to be happy in life or
to allow them to bring
negativity into your life.
Continue on with every area of
your life removing negativity.

16. Practice hypnosis on a

daily basis. I suggest that you
spend 30 minutes twice a day
listening to hypnosis sessions.
You can also do this while you
are asleep if you do not have
enough time during your day.
The way hypnosis works is
that it focuses on your
subconscious and changes the
way you think. Once you have
changed the way your
subconscious thinks, the
conscious mind is willing to
accept it. Therefore if you are
training your subconscious to
think positively you are going
to react to situations in your
life in a positive manner
because your conscious mind
thinks that this is what is
normal for you.
17. Sit down and think of the
areas in your life where you
could be more positive. Do
you struggle with remaining
positive when you are around
certain people? Maybe you
need to be a little more
positive when it comes to your
relationships. Write down
what you think you can do in
order to bring more positivity
into those situations. For
example, instead of getting
angry because your partner is
always having to work late,
choose to be happy that they
are making extra money to
help support you and give you
the lifestyle that you desire.
This will allow the time that
you do have together to be a
more pleasant experience.

18. Write down positive

affirmations that you will read
to yourself each day and that
you will read when you are
beginning to feel negatively.
These affirmations can focus
on any area of your life or they
can be general such as ‘I
always look on the bright side
of every situation’. These
work the same as hypnosis,
retraining your subconscious
to think in a way that it is not
used to. You can also listen to
these online and what will
happen is that when you begin
to think negatively, you will
hear these affirmations in your
mind reminding you that you
are not a negative person and
you are in control of the way
you feel.

19. Learn how to be grateful

for the things that you have and
learn how to express your
gratitude. Be grateful for
where you are in your life and
all that you have been through,
it has after all made you who
you are. The best way to
implement this into your life is
to get up each morning and
think of at least 10 things you
are grateful for. Start with the
easy stuff such as you are
grateful that you woke up or
that you had a bed to sleep in.
You will find that after a few
tries you are able to come up
with all kinds of things that
you are grateful for.

20. Another way to bring

positivity into your life is to
become a giver. Nothing feels
better than being able to help
someone who is in need. Now
I do not want you to go out,
take away from your family
and give to someone leaving
yourself in need, that takes all
the positivity away from the
situation and only causes you
to suffer. However, if you can
help anyone with even the
smallest thing, even if it is just
your time, then you will begin
feeling better about who you
are and your life. This will
begin to fill your life with
positivity.

21. Focus on your breathing. It

is hard to focus on what is
upsetting you if you are
focusing on your breathing. I
have been in situations where
I was so angry that I thought I
would pass out, then I realized
I needed to slow my breathing
and focus on it and it alone.
Close your eyes and focus on
each breath as you inhale and
imagine releasing all of the
negative as you exhale. Some
people like to imagine that
they are inhaling white light
and when they exhale all the
negativity comes out as black
smoke. If this works for you
that is great, do what helps
you get past the anger and
back into your zone. You also
want to make sure that this is
 deep breathing. It will do you
no good if you are focusing on
your breathing and
hyperventilate at the same
time. Breathe in deeply
inhaling clean pure positivity
and exhale slowly releasing
all of the negative emotions.

Learning how to live a positive lifestyle

may sound difficult and it may even
seem like a dream, but the fact is that it
is one of the easiest things you can do.
Simply focusing on the tips I have given
you in this chapter will help you change
your mindset and bring positivity into
your life.
You may be wondering why you should
focus on positivity and the answer is
quite simple. You see, the most
successful people in history are the ones
who choose to have an optimistic
outlook on life. Your success depends on
you removing the negative and
encouraging the positive.
 Chapter 4
How to Change Your
Thoughts
If you truly want to be a success you are
going to have to change the way you
think. You will have to change the way
you think about success, the world
around you and even yourself. Most of
the time, the only thing that is holding
you back from being successful is the
fact that you do not believe you can be
successful.

22. Spend time thinking

everyday and really focus on
what you are thinking about.
You don’t have to be solving a
problem and you don’t want to
spend this time thinking about
your bills. You want to spend
it creatively thinking. You
have to really learn how to
think properly. Of course you
go through your entire day
thinking about different topics,
but is it really getting you
anywhere? Spend some time
thinking about the topics that
you enjoy.

23. Change your thinking.

When you begin that self-talk
that all of us have taken part
in, telling yourself that you are
not able to be successful, you
are not able to make things
work out, change your
thoughts. Remind yourself that
there is nothing that you cannot
achieve. Remind yourself that
when you break these large
goals down into smaller ones,
you can do anything.

24. Know where you need to

focus your energy and keep
your mind on the task at hand.
Often we try to focus on what
we are doing and find that we
are thinking about what we
need to do when we get home,
what bills get paid this week
or what we need to buy at the
store this weekend. Learn how
to focus your attention on one
thing and one thing only. I
know that is amazing isn’t it?
We have been taught that we
can accomplish many things at
the same time by multitasking,
but I am going to assume that
because you are reading this
book that this strategy has not
brought you the success you
are looking for. When you are
home, focus on home. When
you are at work, focus on
work. One thing at a time and
you will not only reduce your
stress level but you will find
that you are more productive
which means you will be more
successful.

25. Expose yourself to

different ideas as well as
different types of people. You
are going to have to accept
that you may not have all of
the answers. You may not
know how to do everything the
best way that it can be done.
Allow yourself to learn from
others without feeling as if you
are coming up short because
you didn’t know the answer
yourself.
26. Understand that ideas are
great, but it is the follow
through that will make you a
success. If you come up with a
great idea during your thinking
time each day that is
wonderful. However,
remember an idea does no one
any good unless it is seen
through to the end.

27. Reject ‘popular’ thinking.

This is not really thinking, it is
often times an idea that
someone has come up with
and others accept because they
don’t want to spend the time
thinking for themselves. You
on the other hand are going to
spend time thinking for
yourself. You need to
understand that just because
your answers may not be what
everyone else has come up
with does not mean that it is
wrong.

28. Learn how to value your

thoughts. By doing this your
thoughts you will begin to
train yourself to only have
thoughts that are valuable. I
don’t want you to value the
mean and rude ideas that you
think about others. Value your
ideas, value what you think of
 yourself as a person and make
a conscious decision to only
think valuable thoughts.

It is difficult to change the way you think

and it is even more difficult for you to
change the way you think about yourself.
However, it is possible for you to do so.
You want to change the way you think
because the truth is no one who was ever
a success told themselves on a regular
basis that they were a failure. Tell
yourself daily that you are a success and
you will be successful in all that you do.
 Chapter 5
Success is Within Your
Reach
I told you in chapter one that you needed
to define what success was to you. By
now you should be able to clearly state
what success in your life would look
like. Would it be finding the perfect
partner? Maybe it would mean getting a
raise at work or even finding the career
you have always wanted? Success is
within your reach, but how are you going
to grasp on to it?

29. The most important thing I can tell

you to do if you want to be successful is
learn to accept failure. Many people are
not successful because they are afraid of
failure. They never try because they tell
themselves it is better to not try than to
try and fail. If they fail there are no
excuses. However, by not trying, people
are able to tell themselves that had they
tried they would have succeeded. I am
here to tell you it is better to try and fail
than to never try at all. If you don’t try
you have already failed, but if you try
and fail you will be able to learn from
the experience.

30. Learn how to balance your life. If

you want to be successful you do not
only have to learn how to take control of
your emotions and use them to work for
you, but you have to learn how to take
control of all of your life. If you want to
be successful in business it does not
mean you are going to spend all of your
time focused on that business. You need
to make sure that you have time to do the
things that you enjoy. Spend time with
the people you love and leave work at
work. It has been found that working
over 40 hours a week actually reduces
productivity and you want to make sure
that you are not doing that. I know it can
be hard at times and you want to pour
everything you have into your work, but
by doing so you will soon see that you
have nothing left to pour into it.

31. Be determined to succeed.

No one is successful because
they like the idea of success,
instead they are successful
because they are determined
that they will succeed! There
is no other option for them and
they know that no matter what
happens in life they have to
succeed at what they have put
their mind to. These people
understand that they cannot let
their emotions get in the way
of their success. Not only do
they not let their emotions get
in their way, but they do not let
anything else get in their way
either.
32. Become a person of
action. I stated earlier that an
idea is no good unless it is
followed through and that is a
little bit like this idea. A
person of action takes action,
they do not sit around making
plans to take action. They
know what they have to do and
they do it. Of course it is
important to have a plan, but
you should not only have a
plan, once your plan is ready
start moving forward with it.

33. Avoid conflicts.

Successful people do not go
around arguing with everyone
they come into contact with.
They do not feel the need to
prove themselves right. This
has a lot to do with learning
how to control your emotions,
emotional intelligence as well
as living a positive lifestyle. It
is not going to be possible to
avoid every single conflict in
life, but when it is possible
you need to walk away from
the situation and not allow it
to interfere with your life.

34. Be willing to put in the

work. Many people desire to
be successful at something but
they are not willing to put in
the work. You may be reading
this book and thinking to
yourself that there is so much
that you have to do in order to
be successful and I am not
going to lie to you, that is true.
There may be nights that you
don’t get enough sleep, you
may have to sacrifice
something you love for
someone you love. Success is
work and you will not achieve
it if you are not willing to put
in the work.

35. Living your life focusing

on money is not going to make
you happy. This is where many
people get confused. They
think that as long as they are
able to make a lot of money
and be able to buy the things
they want, they are going to be
happy. When they realize they
are spending their entire life
trying to get more and more
money they begin to
understand that money in fact
cannot buy happiness. This is
when they begin focusing on
balancing their life. I am not
saying you should not focus on
earning enough money to live
the life you want, but focusing
on money alone is not going to
make you successful no matter
how much you earn.

36. One thing that successful

people understand is that it
does not matter what other
people think. I used to be one
of those people who felt like it
was my job to impress those
around me. I worked from the
time I woke up until the time I
went to bed trying to be the
best at everything and trying to
impress literally everyone. I
finally realized that I was
spending my life focusing on
others and not on myself.

37. If you want to be

successful you are going to
have to start making yourself
do more than what is required.
Think about it like this, if you
were in school and your
teacher wanted you to write a
1000 word report, you would
write a 2000 word report
because you want to go above
and beyond what is required
of you. If someone asks for an
hour of your time, give them
an hour and a half. Focusing
100% on what that person is
asking of you whether it be at
work, at home or in any other
area of your life.
38. You have to learn how to
forgive yourself if you really
want to be successful. Didn’t
make that deadline, it is okay.
Even if you do not quite hit the
mark it does not mean it is the
end of the world. What it
means is that you need to
forgive yourself, figure out
what went wrong and use what
you have learned to ensure you
are successful next time.

39. Learn how to use your

time wisely. Many people are
able to come up with all types
of plans for their own success,
but when it comes to putting it
 into action they simply put the
actions off. You may have
gotten into the habit of
procrastinating. If you have
you are going to have to take
the steps necessary to change
this habit, build new
productive habits and take
advantage of every minute that
you have.

The truth is that successful people think

differently than everyone else. You are
going to have to change the way you
think if you want to be successful and by
using the tips I have given you in this
chapter you should be able to start
changing the way you think today.
 Chapter 6
Finding Success and Your
Health
We all know that our health affects all of
the areas in our life, but did you know
that it can affect your success just as
much as the rest of our life?

40. Get your emotions under

control. We discussed
emotions in chapter one but
you need to understand that not
having your emotions under
control can really hinder your
success!
41. Eat right. Yes, I am going
to tell you that if you want to
be successful you have to give
your body the correct fuel for
it to function. You see, if your
body is not functioning
properly neither is your mind.
If your mind is not functioning
properly you will not be able
to control your emotions,
therefore you will not be able
to be successful. It is
important to make sure that
your body is getting the
nutrition it needs to function
properly every day.

42. Exercise is also important.

This means that you are taking
the time to make sure your
body is getting some physical
activity each day. Today we
see that many people are not
as physical as they should be
because they work at a desk,
by the time they get home their
minds are exhausted so they
feel as if their bodies are
exhausted. Sitting at a desk all
day can take a lot out of your
body, but taking 30 minutes a
day and simply going for a
walk will make you feel so
much better. It will help to
push you toward your other
goals. Try to be physically
active at least 30 minutes each
day and it is best if you can get
outside during this activity
because our body needs
sunlight.

43. This brings me to the next

point and it is to make sure
you are getting enough sunlight
each day. If you are not getting
out enough you will find that
your motivation drops
significantly and you will
struggle to be successful in all
areas of your life. If you take
care of your own needs you
will be more equipped to
focus on being successful in
all the areas of your life.

44. Water is the next thing. I

want to make sure you
understand that you need. Of
course we all know we need
water but that does not mean
that we drink the amount of
water that we need. Just like
our body needs the proper
food to function, it also needs
the correct amount of water.
When I say our bodies, that
includes our minds as well
and if our minds are not
functioning properly we will
not be a success.
Why did I take a chapter to focus on
health? Because if you really think about
it, how successful do you feel like being
if you do not feel well? If you are not
taking care of your body, how can you
expect to be a success at anything? The
fact is that if we mistreat our bodies and
allow ourselves to feel ill all of the
time, we will struggle with motivating
ourselves or even getting the most basic
tasks done each day.
 Chapter 7
Helpful Habits for Success
I want to finish up this book by giving
you some habits that you can create in
your life that will help you to be
successful.

45. You should every evening

before you go to bed, sit down
and plan the following day.
Write down all that you need
to accomplish and then fit it
into your schedule. Make sure
you include items such as
exercise and spending time
with your loved ones and
relaxing. Don’t try to fill your
entire schedule with work or
you will become
overwhelmed. This often
leads to failure as well
because we are not able to do
all that we sat out to do in one
day.

46. Keep a journal in which

you will write down all of
your successes. Write down
your failures as well but don’t
focus on them, simply write
down what you think you
could have done differently to
change the outcome of the
situation. Look back over this
journal regularly so that you
can see how far you have
come.

47. Read every day. This will

help exercise your mind and
keep it full of fresh ideas. It is
a great way to fall asleep as
well. However, if you are one
of those people who get so
into a book that they can’t fall
asleep without finishing it, try
reading a little bit on your
lunch break. When I say
reading I don’t mean cute
romance novels, I mean read
something that is going to
change your life. Find a book
that focuses on one specific
area in your life that you want
to change or one specific goal
that you want to reach and
read that book cover to cover.

48. Never stop learning! This

goes along with reading a
little bit but make sure that you
are always learning. The
second that you think you
know everything there is to
know about any given subject,
you will fail at that subject in
your life. There is always
more that we can learn and the
more we learn the more
successful we will be. Try
taking some free online
courses to see what really
interests you.

49. Wake up early. This is one

thing that many people do not
think matters but I am going to
tell you from experience, the
later you sleep, the less you
will get done. Usually it
works like this, you wake up
at 10 am, shower and have
your coffee. Then it is time to
grab a bite to eat. All of a
sudden you realize it is noon
and you have accomplished
nothing. You tell yourself it is
too late in the day to start so
you spend the day
accomplishing nothing. This
will not work and it only leads
to procrastination. Wake up as
early as you can and begin
your day as soon as you wake
up. Don’t play Facebook
games for an hour before you
begin your day because the
first 30 minutes of your day is
going to set the pace for the
rest of your day.

50. If it is productivity that

you are looking for than you
need to learn what part of the
day you are most productive
in. I am very productive early
 in the morning and late at
night, it is the in between part
that I struggle with. Therefore,
I am able to understand that I
need to focus on what I need
to get done each morning,
relax or spend time with my
family during mid-day and get
back to work late in the
evening. You may find that you
work best overnight but
whenever you are the most
productive is when you need
to be working.

Success comes in all different shapes

and sizes, what I call success you may
feel is normal life and what you call
success may be something that I would
never feel successful doing. The way we
all become successful is defined by
what it means for us in our lives. So take
control of your emotions, focus on what
you need to do and follow all of the tips
I have given you in this book.
