Chapter 11: No Daily Rituals
There is awesome power in daily rituals. Possession of rituals is a well-researched real secret to success. If you are not getting the results in your life and business that you want, at the core level, the lack of rituals will be the culprit. Siimon delivers seven excellent rituals – Of which we will dig deeper into the top three – being specifically business related.
- Industry Mastery
- Anti- Procrastination
- Goal Achievement
- Social life improvement
- Clean home
- Happiness
- Fitness
Anti-Procrastination Ritual. Possession of this ritual will help eliminate or at the least dramatically reduce procrastination.
- Visualise the days achievements on your way to work
- Write a to do list before anything else
- Choose the top two and begin immediately on the first one – time yourself
- Spend ten minutes on each of the other tasks
Goal Achievement Ritual. Perhaps the most important and encouraging step is the final one on this list. If you believe it is important, and behave as if it is important… your actions will reinforce the importance.
-
- Set your deadlines for each step
-
- Visualise the goal at least three times per day
-
- Break down the goals into subordinate steps
-
- Read the goal list each morning
-
- Diaries daily time to work on the goal
If you have a ritual that you practiced each day, and it consisted of just three intelligent steps or actions, then by the end of the year you would have taken well over 1,000 steps toward your goal. An extraordinary accomplishment built upon only three actions each day.
Action Step
Inspiration may get you started; it is habit that keeps you going.
