Listen on…
There are three kinds of people in this world. Those who have morning routines, those who don't, and those who want to tell everyone else what their morning routine should be.
I definitely have one, and I love it. It's a good mix of Scout, Peloton, and of course Hobie (when he's home!).
Here's the thing… I am not here to tell you how you should do your morning.
In fact, on today's podcast, I am giving you the inside scoop on the morning routines of some of my favorite people. When you listen, you'll notice that no two are the same. Did I mention all of these people are very successful entrepreneurs with a lot on their plates?
As entrepreneurs, we get to design our own lives. We get to call the shots with how we spend our days and what we work on. Having a morning routine is a great way to gain focus and clarity and make sure the work for the day is the right work.
I hope this episode inspires you to create a morning routine that works for you and your life and most importantly supports the big goals you want to achieve.
You'll hear from…
- [08:00] Jasmine Star needs slow mornings to facilitate creativity and productivity. She quietly does the things that her soul needs to optimize her creativity levels. She gives herself 45 minutes of utter decadence. She also gets two hours of unobstructed work time.
- [13:18] Jennifer Allwood has four kids. Need I say more? Her mornings consist of getting kids out the door for the first two hours. And she still manages to get quiet time for the first 35 to 45 minutes of the day. She goes out to her deck with coffee. She thinks about her intentions for the day and what will actually move the needle in her business.
- [17:50] James Wedmore makes sure his routine gets him excited to get up. He meditates for mental well being. For physical well being, he uses an infrared sauna, the Peloton Tread, a Bellicon rebounder, and a BioCharger. Some days he just goes for a walk or swims in the ocean.
- [22:20] Julie Solomon began morning routines a few years ago but made them too rigid. Now she sees her routine in a new way and it serves her far greater than before. Her routine is intentionally set up for self-care in whatever way it looks like for each day.
- [29:48] Stu McLaren starts with his five-year-old in his face asking if it's time to get up yet. He doesn't have a regimented routine in this season of life. His priorities are family time. His day starts and ends with his family. He takes his kids to school and gets his wife a cup of tea. He also takes his dog for a walk in the woods.
- [32:56] Kate Northrup has a different routine every day, because of her two young children. She feels like her morning is not entirely within her control. She wakes up with the baby or when she is done sleeping. She takes a moment of gratitude, has a cup of warm lemon water., then coffee and a quick workout with her husband in the garage.
