      You must keep the body healthy if you are going to have the energy to kill it an entrepreneur.

    2. I Break big goals into tiny, specific tasks

      I Break big goals into tiny, specific tasks

      Big goals are great but could be overwhelming and vague. Break them down into tiny, specific tasks. This keeps you focused and fulfilled at the end of the day.

    3. I do things to de-stress (massage, a hobby, a sport)

    4. I find mentors & mentees.

      I find mentors & mentees.

      Surround yourself with people strong enough to tell you you are wrong and wise enough to give you a better idea

    5. I Eat well

      I Eat well

      Without proper nutrition, I'll run out of steam pretty early on. Without that and exercise, not much will get done in the long run

    6. I know when I work best

      I know when I work best

      There are clear times of day when I can focus and do my best work, so that's when I try to do it. It may not be the same schedule as others have, or even one "experts" recommend, but it seems to work pretty well for me. BTW, my good time is mid-afternoon & early evening, which means I do check email first thing in the A.M.

    7. I Keep a To Do List

      I Keep a To Do List

      I keep a long list of everything I need to do, including simple tasks and challenging tasks as well as short term and long term goals, then I prioritize regularly. Often you have so much to do you don't know where to start. Keeping a list helps you focus and stay motivated -- and It's quite satisfying to cross tasks off your list.

    8. I limit my time spent on Social Media

      I limit my time spent on Social Media

      Yes, it can be an important business development tool, but it can also be an outrageous time suck.

    9. I think about Community - Giving & Getting

      I think about Community - Giving & Getting

      Build a community. Stay focussed on the target. Share what you can. Support those in need and take only what you deserve.

    10. I "keep my eye on the pie"

      I "keep my eye on the pie"

      Keeping focused helps me get things accomplished and keeps me motivated while taking little (and sometimes unfulfilling) steps forward toward an ultimate goal. PS. This list is great for anyone - not just entrepreneurs!
