Hacks to Take Away
- Investing in yourself with a personalized morning routine, even if it’s just 15 minutes, can have a compound effect on the rest of your day.
- Being part of a mastermind group can be a powerful personal development strategy, providing accountability, support, and knowledge-sharing with like-minded individuals.
- Walking at least 7,000 steps a day can lead to a longer life and is a low-impact way to get exercise, with the added benefit of using the time to consume content or take business calls.
- Tracking progress is key to improving, whether it’s through an app or other means.
- Continuous experimentation and adaptation is important in personal growth, such as changing up your morning routine or trying new strategies.
