I’ve reached over $22K in my business since late February of this year. It didn’t take a lot of blood and sweat to get me there, but it certainly took me a lot of tears. It also took a lot of HUSTLE. I worked my ass off to earn that $22.

One thing that was crucial to my success was having a morning plan/routine that I followed every single day (yes, even on weekends and holidays!). This plan allowed me to get my important work out of the way before anyone in my house was even awake.

If you have young kids yourself, you’ll understand just how important this alone time really is!

I really do believe that without my morning plan, I would not have been able to make so much money in such a small amount of time. It forced me to be focused and move quickly, and so the money came quickly as a result.

If you are struggling to make money with your business, I encourage you to apply a morning routine/plan to your days. I can promise that they’re worth the effort.

To give you an example, here’s what my current morning plan looks like:

Monday & Wednesday:

• 5am – Wake up, Review my to-do list that I wrote the night before (focusing on my top 3 MUST-DO’s)
• 5:15am – Work on top 3 must-dos
• 6:30am – Spend 30 minutes on social media, simply being of service
• 7am – Kids dressed, fed and ready for school, eat breakfast
• 9am – Reach out to 2-3 people on social media or email list and offer to coach them for free (I do this once a month on Monday)
• 9:30am – Work on blog post, next event (webinar, live call), guest post
• 10am – Spend 30 minutes on social media, simply being of service
• 10:30am – Follow up with one person
• 11am – Lunch

Tuesday, Thursday and Friday:

• 5am – Wake up, Review my to-do list that I wrote the night before (focusing on my top 3 MUST-DO’s)
• 5:15am – Work on top 3 must-dos
• 6am - Follow up with one person
• 6:30am – Spend 30 minutes on social media, simply being of service
• 7am – Kids dressed, fed and ready for school, eat breakfast
• 9am – Exercise
• 10am – Client coaching, free coaching or discovery calls
• 12pm – Lunch

Saturday:

• 5am - Wake up, Review my to-do list that I wrote the night before (focusing on my top 3 MUST-DO’s)
• 5:15am – Work on top 3 must-dos
• 6am – Education (class/program, listen to audio/podcast, watch video)
• 7am – Spend 30 minutes on social media, simply being of service
• 7:30am – Breakfast
• 8:30am – Answer emails
• 9am – Spend 30 minutes on social media, simply being of service
• 9:30am - End of day for work (now it’s family time), but check in on social media and client emails through the day + write to-do list with top 3 MUST-Dos for tomorrow

Sunday:

• 5am - Wake up, Review my to-do list that I wrote the night before (focusing on my top 3 MUST-DO’s)
• 5:15 am – Work on top 3 must-dos
• 6am – Plan the week ahead (weekly to-do list), schedule in calendar
• 6:30am – Spend 30 minutes on social media, simply being of service
• 7am – Work on “homework” from coach
• 8am – Breakfast
• 9am - End of day for work (now it’s family time), but check in on social media and client emails through the day + write to-do list with top 3 MUST-Dos for tomorrow

As you can see, my mornings look pretty similar all week long. 3 days a week, my daughter is at daycare, so those are the days I do my coaching & discovery calls. The days she is home with me (Monday & Wednesday), I don’t do those calls (no one wants to hear a screaming toddler in the background of their phone call).

Having this solid routine in place every day has really allowed me to get focused and accomplish everything on my list that’s important to get done. If I allowed myself to sleep in and work sporadically, I truly don’t believe I would have achieved as much success as I have thus far.

Don’t think that you have to follow my morning plan(s) exactly. You don’t. I’m not telling you to wake up a 5 in the morning every day of the week. That won’t work for some people. What I AM telling you to do, is to put a morning plan in place for every day of the week. Stick to it and I promise you that you’ll start seeing positive results in your business!
