35 Tips To A Wiser, Healthier, More Productive And Successful YOU In 2009

First off, I want to wish you a very happy…successful…smooth-sailing…albeit a belated, 2009 ahead!

2008 was a year that was full of ups and downs. More downs actually.

There were the terrorist attack in Mumbai, earthquake in Shenzhen and devastating cyclone in Myanmar.

Financially wise, there was unprecedented bloodletting. The fall out from the sub prime crisis has seen titans like Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and Citibank taken a real body blow.

Damn! Even my favorite club, Newcastle United, has descended into a real farce. Just when I thought it cannot go worst…it just did!

Personally, 2008 has been a real learning experience for  me. Made some mistakes, but have also gained a lot. And learnt a lot.

At the present moment, everything seems gloomy. But as we embarked on a new journey in a new year, I urge everyone to keep your chin up and forge ahead with renewed determination and vigor.

Always remember one thing:

It’s Always Darkest Before Dawn!

When things get soooooo bad, the only way left now is…you guess it….UP!

So, without wasting much time, let me leave you with 35 tips that will lead you to a wiser, healthier, more productive and successful you!

Enjoy!

1. Set a schedule/checklist of daily to do tasks and resolve to finish it

2. Resolve to exercise at least 3-4 times a week. Jog…work out…do whatever to work out a sweat and your heart. You will find yourself more refreshed and more ready to tackle your work.

3. GET OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER! It’s unhealthy to keep looking at your computer. Take a break. Go out. Recharge yourself, then come back to work at your computer. You will find yourself much more productive that way.

4. Drink water regularly. 8-12 cups a day at least.

5. Focus. Do one thing at a time.

6. Work first. Play, email, surf…whatever later (but don’t forget to take breaks).

7. Eliminate distractions when at work. That includes surfing, email, online messaging and making unnecessary calls.

8. Don’t be late for appointments. Keep a 30 minutes buffer.

9. When you feel bogged down with too many things…STOP! Clear your mind. Remove all the clutter. Meditate and breathe. When you are settled down, relook your goal/to-do lists and move ahead.

10. Aim for incremental improvement and successful. They add up.

11. Be SMART. Aim SMART. Think SMART. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Bound. Get it?

12. Ready. Fire. Aim.

13. Visualize success.

14. Study. Observe. Do.

15. Spent 60% of your time on putting money in your pocket (revenue-generating activities), 30% learning more, 10% planning the future.

16. Celebrate your victories.

17. Give back to society.

18. Focus most of your time on your core strengths. Outsource the rest.

19. Treat your friends, customers and strangers the way you want them to treat you.

20. You will never be totally done with work. So stop trying to keep going on and on and on.

21. Strive to create 10 times the value from the price of the product you sell.

22. Always try to sell more. Upsell, cross-sell, follow up.

23. Think of the 80/20 rule. Focus your effort on that 20% that makes you the most money and gives you the best result.

24. Quality over quantity. Anytime.

25. When you got good quality…then aim for quantity.

26. Create your business around your life.

27. Always track and measure your ROI.

28. Eliminate. Automate. Liberate.

29. Talk less. Listen More. Much much more.

30. Be less sales-sy. More genuine.

31. Network more. Good JV partners are extremely important to success.

32. Accept 100% responsibility. The buck stops with you. And you only.

33. Be slow to hire, fast to fire.

34. Stay resilient. Don’t quit.

35. Think in terms of “You”, “Your Market”, “Your Marketing”, “Your People” and “Your System”.

BUT Wait Up! There’s More…

BONUS TIPS:

36. Have faith and confidence in yourself. You control your own destiny!

37. Visit emoneymarketing.com more often. I heard a reliable source that it is good for you. =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

All success,

“Ready. Fire. Aim.” Now that’s a great tip for anyone doing business in the hyper-competitive world of the internet. Like anything, you can’t be successful unless you’re in the game.

I like your advise

Some great tips for the new year. I enjoyed reading it. Lot of people will get inspired by the list but the problem is whether they all will be able to continue these after 4-5 weeks. It is people’s nature to forget things easily. I wish it will not happen to me.

A nice post to start the year with. I truly agree with your 3rd point. Because recently i read an article stating that internet makes people addictive o surfing the web and being online. This creates an mental effect making your self too stressed and phycologically defectig your mind. And not only that this addiction allows your to avoid you to do works on others as well.

So i totally agree with your 3rd point, taking breaks time to time will give you mental relief. Great points.

Good luck!

IDK if I could do number 3 since my life is the computer haha. Not saying im a nerd but lets just say my work, home and life is kinda around a computer.

It’s a good exercise&diet Chart

great tips for success. About number 3 I change it with sleeping. Sleeping really are the most effective way to refresh memory. Hangout with friend could but sleeping do better.

Time management is the key.You need to know exactly what you need to do.When you have a schedule you will work more efficiently. You will be more productive than you would, if you work when you feel like it.
