How many of you want to level up your life? Let’s start with a round of applause for yourselves—because recognizing the need for change is the first step!
Here’s some great news: you don’t need to make drastic changes overnight. All it takes is small, consistent 1% improvements every day. Over time, these tiny efforts compound into something extraordinary.
So, are you ready to commit to your 1% today? Let me hear you say it—louder!
Here are 10 powerful habits that can transform your life, one small step at a time:
1. Choose Your Company Wisely
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
If you surround yourself with people who focus on negativity or avoid growth, you’ll find yourself heading down the same path. Instead, choose friends who motivate and uplift you. They should inspire you to stay focused on your goals and embrace positivity.
2. Network with Purpose
We’ve all heard the saying, “Your network is your net worth.” But it’s not just about meeting people—it’s about meeting the right people.
Are you on LinkedIn? If not, start today. LinkedIn is a goldmine for connecting with opportunities, mentors, and future employers.
3. Make Reading a Habit
Want to level up your brain? Start reading.
Warren Buffet spends 80% of his day reading.
Bill Gates reads 50 books a year.
Elon Musk devoured books for 10+ hours daily as a child.
Begin with just 20 minutes a day and gradually increase. Books can sharpen your mind, broaden your horizons, and unlock new opportunities.
4. Be ‘Hard to Reach’
Ever feel like you’re losing time to distractions? That friend who calls just when you’re trying to focus?
Learn to say no. Protect your time like it’s your most valuable asset—because it is. Being "hard to reach" during crucial tasks helps you stay focused and in control.
5. Set Deadlines for Yourself
Deadlines aren’t just for school or work projects—they’re a powerful tool for personal growth.
Promise yourself to complete something by a set time. It could be finishing a chapter of a book, tackling a career goal, or even a fitness milestone. Deadlines keep you accountable and consistent.
6. Stop Mindless Scrolling
Social media can be a black hole for time.
Ask yourself: If I’m not earning from this platform, why am I spending so much time here?
Replace endless scrolling with activities that truly add value, like learning, building, or relaxing in meaningful ways.
7. Create a Solid Morning Routine
Your morning sets the tone for your day.
Incorporate the S.A.V.E.R.S. method from The Miracle Morning:
Silence (meditation or prayer)
Affirmations
Visualization
Exercise
Reading
Scribing (journaling)
A purposeful morning brings clarity, energy, and focus to your life.
8. Understand Your Chronotype
Everyone’s energy levels peak at different times of the day.
Discover your natural productivity rhythm and align your tasks accordingly. Save high-energy periods for important projects and low-energy times for simpler tasks.
9. Reflection: Stop, Start, Continue
Take a step back and assess:
Stop: What habits are holding you back?
Start: What new habits can you adopt?
Continue: What’s already working well?
Reflection helps you adjust your actions and refine your growth journey.
10. Form Good Habits
Good habits make life easier.
When habits become second nature, they free up mental energy for other pursuits. Start with one habit, like exercising or journaling, and stick with it until it becomes routine. Then add another.
Transforming your life doesn’t require giant leaps—it’s about making small, consistent improvements every day. Those 1% changes add up to extraordinary results over time.
Stay committed, keep growing, and remember to surround yourself with people who push you forward.
Here’s to your next 1% improvement. Let’s do this together!
