Ep 265: How to choose a morning routine that actually works for YOUR life

If I had a nickel for every time I came across another guru claiming to have discovered the most meaningful, useful morning routine that will help everyone in the world become as successful as an Amazon CEO, I'd be as rich as an Amazon CEO.

The truth is that there is no such routine, because everyone's life is different. We're all coming at the day in different seasons, from different circumstances and with different values. Our morning routines should fit our life and today, I want to give you a step-by-step process to choose a morning routine you can stick to.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• How to set yourself up for success before the day begins.

• Why you don’t have to wake up super early in order to create a routine that works for you.

• A simple step by step approach to creating a morning routine that fits your season of life.
