The 10 Habits That Separate Winners From Dreamers
Let me ask you a hard question: Why do 97% of people stay stuck while 3% break through?
It’s not about intelligence or luck. It’s about habits.
As a founder who’s built multiple 7-figure businesses, I’ll share the 10 non-negotiable habits that transformed my life—and how you can use them to dominate your field.
1. The 20-Minute Power Review (Daily)
- Every night, write:
✅ What worked (3 wins)
❌ What failed (and why)
📈 1 lesson learned - Why it works: Your brain rewires while you sleep. This habit compounds clarity and adaptability. Most people repeat mistakes because they don’t reflect.
2. Kill Complaining (Forever)
- Swap “Why me?” for “What’s this teaching me?”
- Pro mindset: Every obstacle is a stepping stone. Complaining equals surrendering power.
3. Execution Over Perfection
- Ideas are worthless without action. Launch fast, refine later.
- My rule: If a task takes less than 2 mins, do it immediately. Momentum beats procrastination.
4. Build a “Money Notes” System
- Only record business insights:
- Pricing tactics
- Customer psychology
- Unusual marketing angles
- Use tools like Notion or Obsidian to organize. Bonus: AI tools (like Damo) can analyze your notes and extract gold.
5. Relationships = Value Exchange
People only care about two things:
- Emotional value (make them feel seen/heard)
- Practical value (help them earn/save)
- Stop wasting time on drama or toxic ties.
6. Ignore Opinions (They’re Noise)
- Critics don’t pay your bills. Your results speak louder.
- Fear of judgment? Ask, “Will this matter in 5 years?”
7. Read to Earn
- 30 mins/day on:
- Biographies (learn from winners’ mistakes)
- Psychology (master persuasion)
- Industry reports (spot trends early)
- Key: Apply one idea weekly to your work.
8. Attack Life (Don’t Wait)
- Passive people beg for opportunities. Active people create them.
- My tactic: Reach out to 3 potential mentors/clients daily. Even 1 “yes” changes everything.
9. Teach to Learn (Feynman Method)
- Can’t explain it simply? You don’t understand it.
- Action: Start a 5-min daily podcast or chat explaining what you learned.
10. Weekly War Games
- Simulate business battles:
- “If I lost 50% of my clients tomorrow, how’d I recover?”
- “What’s the cheapest way to test this product?”
- Why: Anticipating problems makes you uncrushable.
Final Boss Habit: Own Your Shit
- Blaming others = victim mode.
- Taking responsibility = CEO mode.
- Example: Lost a deal? Ask, “Where did I misread the client?”
The Harsh Truth
Most people won’t do this. Too lazy. Too scared.
But you? You’re different.
