What you DO NOT get done in your business matters and is probably the reason you are stuck at the level of success that you are. Many entrepreneurs are job-preneurs (still work a full-time job while working their business) and solopreneurs (may work in their business full-time but without the support of a team). Both can be hard, but what if I told you that some obstacles may be hard and some unfair, but it still takes what it takes to be successful in business no matter your obstacles? Your business is still the byproduct of how you show up in it. This is why what you routinely do in and for your business is the biggest secret to business success. That’s right routine!
Routine of Mind. How we think really is an untapped power for most of us. Your mind is the command center of your life and business. The thoughts you cultivate, the beliefs you hold, and the mindset you maintain directly influence your decisions and actions. A strong, focused mind is essential for navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship. By establishing a routine that nurtures creativity, thinking, clarity, and resilience, you equip yourself to face obstacles head-on. Daily practices such as goal setting, prioritization, and the influence of those ahead of us in the journey can transform your mental routine, setting the stage for success. Remember, the way you train your mind will shape the way you run your business. What do you know needs to be routine for your mind?
Routine of Spirit. I define spirit, not as religion, but as what fills you to drive your purpose. Your spirit fuels the passion and purpose behind your business. It’s what drives you to keep going when things get tough and inspires you to dream bigger. Cultivating a routine that connects you with your deeper purpose, whether through meditation, prayer, or reflective practices, helps you stay aligned with your “why.” A nourished spirit not only keeps you motivated but also allows you to bring authenticity and heart into your business, making it more than just a job but a mission that you’re deeply connected to. What do you know needs to be routine for your spirit?
Routine of Body. Yes, your physical body. Your body is the vessel that carries you through the entrepreneurial journey. Without a healthy, energized body, even the sharpest mind and most passionate spirit can falter. Establishing a routine that prioritizes physical health—through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate rest—is crucial for sustaining the energy needed to run your business. A well-maintained body supports your mental and emotional well-being, enabling you to show up as your best self every day, ready to tackle whatever comes your way.

Routine of Business. Again, what you don’t get done in your business matters. In fact, if you were to write a list of the things you are NOT getting done in your business, you would have written the list revealing the path to your next level of success. Yes, it can be hard. Yes, there can be not enough hours in the day. The other routines are to support the weight of what needs to be done in your business for success. Your business routine is the practical foundation that keeps everything running smoothly. This includes the systems, processes, and habits you develop to ensure consistency and efficiency in your operations. Whether it’s setting aside time for strategic planning, adhering to a marketing schedule, or regularly reviewing financials, a solid business routine ensures that you are not just working in your business but also on your business. It’s the routine that turns your goals into actionable steps, making success not just a possibility but a predictable outcome. What do you know needs to be routine for your business?
