The biggest key to success in business is organization and delegation. Making lists, putting items on calendars, developing systems, finding good people to do tasks, etc. It sounds like you understand that. Praying is part of mental and spiritual wellness, which is also important. Of course praying doesn't get the work done. God helps those who help themselves.

Hi, Centhia & welcome! I've worked on developing daily habits not only to help with my investing, but to help with life in general. First and foremost, I meditate every morning. This has more to do with my health journey than anything else, but it absolutely helps with every aspect of my life. I use the Ziva method, which can be as short as a 5-10 minute meditation that ends with a manifestation. Sometimes that manifestation is about a life goal and sometimes it's about a business goal, but it's important to train your brain to think "I have 10 rental properties that have allowed me to quit my job" rather than "I want 10 rental properties that will allow me to quit my job." Luckily, I've worked from home for the last 10 years so I'm able to set my own schedule which allows me to get in some exercise first thing in the morning. This gets my blood oxygenated and jump starts my brain (I also take a Lion's Main supplement for brain health every day). Beyond that, my husband and I do a quarterly business retreat where we get away for a weekend where we can focus on our business goals with no distractions around. We've tried to do it from home and we always succumb to distractions so we're now very strict about making sure we get away to do our planning. In our quarterly retreat we set goals for the next quarter and we check in on our progress against last quarter's goals. Inevitably, there is a to-do list and a time chart that comes out of our quarterly retreat so I check my progress against my to-do list every day and that keeps me on track. Some of the to-dos are very tactical, like 'schedule checkup with CPA.' But some are more aspirational, like 'analyze at least one deal per day.' I set that last one as a personal development goal because I want to be able to quickly analyze a property with or without the use of a calculator. By doing it every day so far this year, I find I can already do many calculations in my head that I previously would have had to use the BP calculator or other tools for.

Anyway, that's what I do. I'll be interested to see what others say because I always pick up good ideas from other folks here on BP. Wishing you success!
