out of the way these five things
honestly I followed religiously day in
and day out to make my first million
dollar and by the way I'm not going to
sit here and pretend that if you follow
these five things you're just going to
start making money out of nowhere no you
need the right business Mall you need
the right vehicle you need to actually
find out what way is the best way to
make money for me because we're all
different so I'll go ahead and leave a
link down below to the updated 2024
version of the best business model to
follow this year I go ahead and I
compare a bunch of different business
models out there and I tell you which
one is the best one to make $10,000 a
month online because you can pretty much
make your first ,000 with any business
Mall there's many many business mods but
what is the best one to make $10,000 a
month online in profit consistently so
once you finish watching this video and
you know exactly The Five Habits that
you need in order to become a
millionaire well then you can go ahead
and watch that YouTube video and get an
understanding of what business model
works best for you in your scenario so
the first habit that helped me make my
first million doll is laying out my
clothes the night before crazy I know
like what a shocker listen before you
try to downplay some of these stuff ask
yourself it seems simple am I doing it
because more than likely you're not why
is it that when you're in the Army you
lay out your clothes the night before so
that way you can spring out of bed and
you don't have to to think about
anything and that's the exact same I
actually have two sets of clothes laid
out I have my gym clothes so I have okay
I'm going to wake up and I'm going to
train in the morning and listen
throughout the years as I became a
millionaire and then a multi-millionaire
and then a Deca decamillionaire I've
tried different things I've tried
training at night I've tried training in
the day I've tried training midday I've
sometimes I train twice a day you know I
mix things up but to make my first
million I train first thing in the
morning every single day so I would have
my gym training stuff so that way when I
woke up because when you wake up it can
be cold a all the time you know I grew
up in London so it's cold dreary you
don't want to get out of bed and
anything that mentally stops you or any
little piece of extra thinking you need
to do in the morning is very dangerous
so that's why go ahead and lay out your
gym clothes the night before then when I
came back from the gym I actually had my
next set of clothes laid out which is
just my normal day-to-day working
clothes for you maybe that's your office
clothes your uh school clothes whatever
it is the point is it is your uniform
for the day you know whether you have an
online business or whatever stage you're
at with your career it's your uniform
for the day I really can't explain how
important your morning is and that it's
a very fragile time of the day for you
you really need to be careful about
making too many decisions first thing in
the morning you know everyone famously
knows that guys like Mark Zuckerberg um
uh Steve Jobs they pretty much wear the
same thing again and again every single
day so that way it eliminates decision
fatigue you know they don't need to
think about what clothes should I wear
today and by the way I think you should
have maybe not that same philosophy but
where it's the exact same but just
simple stuff I just have you know if I
don't have any meetings outside the
house like for example for today I just
wear a simple t-shirt some trousers and
some shoes and that's it it's just very
easy stuff to put together I don't
really need to think about it so
eliminate as much decision fatigue as
possible lay out your clothes the night
before and trust me I can tell you
especially if you have a tough time
waking up I feel like even just laying
out your clothes is just an anchor to
yourself it's just like you've made a
little micro promise to yourself yeah
I'm going to wake up tomorrow and I'm
going to train because I've already laid
out my training clothes it's it's like
that first commitment point now the next
habit that helped me make my first
million dollars was planning out today
the night before I don't care at what
time of the day you sign off maybe for
you you know you sign off work-wise at
6:00 p.m. and you're not really going to
think about work the rest of the night
maybe you know that you're going to a
nice dinner you're enjoying whatever it
is but the point is when you finish up
with your office work you know whether
that's you're starting an online
business and you know that you're
finished with your work blocks for the
day I want you to sign off in whatever
way that works best for you you know
I've tried a bunch of stuff I've
assigned my non-negotiable tasks for the
next day which is just one or two things
that I have to do non-negotiables and
then three to five nice to haves but the
point is if I finish those one or two
non-negotiables the entire day is a
success in my mind so I've done that but
not scheduled you know hour by hour and
then I've gone to the point in the past
where I've scheduled literally hour
blocks you know I'm doing this every
single hour and I follow a strict sort
of hourly schedule things will change
for you as time goes on you'll find the
flow that works best for you you know
these days I just set my one or two
non-negotiables and then the nice to
haves because my schedule is always
moving and I started my first
entrepreneurial Adventure 10 years ago
at this point so I really trust myself
to know how to sort of morph and change
my schedule depending on whatever the
day can throw at me so as I said whether
that's written on pen and paper whether
that's in the notes section of your
phone or your computer whatever works
best for you there's no right or wrong
answer here the point is when you finish
up your work for the day go ahead and
plan the next day there's some crazy
things that happen while you sleep and
there's some crazy things that happen
overnight your brain is going to sort of
mle over and your brain subconsciously
is going to start thinking about the
problems and problems I mean that in a
positive way the challenges the puzzles
that you have to go through the next day
and how you can do it as efficiently as
possible so plan the following day the
night before and that leads perfectly
into the third thing that helped me make
my first million dollars and that is
never ever wake up and not know what
you're going to do in the gym as a
workout and that kind of ties into
planning the night before the night
before I would actually plan my workout
now these days in the morning I do a lot
of tennis I do boxing you know I have my
coaches my one-on-one coaches so they
kind of lay out my full protocol I don't
need to do too much thinking there but
yeah really it's very very important
that the night before you already know
what you're doing in the gym once again
this all kind of ties into the fact that
your brain is going to be stimulated and
it's going to start thinking okay I need
to do this tomorrow I need to do that
tomorrow and it's going to start working
in the background and in my experience
it's not going to be a thing that keeps
you up or you have tough time sleeping
it's just there and your mind's kind of
working in the background to already
start as I said solving some of these
problems thinking about the workout how
things are structured etc etc so as I
said night before or at a minimum at
least when you wake up in the morning
plan out your workout just make sure you
don't go in the gym you're in the gym
you're looking around you know oh what
do I do because training takes willpower
and that's already Zapped half of your
willpower for the next day now the
fourth thing and this was massive for me
and still to this day is massive is turn
your phone on airplane mode I actually
know which one of my friends turn their
phone on airplane mode because half the
time when I message them it doesn't show
it's delivered it just shows it's sent
and for me airplane mode is a very good
sign that someone respects their time
it's a very good sign that someone
understands that listen I'm going to
affect the world I don't want the world
to affect me now if you're in a line of
work let's say for example you're a real
estate agent where you need to be on the
phone talking to people 24/7 this that
like I'll be honest I'm on calls maybe
hours a day on my phone talking to my
leadership groups inside of my different
companies but obviously I'm in a
fortunate position where I've been
running my businesses for so long where
I kind of decide when we have the phone
call but as I said I empathize that for
some people they do need to you know
they really do make money from their
phone and being uh accessible quite
often and you know really being
accessible to other people but for the
people that aren't protect your time put
your phone on airplane mode and you know
even if you do make your money from
being accessible at a certain point
let's say even just for your workout
just your workout alone you know let
that 30 minute 45 minute 60 Minute 90
minute whatever it is let that time be
your peaceful time put your phone on
airplane mode relax leave it give 100%
to what you're doing so yeah I remember
uh probably the first few few years that
I started my my first serious business I
had my phone on airplane mode half the
day and I actually had two phones and
these days I have definitely a lot more
than two phones you know these are just
some on my desk I have quite a few more
in my vaults but back then I had two
phones and you could even do like a an
iPod Touch in an iPhone and I used to
put my phone on airplane mode and
anything else that I needed for example
audible uh Spotify while I was working
out uh even access to Uber I would just
have that on the second phone or you
know as I said you could do iPod touch
or whatever it is that works best for
you and I would have that as my
additional thing where essential
Services I could have on that and then
the other phone could just be put away
and once I was done with my serious work
the non-negotiables for the day then I
could access my other phone so by the
way the whole idea of airplane mode is
really just protecting your time
safekeeping your time and making sure
that you are your priority and that's
really what I did when it came to social
media advertising platforms obviously
the first real business that I had was
an advertising agency that I had for 6
years and you know I always used to tell
people around on me you know even in
movies the drug dealers will say you
know never use your own product I always
viewed social media and the internet
like that like I want to be someone
who's benefiting from this and not
someone else benefiting from my
attention and that's why turning your
phone on airplane mode that's why
limiting your social media use is just
so so incredibly important now the last
habit that helped me make my first
million and I know this sounds simple
but I know that 99% of you guys don't do
this drink one liter of water first
thing in the morning and make sure that
that water is by bedside or somewhere in
your room so you don't procrastinate
because this is something to this day I
still struggle with uh for me just
drinking water is just so boring so
tedious that's literally the reason for
one of my company's big day where we
have a line of hydration products
whether that be our can for our
electrolyte sachet but yeah the point is
drink water first thing in the morning
and also make sure preferably to put an
electrolyte packet in there I'm not even
trying to plug my product because it's
sold out and I don't really know when
it's going to be back in sock so whether
it be a big b day electrolyte sachet one
other company or what I used to do back
in day is just a little sprinkle of sea
salt and sometimes I'd squeeze some
lemon in there as well but the point is
as you're drinking you know so much
water first thing in the morning just
try to get a little bit of salt in so
that way you actually retain the water
because a lot of times you'll drink the
water but because you've lost so much
sweat people don't realize how much
sweat and salt you lose while you're
sleeping whether it's warm whether it's
cold it doesn't matter you still sweat a
lot while you sleep so it's really
important just to get a bit of sodium in
the morning people don't realize the
water that we drink these days they've
stripped out all of the minerals and
everything from it so as I said drinking
water is not enough you have to
remineralize it and as I said whether
you want to use electrolyte sachet or
literally just some cheap sea salt and
sprinkle that in there the point is
first thing in the morning make sure you
are hydrating properly and as I said I
know this sounds so simple but up until
a year ago and literally creating a
brand new company just to make a product
that fits my needs I even struggled with
this so that's really the fifth and
final thing well actually you know what
I'm going to say one more thing about
this most you guys are banging so many
coffees first thing in the morning
you're you know you're having a double
espresso a venty cold brew blah blah all
this that won't do anything you
need to hydrate first you need to drink
first you need to just drink some water
first get some fluids in your system so
ladies and gentlemen those are the five
simple habits that made me a millionaire
and by the way I want to be very honest
with you guys I have to revisit these
habits all the time and even my life
because obviously as you go further and
further along your journey you know each
phase of your life demands a different
thing from you there's um you know in
your free time go watch go watch the
Jeff Bezos interview he did in 2023
where he basically broke down his life
and a lot of it he said is oh I wake up
and I just kind of like hang around for
a couple hours I just read newspaper I
eat breakfast I go for a walk like I
just float and I think also he woke up
at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. like even me I wake
up at 9:00 a.m. because I'm on call
sometime until 2: or 3:00 because most
of my employees are in America so with
time zone issues living in Dubai you
know I'm not the perfect ideal spitting
image of wake up at 5:00 a.m. Club wake
up at 6. am Club I am doing the thing
that makes sense for my current stage in
my career and my life and you are going
to need to adapt and mold and do the
same for you you know there was points
in my life I used to wake up at 5:00
a.m. used to wake up at 6:00 a.m. but no
matter how my schedule changes or the
traveling or this or that the one thing
that remains true I must continue and
follow these five habits that actually
help me make my first million to make
sure that I sustain it so ladies and
gentlemen on that note I hope you enjoy
