12 Tip #2: Remove Distractions and Interruptions That Can Plague Life

13 Tip #3: Be Aware of Sabotaging Habits No one is ever completely free of self-sabotaging habits, which is why it s important to be aware of your tendencies. When you are aware of your sabotaging habits, you can easily spot them - and stop them - from distracting you from your success. Whether you create procrastination, overwhelm, emotional crisis, physical exhaustion, relationship drama - or a host of other common habits - you re creating self-sabotage. Achieving your goals becomes a lot easier when you can spot troublesome habits, and consciously and quickly get yourself back on track.

14 Tip #4: Get Clear on the Why When you get clear on why (or the reason) you re working on any particular task, you can intellectually grasp whether you really need to be doing it at all or having someone else do it. Try this exercise: Ask yourself, Why am I doing (insert task)? If your answer isn t a good enough why, you know you shouldn t be spending your valuable time on it.

20 Tip #8: Ready-Set-Go! For intense task completion, use a timer and set it for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Using a timer allows you to create a game or healthy competition against the clock - giving your focus and energy an edge. You d be surprised how much you can accomplish when you create a fun or somewhat competitive environment. "A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." - Charles Darwin

21 Tip #9: Do What You Do Best, and Delegate the Rest Continually ask yourself, Could someone else do what I m doing, if I just assigned it to them, told them how, or gave them a process to get it done?

22 Tip #10: Leverage Your Peak Energy Ask yourself, When is the best time to get the best result for the various activities you do each day? "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." - Robert Kennedy

23 Tip #11: Eat Healthy for Real Energy Being an entrepreneur requires real energy; sugar, caffeine, and processed foods only offer a false energy and the afternoon energy crash can be severe. Reduce or eliminate sugar, caffeine, and processed foods as much as possible, while boosting raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains to maintain steady and consistent high energy. Some studies suggest having a small snack/meal every 2-3 hours.
