Many businesses use systems and repetitive processes to support their success. Repeatable processes are efficient and make it easier to run and grow a business. Similarly, successful people have daily habits that allow them to achieve more and succeed in what they do.

Everyone has different habits that work for them. Consider applying the following habits to help make your make your business a success.

1. Continuously define success for yourself. What does success mean to you – making $100,000 per year, selling X units per month, being able to sit on a beach twice a year? Establish metrics so that you can measure and define your success, and then compare your results against those metrics.
2. Always continue learning. Improve your skills and knowledge through courses, articles, books, webinars, etc., both inside and outside your industry.
3. Keep your eyes and ears open for popular ideas and trends, as well as what is going on behind the scenes. Don’t go after every new idea – focus on one or two and be the trend setter in that area.
4. Be persistent. Don’t stop trying when you hear “No.” Each “No” is one step closer to the next “Yes.” Also, don’t just go for what is easy. Difficult paths have less competition.
5. Be generous. The more you give (such as referrals), the more you get. Giving leads to healthy relationships.
6. Use new technology to automate processes, attract new clients and provide better customer service. You don’t have to spend a lot on technology to achieve significant returns.
7. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Take your work seriously. Treat your business like a business, but relax your view of yourself.
8. Prioritize your customers’ needs over your own. Focus on what they need as a solution rather than what you want to sell.
9. Create a list of tasks to do on a specific day, organized by priority. Accomplish those goals. Every little win is a move forward.
