Habits

In my experience, there are two kinds of habits - survival and growth. You need to cultivate both to become a successful entrepreneur.

Survival habits are things like proper sleep.

It may seem as though survival habits happen as a matter of course - but that's not the case. A lot of people are not even operating in basic survival mode - they don't have habits that ensure adequate self-care that will support an entrepreneurial path - which is high intensity, high stress.

But there is a level beyond. That adoption of growth habits.

Growth habits are those that push you past your comfort zone and take you to the next level of personal mastery. Growth habits are those that grow your overall capacity to live a better life in every way - they lead to transformation and breakthroughs, not just incremental change.

Reading regularly is a growth habit.
