Daily habits that will help you succeed in the industry

1. Stick to your schedule. This sounds easy, but this is probably one of the hardest things to stick to when first starting especially when you’re learning all new lingo, software, etiquette, and skills. Even if your schedule feels all over the place, stick to it for at least 2 weeks before changing it up. When you start having more free time, you will naturally feel like you want to relax. If you want to be successful, push through that feeling and start working.

2. Wake up and be early. If you have states in the east coast, this is the best time to start working them. If you don’t, this is the best time to plan your day and week, reset your work space, get a workout in, meditate, or study your script or underwriting guides. Whatever you do, start building a new habit early in the morning. Show up early and ready.

3. Select a personal development book and read at least 5 pages of that book everyday until you’ve completed it, then, find another and start over. Sometimes the information in these books will help you realize something in your skillset you need to work on and hit you harder than your trainer could. If you feel that pull, go with it. If you feel bored, finish the book and find another. Stop trying to skip steps!

4. Move and fuel. Get some type of movement whether it’s walking to 15 minutes a day, getting a full workout in, or even sauna. Move your body. This work won’t be easy and isn’t always fun. Move your body to reset your emotions, clear your mind, and get a win for the day.

5. Remove obstacles and say daily affirmations. Stop making excuses on why you can’t pick up the phone today and just do it. Showing up is the first step and sometimes your own mind is what’s stopping you. Remove any obstacles that’s stopping you from being successful whether you stop smoking, drinking, binge eating, or self-sabatoging, recognize what’s stopping you and remove it.

6. Get ready every day. Show up presentable everyday. It’s not required, but it is expected that you show up on zoom with cameras on every day and unmuted once you get someone on the phone. Show up presentable because even if the client can’t see you, they can feel when you’re unprepared. You are the one directing the call. You are the professional. Act like it.

7. Contact your mentor every day. If we don’t hear from you, we will assume you are not interested in working. Be in contact everyday. Let your mentor know your wins and some pain points from the day.

8. Get rid of your scarcity mindset. No negativity allowed. Stop worrying about other people’s situations. Focus on watering your own grass. Everyone starts off somewhere.

9. Post wins daily. Whether they’re your wins or a teammate’s, post everyday. This will help build interest in the business and build your confidence in sharing the opportunity.

10. Practice your script. Look at your script. Even if you feel like you have it memorized, not every conversation is a lay down or predictable. Be ready always.
