Getting ahead in life is full of challenges. From a young age, we get told to; Go to school. Get a good education. Get a good Job. Work Hard. Retire. The same information gets given to us from generation to generation. There's little information provided to us on How to Get Rich. How To Retire with Money.

I have got all the answers either but I can certainly help point you in the direction of what to focus on while you chase your dreams.

Where We Get Stuck

We tend to get into the same routine day in and day out. Let's think about it. You wake up, shower, grab the soap with your right arm and probably place it on your left arm and start to cleanse yourself. At night, you have one of the same dinners you have from the last 2 weeks. The average family have 11 meals they tend to go to with slight variations.

We have the same routine at work. Coffee at the same time. You go to the gym at the same time and probably have a relaxing wine at the same time on the weekend. My point here is we get stuck in a pattern of no change. This is why 98% of us retire broke.

Change the cycle.

1. Have a Plan.

First off turn off the TV. It's one of the most time-consuming things every person does in the evening. You have 8 hours at work. 8 hours sleeping, make sure the next 8 hours are not wasted watching other people achieve their dreams.

Use this time to make a plan. There is more opportunity to make a difference in your life than ever before in history. Think about it. 20 years ago, if you wanted to sell something to make money you needed a shop. Today, your shop can be online, you can sell globally from the comfort of your own home.

A friend of mine recently started selling Ice Baths. He had no idea on the concept of what to do so he started to take that 8 hours of downtime in the evening and do some research. Today, 6 months after starting his online business he is earning a nice (nearly full-time income) alongside his full-time job.

His plan was simple. Learn how to start an online shop, import ice baths, understand Ice Bath Benefits and sell the concept to others.

2. Stay Hydrated.

Staying hydrated is important but not in the literal sense. I'm referring to 'always on' and' always learning'. When you want to get ahead in life, you need to learn what other successful entrepreneurs are doing. Learn online skills, learn how to write content for users to engage in. learn social media and how to engage audiences, learn as much as you can. There are free courses that teach you all of this.

There has never been a time in history when you have as much opportunity to get ahead in life as there is today. Capitalise on it.

3. Keep Up With your Brain Boosting Nutrition

It might seem like a farce but it's not. Staying motivated comes from good nutrition. Have a burger, chips and sugary coke and see how you feel an hour later. Consequently, have a salad, protein and water and see how you feel.

If you're a gym goer and you start to see results, you get encouraged. If you start an online business and you make a sale, you get motivated. If you eat healthy, you stay motivated, plus the side benefit is...you just may well live longer.

If your nutrition is good and you feel great, you get motivated. I've been an advocate of good nutrition for over 20 years now, and as a Nutritionist, I firmly believe the best motivator is yourself and you need to first be the change that you want to be, and feed the mind with the right food and supplements.

The challenge we're faced with, unfortunately, is we can't get our full spectrum of nutrients from food alone. Given our agricultural practices and chemical spraying of foods, we're challenged with the uptake of good nutritious food. So supplement well to pick up the shortfall.

Eat organic where possible, although I know that this is cost-prohibitive at times, try to exercise to get the blood and oxygen flowing, and supplement your diet.



I recommend a brand that spends millions on R & D ensuring the end product is superior so remember to take your USANA Supplements and ensure you stay within the routine. 

The Final Word

I was told once when at a conference, in life you get knocked over by one or two life-changing opportunities, the problem is, the average person just gets up, brushes themselves down and keeps on walking.

Don't be that person. Take action, seize the moment, and don't lose sight of what you want to achieve in life. Be the best version of yourself to others and pay it forward.
