What's the first thing you do every business morning?

Will, how you start the day sets the tone for the day. 

I check emails, news, and blog, that is 6:30-7:30am.

Breakfast, prayer and read the Bible.

Now I'm set for a power filled day.

Good morning Will,

I came over from Kathy's post this morning from her "Ah-ha" moments and glad I did. I time block which is my saving grace in this business. Having systems in place to facilitate a number of touches monthly to past clients and sphere has really made a difference in my business and market share. Glad to hear you have a system it makes all the difference in the world.

The first thing I do every morning is sit down for 30 minutes and read a business book.  It sets the path for the rest of the day.

I have now added active rain to my morning routine of coffee, writing letters to past clients and Craigslist.  

The very first thing I do every day is to send a card to my past clients or people within my SOI.  This is a great way to build your business and stay in touch in a unique way.  Building Referrals One Card at a Time

Will -  I am glad Kathy highlighted you because  you have given a powerful message.  I love the power hour.  I think that getting the most important things done first thing is crucial.  I consider the most important things those that have the greatest impact on my business.  For me they would be similar to your list.

Make the coffee and then boot the laptop to see emails, the morning news and then try to get a glimpse of AR

Will: you are correct. We all seem to have a morning routine. Often the key to fine tuning for success is to have an unbiased party review our activity to see if greater efficiency and return can be gleaned. I am just as guilty, but fortunately, my partner, Sandy keeps me in line.

It sounds like we are very much like the rest of you...email is usually the first item on the list

Agree that setting goals/making checklists and sticking to them is critical. Personally, I first need my coffee in the morning and some kind of work-out - tennis, weights, stretching or yoga, to get the day started.

Will, the first thing I do is check my traps. Basically  checking my email to see how many new sign ups I have or see if someone has any questions. 

Anyone interested to get 1000 cash buyers from any area you wish or 1000 Vacant Sellers? Contact me for more informatio

Thank you for the reminder how important it is to develop a routine for success.

Great idea/ strategy will. I wish you the best of luck.

Great post, and an excellent routine Will.  A POWERHOUR could make a huge difference in my business, I needed a good reminder to get me back on track.

I do the same routine day after day without fail I just love systems 

Good morning, Will!  Think it depends on the day, but I try to start the day with catching up on emails and making sure I begin to tackle the "to do" list.

Will, this is a great blog and very inspirational.  I like the Power hour idea.  Congrats on the feature too.
