I love me some little-known facts.
Check this one out:
Little known fact: 12% of all Coca-Cola in America is drunk at breakfast.
I bet my American friends loved that one!
Don’t worry my American cronies, here in Australia, 12% of all beer is drunk at breakfast.
The result?
The average American struggles to squeeze into their car, and the average Australian struggles to open their car door.
It all evens out, right?
Whatever.
Now, let’s talk about morning routines for a moment.
What’s your morning routine?
Are you an early riser or do you repeatedly hit the snooze button to keep the day at bay?
Do you workout in the morning or do you rely solely on coffee?
Do you check your emails and read the morning paper?
Do you listen to music or the radio?
Hey Kelvin, what do you do in the morning?
Gosh, I thought you’d never ask.
Well, upon waking I stagger to the kitchen a make myself a coffee which I have with a buttered piece of banana bread (delicious). I then check my emails, and a few other biz related things, and often I will watch a bit of TV to relax. I dunno, I wake up a little stressed.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit the first hour of my morning ritual is pretty lousy, but once the caffeine has kicked in and my stress level has dropped, I do something that I recommend every biz owner on the planet (those with access to a computer and the internet) should do.
Here’s what I do:
I promote my business!
That’s right; I write a promotional email to my list of subscribers first thing.
I can hear some of you now: “But I don’t have the TIME to write a promotional email in the morning.”
Listen, anyone who says they don’t have the time should stop pretending they want success. If someone truly wants to succeed in business (or anything for that matter), they will do whatever it takes.
Even get up (Gasp!) earlier to market their business.

P.S. I remember once telling a friend of mine that I wanted to get really fit. He suggested I run for half-hour a day as he does. Guess what I told him? I told him I don’t have the TIME to run half-hour a day. I guess everything just comes back to priorities, doesn’t it?
