8 Effective Morning Habits to have as an Empowered ECommerce Entrepreneur

As an ecommerce entrepreneur, our online store is globally active for 24 hours a day, 7 days per week for 365 days. Therefore, there are numerous activities happening around the clock that require our attention. We want to respond to all the customer requests as fast as we can so that we don’t lose that customer in the sales funnel. However, in order for us to give our best to the online store, we need to first establish robust and consistent morning habits. As Tim Ferriss says, “Win the morning, so that you can win the day.” 

The power hour, which is our first hour after we wake up, is the most crucial one of our day. During that first hour, our brain chemistry is different early in the morning due to the tranquility of our surroundings.

Here are 8 robust habits that you can incorporate into your morning to build success into your life.

  • Wake up at the same time every day, preferably between 5am to 6am. According to Robin Sharma, “waking up at 5 a.m. will give your brain the advantage to succeed throughout the day.” By waking up at this time, the external noise is so quiet that you can hear your inner voice. It will provide you with the right guidance you need for your business.
  • Take a moment to express gratitude for a new day ahead where you can make an impact on someone’s life with your business. This helps to create a positive mindset for the entrepreneur to succeed.
  • After brushing your teeth and washing your face, drink a large bottle of water. This will help hydrate and energize your body after many hours of sleep.
  • Sit in silence, where you can either meditate, take deep breaths, visualize your business goals or even look out the window. This habit will give you the opportunity to connect within. It will bring you the clarity and calmness that you will need to face the day.
  • Write or journal all that emerges from this silence, such as ideas, reflections or gratitude. For example, you can write down that you are grateful for the positive feedback that you received from a customer.
  • Say affirmations, read uplifting quotes or listen to a positive podcast to reinforce a positive entrepreneurial mindset.
  • Plan your day by writing only 3 top priorities that you want to focus on that day. For example, you need to find a new supplier for a product, or be the best ecommerce mentor. This will also help with your decision making so that you are not wasting your time on the non priorities. 
  • Move or stretch to get the blood circulating and oxygenating the body.

You can do these habits in any order that works for you. The main goal is to establish a consistent morning routine that empowers you to reach your full potential. You will have more clarity in mind to deal with customer issues, more energy in your body to be productive, more profound creativity to tap into.
