Dear
I can't tell you exactly how I started this or why.
I've just been doing this for years.
Probably close to 10 years.
"Mike, what are you talking about?"
Good question amigo.
This is a habit that, if you 'live', will pay huge rewards
for you.
You'll grow in so many ways.
Personally.
Financially
Your relationships.
And more.
Hold on.
Before we go forward.
Too many people are looking for the 'homerun' before the
'single'.
Stop that. I've never seen it work for anybody.
Daily steps. Baby steps. Tiny steps. Good things will follow.
This leads me to the success habit I want to share with you
today.
For years, I've done this.
Here it is.
***Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up.
Let me say it again.
***Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up.
It literally disgusts me to go to bed the same person I was
when I woke up.
I need to learn something.
Make a new mistake.
Create a new victory.
Read 5 pages in a book.
Do something that moves me forward.
We were born to grow. To develop.
If you're serious about success, don't let a day go by
without progress.
***Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up.
If you grow 1% a day, where will you be in 30 days?
What about 1 year?
Imagine that progress.
Grow daily. Focus. Be active. Persevere.
Those are the types of seeds you want to be planting.
***Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up.
That's a success habit that will pay off for you in a big,
big way.
Love Ya! You're The Best!
Your Coach,
Mike
P.S. I share success tips on

Feel free to check it out.
Sounds like good advice Mike.
I've worked to make each day different and improve myself little by little, until one day I wake up a great person.

Fantastic tip, Mike!
Awesome in fact. "Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up".
There's always something we can do to stretch... to grow.
Thank you for sharing such wisdom!

I enjoyed reading this, gives me something to think about.
Thankyou,
Leah
what a great thought process to remember during the day to guide you to seek out the change to make the difference. You are the Greatest!! Love ya, PatG
Hi Mike,
As usual, you are right on the money, I love that tip!! I have been talking about you a lot lately and sharing with people some of your simple but hugely effective ideas and insights.
This evening I am going to read 5 pages of a book that I pick at random and look for the message. In addition to thinking about what I've learnt today, before I go to bed I'm going to ask myself 'who I want to be tomorrow'.
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate hearing from you.
Here's to peach snapples and fantastic success!

I think over 90% people (in my country - Poland) are passive in their daily living, by for example watching tv. Like R.Kiyosaki says: "they do not do their homework". This is why many people are not rich, because you get richer at home, not at work - in your free time. We must ask yourself: How do you spend your free time?
It's a good idea to do it (grow) with small steps, like Mike wrote. When you stand in front of the stairs you sometimes do not see what is on the top of the stairs. You must take a one step (two for more fit people), by step to get to the top.
Love Ya Mike

Mike, thank you for this special piece of advice. Definitely in 30 days I will be totally different indeed by growing 1% a day. I promise to continue being your great fan and to read all your educative articles in future. Andrew
You always have such great counsel, Mike! I think it's a blessing to say you have changed in some way each day... and I can't imagine it not taking place in some form or another. Still... back to your simple advice - one step, one day at a time! THANKS!
Sendin love & blessings your way,

Mike,
Great stuff! I'll share a good internal dialogue tweak I heard recently. If you feel yourself saying "I wish...", try switching to "I am grateful for...." For example, you are in a traffic jam and you find yourself saying "I wish the idiot that caused this back-up..." to "I am grateful I am not the one that just wrecked my car to cause this back-up" Hope this helps youand others.

What a positive habit that is Mike.
If more people understood that their daily habits are either propelling them forward or pulling them backwards, they would pay closer attention to them.
Change your habits, you will change your life.

Thanks for this simple and profound piece of inspiration, Mike. Sometimes the simple things are really the most critical to our success.

We often focus on the big picture and while this is critical, it important to take action each day in order to move towards your goal.
“Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up†makes the idea of taking small steps each day concrete and actionable.
Excellent insight - thank you!
Hey Mike,
Great advice, and I will start tonite.
I never got a chance to mention how inspiring you were last July in Texas at Vic Johnson's Claim You Power Now Seminar.
Thanks,
Darren
Mike,
I have done this for about a year now. Thanks for the reminder.
Mickey
Thank you so much for sending me this message. To tell you the truth, I've seen your e-mail to me several times, but never bothered to open it.
Thanks, Mike,
Your words were so simple, yet filled with profound wisdom!!!! Thanks for your tremendous support and encouragement. This habit is something I will implement in my daily life!
So simple, so deep.
I love the 1% growth per day ... what a year can bring! That goes for anything that we do. Small baby steps in a fledgling online business will take you closer to paydirt. Small baby steps on the treadmill will bring you closer to a svelte body. The examples are myriad. Thank you Mike.

Hey Mike,
A week will go by whether we do something with it or not. Thanks for helping me remember that we don't have an infinite supply of weeks and we would be well-advised to do something with them.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Mike
Thanks for this lovely tip. Just like the saying" A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step", a wise suggestion will work this fact to read atleast 5 pages of the book each day towards a new me in next 30 days and next 1 year. I can see whats possible of the new "JN". Best regards, JN, India
Hey Mike,
I appreciate your encouragement. Thanks for the call to
grow daily and to not get too comfortable.
Mike,
As usual you nailed it. I like that saying. Thank you Mike.
Your tips and passed knowledge over the years have been a source of inspiration. When I don't have your messages, I wonder what has happened?? Are you OK?? Have I been deleted from your list, and then I get another incredible idea and action to be put into practice. Thanks, HAPPY NEW YEAR, and GOD BLESS
Thank you,I never thougt about how I go to bed and how I wake up.I will improve my life a little each day from now on......
Thank you.
Thank you,my friend patience has been my friend.
I have been used this habit for 30 years of my life and it's rewarding in a big way.
That's the second time in less than 5 minutes that I've read "Daily steps. Baby steps. Tiny steps. Good things will follow." The other one was my note from the Universe which read "Baby steps spark miracles, Rob."
Thanks Mike
Mike, You are AWSOME.
I had this epiphany about a month ago.... events are taking place moment to moment, how I respond to them are my responsiblilty, no one else but me determines the outcome.
Every level of income/success demands a different you, different habits and actions.
You are soooo right. To enjoy the fullest in life, you have to grow....if you stop, you rot!

Good advice: "Never go to bed with the same person you woke up with."
I wish I had known this years ago....

Great advice Mike. We must always remember that our minds are ever wanting to learn computer within itself. We must alsways want to expand our thinking and be ready for change each day.
Great thinking which will leads to great person, i enjoyed reading your words.
That sounds great Mike, "Never go to bed the same person you were when you woke up" i've always been doing that and i'll continue to do. Thanks for your words of motivation. I love you.

Mike,
"Sounds good to me!"
I never want to go to bed knowing I will wake up as the same person.
I was made for greatness.
PS. It's been a long time.
Hope you are doing well.

Bingo Mike!
Just what i felt I was missing! After 16 hours of being awake and so much happening in between the next sleep bout, why not be different? I am certainly going to minitor the daily progress of this guy who happens to be me! Thanks Mike!
Hi Mike
Wow! I am so grateful for reading this post. Such a simple philosophy. But one that will change our lives.
Thank you for sharing.
Learning...Enjoying...Sharing
That's right Mike! I personally like to learn a bit of this book and a bit of that blog or ebook. When I read a book , I literally cover it with annotations, stars, highlights, etc. then I go back and read these again. Besides, I try to write everyday too.
You probably should not "post" this comment !!!
WOW !!! --So many people "unhappy" with themselves !!! WOW
I (THINK ...maybe...maybe) I understand what you mean (there is alot there to think about) ! and I think most of the previous "posts" follow your GOOD INTENTIONS ... but ... WOW !!!
So much self-doubt/anger (for lack of a better Term ?) Do "we" really hate ourselves so much ??
I could "play" with this for hours but..I won't
))
If even 1 person reading your message is "helped" I will never argue ... after 50 plus yrs of "learning" I know how little I know and how much more I would like to learn.
I do know that your premise of improving oneself each day is a very very simple but VERY powerful concept !!!! Good Luck and Best Wishes to Everyone that actually tries !!!!
Mike these are great words of advice avoid being stagnet at all times
Wow!
This is mega!
Thanks Mr Mike for this classic nugget
