I’ve always thrived on being a little bit of a contrarian.
Case in point…
I do a lot of stuff in my life and my business that most successful marketers disagree with.
For example…
1. I don’t wake up early
On an average day I wake up around 8 am.
This is when my body naturally wakes up.
I’ve tried the early-to-rise thing a few times (including last summer when I woke up at 6:30 everyday)…
But I’ve never been able to sustain it.
I just feel better getting up around 8, so I’m gonna keep doing that.
2. I spend a good amount of time on social media (with no monetary return)
I post a few times a day on Instagram.
And I like reading Twitter for sports and crypto news.
Neither of these things make me any money…
However, I enjoy doing them.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts on Instagram.
I enjoy browsing Twitter and seeing what’s going on.
Most people would say this is a waste of time…
And it might be in a purely monetary sense.
But I enjoy it.
3. I watch 60-90 minutes of TV nearly every night
For a long time, I never watched TV.
Why?
Cause I thought that dedicated entrepreneurs didn’t watch TV.
They read books.
Or studied courses.
So I did that instead.
Well not anymore…
I like watching an hour or two of TV at the end of the day to wind down.
It helps me relax.
And to stop thinking about business.
I also basically veg out on my couch for an entire day every Saturday during college football season.
I don’t care if I’m not being productive during that time.
I love college football…
And get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
So I watch it.
I could probably go on and on with this list…
I tend to do a lot of things that most marketers would disagree with.
But you get the point.
And kind of the big thing I want you to takeaway from this is that there’s more than one way to do things.
Some people thrive on getting up at 4 AM…
Some people love having a 12-hour day…
I don’t enjoy either of those things.
So I don’t do them.
You need to run your business (and your life) in a way that works for you.
That’s the key.
So keep that in mind.
And enjoy your Saturday…
