26. Burn the midnight oil.

If you can’t get your work done without averaging at least seven hours of sleep, you’re doing something wrong. Use the Pareto Principle to cut the fat and focus on primary tasks that move you forward and then eliminate, delegate, and outsource everything else.

27. Take no vacations.

Wealthy people who are active in their own businesses take more vacations than typical workers. This goes back to the Pareto Principle.

28. Have a packed daily schedule.

You need an effective schedule. An overly packed schedule will burn you out and harm other important areas of your life.

29. Sacrifice your health.

Physical health improves your focus and energy, both of which increase the odds of success. Not to mention that it’s harder to get it back once it’s lost. Make sure you set aside time for physical activity. It will increase your energy and make you more effective.

30. Sacrifice your family.

Proper use of time allows you to focus on what’s important. There are many opportunities to involve family in various aspects of your life. Kill two birds with one stone by exercising with your friends and family or including your loved ones in your weekly reflections and goal setting sessions.
