How to Power Through the Day Without Any Sleep
We all know the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. Lack of
sleep can cause anxiety, irritability and affect your ability to retain
information, all impairing your productivity. But as all busy
entrepreneurs know, sometimes getting a full night of shut-eye just
isn’t possible, leaving you with no choice but to try to power through
the day on little rest.
Open your curtains
Getting exposure to light as soon as you wake up is important for giving you energy to kick-start your day. “Sunlight will decrease the release of melatonin, a hormone that makes us sleepy,” says Steve Orma, clinical psychologist and co-author of Stop Worrying and Go to Sleep: How to Put Insomnia to Bed for Good. To help fight that sleepy feeling, try working by a window or take frequent breaks to get outdoors. “Exposure to natural light throughout the day would help keep you more awake,” says Orma.Take a cold shower
Dr. Mark Kovacs says a 30- to 60-second cold shower stimulates adrenaline (your body’s fight or flight response), getting your nerves ready for the day.Breathe
Breathe in through your nose slowly for five seconds, then exhale through the mouth for two seconds. Repeat this exercise five times. “This works on simultaneously decreasing and increasing heart rate,” says Kovacs.Avoid having a power lunch
If you’re short on sleep, eating smaller meals throughout the day can help you sustain your energy. “When you’re already limited in sleep, taking any large meals is not a good idea,” says Kovacs, as eating a large meal puts a strain on your body’s organs, causing you to feel even more tired.Power up with protein
While it can be tempting to go for a coffee-and-donut combo, Dr. Jo Lichten, author of REBOOT: How to Power Up Your Energy, Focus, and Productivity, says a meal with 20-35g of protein will help to keep you more alert than a high carb meal which will simply give you an initial energy spike followed by an immediate crash. Eggs, Greek yogurt or a piece of meat about the size of the palm of your hand are good healthy options for a pick-me-up snack.Don’t fill up on coffee
Hanging around the coffee machine all day isn’t going to do much to give you sustained energy to make it through the day. While you may think gulping down caffeine will help you feel more alert, too much caffeine can cause you to feel jittery and anxious rather than focused. Dr. Lichten says 50mg to 100mg of caffeine is the optimal dose for alertness and focus. Opt for a short cup of coffee every four hours during the day, stopping at 4pm to prevent another poor night of sleep.Power up with a caffeine nap
You may not think caffeine and a nap go together, but experts say a cup of coffee before a nap is the key to boosting your brain power. Kovacs recommends ordering a double espresso, set your alarm for 25 to 30 minutes and take a nap. “Once you awake the caffeine will have started to work and you can push through the remainder of the day,” he says. The reason the caffeine-nap combo is so effective is that caffeine takes about 45 minutes to be absorbed, so taking a nap while the caffeine is making its way through your system allows you to awake when the alertness effect of the caffeine has kicked in.[source]

Dave's Comment:
A great article I think you'll agree.
Ultimately we all need to make sure we get enough sleep in the first place. I know that when I don't get enough sleep I am tired and always feel like I'm trying to catch up. When I finally do get an early night and sleep well, I often feel either fantastic in the morning or completely dreadful, as if I need even more sleep! The better the routine for sleep I find the more you are able to do the occasional late night with adverse after-effects.
Arianna Huffington has some great advice on sleep - search in this blog for more on that, or take a look at her books to get an idea on her philosophy on sleep:

5 Things to Do Before Bed That Will Jump Start Tomorrow #productivity #success
Being effective as an entrepreneur is often about hard work, but even more importantly it’s about smart work. Great entrepreneurs know that time is limited and valuable, so they need to make the most of each waking hour.
There are many factors that contribute to working smart -- but planning and proper sleep are among the top performance increasers.
To maximize your time and efficiency, here are five essential and easy things you should do before bed that will make help transform your waking hours into super productivity.
1. Take a look at your calendar. As the saying goes, failing to plan is planning to fail. By reviewing your calendar the night before, you’ll know what’s ahead for the day so you can be prepared and plan for the best method to tackle your objectives. You’ll sleep better knowing that you’ve already planned for the day ahead and you’ll rise in the morning knowing that you’ve already taken care of the leg work to get a jump start on the day.
There’s another old saying, “If you don’t use your head, you’ll end up using your feet,” and that proverb goes a long way for productivity! Come up with a strategy the night before on how to tackle tomorrow.
2. Get the gym bag ready. Whether you go to the gym, run in the neighborhood or walk your dog, have your exercise gear out and ready to throw on for when you wake up. Getting your clean clothes together and ready is a life hack lots of entrepreneurs use to minimize the risk of skipping their workout.
It only takes a minute to lay out your gear, but it’s a great shortcut for making sure you get your fitness in every morning. Taking care of your health is an important part of the entrepreneurial lifestyle.
3. Turn off your phone. Sleep is a crucial part of the successful entrepreneur’s healthy lifestyle. Once you’ve checked your calendar and you know what’s ahead for tomorrow, put the phone on silent or turn it off to ensure it doesn’t beep, chime or ring and disturb your REM cycle. Disruptions to your sleep will leave you tired and slow your performance.
To keep your productivity at its highest level, make sure you eliminate any hindrances to your sleep cycle. That email or text message can wait until tomorrow. Turn off your phone or put it on silent to ensure a good night’s sleep.
4. Write in your journal. No, not the “dear diary” kind of entries. Keeping a journal is a practice that can help you process the day and make sense of your thoughts. Keep your journal in the nightstand and every night take a few minutes to review the day’s triumphs and write down what you’re grateful for that day.
Don’t make this a boring, unthoughtful experience. Think of it as a nightly meditation -- just two minutes of reflection thinking about the day’s highlights and writing them down will transform your waking and sleeping thought. It’s part of a wealthy lifestyle to appreciate all the great things of the day: doors held open, great conversations had.
Whatever the highlight, list it and prepare your mind for great sleep.
5. Read a real book. One last thing to contribute to your good sleep is to read a quality book. You can decide what a quality book is to you, but reading before bed is a great way to make that final transition into sleep.
It will also keep you away from bright lights and electronics (hint: don’t read on your phone or tablet, the light might disrupt your eyes and affect your sleep cycle) and soothe your body into the sleeping process.

Tips to Structure Your Day #productivity
Some great tips here on tasks and productivity. One thing I try to do with my "to do" lists (I have lots!) is to redo them at night ready for the next day - it starts my brain with a clear idea of my goals for the next day, without overwhelming myself with ALL the items on my list. If I forget then I just do this in the morning - I pick the top things I want to get done today and concentrate on those until done.
Now sometimes, work, kids, life gets in the way - don't beat yourself up about this and worry that you don't have all the things done you wanted to - you need to be flexible and adapt - and the same is true for my "todo" lists - I adapt them and re-focus time and time again.
Some people I find are "morning" people and some are more "night owls" - I seem to like both strangely enough - I love the peace and calm of the late evening, but I also love the quiet of the mornings, before others are awake, or before other colleagues get into work. I seem to get a whole lot more done in this time than when I am distracted throughout the rest of the day.
You could try staying up an extra hour to get some things achieved off of your list, or get up an hour earlier, you might be surprised at the results. Maybe don't try both together (at first!) as you could deprive yourself of valuable sleep!
Another way to get organised is to get some help in the form of assisted help from mentors - and some online programs offer this - for example take a look at http://tiny.cc/morningritual and see if that's something that might help get you started to becoming more productive.
Have a great day, get some stuff done, but don't worry and panic about it. Life is for living, not just for crossing things off a list. That's what I have learned, sometimes you just need peace and quiet to think!
Love

Do YOU want Financial Freedom? #financialfreedom #money
A WEEKEND THAT COULD CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE!
DID YOU KNOW?
Most people NEVER become financially SUCCESSFUL and go through LIFE never knowing WHY
They remain blissfully ignorant about their financial future, keep on working & hope they have saved enough to retire.
The question you have to ask yourself is:
Is this going to be YOUR story?
THE HONEST TRUTH IS YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW GOOD OR BAD THE ECONOMY IS OR YOUR WORKING INCOME - THAT'S EXTERNAL.
The root of the problem is INTERNAL.
We ALL have an internal MONEY BLUEPRINT that determines if we'll be struggling our entire life to scrape by or if we attract wealth to ourselves.
Unfortunately, like most people, you'll be stuck with this blueprint for the rest of your life UNLESS you change it!
That's what you'll learn to do at the MILLIONAIRE MIND INTENSIVE. During this 3-DAY EVENT, you'll discover areas in your life that have been holding you back financially and learn ways to change them - right there, right then!
Don't just take our word for it. BE THERE and experience it for yourself.
Click on the event links below - some of them even have "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" offers at the moment, and some have FREE TICKETS AVAILABLE, so act fast before these offers expire!
More dates will be added when I have the details!
All the best,
David

Tai Lopez 67 Steps Training Program Summary
"HOW I WENT FROM BROKE TO BUYING A LAMBORGHINI"EVERYBODY WANTS THE GOOD LIFE, BUT NOT EVERYBODY GETS THE GOOD LIFE... THE MORE YOU LEARN THE MORE YOU EARN!
The average American makes $51,017 a year yet is $225,238 in debt… As they say in poker, “if you’ve been in the game for 30 minutes and don’t know who the sucker is, you’re the sucker.”
You never want to be the sucker.
Imagine if you could have back the years you have wasted dating the wrong person; get back the money you lost on bad investments; take back the lost decades you spent in the wrong career.
The greatest wish of every human is to have their wasted years back, but how?
I asked myself many years ago, “If there aren’t 3 steps to get whatever you want, how many steps really are there? And if you can’t get success overnight, how quickly can you actually make a big change?”
Like the self-made billionaire Warren Buffett says, “You only learn from mistakes. But they don’t have to be your mistakes. It’s a hell of a lot easier to learn from the mistakes of others.”
Start by asking yourself, are you so excited about life that you can’t wait to wake up? Not many people are.
Click here to watch the FREE introduction video and to claim your spot!
INVEST IN YOUR OWN BRAIN. DOUBLE DOWN ON YOUR MIND.
Since I was 16 years old I have traveled to 51 countries, read thousands of books, been mentored by 5 people (three millionaires and two closer to the billion dollar level). Started or invested in over a dozen multi-million dollar companies. I regularly charge training, coaching, and consulting anywhere from $1000 up to $1,000,000 per year.
My collection of principles, thoughts, and sayings has grown over the years. The problem now is that when I try to refer back to all this wisdom, the list has become too long and too hard to sort through.
I narrowed the list down to a more manageable number. I chose the number 67. That number’s based on new research by the University College London that found it takes about 66 days to form a new habit. So I added one more for good luck & came up with 67…
These Steps came from the teachings of powerful and famous people like Bill gates, Charlie Munger, Peter Drucker, Gandhi, and my personal mentors. Some are from my own personal experiences as an entrepreneur and from in-person meetings with some of the greatest minds around the globe.
These 67 Steps will be your guide to avoiding the pain of a wasted life.
THE 67 STEPS GIVES YOU INSTANT ACCESS TO THE FOLLOWING:
- The "67 Steps" Program to The Good Life: I want to shave years off the painful learning curve to find The Good Life and accelerate my goals
- Video Archive Vault: I get immediate access to over 100 hours of videos Tai recorded specifically for the Twice-a-Month Coaching Calls where he reveals the key secrets found in the 150 most important books on achieving The Good Life
- VIP Membership to Tai's Exclusive Twice-A-Month Live Coaching Calls: I will also get direct access to Tai to get my questions answered
- Book-Of-The-Day Premium: I will receive the "Book-Of-The-Day" premium video and audio summaries. Now I am getting his personal library of premium book summaries not available anywhere to the public
- Super Bonus Content: I get immediate access to the one-time bonus material including: Investment Secrets; Speed Reading Wizardry; Access to the Private Facebook Social Networking Group; and Tai's App List
DOWNLOAD THE IDEAS FROM THE GREATEST MINDS
My goal is to change the world and I know that by making these 67 Steps essentially free I will reach a wider audience.
The 67 Steps are not a get-rich-quick scheme, although I am sure they can make you richer than you’ve ever imagined. You will not lose 30 pounds overnight, although you can use these steps to get in the best shape of your life.
One of the most common questions I get is, “Tai what is the best investment I can make?”
Warren Buffett made $60 billion dollars as an investor in dozens of different industries but he still says, “The Most Important investment you can make is in yourself.”
You are probably already imagining the new and exciting life you are about to embark on. I say go for it. Let your mind wander and imagine the possibilities that fear has locked away from you for so long.
As the great UCLA basketball coach John Wooden said, “Be quick but not in a hurry.”
Start immediately on these 67 Steps, don’t procrastinate. But also understand that these are deep concepts designed to rewire your brain.
Because once you do (and I’m counting on you to do this), it will be a good life for you…
Stay strong,
Tai

Article: The 7 Forces Of Business Mastery
1. Know where you really are. Create a business map to get from where you are to where you want to be.
2. Constant, Strategic Innovation. All business fundamentally comes down to 2 core things. Marketing and Innovation. These are the only 2 things that make money in any business.
3. Constant and Never Ending Improvement of World-Class Marketing and Product Promises. Your products and services must be the best.
4. Constant and Never Ending Improvement of Sales Mastery Systems. Do you use a system to succeed?
5. Constant Anticipation for the power of financial and legal analysis. Most people don't pay attention to this until it is too late. Every successful business needs advisers for legal and financial issues.
6. Constant Optimization and Maximization. Draw out the experience your customer goes through and see where you can add more value to this process. Most people are blind to advertising because we are bombarded by it. People will remember the experience they have and how they felt after interacting with you.
7. Constantly Create Raving Fans and Culture. People are going to keep buying and will stick around. Remember your best customer is your current customer.
Now ask yourself some quality questions. Listed below are the exact questions Steve Jobs asked his team when he revolutionized Apple.
1. What business are you in? Their first answer was they were in the computer business.
2. The next question was, what business are you REALLY in? We are actually in the business of connecting people with their greatest passion.
3. What business do we NEED to be in? We are in the computer business, but we NEED to be in the music business. This is when the iPod and iTunes were created. These same questions then led them in the iPhone business.
Now ask these questions of yourself. Why did you get into your business originally? Why are you in it now? Every business needs 3 types of people to be successful.
1. People Who Are Entrepreneur Minded
2. Managers and Leaders.
3. Artists To Implement Your Concepts
If you personally don't have all these qualities, team up with those who do. Implement these 7 forces, ask yourself critical questions, and watch your business flourish into what you dreamed it would be.
