It takes courage to be a leader, but even if you have fears that have kept you from leadership roles thus far, it doesn’t mean that you can’t overcome them and achieve positions of leadership.

Other decisions you must make may be monumental and require the courage of a lion. A decision to quit a high-paying job to follow your life’s dream is a major decision that takes courage – and planning.

Leadership in today’s world requires new leadership values. No longer is a leader simply a person who can make a good photo op and inspiring speech. Today, a leader faces challenges with huge political, economic, and environmental consequences.

Does your morning routine consist of staying in bed as late as possible while barely making it to work on time? Getting the day off on the wrong foot can negatively impact your entire day. Imagine how different your life would be if you had a morning routine that ensured a good day, instead!

If you’re like most people, your morning probably goes something like this:

Alarm goes off.
Hit snooze (3 times, at least).
Lie there and think about how much you don’t want to get up. Or maybe you think about how much you dislike your job.
Shower.
Get dressed.
Run out the door with a granola bar (or nothing) in your hand.

How can you expect to have a great day when you have a morning routine that is disjointed, harried, and unhealthy? A good day requires intentional preparation and a solid foundation.

Consider these ideas when developing your positive morning routine:
