What do your routines and life look like outside of work? (Particularly those with >$2m in revenue) (alien.top)

Hi all!

Just interested in getting to know what routines look like for entrepreneurs outside of work and if they attribute some of their habits to their success. What I mean by this is, some people swear by methods like cold showers or morning routines or waking up early vs night owls and say that this helped them achieve their goals.

Additionally what are your hobbies? Do you play and strike deals over golf/tennis at the country club like they show in the movies? Or do you just continue to do whatever you were doing before becoming a successful entrepreneur?

I'm just curious about those who have built something substantial (I'd say achieving a few million in revenue is much harder than a few hundred k which could be done through hustle and a bit of know how I'm any small business like a restaurant or spa etc), hence the >$2M request although happy to hear from anyone with insight on this.

Thanks!

There is no One Formula. You have to find what motivates you, what provides you what you need.

My schedule and hobbies now are different than they were when my kids were still living at home. I have the luxury of working out out every morning and commuting by bike, all of which helps me feel great but would not have been possible when caring for kids. I'm just getting back into my favorite hobby which I won't mention because it's a pretty small field and would out me. But it takes time and money, which again, I am fortunate to have now.

For me, being able to regularly exercise (cardio, weights and HIIT) is a huge part of helping me feel good, as is eating fresh foods. But again, when the kids were at home, time was scarce so those things often were abbreviated. You do what you have to do to get by at the time.
