The habits are as follows: read 10% of a book per day, workout 5 times a week, wake up at 6am each day, look at two deals per day, do not eat out, put $10 a day away into stocks, listen to 20 minutes of a podcast, post on BP Forums 4 times a week, post on social media 4 times per week, and on average do 30 dials/texts per day to wholesale leads.
