You have to create sense of restlessness, that someone is after you & you always want to be on the move and have to stay ahead of them. Because, this belief that tomorrow is more beautiful than today, is the key to move on.

Schedule for your personality:

Routine your life & mix it with what you love to do. Don’t stuck into 9 to 9 job or one thing type of business. Because, this may serve your purpose temporarily, but in a long run it may destroy you, your energy, your passion, your health etc. Therefore, schedule around yourself with anything like self meditation, music time, walk, reading etc. This will fix your personality & aptitude.

Hire well:

Three must have to consider while hiring peoples; integrity, intelligence & energy. All must be there in a person, there is no trade off in between them. Say one is intelligent & energetic but don’t have integrity then, there is high risk of fraud, lack of transparency & continuous surveillance.
