Daymond John shares his daily productivity ritual
Daymond John
When  Daymond John  was 14 years old   his  dyslexia had yet to be diagnosed  and  he  only knew that  he  struggled with reading. But there was one book  Napoleon Hill's 1937 massive bestseller "Think and Grow Rich " that  he  not only happily read  but decided to re-read every year.
The main takeaway  he  had as a kid  the "Shark Tank" investor writes in  his  own book  "The Power of Broke " was to stop telling  himself  everything  he  didn't want to be  and instead focus on what  he  did want.  He  sustained this mindset through the practice of regularly writing down and reviewing  his  goals.
It was simple but profound  John says  and helped give  him  the drive in  his  early 20s to turn FUBU from a project with friends into a multimillion-dollar business. "I would write something down    think about  it   visualize  it   and work my way toward  it ."
Each goal is specific and worded in positive language. For example   John  writes that  he  currently has a goal of getting down to 170 pounds by July 4; rather than add that  he  will do this by avoiding fried foods  meat  and alcohol   he  adds that  he  will be doing this by regularly eating fish  drinking eight glasses of water each day  and exercising twice daily.
 John  reads through  his  list when  he  wakes up and before  he  goes to sleep so that  his  goals are the first and last things  he  thinks about.
 He  reads  his  goals an average of five days a week  giving  himself  some time to step back.
