This goes out to the the new members that can't wait to start their business (me included): How often do you brush your teeth? And how consitent are you with that daily task?


If that answer reveals a bad hygene for your teeth, I have some bad news for your business:


How do you expect to create a successfull business and a successfull mind if you can't even brush your teeth consistently?


Yes, there are excuses as "I'm tired right now" or "I rather watch tv", but as I read so far in the businessworld you are going to face the same excuses! Situations will be even worse, the task suddenly dont last 3 minutes but 3 hours or days!


And I hope you understand that this post is less about clean teeth but more about performing a daily habit. It takes literally less than 15min over the whole day and yet people miss it (me included, ups).
Or take 'making your bed' if you don't care about your teeth - if you want to learn completly new skills you are much likely going to face worse situations than doing that boring task again and again.


TLDR: If you can't keep up the habit up brushing your teeth (15min daily), how do you expect to create other habits (that take up way more time)?

If you think I'm completly wrong with this one, you are most likely right since I have no experience yet. I just "dreamed" while thinking about skipping my toothbrushing and had to stop myself.

Thanks for reading :)
