How To Get Ahead Of 95% Of Your Competition (Make These 5 Adjustments)
Every day, you have the opportunity to reevaluate your life and make meaningful changes.
But often, we get caught up in our routines and distractions. We forget to pause, reflect, and make the necessary adjustments that allow for advancement and progress.
Here are five key adjustments that can help you create a different life, a different business where you get ahead of your competition and move from surviving to thriving.
1. Adjust Your Mindset
The first and perhaps most important adjustment is to change your mindset. Our thoughts and beliefs have a profound impact on our actions and, ultimately, the life we lead. A growth mindset, or what I like to call a Continuum Mindset - one that embraces change and focuses on continuous improvement, can help you break free from self-limiting beliefs and propel you towards your goals.
To embrace a Continuum Mindset, try:
Challenging negative thoughts and replacing them with curiosity.
“I can’t…” to “I want to know how…”
“I don’t…” to “How can I I…”
Recognizing that setbacks are opportunities for learning and growth
Embracing feedback and criticism as valuable tools for improvement

2. Adjust Your Priorities
We often find ourselves stuck in life because our priorities are not aligned with our goals and values. Reevaluating and adjusting your priorities can help bring clarity and focus to your life, enabling you to make better decisions and take purposeful action.
To adjust your priorities, consider:
Identifying your core values and what truly matters to you
Ranking your priorities and eliminating unnecessary distractions
Creating a plan to allocate time and resources toward your most important goals
3. Adjust Your Habits
Our daily habits shape our lives, whether we realize it or not. Sometimes, it's the smallest changes in our routines that can lead to significant improvements in our well-being and overall life satisfaction.
Sleep is a huge one for me.
If I don’t sleep well, my energy is off.
I don’t eat well.
I don’t have focus.
I have more doubts.
I don’t have patience.
I get frustrated easily.
To adjustments your habits, start by:
Identifying habits that do not serve you and replacing them with healthier alternatives
Establishing routines that promote self-care and personal growth
Employing strategies to make habit formation easier, such as setting reminders and breaking goals into smaller, manageable steps
4. Adjust Your Relationships
The people we surround ourselves with greatly influence our thoughts, actions, and overall well-being. Cultivating healthy relationships and distancing ourselves from toxic influences can help create a supportive environment that nurtures personal growth.
To Adjust your relationships, try:
Evaluating the quality of your relationships and identifying any that are holding you back
Seeking out connections with like-minded individuals who share your values and goals
Investing time and energy into deepening existing connections that uplift and inspire you
5. Adjust Your Perspective
Sometimes, all it takes to create a different life is to view your circumstances through a new lens. Adjusting your perspective can help you see opportunities where you once saw obstacles and empower you to make positive changes.
To adjust your perspective, practice:
Embracing gratitude and focusing on the positive aspects of your life
Seeking out new experiences and challenging yourself to step outside of your comfort zone
Surrounding yourself with diverse perspectives and ideas, look to relate and assimilate
Choosing to create a new life can be a daunting task, but by adopting these Five Adjustments, you can start transforming your thoughts, actions, and relationships, leading to a more satisfying and purposeful life. Keep in mind that the journey of self-improvement is ongoing, so be patient with yourself and strive for constant growth and positive change.
