22 Ways To Become a Better You and Become a Better Entrepreneur in 2022

I look forward to each new year that comes around because this is my time to see how I can improve myself even more by dreaming bigger and achieving bigger things! I know, I know… The whole “new year, new me” is kinda overplayed and self-improvement can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with something small, and taking daily baby steps can make a huge difference over time. So I have created a list of 22 things that you can do in 2022 to become a better version of yourself, and by doing that become a better entrepreneur in your business!

But first, let’s take a look at why becoming a better entrepreneur through self-improvement is so important!

To be successful, you need to put yourself first. And as uncomfortable as it makes some of us feel, there is nothing selfish about putting yourself first! You know even in the airplanes they insist on putting your own oxygen mask on first before you help anyone else! YUP.. this is because you can’t pour from an empty cup! And this is true, especially as an entrepreneur! You spend a lot of time showing up for others and serving them, so it’s easy to not prioritize yourself in things like your sleep, your rest, what you eat, and so on… but NO MORE! Let me share with you simple self-improvement tips to help you upgrade your life and become a better entrepreneur overall!

1 Read a few pages of a book every day

Now you might think to yourself, how will this help? Well, you will not only learn more things, but you will keep your mind young and sharp. (#boustip : if you hate reading, try audiobooks!! Grab your AUDIBLE FREE 1-month trial here)

2 Make to-do lists

Make a list of the tasks you need to do that day and prioritize them by numbering them. This will help you stay organized and lead to more productive days. And being productive and consistent is the key to success.

3 Start listening to more podcasts

Podcasts are great because you can learn new things while you are busy doing something else. For example, you can listen as you clean your house or lounge around, or even when you go for a walk!

4 Set clear goals

Whether this is daily, weekly, or monthly goals, set some goals or milestones you want to achieve and work towards them. This is another great way to improve and better yourself because with each goal you hit (big or small) you will feel a sense of accomplishment and gain confidence in yourself to do and achieve more.

5 Stop being a perfectionist

By trying to do everything perfectly, I can assure you it’s one of the fastest ways to get STUCK from all the overwhelm! Sometimes you gotta accept being a novice or that you’re not gonna get it perfect the first time around. But remember what they say.. “Done is better than perfect”…

6 Email efficiency

Yes, I know. I think we all have a bad relationship with emails (I know I’m guilty at times), but let’s change that. Set an ideal number of times you are going to check your emails, and stick to it. This way, you are being efficient with your time by not getting distracted every time you get a mail notification.

7 Automating is your answer!

Lucky for you, you are alive in the 21st century where we have all the technology to make your life that much easier, so girl, use it! Automating repetitive tasks will not only make things easier, but it will also save you so much time and headache, and help you to be more productive so that you can focus on other important things, like spending quality time with people you love (Grab the FREE Ultimate Business Toolkit – all the systems and tools you need to set up and grow a profitable business).

8 Start saying positive affirmations.

Your mind is a very powerful thing, and as I’m sure you’ve heard, your success is determined by your mindset! And by keeping your mind positive, you can do, be, have anything! Say a few positive affirmations that resonate with you daily. Say them every morning in front of the mirror, and watch yourself become the main character in your life and business!

9 Trying something new

In order to grow, you need to come out of your comfort zone, and that includes trying something new! Here is your chance to start a new hobby, attend a new gym class, or even join an online community of like-minded entrepreneurs and bosses. It doesn’t matter what you do, just try something new that brings you joy! A little adventure never hurt nobody!

10 Stop comparing yourself

Yes, I know this isn’t easy and comparing yourself to others is normal because you want to be the best you can be. And all these people posting their #livingmybestlife online can make you feel kinda bummed at times. But hunny stop it! You are your own person, and you are unique, and that is your superpower! Focus on your own goals, your own success, and your own journey! Trust that your success is inevitable, and you can have it by being your authentic self!

11 Plan your day out in the morning.

To have a more productive day means you need to plan your day out ahead of time. Use a daily planner or even your diary and jot down what you need to do that day. Not only are you getting a bird’s eye view of what needs to get done, but you will also get more things done smoothly with less likelihood of forgetting important tasks! And there is nothing sexier than a girl who’s got her thing together!

12 Be grateful every day

Taking a couple of minute out of your day and thinking about the things that you appreciate in your life and that you are thankful for is a surefire way to uplevel your mood, make you feel happy and excited about all the magic and love in your life. This is also a shortcut to maintaining a positive mindset.

13 Journaling

Write down how you are feeling or thinking every day and what you are thankful for. Journaling is a great way of taking note of your milestones, epiphanies, and also of course things you’re excited about. This way, you are getting out your feelings and keeping a positive mindset. 

14 Take an online course

15 Have fun!

Improving yourself does not have to be boring and bland! Hunny, You’re allowed to have fun! As they say “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, and dull is not a good look on you!! So don’t just work and push, remember to enjoy the journey and allow yourself to relax! Let’s avoid burnout and overwhelm! So make sure to prioritize fun and joy as you work on improving yourself and your business. 

16 Track your goals

Yes, setting your goal is amazing but that’s not where it ends! That’s how goals get forgotten about, you gotta track it! Write down your goals and milestones, and track your progress, so that you can see that you are actually moving the needle and get ready to do your victory dance!

17 Volunteering

Although volunteering is all about others, you’d be surprised how much you can get out of it too! Find a place where you can share your skills, knowledge, time, or money to give back to others. And as you already know that when you share love, you receive more love! So why not give it a try!

18 Create a morning routine

Having a morning routine will help you start your day on the right footing so that you can have a day full of success! At the same time, don’t let social media fool you into thinking that the only way to be successful is to be up at the crack of dawn! All you need is the right actions that is good for your mind body and soul as first thing in the morning daily, so it’s best to keep it simple so that you can stick to it for more than three days haha!

19 Play brain games

Keep your brain sharp by playing games. Sudoku or puzzle are great examples of how you can use your brain and hae fun at the same time! It is something that stimulates your braind and challenge you while enjoying it all!

20 Take criticism well

There is always room for improvement! Take people’s criticism, learn from it and grow from it! When you hear what you can improve on, it motivates you and molds you into a better, stronger, and more successful person.

21 Stop complaining

You can use a journal and jot down some habits. By doing this, you are ensuring that those habits stick and lead to new habits. Let me give you an example; you try a new habit of going to the gym every day. After a month of going to the gym, it doesn’t feel like something you need to do; it becomes second nature. 

22 Expect good things to happen

It’s so easy to wake up and think about all that is tough and annoying i your life or in your day that you have to face. But what if you challenge yourself to wake up asking the question “I wonder what could go my way today?” . Starting your day off with a positive curiosity will set your midn to be alert to all the amazing ways life can work in your favor! And don’t forget to celebrate each little amazing positive surprise life throws your way
