Morning routine versus an evening routine… which one is more important?
Experts all over the world have been touting the benefits of having a strong morning routine if you want to be successful. The early bird get the worm, right?!
So, whether you’re into eating worms or not (I did see a kid do it when I was in elementary school) I think you’ll discover today that success isn’t about what you do in the morning, it’s really about what you do the night before.

It’s simply the small things that you can add in or adjust that can generate some big changes. So, click play, enjoy, and take advantage of the tips that speak to you!
