Was there a secret I was missing?

<h1>The 7 Secrets of Success</h1>
<h3>Wake Up Earlier</h3>
Starting your day earlier has obvious benefits. You're literally getting a head start on those who are willing to wake up later.
The main reason that people wake up later is that they go to bed later. However, the time before bed is often used for trivial things such as watching TV or Netflix.
By falling into these habits, you're losing hours of time each day that could be used for more productive things.
I have started getting up at 5am. By the time my housemate has gotten out of bed, I've showered, had breakfast, exercised, meditated, cleaned the house, done some work.
Over a long period of time, these head starts make a huge difference to your life.
<h3>Meditate</h3>
Meditation is something that is finally being accepted by mainstream society.
Benefits of meditating for just 10 minutes per day include reduced stress, reduced anxiety, improved concentration, and improved mental health.
<h3>Exercise Regularly</h3>
Exercise is a great way to stay healthy and feeling young.
It also helps with relaxation, anxiety reduction, and improved quality of sleep.
If you want to be successful, it will certainly help to keep your activity levels up in the gym or at home.
<h3>Create To-Do Lists</h3>
Trying to remember all of the things you need to do throughout the day as you go along is draining and can lead to procrastination and reduced productivity.
By creating to-do lists with small goals, you can create order in your day, and get more done with your time.
Completing small goals throughout the day adds up to a lot of productivity over time.
<h3>Read More</h3>
Time away from work can be used for good and the not-so-good. Rather than switching on the television after work, try reading instead.
Fiction books can help to clear the mind, but self-help, autobiography, and other non-fiction books can increase your knowledge, and encourage you to perform better in your own life.
Knowledge is power.
<h3>Meet New People</h3>
'Networking is like currency for successful people'. Not only will you make new friends by networking, you'll also find new opportunities in your business life.
Having the right contacts can give you an edge over others, and it's a great thing to be surrounded by a support network.
You can meet new people at social and business events, or even by simply speaking to people who share the same interests.
<h3>Control Your Finances</h3>
An easy habit to get into is overspending. Whether it's buying necessary coffee and snacks on the go, or splurging on materialistic items, it's important to take control of your finances.
Spend as you currently would for a month, and write down everything you buy. At the end of the month, have a look at your spending list and highlight unnecessary purchases.
By actively removing these items, you'll save a lot of money over time.
