How Good Habits Can Transform Your Life | Jordan Welch

Habits for Long-Term Success

Jordan Welch argues that consistent habits can shape long-term success, fulfillment, and day-to-day productivity. He shares practices that have helped him and habits he has observed among successful people.

• Wake up earlier and get active: Jordan says changing his schedule from staying up until 3–4 a.m. and waking around noon to sleeping around 11 p.m. and waking around 7 a.m. gave him more usable time, energy, motivation, and mental clarity. He often works out in the morning.
• Meditate: He recommends meditation as a way to be more present in everyday situations.
• Use “keystone habits”: Drawing on The Power of Habit, he describes keystone habits as regular practices that create positive effects in other areas of life. For him, waking early supports better energy and productivity and makes other habits, such as going to the gym, easier to maintain.
• Replace unhelpful habits: Identify routines that are holding you back, remove them, and replace them with constructive ones, such as reading, exercising, or meditating. Jordan says these changes can have a significant impact over time.
• Seek mentorship: Build a relationship with someone who is at or beyond the level you hope to reach, and consult them regularly.
• Read books: Jordan values books on self-help, entrepreneurship, and mindset. Reading lets you learn from knowledge an author developed over years.
