What is one habit that has made a  crucial-difference in your success?

I believe it is so important to begin every day with a morning routine. So each morning, I wake up before the sunrise to get a workout in, as it helps me to start my day with a boost of energy and positivity. I also set the tone for the day by creating a clear action plan on what I need to accomplish in the day ahead.
