I’m not here to offer you quick financial hacks to become rich overnight. I’m neither a financial advisor nor a health expert. Instead, I share insights from my personal journey, focusing on what has proven effective for me and what has not. The best investment you can make is in yourself, as your health is crucial for facing each new day.

While I often find myself running rather than engaging in structured workouts, I do incorporate some stretching before or after my runs—though I admit, it isn’t a regular practice. As you progress with your running routine, the risk of injury increases. This happens because your body is adapting to a new baseline. It’s beneficial to switch up your running routes frequently. If possible, invest in multiple pairs of running shoes; they can make a difference.

It’s vital to allow yourself rest days between running sessions. What works for me may not suit you, but the key is to discover activities that keep you active—whether that’s running, cycling, swimming, or other forms of exercise.

Consider this: you might have your financial and social life in check, yet still neglect your health. I won’t tell you what to eat or drink, or which routines to adopt. It really boils down to finding the time to get up—whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening—and go for a run or engage in some exercise.

Even though I’m not particularly fond of running, it’s what has been effective for me. I struggled with weight gain in 2018/19 until a friend pointed out that I looked fit but had a noticeable belly. That prompted me to take action, as I realized I had a clear goal to work toward.

I resumed my running routine, and now my clothes fit much better. I don’t frequent the gym; instead, I enjoy running various distances—sometimes 5 km, 10 km, or even long runs of 21 km on weekends. I’ve experimented with push-ups, but I found that running creates a balance in my body, engaging all my muscles.

I’ve committed my limited time to maintain my health, ensuring I can return to work feeling fit, energized, and ready to tackle the day.

I’ve often wondered how those who pride themselves on being hustlers manage to prioritize their health. Many claim they can’t afford to sleep, equating it with laziness. However, rest is vital for maintaining good health. To prevent burnout amid all the hustle, it’s essential to incorporate workouts, exercise, or even a short run into your daily routine.

Your health is paramount, especially when sleepless nights may come as you brainstorm new ideas for your business or navigate family matters. A healthy couple is typically a happy couple. Therefore, it’s crucial to invest time in your daily schedule for exercise, running, or simply taking walks.
