But while it sounds great in theory, what does it really mean in practice? And how can you become a master? Here are some quick tips.

1. Connect with your life vision

To set your running pace, you must first determine your pace vision of life. This includes your professional identity, purpose, values, mission and goals, as well as five areas of your personal life: spiritual, physical, social, business and financial. Once you have this framework, you'll create a plan to execute on those goals, which is what pacing is all about.

However, it is more than a collection of habits. Instead, think of it as a repeating pattern of habits created with great goals that are right for you strengths and weaknesses to help you achieve your important business and personal goals. It will help you connect your days and weeks with your life vision in a balanced way that helps you achieve your goals. If you ask me, it beats the chaos that most entrepreneurs settle for.

2. Set your own pace of execution

Now, let's dig in on a practical level. Your running pace is the essential pace breakfast, daily and weekly activities that guide your goals in the five areas of your life. In other words, it's a process of intentionally designing days and weeks that are exciting for you.

As you stack these days and weeks on top of each other, you tie them into your monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals. Then, you connect those annual goals to your three-year goals, which, you guessed it, lead up to the 10-year and lifetime goals in your life vision. The three most important pieces of execution pace you need to achieve are your morning mastery, your weekly profit, and your quarterly withdrawal. If you master these, your business and life will be transformed. Here's a little more about each:

• Your morning master is where you wake up early and nourish your mind, body and soul.
• Your weekly earnings include designing the winning weeks you like, in which you evaluate the previous week and plan the next week.
• Your quarterly withdrawals are where you take the time to evaluate the short term and connect it to the long term. They are your bridge from day-to-day execution to long-term execution.

3. Make it exciting

If you're an entrepreneur, your eyes may already be glowing. Look, I understand. Most of us we started our businesses because we hated structure and wanted to answer to no one but ourselves. That's why you need to make your running pace something you enjoy, something that's exciting and pulls you in every time.

If you rely on discipline to get through this, good for you, but it will break. Instead, aim for desire over discipline. I have lived this personally. I love my routine. I love the things I do because I make them fun, exciting and rewarding. There is a payoff in it. Why wouldn't I? By the way, that's why it's called a rhythm and not a routine. Nobody wants routines and routines. No one wants stiffness. So it has to be something that keeps you on track, but does so in a nice and nice way.

4. Eliminate excuses

Whenever I talk about morning mastery, I get a lot of backlash from people, mostly the refrain that “I'm not a morning person, Clate.” Well, here's the deal. Owning your morning is what's proven to be successful, and I'm just the messenger.

However, you don't have to wake up at five or six o'clock if they crush your spirit. If you're not a morning person, you still can own your earliest hours getting up a little earlier than usual. Invest in yourself and get up 10, 20, 60 or 90 minutes earlier than you used to. You can even create different versions of your morning craft and make whichever one you find time for on a given day. Just make it happen – and see if it doesn't change your life.

Mastering your execution pace is essential to crafting the life and business you envision as an entrepreneur. There is no single recipe for what exactly you should do, but the principles here are solid and tested and will get you far.
