How to spend your time in the morning: a tip for financial success

Some people wake up early in the morning, while some others sleep till late. Guess what all successful entrepreneurs get up early in the morning. Some successful entrepreneurs get up by 6.00am, some are even up by 5.30am. You should get up before Fajr prayers to do Tahajjud prayers, and make supplications to Allah. Tahajjud prayer is not obligatory. Managing your time in the morning effectively and efficiently could become an habit over time once you start managing it. Now I sound like an expert on time management. I just carried out a research which I learnt from and I am delivering it.

Do you know some Chief Executive Officers spend 30 minutes in morning running. It gets them fully prepared for the day. We have 24 hours in a day, 6-8 hours should be spent sleeping, 8 hours is spent working (not everyone, some people work part time or more hours) if you have a regular job (9am to 5pm). Thus, you have 8 free hours left. I am not going to tell to plan every single hour of your day that will be boring. Make sure you do your 5 daily obligatory prayers (Fajr, Zhur, Asr, Maghrib and Isha). Please spend some time doing something spontaneously.

If you are up by 4.30 am in the morning, you should have 4.5 free hours. You should spend at least 30 minutes praying to Allah (be conscious of the time for Fajr prayers). 20 minutes spent on exercises (they run, you do not have to run, just have a form of exercise), 40 minutes bonding with your family if you live with them, like you might have to cook and have a chat or cater to your kids and spouse if you have kids and a spouse. Make sure your job is halal.

 Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done deliberately for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him (in this life and life after death). 

 Halal means anything lawful Islamically. Keep  checking my blog regularly. Cheers!

How to Make Money from Gold

We used to operate in a gold standard system in the past, it is common knowledge that we presently operate in a dollar based system.  A system where each country measures the value of its currency against the dollar for the dollar based system and the gold for the gold standard system. The gold used to be a yardstick for measuring the value of a currency, although it is no longer used to measure the value of currencies these days, it has maintained it's prestigious value.
