The Ultimate Life Hack
Let’s start this post by getting straight to the point. The ultimate life hack is having a strong foundation. This foundation is your baseline, where you default to and how you lead your life.
When you build strong foundations in your work, lifestyle and ethics, you will always lead from a place of integrity, clarity and focus.
To make the most of this ultimate life hack, the first place to start is to give your current lifestyle a makeover. If you want your life to be better, you have to begin by making changes.
Life-hacking your routine
Do you have a world-class daily routine? Are you discplined with what you eat, drink, where you spend your time and energy?
The first place to start when embarking on change is with your wellbeing. Ensure that your life is set up for the success you want and make small changes each day.
The ultimate life-hack of a routine is consistency. Laying a strong foundation that relies on discipline in your lifestyle/ daily activities for your wellbeing will all add up.
Who’s life will you hack?
Different to compariosn, who’s life inspires you? Which world-class high profile people would you like to model the behaviour of?
It’s important to have people that inspire you so that you can see what makes them great at living a life they love. You don’t need to do every single thing (also you won’t really know every single thing they do) but just enough to make a difference in your life.
So if Serena Williams inspires you, then wake up at 5am and workout every single day. If Richard Branson inspires you, then read every single day. These are actual life hacks these two people do every single day which contributes to their greatness.

Life hack your truth
One of the hardest things we can do is to be really honest with ourselves. So many of us want things to change in our lives, we want to do more, do better but we aren’t really ready to do the work.
You see our capitalist worlds are based in fear. They work based on a model of simple tick-box activities which looks a bit like this: Education, Career, Partner, House, Car, Kids, Retirement, Death. It’s designed this way to keep society simple and controllable.
However, you’re not like that. You want more, you want to live a fulfilling life! So if you want this, you have to be prepared to do the work. This will look different for everyone but you will succeed. You must be honest with yourself at every turn and keep reminding yourself WHY you’re choosing this path.
Building strong foundations
If you’re ready to create a life that you are proud of, then build the strong foundations for the ultimate life hack. Below is a list you can use to get started:
- Review your daily routine. Time for yourself, growth, food, drink, people.
- Decide your non-negotiables. To get to greatness, you’ll need to create non-negotiables like a massage every two weeks, no drinking on a Tuesday, limiting social activity, budgeting.
- The right people. Make sure you’re surrounding yourself with people you admire or thrive with. If you spend your time with low-vibe people, that’ll rub off on you. Likewise, if you spend your time with high-vibe people, that will rub off on you.
- Invest in your growth. You can’t do it all alone but you can do it all. It’s important to consistently invest in your growth and your wellbeing in order to reach your goals for success.
- Be the leader of your life. Don’t just coast and do what everyone else is doing. Design and lead your life the way that contributes to your success. There’s so much freedom here and you’ll be an inspiration to others too.
