We had the good fortune of connecting with Joey Commons and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joey, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
The top 3 habits that has helped me get one step closer where I want to be are:

Always learning: I love learning new things, which keeps my business fresh and innovative. It helps me stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions. I read about 2-3 business books and have some great podcasts that have helped me.

Time Wizard: Managing time effectively ensures that I make the most of every day. It helps me meet deadlines, seize opportunities, and keep the momentum going. This includes fitting in exercise and making time for breaks and lunch which I love to skip.

Networking: Building relationships is at the heart of my business. It opens doors to new opportunities, collaborations, and support networks. I love going to events, meeting people at the bar, or even the person next to me on the plane. You never know when an opportunity will arise!
