At first, you might not think that physical exercise has much to do with starting and running a successful internet business. But I think it might have a lot to do with it.

I personally swim two nights a week and lift weights the other ones. When I am doing better at exercising, I find that it makes me better at working online.

It seems to me that exercising regularly helps give me a general sense of motivation, focus, and mental strength in my daily life. It gives my day-to-day life a productive tone which carries over to managing my websites.

I figure you could have the same indirect benefits from other forms of self-improvement. For example, you can probably also help your internet business by eating healthier, dropping bad habits, getting on a good sleeping schedule, and by taking on other similar self-improving habits.

You may be surprised to see how much decisions about other aspects of your life affect how well you run your business.
