A vitamin B complex is much better than a caffeine infusion in the morning. In conjunction with a healthy breakfast, it really helps to make me feel energetic all day.

Sounds like a great idea for a blog! Energy: How to get it, harness it, and put your energy into everything you do. I’m sure a quick google search would reveal a ton of blogs about it, but that just popped into my head. Great post Sean. Good point about the water – I started drinking more and more of lately while I work and its made a big difference in my stamina.

Energy is crucial for work and partying. I view working on projects like going to a club, “be the party” or just leave and stop stinking up the place.

That said, your ipod post made me tear (not really) I lost mine in Cambodia and haven’t gotten another one, I MISS IT!

So true how important hydration is toi maintain energy levels but from an evolutionary perspective I can’t work it out. I mean, could you imagine cavemen drinking as much water as we do? It’s a full time job keeping hydrated!

Totally right Sean! Although I think there are probably like 20 most important traits for an entrepreneur, energy is one that will kill all the others if you don’t be mindful of it. These types of endeavors where your putting your heart and spirit into something that may or may not pay off, may blow up, or may blow up in your face…you really need to get your head in the game and that’s just not doable if you’re draggin…no matter how many red bulls you have! 5 hour energy instead…ha!

Hey Sean,

As somebody who has one of the most unusual schedules around, I couldn’t agree more on this. It’s definitely more than physical energy. I’m a big believer in creative energy and what I call the fuel for your fire. For me that fire is time spent in the ocean riding waves, and while Im usually exhausted afterward, I find myself in a state that is highly creative. But on the flip side I will say this. After taking up surfing my lifestlye has become much healthier and I’m guessing the reason I’m so much more productive than I was in the past, and charging ahead with all my entrepreneurial projects is because I have the energy. We should connect soon and get you on at blogcastFM. I recently interviewed Dan from Tropical MBA, so I’d love to hear about it from your perspective.

Which is why I drink a 6 pack of RedBull before breakfast. Nah, only kidding, it’s more like 5.

I totatly agree, what I have found in my own entrepreneurial journey is that keeping that positive energy up is essential to any worthwhile success. I’m new on here but really enjoy the topics you are writing about.

Ok, I seriously laughed when you said you fell asleep. Shake yourself! Along with the energy, I’d say discipline is key to being an entrepreneur. Gotta keep a schedule and stay focused. Yoga helps keep me on track.

Fantastic post! I can really relate to this. I recently quit caffeine (again) and replaced my usual Red Bull(s) with making sure I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. The headaches ensued but once I got through the first couple days I started noticing that I had so much more energy, and all without caffeine! Incredible! Anyway, cool post and nice picture.
