Stop working harder. Start working strategically. It's not about superhuman abilities. It's not about sleeping 4 hours a night. It's about mastering the hours you have. Here's how top CEOs maximise their 24 hours: 1. The Power Hour Priority: ↳ Start with high-impact tasks first  ↳ Focus on what moves the needle  ↳ Handle strategic work when your mind is freshest 2. Master Delegation:  ↳ Delegate to others' strengths ↳ Focus on decisions only you can make  ↳ Trust your team to grow through responsibility 3. Strategic Time Blocking:  ↳ Guard your peak performance hours  ↳ Create untouchable focus time  ↳ Batch similar tasks together 4. Meeting Minimalism:  ↳ Every meeting needs a clear purpose  ↳ Keep them short and focused  ↳ If it could be an email, make it one 5. Technology as a Force Multiplier:  ↳ Automate the routine  ↳ Streamline your systems  ↳ Let tech handle the repetitive 6. The Power of No:  ↳ Set boundaries  ↳ Protect your time like it's money  ↳ Filter opportunities through your goals 7. Strategic Breaks:  ↳ Rest is part of productivity  ↳ Short breaks boost performance  ↳ Quality downtime enables quality uptime Time management isn't about doing more. It's about achieving more with less. You have the same 24 hours as every CEO. It's how you use them that counts. ♻️Share these insights with someone who needs to work smarter, not harder. 🔔Follow Luke Tobin for more leadership and productivity strategies.

And high-EQ leaders know this secret: Trust is the foundation of everything in business. 8 trust-building habits of great leaders: 1. Keep Their Word ↳ They follow through on commitments. ↳ No excuses, just reliable action. 2. Share the Hard Truths ↳ They're honest about challenges. ↳ They explain the why behind decisions. 3. Listen With Purpose ↳ They don't just hear words. ↳ They seek to understand the meaning. 4. Own Their Mistakes ↳ They admit when they're wrong. ↳ They show how they'll make it right. 5. Notice the Small Wins ↳ They celebrate progress, not just results. ↳ They know effort shapes success. 6. Give Real Feedback ↳ They make it a conversation. ↳ They ask for feedback too. 7. Stay Steady Under Pressure ↳ They keep their cool when things get tough. ↳ They become the anchor their team needs. 8.

Your team is watching. Make your actions count. _____ ♻️Repost to help your network. 🔔Follow Succeed by Luke Tobin for more content. 👉Join our success-focused newsletter: https://www.luketobin.com/

Success isn't about talent. It's about mindset. The biggest lie we tell ourselves: "Successful people are born different." The truth? I've worked with hundreds of high-performers, and here's what I discovered: They face the same fears you do. (That voice saying "you're not ready") They battle the same doubts. (The midnight "what-ifs") They hit the same walls. (Rejection, failure, setbacks) But they do ONE thing differently... They've mastered the psychology of success. It's not talent. It's not connections. It's not luck. It's a specific set of mental frameworks that anyone can learn. In today's newsletter, I break down: - The Mental Rehearsal Technique used by elite athletes - The Identity Framework that transforms behaviour - The Confidence Compound Effect (and how to trigger it) Plus: Get instant access to my Success Mindset Toolkit.
