Contributed by Gino Wickman, a recent EO 360° podcast guest and the author of Traction and The EOS Life, as well as the creator of EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), which more than 130,000 entrepreneurs use to run their companies. He also created The 10 Disciplines for Managing and Maximizing Your Energy.

You deserve to live your optimal life. Being an entrepreneur gives you the freedom to do so.

For the last 30 years, I have obsessed about helping every entrepreneur be successful and free. Now, with more than 130,000 entrepreneurs using the system I created, EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), and living their ideal life, aka The EOS Life, that dream is becoming a reality.

Regardless of which operating system you use to run your company, I am going to assume you are relatively successful and have the basics down: eating right, sleeping well and exercising regularly and that you have a strong work ethic.

Now, I’d like to share how to go to the next level and live your optimal life by applying what I call The 10 Disciplines for Managing and Maximizing Your Energy™.

I have been practicing these disciplines for over 20 years. They are for racehorses who are ready to run. They will teach you how to harness your energy, run faster, make an impact, get total freedom, and understand what is most important in your life, making you the best version of yourself.

You’re a ball of energy (we all are), and your energy either burns bright or it doesn’t. It’s all about mobilizing that energy.
