1. Start the Day with Clarity
Every morning, I take 30 minutes for myself. No calls. No meetings. Just silence. I use that time to think clearly and plan the day.
Back when AVPL was just starting out, this habit helped me handle some of the biggest challenges be it building teams, handling projects, or innovating with drone tech. Clear mind, clear action. That’s always been my rule.
2. Learning is Non-Negotiable
The tech world moves fast. If you’re not learning, you’re falling behind. Every single day, I spend time learning through books, podcasts, or listening to other entrepreneurs. Even 20 minutes helps.
This habit helped AVPL not just survive changes, but stay ahead of them.
3. Listen Like a Leader
One habit I swear by listening to my team.
I don’t just give directions I pay attention to ideas, concerns, and feedback.
It changed our work culture. People felt heard, trusted, and motivated.
If you want loyalty, start by listening.
4. Weekly Non-Negotiables
No matter how busy the week is, I stick to a few non-negotiable goals that must get done.
They keep me focused and the team aligned.
Success doesn’t come from doing everything. It comes from doing the right things consistently.
5. Resilience + Gratitude = Emotional Strengths
Entrepreneurship isn’t a straight line. Some days are wins. Some feel like a mess.
But two habits keep me grounded:
1. Every night, I write down 3 things I’m grateful for.
2. I remind myself that bouncing back isn’t enough moving forward is the goal.
3. Calmness in chaos? That’s the real power.
Why habits matter more than motivation
Motivation comes and goes. Habits stay.
The success of AVPL wasn’t built on luck. It was built on daily habits, repeated with discipline day after day.
If you’re building something, focus less on hype, more on habit.
To Aspiring Entrepreneurs
If you’re just starting out, remember this your first and most important investor isn’t someone else. It’s you.
And the way you invest? Through your habits.
Success doesn’t come from one big move. It comes from showing up daily with focus, discipline, and intent.
At AVPL International, every milestone was built on simple habits thinking clearly, learning constantly, listening deeply, and staying consistent.
Success isn’t for the extraordinary. It’s for those who keep going.
Build habits that match your ambition and you’ll build more than a business. You’ll build something that lasts.
