My husband’s big boss has many branches of companies local and abroad. Since my husband is the driver, he konows the routine of his boss. He said, his boss wakes up early in the morning. 5:00am to be exact. And no day off. Even in the Saturdays and Sundays he still need to attend important meetings or appointments. It’s dedication to the work and have the perseverance to achieve your goal, to be successful. Thanks for sharing their routines!
