When you own your morning, you’ll elevate your life. I wish I was 20 years old, someone had taught me that early rising is an absolute game changer. Why? Because if you learn how to start your days well, your days will unfold gloriously consistently. When you start your days before sunrise, you have a Gargantuan Competitive Advantage. There’s no crowds. People are nicer. People are more open. There’s no traffic on the streets. You can actually think.
One of the lines in The 5AM Club is, “tranquility is the new luxury.” When you start your day well, you have the time. I call it the victory hour in the book. From five o’clock to six o’clock, you get to run the The 20 20 20 Formula, which I teach in The 5 AM Club. So let me simply say for now, you have the time to work on yourself. You have the time to work on your Heartset, to develop your Mindset, to exercise, whether it’s doing planks or running on a treadmill, or maybe it’s SoulCycle. I don’t know, but you get to work on your Heartset. You get
the time early rising to work on your Soulset, where you can connect with your cause, and connect with your mission, and detect your values, and build yourself into that hero and brave warrior so that when you go out in the world at 6:00 AM and you feel fundamentally
different.
You’re full of true power, you’re full of clarity on what you need to achieve during the day.
You’ve got this intimacy with who you truly are so you can stand steadfast in the turbulence that everyday might bring. You have more or energy. You have more joyfulness. You’re connected with this peace. I mean, peace is really important to leadership and exponential productivity. When you are a peaceful, grounded, focused versus diffused and scattered, there’s a term called digital dementia.
A lot of us are suffering from digital dementia because of all the devices and technology. We’re not focused and grounded. So of course we’re not going to be at our creative and productive best.
