From Night Owl To Morning Maven

From Night Owl To Morning Maven - How I Discovered The 5AM Club

We are seven days into 2024.

Can you believe it?

It felt like yesterday when I was updating my goals and vision board.

Once you've clarified your intentions, it’s interesting how information, ideas, and opportunities actively gravitate towards you.

True story…

I was scrolling through Instagram and stumbled on a creator discussing her goals and personal mastery journey.

I was intrigued and stopped to listen.

I’ve never heard of the “90/90/1 Rule” that she was referring to.

I jotted down notes as I listened.

This is what I learned…

For the next 90 days, spend the first 90 minutes of your day working on your #1 lifechanging project. That means pure focus and no distractions.

The concept resonated with me but I wanted to know more.

I “Googled” the “90/90/1 rule” and discovered a wealth of YouTube content from the author Robin Sharma.

Robin also kept mentioning “The 5AM Club” and the importance of owning your morning.

Here's the thing...

I enjoy staying up late and working on ideas, learning etc.

It's almost a badge of honor to burn the midnight oil.

But at the same time, I realize that staying up too late can affect my energy and cognitive stamina the next day.

For example, sometimes I'm up till 2am-3am and then rise at 8am to trade stocks.

Yes, I get up and function but my trading suffers because I make silly mistakes.

Another example ― is getting proper rest and recovery after a solid workout.

Not fully resting does take it's toll.

Therefore, I couldn't have found The 5AM Club at a better time.

For you see, I’m poised for a breakout year!

Something has to change ― Right?

I'm three chapters into reading the book and cannot put it down!

If you’re on the personal mastery and entrepreneur journey, I highly encourage you to read “The 5AM Club”.

Promise me this this…Don’t quit on “You”.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

—Theodore Roosevelt

For me, this new year is about striving valiantly and daring greatly!

How about you?
