As you begin this new year, I enthusiastically encourage you to make the decision that will revolutionize your life and start the training process of getting up at 5AM and running the protocols I share in my latest book, The 5AM Club.
⁣
The book was one of the bestselling books in the world in 2020 because the morning routine I explained in it (and the other rituals for daily genius) causes true transformation. Getting up early over 2021 will make your productivity soar, amplify your fitness and give you precious time to do good things for your self, while the rest of the world is asleep.⁣
⁣
Your time really is now. My respectful suggestion: release all excuses, reasons, rationales and resentments. Today’s a fresh canvas. A new beginning. And your beautiful opportunity to step into the life you ache to live.⁣

One Method to Get A Gargantuan Competitive Advantage [GCA] Over Your Competition

Study Jay-Z or Cirque du Soleil or Zuckerberg or Lady Gaga. All extreme achievers have one belief in common: good enough is definitely not good enough.

To start seeing explosive gains in your achievement levels, I invite you to make the commitment to using every single day of the rest of your long life as a platform for improvement and a vehicle for daily optimization.

Remember: as you live this day, so you craft your life (the best way to predict the future is to create it in the present). Leave everything you touch 1% better. 

Never stop improving your Mindset. Never stop improving your communication. Never stop improving your fitness.  Never stop improving your productivity. Never stop improving your knowledge base…you get my point…

One Powerful Acronym of Extreme Achievement

Optimism isn’t cheesy or soft or boring. Nope. It’s a mission-critical tool for anyone devoted to getting to their best. Every day brings challenges to those who dare/risk/push the envelope. Being the most optimistic person in the room will help you transcend them to your next level of greatness.

The Anti-Pessimist Rule of Iconic Visionaries

Many talk of “hustle” these days. But the idea that working longer and harder makes you more productive and better is outdated.

This quick episode walks you through my philosophy on this essential insight [rare in our world right now].

The Myth of Hustle + Grind

I’m all about the construction of “Tight-Bubbles of Total Focus” on certain days of the week. On these days, I get lost from the world, go dark and focus monomaniacally on the few projects that will count the most.

When I work, devices are off, no one can reach me and I vanish completely. I retreat to a series of beautiful, light-filled, mess-free sanctuaries where my brain can then drop into “transient hypofrontality”. That’s the scientific term brain researchers use for when your mind waves slow down, a pharmacy of mastery is created within you and the pre-frontal cortex–the brain area where your noisy self-critic lives–becomes silent. Also priceless.

This condition–which you have the power to create under the right environment–is often called “Flow”. It’s the state where your natural genius shows up. Time slows down. You see solutions that were un-evident before. We all have this ability. But with the TV on, the notifications sounding and the distractions happening, only those with an acute understanding of the importance of installing world-class conditions get to capture this state where the creative giants play.

How to Leverage the Neurobiological Phenomenon of Transient Hypofrontality to Lead Your Field

Groundbreaking research on elite performance and ultra-achievement has confirmed that keeping a journal on a regular basis boosts mental focus, increases self-confidence, elevates your mental attitude and increases the levels of happiness that you feel.

It’s a fine place to record your gratitude, process through pain, note your victories and reclaim your most luminous self in hard times.

Keep a Lockdown Journal to Magnify Your Positivity

Copying what your competition is doing just leads to being second best.

Only leaders who are willing to think differently can out-innovate everyone around them. Thinking the same thoughts produces the same results. Leadership is all about being The Brave Creative out in front in your marketspace (and your career) versus doing things the way everyone else does them.

Business doesn’t need more copycats. Business needs more Dreamers.

If You're Copying Others, You're Betraying Yourself

Everyone is doing the best they can, based on where they are at on their human journey. Their criticism is awesome soil within which to grow your faith in yourself. And your ironclad trust in your finest instincts. Bless them rather than cursing them. For they are helping your rise.⁣⁣
