Why is it so important to get up early? Some of you don't want it that's why you ain't got it. I don't sleep when I'm tired,
I sleep when I'm done. The average millionaire
wakes up at 4 AM So it started off 4 o'clock in the morning
I would start, I start with my cardio then I'd have breakfast and then I would
go to the gym and then I go to work. Some of you all have no idea
what 4 AM looks like. Why would you not wake up at 4:30? Because you're too busy sleeping in I'm pretty sure I wake up
earlier than all of you. We don't sleep when we're tired,
we sleep when we are done. Too busy hitting the snooze
button multiple times. Excuses sound best to
the person that's making them up. And if we can really be honest some of you all don't even go
to bed until it's about 4 AM if you can get up before
the rest of the world is awake, right Before the enemy is awake you get so much done,
you're so much more productive. Stop feeling sorry for yourself,
wake your ass up. And they ask me,
why are you up so early? Take responsibility
to make your life happy. Awaken the beast inside Wake up at 4 AM So I begin to tell myself
there must be a reason. When you have something to do,
when you have someone to love when you have something
to look forward to, you get up in the morning. See people who have something to look
forward to, don't need an alarm clock because they have a reason for being. If you want to have one
of the best lives in the world which is you live on your terms? You have to pay your dues to get there. You've decided that you're not going
to allow your circumstances to define you. You've decided that you're not
going to allow the events, things, people, life
determine who you become. You got a problem with your life, you got a problem with your environment do something about it. If you want more freedom in your life,
you have to have more discipline. If you do what is easy
your life will be hard but if you do what is hard your life will be easy. You decided that you're not going
to go through life being a whiner being a complainer that you're going to take responsibility
for what it is that you want to create the greatest ability that God has given
humankind above the animals is the ability to choose. On a normal day
when you are very productive, think about how much you can
actually get accomplished in 3 hours. If you seriously put your mind to it, you can study several chapters
for that upcoming exam. You can read an entire book
of about a 150 pages. You can get a full workout, shower, and take your time
getting dressed in 3 hours. You can type several chapters
of your book in 3 hours. What I'm saying is, you can get 3 hours closer
to greatness in 3 hours. There was an article that was posted in "Business Insider" that said that 3 hours seems to be the sweet spot to being significantly successful. So here's the question What are you missing out
on by sleeping in? Everything. What are you giving up by sleeping in? Everything. What are you gaining by sleeping in? Nothing! What are you accomplishing by sleeping in? Nothing! I know what you're thinking. I know what you're saying to yourself. You're probably wondering,
well who wakes up early? Well, Tim Cook, The CEO of Apple wakes up early. Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney wakes up early. Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon wakes up early. Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks wakes up early. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, wakes up early. What about you, what time do you wake up? You're missing out on precious moments, and opportunities to get things done. You've heard the excuse, "I don't have enough time in the day" Or you might have heard people say, "I wish I had more time" My question is, "What are you doing
with the time you have?" Better yet, if you claim that you
don't have enough time, what are you doing to create time? What areas are you willing to
sacrifice to produce more time? The truth is you have the time. However, you may not be using it wisely. Well guess what? Elon Musk has 24 hours. Beyonce has 24 hours. LeBron James has 24 hours. Warren Buffett has 24 hours. Bill Gates has 24 hours. Jeff Bezos has 24 hours. Mark Zuckerberg has 24 hours. You also have 24 hours. Everyone has 24 hours per day, but some seem to be more
successful than others. You know why? Because they value time,
and know how important time is. And if they feel that
they don't have enough time, they don't mind sacrificing
other things to create more time. So if that means
you have to wake up at 4 AM. to gain 3 more hours in your day, then that is what you will have to do. There is no if's, and's or but's about it. That is if you want to be successful. If not, keep sleeping in until 10 AM. or later. 5 years down the line, you're going to find yourself
in the same position you're in now. If not, you don't have to listen
to anything else I'm saying to you. But I just figured that
I was talking to someone that wants to succeed at all costs. Someone that wants to pass their exams. Someone that wants to make it to
the level you didn't even know existed. I want you to try it out. For one day, just one day,
wake up at 4 AM See how much you can possibly accomplish in those 3 or 4 hours After that, wake up the second day at 4 AM.
Do the same thing! After that, do it for a week. After that, do it for 21 days
until it becomes a habit. Challenge yourself. That is the only way
you're going to do better. You want to be a millionaire? A billionaire, a success story,
a CEO, a boss, and a straight-A student? Do yourself a favor
and gain a few hours each day by waking up at 4 AM your future, successful,
straight-A, billionaire self will thank you.
