Just one hour a day can change your life.

You wake up to your alarm, press snooze, and roll back over for an extra few minutes of sleep. The alarm goes off again, and you get up, groggy still, to shuffle off and quickly get ready so you’re not late for work. Sound familiar? This is what your average person does; wake up and let the day take over. But do you want to be average?

If you want to be like the top 5%, you need to stop acting like the 95%.

There is a way to start your day with purpose and energy, a pattern that will help you accomplish more and increase your mental and physical health. It all starts with waking up at 5 a.m.

For most people, waking up at 5 a.m. without having to be somewhere sounds unappealing. But if you want to be great, this is where to start.

Robin Sharma is a leadership guru who loves to help others become more productive. In The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life, he uses a fictitious story about a billionaire mentor teaching a struggling artist and an entrepreneur about the importance of waking up early to show how revolutionary it is for success. He makes a convincing case that will persuade even the most sleep-loving people that to be truly excellent, we need to start our days intentionally.

Here are the 3 biggest lessons I’ve learned from this book:

1. Waking up at 5 a.m. will provide you with the solitude and improved brain state to perform like the pros.
2. Balance your four “interior empires” to achieve self-mastery.
3. Don’t waste time when you wake up early, use the 20/20/20 formula.
