Positive affirmations.

Now all I do is I just look at myself in the eye.

Good hard look.

And I say, today's the day, Mikey.

Go get them.

I walk out and at that point it's about, you know, whatever, an hour and a half after I've woken up, an hour and change, my wife and kids are just starting to get up and I am the absolute 100% best version of myself, period, done.

I am dad, I am husband, and I'm ready to be that person.

And, you know, if nothing else good happens, right?

Like if nothing else good happens, because, you know, in business,

Some days you're going to be high-fiving and hugging, but more days than not, you're going to be navigating the weeds and trying to figure out how to get yourself out of them.

Blocking and tackling.

That's it.

So you do that for yourself in the morning.

And the other thing that I've said that I feel is those hours, those hour and a half and change I get in the morning...

could be spent sleeping.

You know, some people, a lot of people will, you know, I've been talking about a morning routine for a long time, you know, and morning routines were hot and heavy, right?

Like three, three years ago, like everybody's got their morning routine.

Now it's got begun a lot different.

You know, I don't care what people think about my extensive morning routine.

It makes me a better person.
