I've built my home life

to accommodate my family, of course, first and foremost, but to accommodate the most important hours of the day for me between 5 a.m.

and 7 a.m.

I believe that the morning hours are where we grow.

And my non-negotiable morning routine is where I connect with God.

And I know that's not for everybody, but for me, God is massive in my life.

And I can't tell you exactly

what, why, where, or how, but I can tell you that God has given me an opportunity to do all the things that I do today.

Because prior to my relationship with God, about 21 and a half years ago, I was a lost soul, you know?

And so...

My morning routine now, and I know you probably hear this all the time, but it really does start at night.

It starts at... I don't do this anymore, but for anybody listening, I feel like if you really want to get ahead of a morning routine or initiate or implement a morning routine, don't worry about your wake-up alarm.

Worry about your go-to-bed alarm.

The go-to-bed alarm is, in my opinion, the commitment that we need to make.

Because if you go to bed at 9.30...

Waking up at 5 or 5.30 is just going to happen naturally, right?

And you'll get a good seven and a half to eight hours of sleep, which is my sweet spot.

So I go to bed every night at 9.30 and that's just the way I do it.

And I have all sorts of tools that I use in bed just because I want to optimize this opportunity eight hours of my day.

Like imagine, right?
