Introduction

What’s in it for me? Learn how to take charge of your morning and enhance your life.

Once upon a time there was a billionaire. This guy had reached the true elite; he’d achieved epic results in both his professional and personal spheres. He became the kind of person you can’t help but admire. Someone who you knew would leave a positive legacy for the world. 

So, what was his secret? Did he have a natural talent that helped him succeed? Nope – it wasn’t natural talent. Were his accomplishments the result of hard work and grit. No, not that either.

As you may have gathered form the title of these blinks, this billionaire attributed all his success to a simple, yet revolutionary morning routine.

Every day, our billionaire would rise at 5:00 a.m. And after waking, he’d follow a little known formula designed to turbocharge his mental focus, build his physical fitness and encourage him to be his best self day in and day out.

Would you like to know this morning routine? It's time to take you through the main ideas of Robin Sharma’s The 5 AM Club.
