all right let’s be honest how many dog
get up and you just get your day started
you don’t have it written down you won’t
have a strategy you don’t have a real
plan you kind of just get up and say I’m
about to tackle today
raise your hand for me raise your hand
we’re gonna stop no more that there is
one habit that I have adopted in the
last three years that has fundamentally
changed me as a business person I went
for ten years with an average of five to
six hours of sleep I felt like it was
genetic and I felt like I had a ton of
what’s that belief nation it’s Evan my
one word is believe and I believe in you
I believe you have Michael Jordan level
talent at something and I want you to
find it embrace it and use it to make a
difference now I started to believe life
series to try to tackle different topics
outside of just straight-up pure
entrepreneurship so to help you live
your best believe life today we’re gonna
look at five morning routines that can
help transform your life joy
[Music]
alright let’s kick it off with routine
number one stick with our routine with
Eric Thomas all right let’s be honest
how many y’all get up and you just get
your day started you don’t have it
written down you won’t have a strategy
you don’t have a real plan you kind of
just get up and say I’m about to tackle
today raise your hand for me raise your
hand we’re gonna stop no more that like
you don’t go to war without a plan you
just don’t come out just digit that I
hope I hit somebody I told you I win on
that Arnold Schwarzenegger stuff that is
it I’ll be back this would be blue he’s
just blowing up stuff we own that Jason
Bourne you’re going to the top floor
that we got the scope I’m being 100 we
know he just gets up in the woods by 8
somebody in the kitchen you just tore up
the whole house
I mean you got my man with you to throw
the whole house up got some other people
in the mending process you mean he
barely got here me together better than
uh strategy open up so pop you later or
a couple hours
mission accomplished you move on I need
you to be strategic I hear looking I
want to go to the NBA not like that you
just running up and down the court not
like that you’re not going no strategy I
want to go through there fail you ain’t
even in school no you’re not going to
the NFL I want to make millions you’re
not even doing what millionaires do and
that those of you you messed up why
because you’re not you don’t understand
think act eat rest so what are we
talking about we’re talking about a
schedule I realized that my strength is
in my routine why because I’m not as
strong as I thought I was I’m not as
intelligent as I thought I was I don’t
want it as bad as I thought I wanted it
it’s my routine it’s what I do every day
repeatedly I just help somebody out
you’re struggling because you don’t have
a routine you all you finally got my man
I have to pull out that but you messed
up everything else in your life you lost
all your friends cuz you do have a
schedule the DNA of your success is in
your routine
you’re not as deep as you think you are
you gotta find a routine I’m getting up
at 3:00 and stick with it I’m getting up
at 5:00 and stick with it
yeah out of 365 days you have a bad day
or two but I’m trying to tell you the
strength is in the routine find a
routine and stick with it routine number
two get rid of your phone with Mel
Robbins so other than the five-second
rule
there is one habit that I have adopted
in the last three years that has
fundamentally changed me as a business
person and it has also changed my
ability to manage my emotions so I don’t
get hijacked I do not allow my phone in
the bedrooms I know the research the
light just did a study based on phone
use alone and 33 percent of people are
reading emails in the middle of the
night I know that if you go to bed and
the phone is right next to you right so
you go to bed because you need your
phone you know somebody might need you
and you sleep you know if this is right
here and it’s not closed and the blue
light is on they’ve done studies where
you have people at a table and the
researcher will put their phone on the
table not even my phone the researchers
phone and the brain lights up like crazy
just with the presence of a phone the
research around the phone and sleep is
so stunning that if you were to adopt
one radical thing today other than the
five-second rule try putting your phone
outside your bedroom
turn off the blue
so you don’t hear it tell people who
need to reach you to call you my kids I
have a kid in college a kid who’s you
know high school kid in middle school if
there’s an emergency call me there is
nothing happening on your phone at two
o’clock in the morning that’s important
but if you allow yourself to become a
tool of this this is supposed to be your
tool for selling your tool for
communicating and we’re all becoming the
tool here’s the other thing common sense
why’s that I want you to understand you
wake up the alarm goes off what do you
do so you’re not even vertical and
you’re reading emails and what is in
these emails other people’s crap if you
don’t have boundaries with this puppy
it’s gonna when I put this thing outside
the bedroom and I wake up I walk over to
where the phone is it plugged into my
bathroom I turn it off I don’t look at
again I give myself five minutes five
minutes before I tune into the world to
actually tune in up here to say what’s
the one thing I’m gonna get done today
that really matters to me if you’re the
kind of person that feels like you don’t
have control over your day that your day
gets hijacked that you can’t get to the
priorities that you’re always behind the
ball this one planning thing will change
your life no phone in the bedroom turn
it off when the alarm goes off five
minutes five lousy minutes five thousand
minutes before you tune in to the rest
of the world and if you’ve got the kind
of job where you’ve got to check it get
up ten minutes earlier you have control
over this stuff and it is so important
that you take it seriously now because
you’re living at the slowest moment of
your entire life routine number three
get more sleep with Chase Jarvis I went
for ten years with an average of five to
six hours of sleep I felt like it was
genetic and I felt like I had a ton of
energy until something happened and that
thing that happened was I was totally
crushed about two years ago I’d been
burning into both ends working 20 hours
a day not getting any sleep I went to
Hawaii and I say you know I’m just gonna
like I’m gonna have zero schedule on
vacation ice left fort
hours a day for like six days straight
and I felt completely different than I
had for the previous like six eight
weeks that I’ve been burning at both
ends now starting about a year ago I
showed it tracking my sleep and I aim to
stay in bed for eight hours a day I can
tell you that I am a definitively way
smarter way nicer more in touch with my
creative side way more in touch with my
intellect and I’m just a better human
when I have more sleep routine number
four schedule everything with Daymond
John my morning routine five years ago
was I would get up and I would look at
my emails a couple of them I wouldn’t
let them consume me because I’m Dyslexic
and I know that when you read it takes
more of the brain to utilize to read it
so I would use it to stimulate my brain
right I’ll get up I’d read my goals like
I’ve always done and I would try to eat
something healthy and then I would get
to the office because I was like I can’t
work out too early because number one
there’s a lot of fires I need to put out
and I can’t do that
as I started to realize what was going
on I started do these interviews with
people I started saying all right may I
need to change this around so now it’s
totally different so I’ll get up I’ll do
my goals I will still do that small part
of reading the email but I will not look
at social media which I used to and now
I’ll go work out because I used to work
out at night when I felt that my emails
weren’t coming in that much and I wanted
to kind of get tired so I rested but I
start working out now early earlier in
the day and and I start also scheduling
time with my daughter and with my family
to make sure that that is priority over
anything else
and I also schedule any kind of health
things I need to do doctors checkups
physicals whatever the case is what that
did was I’m more productive because the
adrenaline running and I got to work and
I’m I’m I’m more active I didn’t eat the
egg and cheese sandwich was slowing me
down right and I need to chill out for a
little while I started doing my spending
more time with my family and because I
started say I’m gonna make a major
appointment any kind of point when I can
once a month for my health I end up
finding out I had stage 2 cancer after
reading after son to find out all you
know all these people’s techniques
because I look further into my health
and I end up finding out ahead stay true
cancer and it didn’t say my life
necessary cuz I had thyroid cancer which
would still be a challenge but I had a
surgery and I got the cancer I’m old I’m
cancer-free you know and it was because
of me altering my life with these small
adjustments a new tee number five the
last one before a very special bonus
clip for you is win the morning win the
day with Tim Ferriss one of the
commonalities one of the patterns that
you spot really quickly if you interview
hundreds of world-class performers and I
just interviewed 130 or so for my new
book tribal mentors is the fact that
they have consistent morning routines
they have some type of recipe a boot up
sequence that they use to win the day in
some fashion and it ranges from for
instance mindfulness and that could be
mindfulness meditation where you find
say Evan Williams who is well known for
a blogger Twitter also medium who spends
time every morning as I do with some
type of meditative practice could be
insight it could be a trans dental
meditation you could use an app like
headspace which i think is a great place
to start and it trains you it allows you
to practice becoming more aware and less
reactive so that you’re not thrown off
by the unexpected challenges and
problems of the day and that helps you
to be much more productive and much more
centered you can achieve that in other
ways gratitude is a common element so
Tim O’Reilly who’s just an incredible
entrepreneur thinker writer and thought
leader in Silicon Valley goes for a run
and will take a photograph of a single
flower on his run every morning right
and this teaches you to pause to pause
and to assess how your say responding to
things so that is a really beautiful
practice that can be done with gratitude
lists I use something called the
5-minute journal but Whitney Cummings
incredible stand-up comedian writer and
much more also has gratitude lists and
this is say naming three things that
you’re grateful for each morning tony
robbins does this Brian Grazer
incredibly well known iconic TV and film
producer also does this I think he’s had
one hundred and
Emmy nominations or something like that
and that achieves very much the same
thing of present state awareness and
looking for the positive as opposed to
fixating on the negative and last but
not least you have say Jocko willing
retired Navy SEAL commander who will lay
out his clothing his workout clothing
the night before so that there’s no
conscious decision required were
willpower or lack thereof could
intercede his clothing is ready he’s
already set his to-do list for the next
day wakes up at he wakes up at 4:30
that’s not quite when I wake up and
grabs the clothes boom directly to the
gym and he has a home gym where he does
his workout this is also very common
where people recognize these very busy
very driven people that if it’s
inconvenient to work out they probably
won’t do it
so Jocko has home gym where barbell
plates squat rack 3 sets of rings at
different heights a kettlebell and
you’re good to go that’s all you need so
there’s a few of the things that I’ve
seen repeatedly in different forms with
hundreds of top performers that they use
to win the morning so they can win the
now I’ve got a special bonus clip from
Mel Robbins on how to develop a great
morning routine but before that I want
to know what did you take from this
video what lesson you’re gonna apply
immediately to your morning routine what
was the most impactful clip let me know
in the comments below when you write
something down it’s also much more
likely to stick for yourself so you’ve
got a commitment you want to make put it
in the comments thank you guys so much
for watching I believe in you I hope you
continue to believe in yourself and
whatever your one word is much love see
you must come up with a morning routine
that you do every single morning or at
least more mornings than not that puts
you in control of yourself
and in control of your day this is what
I do and I cannot explain the power that
I get from starting my day off and being
bigger than my excuses and being in
control
first and foremost wake up on time when
that alarm goes off get your butt out of
bed 5 4 3 2 1 go why is that important
for persistence the reason why is
because the first decision that you’re
making of the day is to actually get up
and get moving that means you are
persistently bigger than your excuses
you are persistently bigger than feeling
lazy and you are persistently beating
the feelings that typically stop you the
second thing that I want you to do
before you look at your email before you
answer your phone
before you start surfing box advice and
BuzzFeed and you know team stream and
checking out the sales on Zappos and
looking at your Facebook newsfeed before
you pick up the damn phone please please
please figure out your two priorities
for the day these are the things that
matter to you whether it’s saving money
and and making sure you’re focused on
that or showing up at work and being a
contributor or whether it’s changing how
you treat your spouse or your kids or
the person that you’re with her heck
getting to the gym because you said you
would whatever it is that your two
priorities are put them in your head
before you pick up the phone why the
reason why is because of persistence the
reason why is because I want you to have
a good day do you know what makes for a
bad day what makes for a bad day is
snoozing
starting your day off late starting your
day off tired starting your day off by
mainlining everybody else’s newsfeed on
social media and looking at everybody
else’s life and and saying to yourself
oh my god they’re on vacation or gosh
they look so great or your friends are
so fancy or my gosh they’ve got so money
you start off your day looking at that
you’re never gonna have a good day
you got to start off your day by getting
up on time figuring out your priorities
and then getting to work on them do not
pick up your phone until you have done
those two things I think the single
biggest reason why people have bad days
is because they start them off by
looking around at everybody else and
seeing what they’re doing instead of
having the focus and the discipline to
actually start your day off with you in
control and with your priorities front
and center so you want a bonus rad
exercise every day
that’s right get up on time figure out
your pre-trip priorities and exercise
you do those three things you’ll be
kicking ass every single day the most
important work ever if you had to think
of one word that’s most important to you
that sums you Apple so it would be like
a little beacon pay believe nation if
you want to know what the most important
one word is for Tony Robbins Gary
Vaynerchuk Oprah Winfrey will.i.am and
Howard Schultz I have a very special
secret video for you check the
description for details [Music]
get up and you just get your day started
you don’t have it written down you won’t
have a strategy you don’t have a real
plan you kind of just get up and say I’m
about to tackle today

mainlining everybody else’s newsfeed on
social media and looking at everybody
else’s life and and saying to yourself
oh my god they’re on vacation or gosh
they look so great or your friends are
so fancy or my gosh they’ve got so money
you start off your day looking at that
you’re never gonna have a good day
you got to start off your day by getting
up on time figuring out your priorities
and then getting to work on them do not
pick up your phone until you have done
those two things I think the single
biggest reason why people have bad days
is because they start them off by
looking around at everybody else and
seeing what they’re doing instead of
having the focus and the discipline to
actually start your day off with you in
control and with your priorities front
and center so you want a bonus rad
exercise every day
that’s right get up on time figure out
your pre-trip priorities and exercise
you do those three things you’ll be
kicking ass every single day the most
important work ever if you had to think
of one word that’s most important to you
that sums you Apple so it would be like
a little beacon pay believe nation if
you want to know what the most important
one word is for Tony Robbins Gary
Vaynerchuk Oprah Winfrey will.i.am and
Howard Schultz I have a very special
secret video for you check the
