before the Sun rises is the time of
least distraction before the Sun rises
where you can build intimacy and fluency
with what you want to stand for in your
day before the Sun rises the luxury and
tranquility of the early morning hours
you can do that deep in or work that
will allow you to go out in the world
and play at your best
we live in a world where a lot of people
are busy being busy but what's the point
in being busy around climbing the wrong
Mount Everest and so clarity is one of
the DNA's of mastery but if you look at
the greatest billionaires if you look at
the greatest producers on the planet
these people have one thing in common
they are ridiculously curious and no
matter how much money they make it no
matter how much impact they have they
maintain a white belt mentality one of
the keys to epic performance he is a
relentless commitment to daily breath as
you begin your day so you handcraft
the rest of your day and if you have
consistently great days you're gonna
have consistently great weeks quarters a
year and a lifetime we live in a world
that suggests the doorway to successes
swings outward if you build the business
if you get the jet if you get the money
if you get the cars if you get the
beautiful spokes then you're gonna be
happy what I believe and there's a model
in the 5m club that I think is a very
disruptive model but it's a
transformational and it's called the for
interior empires and it's not just
mindset it's mindset heart set hell set
and soul set but I worked on those for
interior empires when I was a very
unhappy
like I'd made money I was successful I
to law degrees and yet I wake up every
morning Tom and I'd go into the bathroom
mirror and I look at myself and I was a
completely empty person and nothing
is more expensive and losing your joy
and your peace of mind and so what I did
was I started working on myself you know
I worked on my mindset and I read all
the books and went to the courses but
that's only your psychology I think
that's one of the missing links in our
field which is everyone's talking about
mindset but mindset is just your belief
system is just your psychology it's very
important but that's 25 percent of the
personal mastery equation I believe the
second piece is your heart set I worked
on that purifying your heart
that's your emotionality not just your
psychology you're never gonna make
history dominate your domain and
handcraft the world-class life if you've
got a great psychology that you're
carrying the pain and sadness
disappointment and trauma of the past so
I worked on my hearts up your health set
don't die if you want to change the
world like dead people don't change the
world what have you done today to be
different what have you done to step
outside the conventions that you set for
yourself the conventions and the rules
set by your past today you have the
power to move on today you have the
power to move away from your past and
move towards a successful future this is
your decision your call to make in your
future this is how your life can gain
its own direction
and this is where your life can be so
much more so much better you can make it
better you have always had the potential
to take one more step the potential to
take the risks others are too scared to
take because you are more and you are
stronger and you have the determination
and the courage to be so much more
know how to be someone better to look
for something better to become someone
with the purpose to constantly look for
change to always look for somewhere to
improve for somewhere to be better
because this is where you begin you own
your success so let it take control take
control of your life and take control of
your power this is where the power is in
your control get after it in blood in
the world every single morning
people might ridicule you because every
genius is ridiculed before their revered
people might throw stones at you but you
use them to build monuments of mastery
people might not misunderstand you
because any disrupter is going to be
misunderstood and even your if you're an
army of one a Galileo or Steve Jobs or
how to fill night you continue at all
cost it all starts with who you are
because you'll never rise any higher
than what's going on in a video what
terrifies you most go directly there
because discomfort is simply growth in
wolf's clothing
to lead and to become a great hero or an
everyday hero the doorway is through
embracing our suffering and doing
difficult thing I think pleasure has
been promoted too much in our society
like no great Titan of industry no
legendary cellist
no great athlete you know the great ones
all understand that suffering is the
price of greatness so how we become
braver you do you do the difficult
things that you don't feel like doing
but you know have the pale
it'll be crazy the great leaders are
insane and I say that they're insane to
the majority the great ones are all
misfits and they're all weird I mean the
very nature of being a disrupter and a
leader means you're not a following and
if they're not a follower then you're
not buying the kool-aid that society
sells you if you're not a follower
you're not like this all the time
looking for likes if you're not a
follower you dress the way you want a
dress if people criticize you they
criticize all the great ones critics are
nothing more than dreamers who got
scared and never got off their chairs
and got back in the game so you've got
to be willing to be to 5:00 a.m. weird
who does that why not sleep leaders have
to be willing not to be followers stop
blaming others stop blaming people for
the reasons you find yourself in now
stop blaming your situation stop blaming
your parents stop blaming the government
stop blaming your genetic stop blaming
your finances stop blaming your past
Clawd yourself back into the light
stop blaming everybody else the only
person you can truly blame is you
because you are the only person who can
get yourself out of it
live life a victor not a victim
you might even be right you might be
poor because of their parents are broken
because of their relationship your rent
but what does blaming people or society
do for you it will keep you in the same
hole and all you're doing is digging the
hole even more it's because your
situation where you right now hasn't
changed in order to go forward and to
get out of the hole is growth instead of
bringing other people down to your level
build yourself up to them
Clawd yourself out of that hole and you
will get to see the Sun once again
massive success is how to prove people
wrong and prove yourself right the only
way to get upstream is to swim against
the company
you're permanently ruining your future
your halting your progress life is made
not to be easy not one's life is ever
easy how did you ever think you were
ever going to make any progress you can
make this your time you can take control
of the life you want to live have the
authority that know what you need to
change to know how to change and then
they take action have disciplined with
yourself into progress switch to routine
make your life all difficult situations
force you to make improvements force you
to learn to educate yourself prove this
to yourself make others jealous make
yourself jealous like you're gonna only
be so pretty you're only gonna be so
smart like you can like there's there's
things that are gonna be natural and
there's things that you can actually
control I do believe and I don't know if
I'm right or wrong I don't but I do
believe that work ethic is a taught
behavior it's something you do have more
control over
I feel like there's a shift that can
make people work harder the big one that
I push is you're gonna die like like if
your complaint like to me life is broken
down into complaining and not so if
you're not complaining well then I know
I have no advice for you but I'm pumped
like you did it
we're beating ourselves up like
everybody sucks at something right like
we all have shortcomings and we all have
strengths and for me it's like why don't
we just audit that like why don't we
just look at it that way
and be like all right well I'm good at
this but I'm not gonna that like and
then and then and then I only focus what
I'm good at right like I don't dwell
that I can't fix it around the house I
call somebody to fix it don't lose
yourself on the way to the top they'll
never be a better you than you
