What if I told you that with one subtle shift in the way you start your day, you could have everything you’ve ever wanted? 

What if, waking up a few hours before you do right now and following a few simple practices could transform your life...overnight? 

What if you could build a million dollar empire, get in the best shape of your life, have a flourishing relationship, and become “ultra spiritual” just by doing a few easy things before 8 am. 

Skeptical? 

I don’t blame you.

I’ve been obsessed with morning routines since stumbling across Michael Masterson’s articles on Early To Rise back in 2001.

Unfortunately, today the trend to pack “14 things” onto your to-do list before breakfast has become a trend that has made people less productive and more stressed than ever.

Although there’s nothing inherently wrong with morning routines, there are several destructive “morning myths” proliferating the internet.

Gurus and experts (who’ve never achieved anything themselves) claim that if you don’t do certain things at a certain time...you can never be successful. 

But I can tell you from two decades of experience and research, they’re wrong. 

How you start your morning does matter. But not in the way most self-help teachers claim. 

In this short essay, I’m going to break down the five most pervasive morning myths holding you back from success so that you can control your mornings and dominate your life and business. 

Myth #1: You Have to Join the 5 am Club

Every morning, my feet hit the floor at 3:57 am. 15 minutes later than Mark Wahlberg and 3 minutes earlier than the Rock. 

And for me, this habit has been a game changer that has allowed me to get more done, eliminate anxiety, and achieve my biggest goals. 

But you don’t need to wake up at 3:57 am. Or 5 am. Or 6 am. Or even 7 am for that matter. 

I’ve seen countless entrepreneurs burn themselves out and (literally) become sick because they tried to wake up too early too quickly. 

And for what? 

Numerous studies have shown that the hour you wake up has zero bearing on your socioeconomic status or financial success. 

I know multi millionaires who don’t start work until 3 in the afternoon. I know others who are still awake and working on their most important projects at 2:30 in the morning… and don’t get up until noon.

There’s no reason to force yourself into a morning routine that doesn’t fit your lifestyle just because the internet’s latest and greatest personal development guru told you to do it. 

If you listen to any advice from experts, listen to this quote (from me!):“It’s not about the hour you get up, it’s about what you do with the hours that you are up.”

Instead of trying to join the 5 am club because “everyone else is doing it”, ask yourself:
