A lot of the very successful people around the world, whether it's business or health or wealth or anything, is that they have a morning routine. Now I misconstrued this is that I should be drinking green tea and doing a full gym workout and doing cold showers, yoga, cold showers, literally before sunrise. When I first started, I was trying to cram so much in as well as having two kids, which now three kids. And slowly over time, I realized what it actually meant. And what that morning routine meant was just basically doing something every day. You don't even have to think about when you wake up having like your non essentials. And that is what I've just crafted over time. I also stupidly thought that I should be working, waking up at 4:30 and then working from 5 until 9am and then doing nothing for us a day. Proud as punch that I could do that.
