Nicolas Cole walks viewers through his typical day as a successful writer and entrepreneur. He rises at 5:30 am, uses Alexa to start his home studio, and dedicates the first two hours to uninterrupted writing. By 8 am he begins batching calls for his Premium Ghostwriting Academy, the largest online ghostwriter training program with thousands of students and a 35‑person full‑time team. After a quick lunch with his wife, he aims for a second deep‑work block from 12:30 pm to 3 pm, though sometimes he shifts to handling Slack tickets or unblocking team members. At 4 pm he heads to the gym for personal‑training sessions three times a week and solo lifts on other days, emphasizing health to boost sleep and energy. He returns home around 5:30 pm for a sunset walk with his wife and dog, occasionally adds a 20‑minute sauna, then cooks dinner at 6:15 pm. By 7:30 pm he’s usually exhausted, but on rare nights he returns to his office for another hour‑and‑a‑half of writing before winding down with a show and bedtime at 7:38 pm. The narrative highlights his structured routine, business management, and focus on health as pillars of his productivity and lifestyle.

This is a day in the life of being a millionaire writer. So I wake up around 5:30 in the morning. I tell Alexa to turn on my home studio. The goal is to get in two hours of quiet writing before the real day begins. I usually start calls at 8am So I run the largest training program for ghostwriters on the Internet. It's called Premium Ghostwriting Academy with thousands of students and a team of 35 full time team members. So I usually batch all of my calls in the morning since I live in Arizona and I work west coast time. Then I make lunch. Couple hours later, me and my wife, we sit down at the table, we catch up Ivan all morning. Usually some kind of chicken or steak wrap, just something quick. Then usually from 12:30pm to around 3:00pm I try to get in another deep work session. So some days that doesn't happen and I'm either playing whack a mole on slack, just unblocking team members, or I'm taking more calls. But my goal is to try and get in another writing session if I can. Around 4pm I head to the gym. About three days a week I do personal training. And then the other days I just lift by myself. Lately I've been investing a lot in my health actually because as an entrepreneur and a writer, you know, I have a lot going on. So I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my sleep, my energy levels. I get home around 5:30, usually go for a sunset walk with my wife and dog. Sometimes after maybe I'll hit a 20 minute sauna session or barrel sauna in the backyard. Then around 6:15 I cook us dinner. After that, by 7:30 I'm usually pretty fried. Some nights if I still have the energy, I'll go back to my office for another hour and a half of writing. But usually 7:38pm day is done. Maybe we'll watch an episode of something and then go to bed.
