A short personal reflection (YouTube video) in which the speaker—Scott Empringham—describes an early-morning routine (reading, journaling, meditating, exercising, desk by 5:30) and the emotional difficulty of working on a business with no customers or prospects. The speaker emphasizes the internal battle against negative self-talk and credits the simple act of getting to the chair and beginning work as an exercise in faith and momentum.

I'll never forget getting up at like 4 o' clock in the morning. Now I get up at 3, but I would get up at 4 o' clock in the morning to read, journal, meditate, exercise, and then be at my desk at 5:30. But here's the big question. When you have no business, when you have no customers, when you have no prospects, what exactly are you going to do when you sit down to work on your business? You start with your marketing plan. And so my brain would say, you're wasting your time. My brain would say it's there's no use. My brain would say, you're a idiot. Sometimes it was a battle just to get to my chair. I literally would have to convince myself shut the up. I would literally beat myself up just to say, get that out of my head. Get to the chair and I'll figure it out when I get there. When I get there. And I'd look and I'd start and I get momentum again and I'd start going. But just getting to the chair was everything. It was that faith.
