Have you ever gotten up before the sunrises and noticed how incredibly calm and quiet it is?

The world is still asleep, no dogs barking or phones ringing. It’s just you in the stillness. I know it’s tempting to go back to bed.

But, if you get up and get to work on your business, you are a member of the 3 AM Club.

Members of the 3 AM Club find themselves capitalizing on this small chunk of distraction-free time. They are plowing through things that have been on the back burner for far too long.

Some are even creating and building new products and services!

When your mind is rested, clear, and focused, you can be so much more efficient and productive, so grab some coffee and let’s get to work!

In this episode, I am going to cover:

How getting up early allows you to be notably more productive in the early hours of the day
How to safeguard your productivity throughout the day
How a high level of productivity can provide you peace of mind in your personal life

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about what it's like to get up at 3:00 am and work on your business.

Hey, what's up, everybody? It is about six 30 in the morning. And I fell asleep last night at about eight-thirty, sorry, seven-thirty. I fell asleep at about seven-thirty last night. I had my son. His mother dropped him off around six, and I don't know what it was. I was just extra tired. I think it was because I had just done a millionaire cruise with one of my clients Phil Bohol. He booked a Millionaire Cruise one-on-one for any of you that doesn't know what that is. It's I do one-on-one consulting days on my yacht. It's like a 12 hour day. We just sit down and really dive in. For him specifically, we spent the day basically writing his webinar. I basically wrote his whole worked with him to write his whole webinar, which is his main marketing content to get clients for his company.

And so that's like 12 hours of, you know, of talking and consulting and thinking, I guess I was just really tired because the next day, which was yesterday, I went to bed at seven-thirty, which is pretty early for me. So I woke up at 3 am, and I was like, man, I am like, ready to go, should I go back to bed? You know? And I was like, Nah, screw it. Let me get up. So I got up, had a cup of coffee. My son's right now; he's still sleeping. He probably won't get up to like for another hour or two, but I went upstairs and sat down, and I just realized how calm it was, like nobody's messaging me. And I don't deal with that anyway. I don't let people message me when I'm working on something, you know, because I'm a huge productivity nerd and I don't do that, but there's just something about the fact that nobody can message you nobody's awake, and there's something that unlocks in your mind.

Plus, when you get up in the morning, your brain is clear, you haven't, you haven't filled it with a bunch of muck or gunky yet. It's completely clear, and it's rested. So that's why I like to get stuff done early because I don't give my brain time to get gunked up with stress and things from the day that I'm thinking about, you know, I just like to get to work on something that that I want to work on. So I decided that I was going to get up, I went up here, and I sat down, and I started working on all kinds of stuff that I've been, that I've not had time to get done recently. One of them was reviewing an investment contract and choosing, you know, what type of investment style I want for this particular strategy we're doing, which is a self-directed insurance company.

And then I went and went through the document where I'm basically writing the copy for our new website. We're completely rebranding and doing a new website for getclients.com. And I had to go and write the copy for pretty much all the main pages. And so I did that as well as worked on one of my new webinars for my new Legendary Productivity program, which is a program that teaches you how to have insane productivity. So I worked on that a bit. I did a few other things, and it's like 7:00 am. You know, it's about to be 7:00 am. And I got pretty much everything I needed to get done for the day done. So now I get to work on other stuff like recording this podcast episode, writing out plans for new YouTube videos, or plans for just other stuff in the company.

And I just, I'm sitting here thinking like, man, like, this is really great. Now I don't know if I'd want to do this all the time because I just don't want to live a lifestyle where I get up at 3:00 am every day and I have to be to bed at seven-thirty because you know, I understand there's something to be said for being productive and getting things done, right? Obviously, because I'm a huge productivity nerd, and I'm even developing a whole productivity course, but one thing is not to miss life, not to restrict yourself so much that you can't enjoy life. In fact, to me, the entire point of being productive is so that not just so that you can get things done, but so that you have time to enjoy life and smell the roses, right?

That's, you know, it's easy to be productive when all you do is work, but to be productive and still be able to enjoy your personal time, that's true productivity. And so that's what I really wanted to focus on in our new program that we're releasing and in my life. And so I believe that these, you know, 3:00 am days are good when you have a day where you're really tired, and you're like, man, I could go to bed early, and you go to bed early, you get up basically in the middle of the night, and you just go. And then that night you're going to sleep very well. And you're probably going to go to bed a bit earlier than normal, but when you do go to bed, you're going to really be well-rested. You're going to get up at whatever normal time you get up seven.

I normally get up at seven, and you should be able to get right back into that groove. But I wouldn't do it all the time because, for me, I still want to go out to dinner. I still want to, every once in a while, go have a drink with some friends or go out on my boat and have a little party on the back dinner. I'm not going to go to bed at seven-thirty every night. I'm just not going to do it. So doing it here and there, maybe once a week, once every two weeks, will just boost your productivity, catch you up on things that perhaps, you know, you've been slacking on a bit, or you just have been too overwhelmed to do. And it's just; it's sort of like a vacation from your daily grind, you know? Because throughout the rest of the day, and I've done this before, and throughout the rest of the day, you just find time for more things. Like just staring out the window and looking at the trees or in my case, I look at the Bay here, the ocean, and just taking a moment to appreciate it because you just never do any other time, you know, because you're just grinding, grinding, grinding.

So if you want to join the 3:00 am club, I would recommend that you pick one day every week or every two weeks and not even pick a day, just allow yourself to be open to if you feel tired and it's early, go to bed, don't try to stay up. Don't try to say, well, I really wanted to watch this show, or I really want, or even I really want to get this thing done because I guarantee you, if you go to bed early, get up at like three, and you do that thing is going to get done in a quarter of the time. Trust me. I just blew through a ton of stuff today.

So that is a little tip I'm giving you guys if you want to join the 3:00 am club. I just think you should visit the 3 am club. I don't think you should establish a permanent residence there, but that is up to you. That's just my personal take on it, and I hope you enjoyed this episode.
