hypofrontality is so important and how to build a routine of an elite performer a chance meeting drew a disillusioned entrepreneur and a frustrated artist to the secrets of the 5 a.m. Club this is a fictitious tale of a curious group of people a depressed entrepreneur in need of a revitalization a frustrated artist trying to refuel his creativity and develop a legacy and a billionaire with a string of successes behind him and a desire to pass on the knowledge of how to live an extraordinary life the three met at a personal optimization conference addressed by a legendary business guru the Spellbinder someone renowned for his ability to weave magic and capture these audience with the power of his insights the billionaire approached the entrepreneur and the artist after the Spellbinders speech had finished but they didn't know that he was a billionaire the billionaire was disguised as a poor man a habit he had developed remind himself that money isn't everything the only clue to his actual wealth was his expensive watch the impoverished working billionaire told the two that he's made a fortune thanks to the Spellbinder who taught him that while many people wish that extraordinary things will happen to them truly elite performers learn that they can make extraordinary things happen themselves the entrepreneur and the artist became more and more curious about this mysterious man who talked like he was a guru himself they listened as the billionaire explained how the Spellbinder who in fact was the billionaire's personal mentor had taught him one thing that was more important than anything else what was it the most reliable way to generate the best results in your personal and professional life is to build a world-beating morning routine a world-beating morning routine being a generous man the billionaire made an incredible offer if the entrepreneur and the artist wanted to come hang with him at his beach house in Mauritius he would teach them the secrets of a world-class morning routine all they needed to do was meet the next at 5:00 a.m. the entrepreneur and the artists were a little skeptical the next morning but it started to soften when a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce collected them and deliver them to a hangar containing a sleek ivory colored private jet which bore the logo 5ac the entrepreneur asked the chauffeur what the logo meant and explained that it stood for the 5 a.m. club and so began their journey toward understanding of revolutionary morning routine and a whole new outlook on life with the potential to transform everything for the better the solitude and enhanced brain state that you experience at 5:00 a.m. we'll help you reform like the elite early the next morning the billionaire told the entrepreneur and the artist had getting up at 5:00 a.m. was the way he had learned to escape mediocrity and achieve greatness getting up at 5:00 a.m. had promoted his creativity doubled his energy and tripled his productivity how well the billionaire told them many true crates throughout history from the novelist John Grisham to composer Wolfgang Mozart had understood that the isolation that comes from getting up at 5:00 a.m. has a multiplying effect all of us has limited mental capacity or cognitive bandwidth and throughout the day our attention is given to more and more things work the news interactions with others and social media our bandwidth gets used up by all these so by lunchtime we can't really concentrate on anything at all but constantly shifting our focus from one thing to another we give nothing enough attention we give nothing enough attention but if you get up at 5:00 a.m. you have a golden opportunity to focus on one high-value activity without your brain getting distracted this focus is further enhanced by the concept of transient hypofrontality which means in a nutshell that at 5:00 a.m. you were well posed to achieve a state of flow in your thinking that's because the billionaire explained when you were enjoying a peaceful 5:00 a.m. start the brains prefrontal cortex which handles rational thought temporarily shuts down so your tendency to analyze stress and worry about things is impaired at the same time the Peace of daybreak stimulates the production of the neurotransmitters I mean in serotonin the result you naturally enter a state of flow of being fully energized focused and in the zone flow is the elite mindset that all top performers from violinists to scientists inhibit in their finest moments so you'll find that if you get up at 5 a.m. you'll be more focused and more productive for the entire day if you want another reason why I'm joining the farm AM Club is a good idea consider this to get the results of the top 5% of elite performers you need to do want 95 percent of entrepreneurs artists and other people and willing to do most people aren't willing to get up at 5:00 a.m. so if you are you have a huge competitive advantage now let's take a look at how to not just achieve great things but to become a true history maker a person whose achievements can change the world history makers capitalize on their talents avoid distraction achieve every day and master themselves on a dazzling morning in Mauritius the entrepreneur the artist and the billionaire gathered by the sea a school of squirrel fish swam through the crystal-clear waters in this beautiful setting the billionaire recounted the four focuses of the great history makers firstly he said the greatest people are defined not by their natural talent but by their extent to which they capitalized according to the billionaire self discipline and perseverance always trumped talent and giftedness so rather than thinking that you don't have what it takes capitalise on the gifts you've got to make a difference secondly the billionaire explained freedom from distraction is key freedom from distraction is key to many people today waste hours on addictive but hollow technology and social media if you want to win you need a focus simplify and concentrate focus simplify and concentrate that means becoming a purist concentrating on a few amazing work projects rather than many good ones and in day-to-day life it means stripping out everything that distracts you from a relentless focus on what's most important to turn off your notifications and cancel pointless meetings that are taking you away from activities that really add value gained a distraction-free hour each morning to focus on what's important by joining the 5:00 a.m. club thirdly the truly great understand the power of day second that means that small things done daily are way more important than big things done once in a while consider enhancing one ability or skill just 1% every day it's a small change but over here it amounts to three hundred and sixty five percent improvement finally the billionaire shared the final focus of history-makers personal mastery practice according to psychologist Andres Erikson a person must invest at least 2.75 hours of daily practice in a skill for 10 years for the first signs of an elite level of mastery to appear so if you want to master yourself you should spend your first hour each morning working deeply on you your mindset and also your approach to your health spirituality and love the entrepreneur and artist now understood much more clearly how the truly elite stay ahead so the billionaire said it was time to take things to the next level it was time for them to understand how to cultivate their best selves giving attention to each of the four interior empires will allow you to master yourself any chosen field how often asked a billionaire have you heard a guru talk about improving your mindset we hear it all the time think optimistic thoughts and you improve your life but said the billionaire strolling along a white sand beach with these pupils what these cures don't tell you is that your mindset it's just one of four interior empires one of four interior empires if you're only working on your mindset you're ignoring your health set your heart set and your soul set that's not like only polishing 25% of a picture your heart set is your emotional life and your well-being it's important because even with a world-class mindset you can't deliver intellectually if your emotional life is a mess as Sigmund Freud noted unexpressed emotions will never die they are buried alive and will come later in uglier ways so focus on a healthy heart set and you'll soon feel the difference next give your health set your physical health some attention one of the key ways to get ahead in life is longevity as the billionaire jokingly pointed out you can't be a Titan of industry if you're dead coming into optimal fitness allows you a couple of extra ultra healthy and productive decades to build a greater legacy what's more and lead performers realize that every day becomes far better with exercise a technology energy dissolves your stress and expands your joy but even that isn't enough as there's another interior Empire to cultivate your soul set the billionaire explained eased your spirituality too often everyday life pulls us towards the superficial and the material to take some time in quiet moments of the early morning to remember who you truly are bond with the hero inside of you bond with the hero inside of you in the song until the dawn meditate on what you have to offer the world focus on your soul set and you reconnect with the very best part of yourself the entrepreneur remarked that the framework really changed his perception of himself leaving him to ask how he could use the first hour of the day to effectively appoint the billionaire replied telling him that he was ready to hear about the 20-20-20 formula but not in mauritius but in the eternal city room it was time to inspire the passion of the Roman people the city's architecture and it's defined food the 20-20-20 formula enhances that waking up at 5:00 a.m. generates incredible results standing in the square at the bottom of the Roman Spanish Steps the billionaire the entrepreneur and the artist took in their surroundings it's time the billionaire said to learn how you can transform your creativity performance utility wealth and productivity just rising at 5:00 a.m. alone won't do it you could rise at 5 a.m. and waste an hour's scan in social media and check any messages but that won't optimize your day what will is the 20 24 24 Mueller that says you use 20 minutes to move 20 minutes to reflect and minutes to grow the first step is to move to perform vigorous exercise for 20 minutes what's really important is to make yourself sweat that's because sweats gets rid of cortisol the hormone of fear sweat generates the protein B D and F or brain-derived neurotropic factor which repairs brain cells and accelerates the formation of new neural connections so by sweating for 20 minutes it literally means you'll think faster then make 5:22 5:40 a.m. a time for reflection with a period of deep peace and solitude before the complexity of the day emerges reflect on what is most important to you in an age of distraction of constant notifications and messages you'll be amazed what visions dreams and inspiration drift into your mind when you have a few moments of silence to yourself write these thoughts in a journal can meet your current ambitions the things you're grateful for in your life and your frustrations and disappointments - paper doing so will help you understand your vision and let go of toxic negative energies take a few minutes to meditate research shows that meditation helps lower cortisol reducing your stress it's a proven way to stay calm and the great performers of the world are always come now it's time for the last twenty minutes of your first hour here you need to grow so take 20 minutes to learn study the lives of great achievers by reading their biographies learn about human psychology watch documentaries on innovation or listen to audio books about business building one thing every billionaire has in common is a love of learning so there you have it a perfect morning routine to make the hour your own and become a true member of the 5 a.m. Club embracing sleep and the twin cycle of elite performance is essential to maximizing the potential of the 5 a.m. Club as a city of Rome slowly came to life the billionaire the entrepreneur and the artist ventured down in the depths of the city as I descended down a dark and dusty tunnel the billionaire announced that they were in the catacombs underground passage used as burial grounds by the ancient Romans the artists asked why they were there and the Buddha explained that they were surrounded by people in a centuries-old slow so it was appropriate place to discuss the importance of deep sleep research has shown that sleep is one of the key factors in predicting life expectancy how you spend your last hour of the day is also as important to peak performance as how you spend the first too many people today are in a state of sleep deprivation driven by technology research shows that the blue light emitted by our devices reduces levels of melatonin the chemical that induces sleep being in front of a screen before sleep will prevent you from sleeping poorly so turn off your technology no later than 8:00 p.m. it's been the rest of the evening take talking with loved ones meditating having a relaxing bath or reading and go to bed no later than 10:00 p.m. that way you can truly maximize the value of your 5 a.m. time sleeping isn't the only important way to rejuvenate yourself in fact a key to top performance over time is to oscillate between periods of passion and focus worked at the highest levels and periods of time for deep refueling through relaxation recovery and fun it's a process that the billionaire calls the twin cycle of elite performance growth happens not just in the performance phase but also in the recovery phase if you want to understand why said the billionaire talked to a farmer he'll tell you that there is always an intense period of tilling the soil planting crops and serious work but after that is the follow season the follow season might look like a period of rest it looks like nothing's happening but really it's the follow season in which the soil is resting and replenishing its nutrients that predicts how well crops are really going to blossom some of us don't like to embrace the rest part of the twin cycle the entrepreneur recognized this saying that if he isn't working he feels guilty but as a billionaire required balance is important so don't just work embrace rest relaxation and fun safe is the knowledge that it's key part of elite performance final summary the key message in this summary the first hours of the day are where heroes are made if you wanna master your life start by owning the mornings freedom from the stretch at 5:00 a.m. will allow you to build your creativity maximize your fitness and protect your serenity in an age of complexity actionable advice set your alarm clock half an hour fast and trick yourself into getting up at 5 a.m. firstly buy an alarm clock technology is distracting and should never be in the bedroom once you've got a nice old-fashioned clock set at half an hour fast set yourself an alarm for 5:30 that way when you wake up the next morning you're tricking yourself into thinking you were getting up later when the alarm goes off jump out of bed immediately before the weaker part of your character can come up with reasons to stay under the duvet and that's a wrap on the 5 a.m. Club by Robin Sharma check out our YouTube channel with over 450 video book summaries uploaded
