• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: If you're an entrepreneur, this is, in my opinion, the number one morning routine for mental clarity, focus, and just not getting burnt out.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: There are four key principles.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: First, you're just gonna wake up.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: Wake up and shake off the sleep inertia because that's very, very difficult to do.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: So, what I like to do is I have an alarm called Alarmi.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: It takes you through puzzles, you can shake it, you can uh do squats.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: Do something to break the sleep inertia.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Another great thing you can do is taking a cold shower first thing in the morning, two to five minutes after you get after you wake up, take a cold shower.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: It'll wake you up immediately.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Then you're gonna take care of your mental health, your spiritual health.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna pray, you're gonna read through the Bible.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: And what I've been doing is I read uh usually two to four chapters of the Bible each day, right?
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so two to four chapters of the Bible, and I will pray for 10, 15, 20 minutes.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: So ultimately that takes about half an hour or so.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Then you're gonna take care of your physical health.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Because here's the thing: if you're not taking your care of your physical health as an entrepreneur, as a salesperson, as a professional, you're gonna be performing at a lower at a lower skill trait or a lower uh capacity than you can be.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: And so I always go to the gym first thing in the morning after after showering, getting ready for the day, after praying, after reading the Bible, I go to the gym.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: But before I go to the gym, I eat breakfast.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: And to some people that might sound weird to eat breakfast minutes or less than an hour after you wake up, but here is exactly why I do that.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: Because here's the thing you're either gonna eat breakfast before you work out, or you're gonna eat breakfast after you work out.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: And what happens when you eat a meal and then go straight to work?
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: You're tired, you feel like you just need to get moving, you need to go on a walk or something.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: So there are two different ways you can do this.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: One, you can eat breakfast before going to your gym, or two, you can go to the gym fasted, then eat breakfast, then go on a walk.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: The only thing is that takes more time, but it's not a bad idea.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now, so you have shower, it's shower slash get ready for the day, prayer and bible, um, gym uh breakfast, gym, boom, done.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Then you're gonna go into your day.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: What I do is I have a my one thing blog.
