Waking up early is probably the best thing you can ever do if you’re trying to become wealthy or free from the shackles of the corporate world.

To get started making some real money you’ve got to put in the time anywhere you can get it. For most that is early morning when you have no other distractions and have a fresh, clear mind. 4 hours of work per day is more than plenty to get started. Imagine waking up at 5am and having all of your work done by 9am. You have the entire rest of the day to enjoy as you wish.

The best way to wake up early is to have a reason to wake up early. I started waking up early because I wanted to. I had been wanting to do it for a long time. I would wake up early one day and then wake up later the next day and the day after until I was back to waking up at my normal time. So I made it my goal to catch the sunrise every single morning and before you know it I was up every single day watching the sun rise. If I had no goal I would have just stayed in bed.

But sunrise still wasn’t early enough for my liking so I found a gym partner who wasn’t a bullshitter and wanted to get in at 5:30 every morning. I started waking up at 5am because I met my gym partner at the gym every morning at 5:30. Even if I wanted to stay in bed there is no way I’m not going to meet someone at the gym at the time I said I would.

Since then, waking up early is just habit and routine. Heck, if I wake up at 7:30am I feel like I wasted a whole day.

The morning is when you have no disturbance, you are completely free to create and work as you wish. The whole world is sound is asleep in their beds and you’re wide awake ready to kill it.

Eventually they’ll all say to you “Oh, I wish I could do what you do. I just don’t have the time.” And you won’t do anything but silently laugh at them.

Early Birds Vs. Night Owls

An Early Bird is one who wakes up early and thrives in the morning. A Night Owl is someone who is most productive in the evening or night.

I’m an early bird. I don’t do any work at night. None. I eat dinner and then climb into bed around 8 or 9 every single night.

But I wasn’t always an early bird. I was an extreme night owl for most of my life. Literally going to bed sometimes at 7 or 8am. I became an early bird simply by desiring it.

How to Become an Early Bird

Becoming an early bird is as easy as making the conscious decision to become an early bird. Say the following words to yourself “I’m an early bird. I like waking up early. That’s when I get the most work done.” It doesn’t matter if it’s true now. The more you say it the more it will become reality.

When I first started lifting weights I hated it. I dragged myself to the gym. At a certain point I just started lying to myself and saying “I love working out. I can’t wait to go work out” and that’s exactly what happened in a very short period of time.

How to Wake Up Early Everyday

• Make the decision to become an early riser
• Have a reason to wake up early (i.e. have something to work on or have a gym partner waiting for you at the gym every morning)
• Be in bed at the same time each night

Make the decision and force yourself up at 5am the first day. That night you will likely be tired earlier than normal. That’s good. You will need to start going to bed earlier, and preferably at the same time, each night.

To be able to be up at 5am every day and be refreshed you must go to bed earlier than normal. Sleeping from midnight to 5am will not leave most people feeling refreshed. But sleeping from 9pm to 5am will leave most people refreshed and ready to start the day at 5am.

It’s a good idea to be in bed by 9pm every night. I’m in my bed under the covers by 9pm every night without fail. I’m often in bed by 8pm. The amount of sleep needed varies by person, but you should know how much sleep you need to function at your best.

What Are Your Priorities?

Is it your priority to go out every night to get blackout drunk?

Is your priority going out every night to pick up hot babes?

Is your priority to sit at home on the computer and chat on facebook all night?

If it is your priority to make something of yourself then you will make it happen by waking up early.

You can read a hundred internet articles about how to wake up early but if it isn’t your priority, your real priority, you’re just wasting your time. If it isn’t your priority to wake up early and get to killing then you’re just bullshitting and pretending.

The 5 second version of “How to Wake Up Early Everyday”:

Have a purpose and a reason to wake up early everyday.

1) Be Tall - Women want to look up to a man, literally and figuratively.

2) Be Rich - A rich man is equivalent to a beautiful woman. Have you ever seen a fat girl riding shotgun in a Lamborghini?

3) Be Handsome - You will find some internet sites that bewilderingly proclaim “Looks don’t matter”. We’ll call those guys virgins. Looks matter - make yourself look the best you can.

4) Be Jacked - I have seen the power of being jacked with my own two eyes. Now I’m no Zeus replica but I’m in shape and when women touch my arms and my abs the first thing they say, with huge eyes, is “Oh my God!”.

5) Be Highly Confident - You’ve seen the guy in the bar with the sideways baseball cap and the blonde on his arm just eating it up. I got some sour news for some guys: Women love the guys you call douchebags. Because they are confident enough to be a douchebag without a care what anyone else thinks.

6) Do Not Supplicate to Her - Tease her like a little sister. If you tease your little sister and don’t take her seriously she is going to look at with you giant eyes and a huge smile. But even your little sister will shit all over you if you act in a spineless and dickless manner around her.

7) Be Sarcastically Funny but not Self-Deprecating - Women absolutely love to be teased, but they do not love when you make fun of yourself. She wants to look up to you so don’t tear yourself down, even in a joking manner.

8) Do Not Be Needy - Needy people are annoying to everyone.

9) Don’t be a Nice Guy - You don’t have to be mean or rude to women, you just don’t ever want to be thought of as a “nice guy” or a “great guy”. That conversation always starts and ends the same: “I think you’re a great guy…. and someday you’re going to meet a woman who will make you happy“.

10) Be Pre-occupied with Your Own World - Make her a part of your world. Whatever you are excited about she will genuinely become excited about as well. Do not become a part of her world - do not stay at home and watch chick flicks and tv shows about gay dancers or whatever that shit is that’s popular right now. Do your own thing and make sure it is a priority for you. If you have nothing going on then start a website and work on that.

11) Don’t be Too Available - I am not saying play some game where you don’t answer every 4th call. I am saying genuinely be too busy to take her calls or to see her sometimes. Remember, you don’t need to rush to call her back 13 seconds after she called you. It can wait as long as you need.

12) Have Excellent Style - Give her an excuse to come and talk to you. “Wow, I love your scarf / shirt / jacket whatever“.

13) Make Decisions - When she says “what do you want for dinner?” you say “Fried pork ribs“. Don’t play the “I dunno, what do you want?” game.

14) Be Aggressive in Bed - Women do not like timidity, especially in the bedroom. Be a Gentleman in public, be a caveman in private. This is also true for women: Be a lady in public and a whore in private. Here is an extra tip: Women absolutely love to be objectified. But only by winners.

15) Do Not Fall for internet Pick-Up Artist (PUA) scams - Those programs are written by societies losers for other losers. And they don’t work.

16) Do not take advice from women about how to win a woman’s heart - They will lie to your face and tell you to be nice, buy her things, bring her roses and all the other baloney they know doesn’t work. They will also lie to other women and say things like “no, you aren’t fat! You should eat more! Your haircut doesn’t make you look like a boy, it’s super cute!“.

17) Give up Masturbation and Internet Porn or Cut Down Tremendously - This will do wonders for your confidence, your energy levels, your ambition and your charisma. Read all about it here.

18) Don’t Be Scared to Say Hi - Picking up women is simply a numbers game. If you see a pretty girl on the street, and she gives you some eye contact, go ahead and say “hi”. “Hello” is a bit formal, “hi” is much better. To get over that fear of talking to women make a deal with yourself to say hi to 5 girls one day, 6 girls the next day, 7 girls the next and so on until it’s a matter of habit. Next thing you know you’re Casanova.

Pick 5-7 of the above traits and you will do ok with women.

The real deal truth is that you need to concentrate on your career (money), you need to concentrate on your physique and health, you need to take care of yourself, you need to be the master of your own domain, you need to bring her into your world and not go into her world (like watching chick flicks every Friday night), and you need to hold yourself to a masculine standard. If you do not have a pussy you do not need to be in touch with your “feminine side”. If you worship the ground she walks on, she will not respect you. If you don’t worship the ground she walks on, she will worship the ground you walk on. And everybody’s happy.
