Friday night 1 am… just finishing the day.
I’m not one of those entrepreneurs who runs around saying “if you’re not up at 5 am you’re never going to be successful” or “the late night hustle and grind is a must if you want to win”.
I don’t believe you HAVE to do anything. In fact, I actually think you’ll be MORE successful if you’re getting enough sleep, working out, eating well, spending significant time not working and disconnected, etc…. basically you have to take care of yourself if you want to be able to build and maintain a successful business.
BUT I didn’t always practice that. I worked all through the night. I woke up at the crack of dawn and dragged myself through the morning and got to the gym at 7 am because I was told that if I didn’t get up early, workout early, and stay up late I wasn’t working hard enough.
We’ve all heard it. And honestly, it’s all bullshit.
I’m more efficient, more effective, happier, healthier, and making 3x the money now that I DON’T operate that way. Why? INTENTION.
Now I choose to operate from a place of alignment and let everything just flow. I wake up naturally, usually between 7 and 8. I reserve my mornings for routine, mindset and writing. My day starts around 10 and I go to the gym at 3. Sometimes I work after the gym in the afternoons, sometimes I don’t. I basically follow what I feel called to do (unless I have a scheduled session or meeting) and go with whatever comes up. Sure, I line out tasks I need to do each day and week but I don’t force myself to do them until my fingers bleed and my eyeballs want to pop out. Not anymore.
And yes, there are occasional nights where I’m in a flow and I have a boatload of things to do so I just keep working way past my normal bedtime. A lot of times, those nights tend to be a Friday night…ya know because being an Entrepreneur is ultra glamorous.
But you see that’s really the beautiful thing, when you’re intentional and in alignment and in control of your own world then you can easily do that and it doesn’t disrupt anything.
It actually ALL feels good. When simply living your life is essentially your “work”, you know you’re doing something right.
