"The 3 A.M. Mindset: Finding Confidence and Purpose Before the World Wakes"

Readers, when I first started this blog, I thought I was a weirdo for talking about something that people don't normally discuss—waking up and working on their dreams at 3:00 a.m. I've always found that time of the morning to be sacred. It gave me a sense that I was headed toward my ultimate destination and becoming the person I wanted to be: a world-class radio personality, known as one of the best to have ever done it. Yet, I have not reached that point, even though I have won major awards. But I've always believed in my heart that preparing myself at 3:00 a.m. was the linchpin in my career. I always thought of myself when I was sitting in the office almos two and a half hours before it was time for me to go on air; I wanted to feel like I was the only morning man in America who was already at work, and it gave me a sense of ownership and internal confidence to know that I was putting in this type of work, this amount of pressure on myself, to get where I wanted to go. Trust me, it did take me exactly where I thought it would, and that’s why trusting your intuition—trusting your gut on what you really, truly believe about yourself—is essential. People would ask, "What's the big deal about waking up at 3:00 a.m.?" I’d say, for me, in my mind, I wanted it to be the differentiating factor in whether I was going to be successful or not. It was the bar I set for myself in accomplishing my personal ambition. I hope that by sharing this with you, I can give you some sense that what you think about yourself is true, and you’re not the only one who thinks about these things as you grow—degree by degree—in understanding your true self. So, if waking up at 3:00 a.m. is sacred to you, like it is to me, stay locked into this blog, as I will share more of myself with you on this subject.
