 The life that you start to live when you have a why not attitude is full of adventure every day where I used to think for myself that I was a night person and and I would always oh mornings are not for me I'm a night out blah blah blah and it wasn't until I actually had that same attitude where I had amazing things to do every day to where I kept wanting to get up earlier and earlier because I was so excited about what each day became and it wasn't because I was a night person it was just I didn't have these other things going on and it wasn't until it was a why not attitude where everything opens up. Yeah and I can relate to that so much because to be honest I was the exact same way and I'm embarrassed to admit this but I would like there was no way I was getting to sleep before too it just wasn't possible and there were days successful sober days where I was waking up at 10 a.m. yeah and I'm trying to run this business I'm pretending like I'm an entrepreneur you know whatever and I'm waking up late and sleeping in it wasn't until a friend challenged me to start waking up and I think it started with like a week you know wake up for a week at 7 a.m. yeah that's it and then all of a sudden you start doing it you realize it's not that hard you realize oh I have time to work out what working out is like you know and then all of a sudden now now I'm the guy who wakes up at 7 a.m. works out three days a week and doesn't I'm the completely different guy because of a challenge to wake up early for you know what I mean and it was the same way I was a night guy too yeah yeah it's easy to make that your narrative living in Hollywood we were laughing about where we were living earlier you know we live in the epicenter of nightlife here in LA so it's easy to get caught up in that and sleep in and then make that hey I'm just a cool entrepreneur I'm sleeping until 11 now I'm checking my emails but when you actually start getting up earlier before everyone else is hammering you can actually get that alone time you can get that meditation and you can get that workout in and then hit the ground running instead of playing catch up at 11 like oh my god my inbox is insane how am I going to get through this day yeah I mean for especially because this is the kind of the thing of this episode for a guy that deals with anxiety on any level the difference between starting your day on offense and starting it on defense is like a night and day difference amazing for every interaction it changes the way I am in this podcast it's the difference of waking up and having an inbox full of things and feeling like you're the late one and having time to meditate and take some time to yourself and do whatever and then approach the day however you want to approach it like it is a game changer and it was so funny I mean I would hear that advice constantly even I guess we had on the show about successful people get up early they get up before everyone else I'm like I can be successful and sleep in I can be successful and stay up all night working it actually doesn't work that way yeah it doesn't we are not wired to be productive that late at night you can say you are you can say you're bucking the trend but the proof is in the pudding we've had enough guests on over the years to know that getting up early early rising gets things done it does
