 What's up, everybody? Ricky Caruth here. So today I want to talk about why I wake up at 4.30 in the morning every day. I get this question a lot. Why are you waking up so early? What are you doing? What's going on? You know, don't you need sleep? All that good stuff. So I wanted to make this video to answer this question and I'm going to make another video of my entire morning routine so that you get the full picture of everything I'm doing through the week. Okay, but today I just want to answer the simple question why I get up at 4.30 every morning. And the answer is this. Through my life and all the ups and downs and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't work, trying to figure out how to be more efficient, trying to figure out how to be more productive, get more done in less time, I've found that if I wake up at 4.30 every morning and work for that extra hour from 4.30 to 5.30 every day, then go to the gym, then do my thing, then go to the office, then do all my other stuff, which I'll talk about in another video. But that extra hour every day adds up to five extra hours a week because I do it Monday through Friday. Okay, so Monday through Friday, I'm getting an extra hour of work in every day. So that's five extra hours. That's literally an extra day per week. So I'm getting six days a week of work days, whereas everybody else gets five work days a week. I'm getting six hours wise because I'm spending an extra hour at the beginning of my day crushing everything. I'm working on emails, messaging, I'm figuring out my priorities. I'm doing all the little things that I'm doing behind the scenes, posting my YouTube video, emailing my coaching database, giving them that morning motivation, whatever I'm doing, I'm working. And that extra hour gives me an extra day every week, and that puts me so far ahead of everybody else. And that's where I want to be. I want to be so far ahead, nobody can see me. Okay, so if you think about it, an extra day each week, that's 52 extra days per year. Okay, that's over 100 extra days in two years, over 100 extra days. Okay, so that extra hour adds up to be so much. Okay, and if you have a big enough, why, if you have a big enough reason for why you're trying to succeed, why you're trying to do what you're trying to do, then you will jump out of bed at 430 in the morning, run to whatever it is that you can work on at the moment, and make it happen, and make those extra hours count, and go towards the bigger picture behind what you're trying to do. So that's why I decided about a year ago or so to start waking up at 430 to get that extra hour in, and it makes all the difference in the world. So I hope this video clears up why I get up at 430. Like I say, I have another video coming about my entire morning routine. So be able to look out for that. Give me a like, give me a thumbs up, shoot me a comment, let me know what you think. Let me know if you have any questions, let me know what videos you want me to make, or if you have any questions whatsoever. Thank you guys so much, and I'll see you on the next video.
