The 5AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life.

A must read adventure if you want to breakthrough
The 5 AM Club is, much like all of Sharma’s work, a book for anyone looking to breakthrough to the next level. Here’s what I love about Robin Sharma, much like Patrick Lencioni and Paulo Coelho, he uses a fable style to deliver incredible content in a way anyone can consume and enjoy. As a business owner and leader, he offers a different way to learn leadership lessons, hundreds of quotes and takeaways, and language that is compelling and different. The genius exists in telling a story about a powerful orator instead of personally taking ownership of the material himself. The entrepreneur, the artist, and the homeless man in the book go on an adventure that is closer to reality than fiction. Richard Branson and many other billionaires of our time create moments and opportunities like this for people in their lives and vulnerability, authenticity, and a little luck can create these opportunities for others. In 2013, a client in our clothing store created a moment for my wife and I that changed the course of our lives and it started from a brief conversation and simply asking a question.In 2014, I read the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. I was an attorney who had finished law school and knew I wanted to pursue something different and I did not know what. The book helped me commit to the career path I chose, in real estate (not becoming a monk), and as wild as it sounds, like the Alchemist by Coelho, instilled hope and adventure back into my imagination. My wife read The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari in one sitting at a time where she was looking to find a path and focus. Then we read The Leader Who Had No Title and in 2015 I lost 55 pounds, took on another vertical position of growth in my company, and committed to getting up at 4:30 AM each morning to run, read, and journal. Robin’s books and his material have driven my wife and I to take the risks and challenge ourselves the way we have. Was it just Robin’s content? No, and yet his books, podcasts, and YouTube videos stick out as watershed experiences on a path to creating our life by design. So much so, that I have borrowed the phrase “with love and respect” from Robin more than a few times. Business books and leadership content could all be the same and it would be boring. A step by step how to wake up at 5 AM and live your life would have been useful and very short. The truth is, like Jim Rohn said, “when enough is enough meets massive action your life will change”. The 5 AM Club tells a story that you need to see, hear, and experience. Just surrender to how wild, crazy, and silly it can be at times to think events like this could occur because when you do allow yourself to imagine that this could be you, one day it will be. Potential mentors, gurus, and masters in your life are more available than you know and when the student is ready they will appear. Robin Sharma outlines the value of getting up at 5 AM, the value of being open to opportunity and adventure, and the value of vulnerability and connection with others. The book is laced with countless business, leadership, and life lessons. It may be the most quotable piece of material from Robin yet and that is saying a lot. This is a great book, and like all of Robin’s content, a must for anyone looking to breakthrough to another level.

The first half is cheesy storytelling, wordy and repetitive BUT
I almost set this book down several times because it’s so wordy and repetitive and wasn’t adding much to my knowledge. I felt as if my time was wasted on a cheesy plot peppered with occasional words of wisdom that were repeated over and over again. The good parts were mere breadcrumbs to keep you reading and frankly I was bored. I never felt satisfied, UNTIL near the end, perhaps the last quarter of the book.I already knew a lot of this information but there was some new info that I appreciated. Although, if you read business and self-improvement books much, you’ll likely already know a lot of this. I’m truly not that picky when it comes to books because I love reading and usually give 5 stars but after 2/3rds through it I was still not getting much value.With regard to the writing method, teaching a bunch of lessons while engrossed in a fictional plot CAN work. If you’ve read the Ishmael series or the Celestine Prophecy, you’ll know how it’s done! This frankly would have been best if written as a smaller book, condensing the first half.BUT, the last quarter or so of the book picked up. Sharma hit his stride! The density of valuable information greatly increased, almost totally making up for its lack in the rest of the book. The cheesy factor diminished and I even cried a little during the Mandela section. I had to chuckle at how he came right to the edge of discussing the Law of Attraction without ever actually saying the words, likely not wanting to turn off less-spiritual readers. But for those of us who know LOA, it was scattered throughout. I loved that. And the practical productivity models and techniques were really good. I did learn some new things there. In the end, I will gladly recommend this book but with the caveat that you’ll have to show some forgiveness as you read the first half. It’s worth it. 😊

Good read
A good read. If you liked 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari' then this is in a similar style. An easy to follow story and very motivational.

Optimiza tu tiempo comenzando desde el inicio de la jornada.
Aquí una novela con una historia entretenida donde por algún motivo se ha convertido en un best seller con 15 millones de libros vendidos . El poder de los buenos hábitos y la capacidad de transformación de estos con la fortaleza mental necesaria son posiblemente los mensajes capitales de una historia de ficción pero que daría trama suficiente para crear una película que bien le vendría a la sociedad actual sin con eso se consigue que cada uno , limpie bien su patio . El poder de la disciplina en el inicio del día y como esa dinámica contribuye positivamente a generar salud, riqueza y sabiduría posiblemente es el título resumen de esta obra que muchos consideran de autoayuda pero que además de serlo esconde mensajes extraordinarios sobre lo que implica ser diferencial fuera de la masa en un mundo cada vez más banal y distraído con las nuevas tecnologías. Eso permite crear ventajas competitivas gigantescas generando círculos virtuosos vitales . La generosidad, gratitud , disciplina y el foco terminan desembocando en la abundancia . Para aquellos de vosotros que os genere inquietud el crecimiento personal a través del hábito y la perseverancia, este libro os encantará. Nuestros tres hijos tienen el mandato de leerlo y hacer un resumen en bullet points del mismo . Tiene mensajes grandiosos y recibirlos cuando uno tiene toda una vida por delante , sin duda un Tesoro .
