The best hustlers out there advising others to wake up by 5 in the morning. They say it changes life. No, that is not true. Do you know what really changes lives? When we wake up at 03:57 in the morning. Here is why.

There is no difference in trying to wake up at 5 in the morning as opposed to 6. Most people wake up at 6. The parks will be crowded, the breakfast places are going to be packed.

5 in the morning will be the new 6 in the new future. Why? Because everyone is listening to the advice of waking up at 5 in the morning!

So, no. We do not want to do that.

Why bother? We make adjustments to our lifestyle, waking up at 5 in the morning, just to find the same faces loitering around our neighborhood at 6 a few months ago.

That is terrible advice.

What we should really do is beat the competition before luminaries start realizing that 4 in the morning is the real deal.

How do we beat the 4 am, 5 am crowd?
