Loved the interview Marie and Robin! Took so much notes in my phone at 5am that i'll start this today and order Robin's book, I heard about it first from a friend a while ago but never took it in until watching this interview to fully understand it. I am a night owl but realize if I want to get more done, stop beating up myself for not getting things done and getting in a cycle of depression about it I need to start this and have a morning routine. I agree with another commenter that it's rooted in old wisdom passed down religiously, I pray every morning and meditate and want to also keep up with this to move my body, set my intentions, read and push myself to be my better self. Thank you so much! God bless.
One of Robin''s earliest books "Who Will Cry When You Die" starts with the quote “When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.” I love this quote, I try to live it every day! After reading this book I started waking up one hour earlier and my life changed. Now that I have twins and do not sleep at night, stopped the routine. This video inspired me to go back to it. Thanks Marie, Thanks Robin!
You're right: Robin offers us awesome educational content. I have a curiosity: Why don't we receive self-improvement education in the education system? People have been sharing the message for years: ruclips.net/video/ZMxbPZvxftI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/KLODGhEyLvk/видео.html The education system is a joke because uneducated people are better ... slaves. How can we think in terms of solutions as long as we don't work on the cause? What's the cause? What can we achieve as long as the interest is… enslavement? We don't even have too much time to ponder: Our current world challenge leads toward their NWO - new world order, a world of total enslavement because so far we ignored the cause (interest for… enslavement). www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica2/esp_sociopol_nwo278.htm Their motto is: order out of chaos: When the chaos is big enough they can impose their new world order. Our challenge is to prevent chaos that for the most part is already a reality. Are you tough enough to accept our challenge?
He says his concepts are new, but they are deeply rooted in what my religion already teaches about a balanced self development, "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men," quiet time, prayer, meditation, serving others, who we become. But you can never repeat solid principles too often. Amen to losing the phone for most of the day!
Totally agree. most of the books titled in a refreshing way -most of wisdom were written in ancient texts scripture Bible Tao Buddhist Indian manuscripts, etc like Edckart tolle about the power of now has been said thousands of years in spiritual ancient texts . What they are doing are just reminding the world of ancient wisdom.
I've been getting up at 5.00am for many months and get so much more done. The take away for me though was the 5 hour work day. I get konked out around 2.00 but have been feeling guilty about finishing around 3.00 because I've been so tired. Now I get it. I'm finishing at 2.00 without guilt. This was a really awesome interview thank you for sharing.
I just finished listening (audio book) and at the same time reading (ebook) the 5am Club. Just had to simultaneously do that to listen to a chapter 1st, then read it to jot down amazing points that jumped at me. Powerful book 👍🏽 And though I have been struggling to wake up at 5am, I know that I will finally get through the required '66 days' because "All change is hard at first, messy in the middle and georgeous at the end" 😊
Today I started with the 5 am Club. Last night, I told myself tomorrow you wake up easily and refreshed. Guess, what happened. It´s just a matter of setting the mind right and it was easy to get up. I get lots of things done. I'm committed. Thank you Robin for this wonderful idea. It´s a life changer.
For the past year, I was getting up at 3-4 am every day to teach children online in China. Now, that I'm running my own business from home, I fell back into sleeping in. I watched this last night & got myself up this morning and, it really is game changing. Your productivity goes up sooooo much! Thank you, Marie- for the wonderful work that you do! Daily inspiration & motivation! I got so many other reminders in here - esp the playing with the phone notes. I really do get so much more accomplished when I leave my phone in another room while I am working
Being a long time Robin Sharma and Marie Forleo fan, I jumped out of bed to watch this, bring out my notebook and take down notes intensely. This is just what I needed during these times of uncertainty. As I battle through these changing times, what stood out for me the most is at 11:12 - 11:21, "The most undercurrents of anxiety and fear in our culture is a fear of irrelevance and somehow that our best days are behind us." and how we can activate the primal genius within us.
The insight that really resonated with me was when Robin said, "Instinct is much more powerful and wise than intellect." Oftentimes, I do struggle to listen to my gut and follow it. I"m scared of going through uncharted waters and drowning, not knowing there are rewards and fulfilment in them. A lot of people do. But I'm so glad I stuck with my gut many times, the most major occasion was when my parents asked me which course to take in college. I immediately abandoned my vanity and pointless struggle of becoming a doctor. Though I still love science, I'm not passionate about medicine, as I was, before. I"m now pursuing my dreams of becoming a writer. Side note, I just started my journey of being an early riser. This is my 2nd official day of waking up at 5a.m. My ultimate goal is 4 a.m. Hopefully I"ll make it! Wish me luck! Hope you find my story inspiring.
Wow, I must admit I never heard of Robin before but what a gentleman, what an inspiration. Feel like I need to listen to this interview again, so much to take in. Thank you Marie! Thank you Robin! 🙏
I leave for work at 5:28am, so for me it is more likely going to be the 3:30am club. I already get up at 4am and meditate and read (lately I've had a tab open on the comp of Rumi quotes and pick one and ponder how it relates to me for a little while). I'm currently renovating my rec room in the basement...tread mill and squat rack are down there now, just needs a few more items and it's a whole 3:30am Club home base up and running. Thanks for this Marie...i've been following Robin for a few years now...The Monk that sold his Ferrari helped me peel back some layers, and now this one is helping build some new ones.
The best insight for me was to know/ remember how much time and creativity I am wasting with the phone and also, what’s the point on being busy doing the wrong thing? It crushed me now. I will definitely bring back my habit of getting up at 5am, I remembered today how great it was.
I joined the 5 am club when I quit my job to change my life back in January 2020. Found that if I established a routine and stuck to it (and I have), my day is much more productive and fulfilling. I do a 30/30/30/30-45 with the word of God first, prayer journaling next, then reading. Then I follow with 30-45 min of yoga. I am now working again, and found that those 3 months of “sabbatical” to establish a morning routine have been precious and valuable to me and helped me get off to a great start! Not that I’m perfect, sometimes I’m tired and I get up at 5:30 or sleep in on Sunday, but on the weekdays I stick to it and I look forward to that time every day. Thanks for a great message!
This is one of my favorite show EVER!!!! Thanks Marie for hosting and Robin thanks for being who you are . I wrote so much notes from the show and got to say even cry at 12:21 min ish of the show... As an Ayurvedic Doctor , I talked so often about waking up earlier for all doshas ( combination of the 5 elements).My most grounding and successful clients are the one who has a very strong morning routine and wake up earlier then the norm .For the people who thinks they will be tired , lack of energy , I would say try it and you will see .Noted that I suggested that people goes to bed earlier in order to accomplish this routine( max 10:00pm in the beginning) . Often we lost so much of energy at night with things that on the long road won't make a difference in the world !! Cant wait to read your book Robin!
Thank You, Marie !!!!! That is one of the best interviews I have seen in a while!!!! I learned so much!!!! I need to apply the 20/20/20 rule to my life. And I need to start taking breaks at home. just like at work. I work for two hours, take a ten-minute break. The main reason I am building my hot rods. Is to take road trips and see my friends and family. Each day is a gift. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Absolutely inspiring, Marie and Robin ❤️ Couldn't have released this at a more perfect time! In all due respect to others, this lock down period has been immensely transformational and positive for me. I'm uber inspired to be more effective in my life. The portion about service and 5 hour of focused work absolutely stood out 🙏
Hi Marie, thank you for your TV program, I enjoyed the talk you had with Robin Sharma. I am committing myself to 66days waking up @ 5am doing 20/20/20 formula. I am also in a space of finding myself. I have so much passion on bringing smile to people, even if I can act behind the scene, but as long as I can l see a smile in just one person a day. I am learning,, I am listening... and I will reach my destiny
I'm in last 20 minutes of my 5am practice today and watching this video. and its 10 days that I'm in its so fantastic experience, its Nowruz holidays in Iran and everything is so beautiful thank you for your good video
Hallelujah! Always wondered why you hadn’t interviewed Sharma before. Fabulous interview and incredible guest. I’ve read most of Sharma’s book and he has had a profound effect in my lifestyle. I’ve practiced on and off waking up early and when I do. I am my 100% best. Can’t wait to get my hands on the 5am club book!
I try! The earliest I get up is usually 5:45. Hubby's a firefighter, works days and nights and every X amount of days it changes. It's hard to create a concrete schedule. I try to get up and actually be ”productive” as much as I can. I have Multiple Sclerosis so that's a challenge in itself lol. Great interview. Especially During this time :)
1. Rest: today just a while before watching this video I discovered I had been expecting myself to be hustling 24/7. It was a couple of hours after I had woken up and I was washing some dishes when I lost my focus and I started beating myself up, when I realized: “Oh I haven’t put my butt on a chair for two hours now. I need to be taking breaks unapologetically throughout my day.” 2. Who did you become and how many people did you serve? I can start giving my full undivided attention to whoever is in front of me and whatever I am doing and schedule a brainstorming session for figuring out my work. 3. There has never been so uncrowded in world class.
I appreciate Robin's passion and desire to make a positive difference. I agree with much of what he says, but have realized my mind, heart and body are wired for a more feminine approach. My entire body clenched up at the idea of getting up at 5:00 am! I am super productive - creativity and practically - by listening to my own rhythm. The beautiful of our "niche culture" is that we have SO MANY more role models and can choose those that resonate strongly. Someone who coaches "Wall Street billionaires" and Kayne West has limited appeal for me. Grateful for the ideas and the message to listen to our own instincts.
My natural rhythm would be getting out of bed without an alarm clock or a baby crying, sleeping in a tad bit. Moving thru my morning slowly. I totally get what you are saying. Everyone is different :)
Also, the 20/20/20 is great during this pandemic because in the midst of this craziness, it's more important than ever to find time of quietness to center ourselves, take control of any fear or angst, and become creative... clear inner closets, figure out what you want your future to look like, set the goals and figure out how to get there while sitting in place. What to do today to move toward the goal; how much of it can I get done while I'm stuck in this place? I hate the pandemic and what it's doing. I wanna get out. But until I do, I'm gonna do what I can, right here. Thanks again.
Wow! Thank you so much even all the time has passed since you put it on the Tube, it is still shining and resonated every single word that you exchanged with Mr. Sharma. God bless you and also I wish everyone listening to this lead a living-larger-than-life to fulfill your mission and your purpose and your contributions to next generation to follow. Thank you so much, Marie! 🙏
Incredible interview. Thanks, Marie. I mean seriously though - Who's more inspirational than Robin Sharma? The way he seemingly effortlessly drops gems on gems is incredible.
Few months ago I started to leave the phone outside my bedroom while going to sleep, definitely going back to that Habit after this interview. No distraction while sleeping no thoughts of checking text or opening RUclips before falling asleep and most important the urge to check on the phone right after waking up disappears.
So true...when trying to maximize productivity, phone distractions are creativity killers! The POMODORO TECHNIQUE has been something I recently implemented and it has been INSTRUMENTAL in my productivity. Phone out of sight and out of mind so my mind can soar!
My biggest takeaway from this is that I need Marie's dress. :D In all honesty, "Life's greatest heartbreak is being untrue to yourself" hit me deep in my soul. Going to be trusting my instinct and inner whisper and take action regardless of external pressure.
Whatever Robin says are words of pure gold and handcrafted with wisdom, beauty and "granularity". I am 17 now and have started off with the 5AM Club idea followed by the 20/20/20 rule (hope this works great for me🤞😬) . What I really liked about this talk is that it is enriched by the valuable insights of the host Marie (this is my first time watching her). Because what I notice most of the times is that hosts are generally passive in approach : they ask questions, nod with affirmation to the interviewee and then done - they lack an opinion of their own - not the case with Marie! What I think is that everybody's biological clock works in a different way and they should follow an active and productive routine. Some may be night owls and be more productive, so I think they should fight in companionship of their body rather than against it in inculcating a productive and fruitful way of leading lives. This is especially when it's difficult for some to make extreme alterations in their lifestyle because it may turn counterproductive and even hazardous. Anyways, thanks for this amazing talk!
beautifully articulated. So pleased you have found Marie. Her work is incredible. You might like her book Everything is Figureoutable' too. Do check out her interview with Simon Sinek on the infinite game. Could resonate. You're absolutely right that we are each uniquely wired as an evolutionary need, to be those morning larks or night owls. So 5 a.m might feel great for some, very punishing for others. So a reminder to always listen from within and let your inner awareness guide you.
Thanks a lot for your kind suggestion and appreciation 😊. I will definitely try to follow on your great advice! You can not be more correct in saying that our inner awareness is our best guide though it seems very mystic and "whispers to us" (as Robin Sharma often remarks) but I think it's something the Omnipotent blesses us with and we often fail to notice it. I hope can utilize this blessing in the best way possible!
This man's book The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari felt like a coming home when I was 19 years old. I would sit in a tiny piece of nature in the city and felt like finally someone was speaking my language! He opened my eyes to the potential of life. Love this man and amazing to see his own evolution 12 years later!
Who doesn't love a great morning routine? I also think I am addicted to scheduling, productivity, and morning routines haha! I'm glad people are starting to be more diverse with their morning routines. For awhile everyone on youtube had a copy and paste morning routine. Unfortunately, that does not work for everyone. I'm glad we can all customize our own for our own best productivity. Thanks for the interview!
Also, I'm a first time commenter and a long time fan. So many takeaways. Biggest insight for me was you two talking about shoddy work. I've noticed a lot of shoddy work and I thought it was just me being too perfectionistic. Very inspiring interview. Thank you so much!
This is one of my favorite episodes of Marie TV! I avoided it because I thought it would be pushy and like 'this is how you need to live', from a very masculine perspective, but it's so full of profound wisdom and not pushy at all. I was blown away. I'm going to watch it again right now :) Thank you both for this episode!
I have to say I've been looking away a lot when seeing Robin's 5am Club book all over the world. I was convinced it's one of those 24/7 hustle madnesses. What an absolutely beautiful conversation. Thank you so much. I've been writing in my monthly goals for months now how I'm going to stop scrolling first thing in the morning and before bed. This is the time. I've just realised that I get my best ideas for my videos and everything that I do when I'm doing yoga, having a shower or reflecting in my bed late at night. Got to create more of those moments during my day. Thank you thank you xx
I just read his book. It is life changing. I can't wait to see the results after 66 days of getting up at 5 am and doing the 20 20 20 formula. I am also taking Robin's quest on Mindvalley right now 😁🔝
Great concepts. I’ve been getting up at 4:30 am for 3 months. It’s GREAT to experience the quiet energies of the morning. And walking into the NEW SUN as it rises into my world is pure magic. (I am Not Saying to have your eyes open. But a little peak is beautiful). The methods your speaking on have been instrumental for my sanity through this PANDEMIC / Isolation. Thank you. Is your book on Audible? I’m getting it!
Fantastic interview, Marie! Thank you- I’m getting this book ASAP. Also kudos for closing your business operations a few weeks a year. That’s a gift to everyone and sets a precedent of effective leadership.
Literally LOVE everything about this, I truly learned so much and I loved almost everything about how Marie conducted the interview but personally, I just couldn’t help but notice how many times she turned things around back to herself. I understand that relatability is sometimes needed and makes your interviewee feel more relaxed but she did it almost through the whole interview which really bothered me. Maybe it’s just a pet peeve from an insiders perspective but like I said if we take that away than it’s an amazing interview!
My fav book is" the monk who sold his Ferrari " and now i am reading the 5 am club...very interesting .I love the way he narrate the story and every page is inspiring and motivational 💕
WOW! WOW! WOW! fabulous show and this is the first I have been introduced to Robin Sharma and I have now ordered his book, "The 5am Club" and am totally excited to learn more. I will begin my new practice of the "20/20/20 Formula." So inspiring. My biggest take away today was the information on elite performers not operating like a marathon and more like a sprint. At 61 years young, and in the beginning of running my own coaching/speaking business, I do not have the stamina to put in the "work hours of hustle." Thank you for the permission to work at my pace and not at what society says is the hustle I should work. Loved this!!!
What an incredible resonating words from Robin. I first learnt about this book (5 a.m Club) through my WhatsApp group-"Pacesetters leadership club", Ibadan , Nigeria. I kept procrastinating to read this , (may be because, up finishingrealized inspiration. officially
It's worth watching and I feel so regret that i have seen this epic masterpiece so late.. Thank you @Marie @Robin to make this happen to my life when I need it in this period of my tough time in my life..!!!
Hi Marie, you made me so happy when I saw this post. Seeing you with him 😃. He is great, my mentor on habits. Everything from inside out. And this is not a weird thing that I am reading the book, page 250 ☺️I enrolled to the club and using this amazing quarantine tome to get strong 💪 pushing my self. I love it. Getting more commitment every day. 😊✨ Thanks
The 20/20/20 is a great idea in the middle of this pandemic! I get up BEFORE 5 a.m. (I get up at 4) because my household gets up at 6 in the morning. That gives me an hour to myself and an hour to be productive before the house gets crazy. The 20/20/20 will help me because sometimes I take the hour just to meditate or sometimes I take the hour for physical activity. This way I can do all three and not feel guilty about wasting the hour on just doing one thing. Thanks for 20/20/20.
Thank you so much Marie and Robin ! This video is absolutely a life changing message. It really helps to relate to the connection of human's behavior and habits with success. Its a wake up call for everyone who on the path of finding or chasing their meaning of life, which seems more likely to be ignored nowadays. This interview really fills me with encouragement and belief to get out of the comfort zone and get the work done. Such a deep and beautiful with outstanding scientific mental analyzation video !
I’ve listened to the Audiobook and it was such a beautiful written piece. Will keep referring back to this book, this amazing interview, and sharing this beautiful knowledge with other people. Thank you! 💖🙏🏽
Hello from the future, lol. I know you wrote that comment a year ago, but I’m curious: you wrote that in the past tense. Have you stopped? It sounds like you are no longer a “member” of the 5 am Club. What’s up?
Great interview! I recently started running my own business full-time and have been struggling with finding balance throughout the day. Looking forward to applying some of these concepts.
Wow, this was a wonderful interview, so many great insights. I love when Robin Sharma said, "Focus in more valuable than intelligence" and I cam definitely agree with that statement. I have seen folks who appear to be less talented and intelligent become more successful because they were focus and committed to achieving a high level of success.
All my life, since a teenager and I am mid 50 now, I have naturally woke up at around 4 AM. I've always been driven to be the best at what I do. Sadly I was also the victim of narcissistic abuse in both family of origin, and in relationships. When I came to understand this just over a year ago, and started on my recovery path, I have become the person I was when the abuse started. I look younger now than I did at 17. My mission has always been to help young people to succeed, which I never had, it was always criticism. This all sounds hippy dippy, but I spent so much time believing that it was me who is flawed, and I don't want that to happen to young people. I have become a day trader (goofy I know- I used to be a landscaper) and my biggest advice to new wannabe traders is FOCUS. It doesn't matter your strategy for what you are doing, FOCUS is the number one thing. I'm very lucky to have been able to tune out and give 100%, and also to just BE, and barely have a heartbeat. But, if you don't have that capacity, just do what is your strength, which may be going to the same job every day. We are so lucky now to have so much information available for free, in my day it was the matched set of the Encyclopedia Britannica :) Getting rid of toxic people is my biggest piece of advice- get a mentor if you have no support. Nobody is 'bad'. I want everyone to be all that they can be.
I'm not a morning person. But with three kids ( 2 boys and a husband lol) I'm slowly gravitating towards the solitude and quietness of an early morning. Not the afternoons and evenings of coming home from work to dinner, homework, and 20 million other to do's in a small window of time or the "crazy jump out of my bed mornings, get ready for work, etc". Yup, giving this a try.
Another super interview! Thanks Marie for continuing to shine your frickin' light so bright. 5 a.m is a bit of a big ask for me and my own circadian rhythm however the principles Robin talks about can still absolutely apply. Will definitely rise earlier and plant those seeds of 5 productive hours. Already massively limit mobile use and that is great starting place for others. P.S loving my second year of B-School.
Yay, thanks for sharing that! This is a beautiful example of asking "How can this work for me?" even when things don't appear to apply to us at first. 👏🧡 -Team Forleo
Thank you so much for getting me all fired up about keeping my 5am morning routine and providing as much quality as possible to the world. All the best Marie, Claire
Really good interview, lots to take away. I agree with many, that the constant phone vibrations and side glances are an immense distraction and productivity killer.
Awesome Marie TV episode! Thanks very much to you both! I'm going to join the 5am club and do the 20/20/20 in that hour for 66 days and see where I'm at then!
Wow, so many powerful "nuggets of wisdom" in this interview - I feel inspired about how I work and about my life and purpose. Thank you for this interview!
WoW, This is is why Islam is great... cause waking up at 5:00 AM or before the sunrise, is something that we have to do everyday in order to pray "Fajr" which is like the first prayer of the day. Read About Islam, you won't regret it.

Marie Forleo Some people are just not early risers. That doesn't make them lazy or less than perfect
Debra Williams here at #NoSnooze we agree. The main take away is make time for yourself to work on you.
Where is your dress from?
Loved the interview Marie and Robin! Took so much notes in my phone at 5am that i'll start this today and order Robin's book, I heard about it first from a friend a while ago but never took it in until watching this interview to fully understand it. I am a night owl but realize if I want to get more done, stop beating up myself for not getting things done and getting in a cycle of depression about it I need to start this and have a morning routine. I agree with another commenter that it's rooted in old wisdom passed down religiously, I pray every morning and meditate and want to also keep up with this to move my body, set my intentions, read and push myself to be my better self. Thank you so much! God bless.
Very insightful
Setting my bed time to 10:30 pm wake up 5:30am going for a run first thing when no one is up. It’s the best feeling lol
I do the same ! keep up doing..
Same!
One of Robin''s earliest books "Who Will Cry When You Die" starts with the quote “When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.”
I love this quote, I try to live it every day! After reading this book I started waking up one hour earlier and my life changed.
Now that I have twins and do not sleep at night, stopped the routine. This video inspired me to go back to it.
Thanks Marie, Thanks Robin!
Thanks Marie I have been craving some content outside of COVID-19. This is great.
Congratulations 🎉👏👏👏🎉❣️
You're right: Robin offers us awesome educational content.
I have a curiosity: Why don't we receive self-improvement education in the education system?
People have been sharing the message for years:
ruclips.net/video/ZMxbPZvxftI/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/KLODGhEyLvk/видео.html
The education system is a joke because uneducated people are better ... slaves.
How can we think in terms of solutions as long as we don't work on the cause?
What's the cause?
What can we achieve as long as the interest is… enslavement?
We don't even have too much time to ponder: Our current world challenge leads toward their NWO - new world order, a world of total enslavement because so far we ignored the cause (interest for… enslavement).
www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica2/esp_sociopol_nwo278.htm
Their motto is: order out of chaos: When the chaos is big enough they can impose their new world order.
Our challenge is to prevent chaos that for the most part is already a reality.
Are you tough enough to accept our challenge?
I believe this was something Robin's father said to him when he was younger, which makes it even more special in my eyes!
🥰
Thank you so much.
- rise before the sun
- 20 20 20 formula : move, reflect, learn
- 5h of deep focus
- rest in important
He says his concepts are new, but they are deeply rooted in what my religion already teaches about a balanced self development, "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men," quiet time, prayer, meditation, serving others, who we become. But you can never repeat solid principles too often. Amen to losing the phone for most of the day!
Thanks for sharing Patricia. Keep up the good habits
So true my sister, just scripture reworded
Totally agree. most of the books titled in a refreshing way -most of wisdom were written in ancient texts scripture Bible Tao Buddhist Indian manuscripts, etc like Edckart tolle about the power of now has been said thousands of years in spiritual ancient texts . What they are doing are just reminding the world of ancient wisdom.
I've been getting up at 5.00am for many months and get so much more done. The take away for me though was the 5 hour work day. I get konked out around 2.00 but have been feeling guilty about finishing around 3.00 because I've been so tired. Now I get it. I'm finishing at 2.00 without guilt. This was a really awesome interview thank you for sharing.
Tremendous to hear the #NoSnooze life is benefitting you. Are you still waking up at 5:00 AM?
5am club members. Goes to boring 08:30 - 07:30 exhausting routine. I take 30 mins power nap at 2 and that helps alot
"Life greatest heartbreak is being untrue to yourself"

I just finished listening (audio book) and at the same time reading (ebook) the 5am Club. Just had to simultaneously do that to listen to a chapter 1st, then read it to jot down amazing points that jumped at me. Powerful book 👍🏽 And though I have been struggling to wake up at 5am, I know that I will finally get through the required '66 days' because "All change is hard at first, messy in the middle and georgeous at the end" 😊
This is how I read these kind of books. I listen and follow the book so I can pause and right notes.
Today I started with the 5 am Club. Last night, I told myself tomorrow you wake up easily and refreshed. Guess, what happened. It´s just a matter of setting the mind right and it was easy to get up. I get lots of things done. I'm committed. Thank you Robin for this wonderful idea. It´s a life changer.
For the past year, I was getting up at 3-4 am every day to teach children online in China. Now, that I'm running my own business from home, I fell back into sleeping in. I watched this last night & got myself up this morning and, it really is game changing. Your productivity goes up sooooo much! Thank you, Marie- for the wonderful work that you do! Daily inspiration & motivation! I got so many other reminders in here - esp the playing with the phone notes. I really do get so much more accomplished when I leave my phone in another room while I am working
Being a long time Robin Sharma and Marie Forleo fan, I jumped out of bed to watch this, bring out my notebook and take down notes intensely. This is just what I needed during these times of uncertainty. As I battle through these changing times, what stood out for me the most is at 11:12 - 11:21, "The most undercurrents of anxiety and fear in our culture is a fear of irrelevance and somehow that our best days are behind us." and how we can activate the primal genius within us.
The insight that really resonated with me was when Robin said,
"Instinct is much more powerful and wise than intellect."
Oftentimes, I do struggle to listen to my gut and follow it. I"m scared of going through uncharted waters and drowning, not knowing there are rewards and fulfilment in them. A lot of people do. But I'm so glad I stuck with my gut many times, the most major occasion was when my parents asked me which course to take in college. I immediately abandoned my vanity and pointless struggle of becoming a doctor. Though I still love science, I'm not passionate about medicine, as I was, before. I"m now pursuing my dreams of becoming a writer.
Side note, I just started my journey of being an early riser. This is my 2nd official day of waking up at 5a.m. My ultimate goal is 4 a.m. Hopefully I"ll make it! Wish me luck! Hope you find my story inspiring.
Jade Mondia what time do you go to sleep?
I am the same way even though I know I have an amazing instinct. I have auras. I have been working on waking up early.
Wow, I must admit I never heard of Robin before but what a gentleman, what an inspiration. Feel like I need to listen to this interview again, so much to take in. Thank you Marie! Thank you Robin! 🙏
Robin Sharma is one of my favourite people in this world.
I leave for work at 5:28am, so for me it is more likely going to be the 3:30am club. I already get up at 4am and meditate and read (lately I've had a tab open on the comp of Rumi quotes and pick one and ponder how it relates to me for a little while). I'm currently renovating my rec room in the basement...tread mill and squat rack are down there now, just needs a few more items and it's a whole 3:30am Club home base up and running. Thanks for this Marie...i've been following Robin for a few years now...The Monk that sold his Ferrari helped me peel back some layers, and now this one is helping build some new ones.
The best insight for me was to know/ remember how much time and creativity I am wasting with the phone and also, what’s the point on being busy doing the wrong thing? It crushed me now. I will definitely bring back my habit of getting up at 5am, I remembered today how great it was.
I joined the 5 am club when I quit my job to change my life back in January 2020. Found that if I established a routine and stuck to it (and I have), my day is much more productive and fulfilling. I do a 30/30/30/30-45 with the word of God first, prayer journaling next, then reading. Then I follow with 30-45 min of yoga. I am now working again, and found that those 3 months of “sabbatical” to establish a morning routine have been precious and valuable to me and helped me get off to a great start! Not that I’m perfect, sometimes I’m tired and I get up at 5:30 or sleep in on Sunday, but on the weekdays I stick to it and I look forward to that time every day. Thanks for a great message!
This is one of my favorite show EVER!!!! Thanks Marie for hosting and Robin thanks for being who you are . I wrote so much notes from the show and got to say even cry at 12:21 min ish of the show... As an Ayurvedic Doctor , I talked so often about waking up earlier for all doshas ( combination of the 5 elements).My most grounding and successful clients are the one who has a very strong morning routine and wake up earlier then the norm .For the people who thinks they will be tired , lack of energy , I would say try it and you will see .Noted that I suggested that people goes to bed earlier in order to accomplish this routine( max 10:00pm in the beginning) . Often we lost so much of energy at night with things that on the long road won't make a difference in the world !! Cant wait to read your book Robin!
"Soulset is about saying, life is short. I'm going to be dust....How can I serve as many people as possible" You put it so great. Thanks!
Thank You, Marie !!!!! That is one of the best interviews I have seen in a while!!!! I learned so much!!!! I need to apply the 20/20/20 rule to my life. And I need to start taking breaks at home. just like at work. I work for two hours, take a ten-minute break. The main reason I am building my hot rods. Is to take road trips and see my friends and family. Each day is a gift. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I can listen to him all day. This is gold. Thanks for having him Marie!
Absolutely inspiring, Marie and Robin ❤️
Couldn't have released this at a more perfect time! In all due respect to others, this lock down period has been immensely transformational and positive for me. I'm uber inspired to be more effective in my life. The portion about service and 5 hour of focused work absolutely stood out 🙏
Hi Marie, thank you for your TV program, I enjoyed the talk you had with Robin Sharma. I am committing myself to 66days waking up @ 5am doing 20/20/20 formula. I am also in a space of finding myself. I have so much passion on bringing smile to people, even if I can act behind the scene, but as long as I can l see a smile in just one person a day. I am learning,, I am listening... and I will reach my destiny
Thanks very much to Marie & Robin❤️My Eagle baby (daughter) & I our 1st day joining 5AM CLUB! Feeling sooo good!!! We will become BILLIONAIRES.
I'm in last 20 minutes of my 5am practice today and watching this video.
and its 10 days that I'm in
its so fantastic experience,
its Nowruz holidays in Iran and everything is so beautiful
thank you for your good video
Hallelujah! Always wondered why you hadn’t interviewed Sharma before. Fabulous interview and incredible guest. I’ve read most of Sharma’s book and he has had a profound effect in my lifestyle. I’ve practiced on and off waking up early and when I do. I am my 100% best. Can’t wait to get my hands on the 5am club book!
I try! The earliest I get up is usually 5:45. Hubby's a firefighter, works days and nights and every X amount of days it changes. It's hard to create a concrete schedule. I try to get up and actually be ”productive” as much as I can. I have Multiple Sclerosis so that's a challenge in itself lol. Great interview. Especially During this time :)
love you Robin Sharma my favourite motivational speaker of all time, since watching to your videos from 2015
1. Rest: today just a while before watching this video I discovered I had been expecting myself to be hustling 24/7. It was a couple of hours after I had woken up and I was washing some dishes when I lost my focus and I started beating myself up, when I realized: “Oh I haven’t put my butt on a chair for two hours now. I need to be taking breaks unapologetically throughout my day.”
2. Who did you become and how many people did you serve? I can start giving my full undivided attention to whoever is in front of me and whatever I am doing and schedule a brainstorming session for figuring out my work.
3. There has never been so uncrowded in world class.
I appreciate Robin's passion and desire to make a positive difference. I agree with much of what he says, but have realized my mind, heart and body are wired for a more feminine approach. My entire body clenched up at the idea of getting up at 5:00 am! I am super productive - creativity and practically - by listening to my own rhythm. The beautiful of our "niche culture" is that we have SO MANY more role models and can choose those that resonate strongly. Someone who coaches "Wall Street billionaires" and Kayne West has limited appeal for me. Grateful for the ideas and the message to listen to our own instincts.
My natural rhythm would be getting out of bed without an alarm clock or a baby crying, sleeping in a tad bit. Moving thru my morning slowly. I totally get what you are saying. Everyone is different :)
Also, the 20/20/20 is great during this pandemic because in the midst of this craziness, it's more important than ever to find time of quietness to center ourselves, take control of any fear or angst, and become creative... clear inner closets, figure out what you want your future to look like, set the goals and figure out how to get there while sitting in place. What to do today to move toward the goal; how much of it can I get done while I'm stuck in this place? I hate the pandemic and what it's doing. I wanna get out. But until I do, I'm gonna do what I can, right here. Thanks again.
Wow! Thank you so much even all the time has passed since you put it on the Tube, it is still shining and resonated every single word that you exchanged with Mr. Sharma. God bless you and also I wish everyone listening to this lead a living-larger-than-life to fulfill your mission and your purpose and your contributions to next generation to follow. Thank you so much, Marie! 🙏
Incredible interview. Thanks, Marie. I mean seriously though - Who's more inspirational than Robin Sharma? The way he seemingly effortlessly drops gems on gems is incredible.
Thank you for this. I'm in a transition period and one of the things missing from my day is a consistent morning routine and a good night's sleep.
Few months ago I started to leave the phone outside my bedroom while going to sleep, definitely going back to that Habit after this interview. No distraction while sleeping no thoughts of checking text or opening RUclips before falling asleep and most important the urge to check on the phone right after waking up disappears.
So true...when trying to maximize productivity, phone distractions are creativity killers! The POMODORO TECHNIQUE has been something I recently implemented and it has been INSTRUMENTAL in my productivity. Phone out of sight and out of mind so my mind can soar!
My biggest takeaway from this is that I need Marie's dress. :D In all honesty, "Life's greatest heartbreak is being untrue to yourself" hit me deep in my soul. Going to be trusting my instinct and inner whisper and take action regardless of external pressure.
Robin is my mentor. Since I start listening to him my life changed. I successfully started several companies.
Thank you Robin.
Whatever Robin says are words of pure gold and handcrafted with wisdom, beauty and "granularity". I am 17 now and have started off with the 5AM Club idea followed by the 20/20/20 rule (hope this works great for me🤞😬) . What I really liked about this talk is that it is enriched by the valuable insights of the host Marie (this is my first time watching her). Because what I notice most of the times is that hosts are generally passive in approach : they ask questions, nod with affirmation to the interviewee and then done - they lack an opinion of their own - not the case with Marie!
What I think is that everybody's biological clock works in a different way and they should follow an active and productive routine. Some may be night owls and be more productive, so I think they should fight in companionship of their body rather than against it in inculcating a productive and fruitful way of leading lives. This is especially when it's difficult for some to make extreme alterations in their lifestyle because it may turn counterproductive and even hazardous.
Anyways, thanks for this amazing talk!
beautifully articulated. So pleased you have found Marie. Her work is incredible. You might like her book Everything is Figureoutable' too. Do check out her interview with Simon Sinek on the infinite game. Could resonate. You're absolutely right that we are each uniquely wired as an evolutionary need, to be those morning larks or night owls. So 5 a.m might feel great for some, very punishing for others. So a reminder to always listen from within and let your inner awareness guide you.
Thanks a lot for your kind suggestion and appreciation 😊. I will definitely try to follow on your great advice!
You can not be more correct in saying that our inner awareness is our best guide though it seems very mystic and "whispers to us" (as Robin Sharma often remarks) but I think it's something the Omnipotent blesses us with and we often fail to notice it. I hope can utilize this blessing in the best way possible!
Two of my favorite humans. Loved the book and following the model of the 5am club and sharing with as many others as I can.
After listening to this interview..I went straight to Audible to download this book..thank you to both of you for a great interview..
This man's book The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari felt like a coming home when I was 19 years old. I would sit in a tiny piece of nature in the city and felt like finally someone was speaking my language! He opened my eyes to the potential of life. Love this man and amazing to see his own evolution 12 years later!
Who doesn't love a great morning routine? I also think I am addicted to scheduling, productivity, and morning routines haha! I'm glad people are starting to be more diverse with their morning routines. For awhile everyone on youtube had a copy and paste morning routine. Unfortunately, that does not work for everyone. I'm glad we can all customize our own for our own best productivity. Thanks for the interview!
The Morning rituals of awaking at 5am , also busy with the evening rituals. Thank you both for this inspiring video
Committed to doing the 20/20/20 method for 62 days and excited in anticipation of my new version
I still have Marie’s workout Dvds 📀 they are timeless.
Also, I'm a first time commenter and a long time fan. So many takeaways. Biggest insight for me was you two talking about shoddy work. I've noticed a lot of shoddy work and I thought it was just me being too perfectionistic. Very inspiring interview. Thank you so much!
This is one of my favorite episodes of Marie TV! I avoided it because I thought it would be pushy and like 'this is how you need to live', from a very masculine perspective, but it's so full of profound wisdom and not pushy at all. I was blown away. I'm going to watch it again right now :) Thank you both for this episode!
Robin is awesome!!! Everything he says is so beautiful and on point!
I have to say I've been looking away a lot when seeing Robin's 5am Club book all over the world. I was convinced it's one of those 24/7 hustle madnesses. What an absolutely beautiful conversation. Thank you so much.
I've been writing in my monthly goals for months now how I'm going to stop scrolling first thing in the morning and before bed. This is the time. I've just realised that I get my best ideas for my videos and everything that I do when I'm doing yoga, having a shower or reflecting in my bed late at night. Got to create more of those moments during my day. Thank you thank you xx
Yay! We hope it creates beautiful new space in your day where creativity can find you. Thanks so much for watching & sharing 🧡-Team Forleo
@@marieforleo thank you 💜💜 just rewatched one of your goal setting videos. MAY here I come 🎉
I just read his book. It is life changing. I can't wait to see the results after 66 days of getting up at 5 am and doing the 20 20 20 formula. I am also taking Robin's quest on Mindvalley right now 😁🔝
I love Robin Sharma, he motivates me a lot, I'd really wanna join the 5am club
I started 20/20/20 in the year 2020 what a coincidence...and it works....
Great concepts. I’ve been getting up at 4:30 am for 3 months. It’s GREAT to experience the quiet energies of the morning. And walking into the NEW SUN as it rises into my world is pure magic. (I am Not Saying to have your eyes open. But a little peak is beautiful). The methods your speaking on have been instrumental for my sanity through this PANDEMIC / Isolation. Thank you. Is your book on Audible? I’m getting it!
Just finished watching, it's 5:59 am! Thanks so much for your inspiring messages.
5 am club starts today 🙌
Thank you, Marie and Robin. Took several screenshots there! 5am, here I come!🌈
Why tech is destroying your productivity. But here I am binge watching self improvement and self help videos
Fantastic interview, Marie! Thank you- I’m getting this book ASAP.
Also kudos for closing your business operations a few weeks a year. That’s a gift to everyone and sets a precedent of effective leadership.
Literally LOVE everything about this, I truly learned so much and I loved almost everything about how Marie conducted the interview but personally, I just couldn’t help but notice how many times she turned things around back to herself. I understand that relatability is sometimes needed and makes your interviewee feel more relaxed but she did it almost through the whole interview which really bothered me. Maybe it’s just a pet peeve from an insiders perspective but like I said if we take that away than it’s an amazing interview!
My fav book is" the monk who sold his Ferrari " and now i am reading the 5 am club...very interesting .I love the way he narrate the story and every page is inspiring and motivational 💕
To lead is to serve.
WOW! WOW! WOW! fabulous show and this is the first I have been introduced to Robin Sharma and I have now ordered his book, "The 5am Club" and am totally excited to learn more. I will begin my new practice of the "20/20/20 Formula." So inspiring. My biggest take away today was the information on elite performers not operating like a marathon and more like a sprint. At 61 years young, and in the beginning of running my own coaching/speaking business, I do not have the stamina to put in the "work hours of hustle." Thank you for the permission to work at my pace and not at what society says is the hustle I should work. Loved this!!!
What an incredible resonating words from Robin.
I first learnt about this book (5 a.m Club) through my WhatsApp group-"Pacesetters leadership club", Ibadan , Nigeria.
I kept procrastinating to read this , (may be because, up finishingrealized inspiration.
officially
It's worth watching and I feel so regret that i have seen this epic masterpiece so late.. Thank you @Marie @Robin to make this happen to my life when I need it in this period of my tough time in my life..!!!
Hi Marie, you made me so happy when I saw this post. Seeing you with him 😃. He is great, my mentor on habits. Everything from inside out. And this is not a weird thing that I am reading the book, page 250 ☺️I enrolled to the club and using this amazing quarantine tome to get strong 💪 pushing my self. I love it. Getting more commitment every day. 😊✨ Thanks
So much inspiration
Committing to 66days of 5am club.
And living to rejoice feom being able to serve to my best ability x🙏🏾✨💜
YAS Samantha! 👏👏That sounds absolutely wonderful. We hope you have an amazing experience. Please keep us posted on how you go 🎉 - Monauar, Team Forleo
The 20/20/20 is a great idea in the middle of this pandemic! I get up BEFORE 5 a.m. (I get up at 4) because my household gets up at 6 in the morning. That gives me an hour to myself and an hour to be productive before the house gets crazy. The 20/20/20 will help me because sometimes I take the hour just to meditate or sometimes I take the hour for physical activity. This way I can do all three and not feel guilty about wasting the hour on just doing one thing. Thanks for 20/20/20.
Love Love LOVE this interview! I just ordered The 5am Club. I plan to start the 20/20/20 method with waking up at 5am tomorrow.
Love waking up before 5am every morning! Life is too short to sleep in. Love my morning meditation and gratitude time before I get my day started.
Get up before the sun. Some solid basics for sanity and success here. Thanks Marie and Robby
I have read it 3 times and it's really awesome book with so much of great insights. Loved it.
Thank you so much Marie and Robin ! This video is absolutely a life changing message. It really helps to relate to the connection of human's behavior and habits with success. Its a wake up call for everyone who on the path of finding or chasing their meaning of life, which seems more likely to be ignored nowadays. This interview really fills me with encouragement and belief to get out of the comfort zone and get the work done. Such a deep and beautiful with outstanding scientific mental analyzation video !
Woooow, what a great interwiew. Thank you so much. Love from Spain.
I’ve listened to the Audiobook and it was such a beautiful written piece. Will keep referring back to this book, this amazing interview, and sharing this beautiful knowledge with other people. Thank you! 💖🙏🏽
Best 40 minutes of my day!
Thank you for this video. ❤️
Joined the 5am last year and I must say it works , I was productive, clear minded and had fresh idea all the time
Hello from the future, lol. I know you wrote that comment a year ago, but I’m curious: you wrote that in the past tense. Have you stopped? It sounds like you are no longer a “member” of the 5 am Club. What’s up?
@@heidikamrath1951 i stopped because of laziness honestly and just wanting to sleep more
Great interview! I recently started running my own business full-time and have been struggling with finding balance throughout the day. Looking forward to applying some of these concepts.
Wow, this was a wonderful interview, so many great insights. I love when Robin Sharma said, "Focus in more valuable than intelligence" and I cam definitely agree with that statement. I have seen folks who appear to be less talented and intelligent become more successful because they were focus and committed to achieving a high level of success.
All my life, since a teenager and I am mid 50 now, I have naturally woke up at around 4 AM. I've always been driven to be the best at what I do. Sadly I was also the victim of narcissistic abuse in both family of origin, and in relationships. When I came to understand this just over a year ago, and started on my recovery path, I have become the person I was when the abuse started. I look younger now than I did at 17. My mission has always been to help young people to succeed, which I never had, it was always criticism. This all sounds hippy dippy, but I spent so much time believing that it was me who is flawed, and I don't want that to happen to young people.
I have become a day trader (goofy I know- I used to be a landscaper) and my biggest advice to new wannabe traders is FOCUS. It doesn't matter your strategy for what you are doing, FOCUS is the number one thing. I'm very lucky to have been able to tune out and give 100%, and also to just BE, and barely have a heartbeat. But, if you don't have that capacity, just do what is your strength, which may be going to the same job every day.
We are so lucky now to have so much information available for free, in my day it was the matched set of the Encyclopedia Britannica :)
Getting rid of toxic people is my biggest piece of advice- get a mentor if you have no support. Nobody is 'bad'. I want everyone to be all that they can be.
Incredible interview.
Big fan of your work!
I'm not a morning person. But with three kids ( 2 boys and a husband lol) I'm slowly gravitating towards the solitude and quietness of an early morning. Not the afternoons and evenings of coming home from work to dinner, homework, and 20 million other to do's in a small window of time or the "crazy jump out of my bed mornings, get ready for work, etc". Yup, giving this a try.
May you find a slice of time for you! We're cheering you on. - Team Forleo
Another super interview! Thanks Marie for continuing to shine your frickin' light so bright. 5 a.m is a bit of a big ask for me and my own circadian rhythm however the principles Robin talks about can still absolutely apply. Will definitely rise earlier and plant those seeds of 5 productive hours. Already massively limit mobile use and that is great starting place for others. P.S loving my second year of B-School.
Yay, thanks for sharing that! This is a beautiful example of asking "How can this work for me?" even when things don't appear to apply to us at first. 👏🧡 -Team Forleo
very effective and I truly like Robin Sharma and his awe-inspiring talk about life! Thank you, I enjoyed your video talk, dear Marie! 🙏🏼🦄
Thank you so much for getting me all fired up about keeping my 5am morning routine and providing as much quality as possible to the world. All the best Marie, Claire
Really good interview, lots to take away. I agree with many, that the constant phone vibrations and side glances are an immense distraction and productivity killer.
This interview made me cry. Yes. I totally needed this today. Thank you!
That last line about the world needing the gift that only you have really hit differently today. I've heard it a hundred times but today 😭
Good talk Marie, I love both you and Robin and what both of you guys strive for. Love your book EIF and Robin's 5 Am club!
Amazing interview. Thank you for sharing this with the world! Good vibes.
Awesome Marie TV episode! Thanks very much to you both! I'm going to join the 5am club and do the 20/20/20 in that hour for 66 days and see where I'm at then!
The 20/20/20 in 66 days sounds amazing and perfect for lockdown! Perhaps the answer for my adult ADD!
Wow, so many powerful "nuggets of wisdom" in this interview - I feel inspired about how I work and about my life and purpose. Thank you for this interview!
I love this! It’s very inspirational & useful! I’m going to listen to this over & over for motivation, thank you 💕
My "5am" is more like 430, but this really changes your life!
To lead= to serve. Briliant! Thank you for that💗
It's not about 5 o'clock. It's about waking up early and starting day correctly. You still need to have 6-8 h. (Depends ) of good quality sleep
Oh, this is good Marie! Definitely having a good morning routine is a sure foundation for success 😍😍
WoW, This is is why Islam is great... cause waking up at 5:00 AM or before the sunrise, is something that we have to do everyday in order to pray "Fajr" which is like the first prayer of the day.
Read About Islam, you won't regret it.
Yaaa definitely i want to become the member of 5 am club
Last part mad me cry..thank you
