6. Introduction
Legendary leadership and elite performance
expert Robin Sharma introduced The 5am Club
concept over twenty years ago, based on a
revolutionary morning routine that has helped
his clients maximize their productivity, activate
their best health and bulletproof their serenity in
this age of overwhelming complexity.

8. 5 am club brief summary
• The 5 AM Club helps you get up at 5 AM
every morning, build a morning routine,
and make time for the self-improvement
you need to find success.
• For most people, waking up at 5 a.m.
without having to be somewhere sounds
unappealing. But if you want to
be great, this is where to start.
9. • Everyone has a superiority inside them.
You've to rediscover your caliber.
• And to achieve the goal you have to forget
your excuses, your fears and your doubts.
We all have had to cross a difficult path in our
life.
• If you think that your are a failure then this is
only because you are giving priority to your
distress. Every failure helps to make you the
game-changer.
10. Example
• If we woke up at 5 am , we can offer fajr
prayer on time. And 5 am club will allow us
to get ready for university so that we reach
to the university on time.

12. Quotation
‘Do not allow your fire to go out, spark by
irreplaceable spark in the hopeless
swamps of the non quite , the not yet
and the not at all. Do not let the hero in
your soul perish in lonely frustration
for the life you deserved and have
never been able to reach. The world
you desire can be won. It exists. It is
real. It is possible. it is yours.’
13. Mediocrity
• We should only surround ourselves with human
beings who fuel our joy, stoke our peace and
excite us to become a better man. Life’s way too
valuable to hang with people who don’t get you.
• What’s the point of spending your best mornings
and potentially productive days climbing
mountains that you realize were the wrong ones
when you are frail and wrinkled? Very sad
• The last fifty years then become less about me
and more about we. Less about selfishness and
more about service. We stop adding more things
into our lives and begin to subtract - and

15. Six ways to let go of
mediocrity
• Clarify Your Purpose
• Take Inventory
• 75% Rule
• Dispel Cognitive Dissonance
• Shuffle
• Accountability
16. Your purpose
• Why are you here? What gets you out of
bed in the morning? Are you excited? How
are you expressing your inner fire through
your daily actions? A clarity of purpose
inspires courage within us to follow our
bliss and overcome fears.
17. Example
• If your purpose is to study and to get good
grades then it is impossible to do so with
the help of sleep.
• Someone said it right:
‘Early to bed early to rise’’
• If you adopt habit of waking up early in the
morning , then you can do everything
easily. You can study, prepare quiz etc.
18. • Write out a list of things you do on a
regular basis, both personal and
professional, including projects you’re
working on. What are your motivations for
these activities? Be honest.
19. Our comfort zone
• We are creatures of comfort, and at some point in our lives,
we built a view of the world and personal goals that would
deliver this comfort, this pleasure to us. For example, you
grew up poor, so making money was important to you. Fast
forward 20 years, and you have made some money, but
something is still missing … that’s because that belief is now
a trap. After all these years, that belief has become a part of
your identity and since it has always been important, it must
still be important. It feels that way. But what if no longer is?
What if it morphed in something else? What if it never were,
but was only a function of survival and not your true desire?
Dig deeper for answers and be aware, the brain can play
tricks on us. Something may seem so true, but it isn’t. Don’t
be tricked; it will rob you of greatness.
20. • None of us is perfect and giving 100% on a regular
basis, or even realizing that we’re not, and thus
falling into mediocrity, can be hard to both see
and remedy alone. Therefore, I strongly
encourage you to identify accountability
mechanisms that would help push you to function
at your 100%. These could be achieved through
self-reflection, mentorship relationships, personal
and professional development, a partner, and
certainly a life coach. Whether you choose one or
all of these, remember that the path to greatness
is only, truly, possible with others by your side.
21. Quotation
‘Why, sometimes I've believed as many as
six impossible things before breakfast.’
‘Lewis Carrol , Alice in wonderland’
22. • Nearly every morning, we envision my ideal performance
for the day ahead. we also reach deep into my emotions
so we feel what it will feel like when we achieve the wins
we’ve planned to accomplish. We lock ourselves into
an extremely confident state where any form of failure
isn’t within the realm of possibility. Then we go out to do
my finest to live out that perfect day.
23. Quotation
‘‘Everyone holds his fortune in his own
hands , like a sculpture the raw material
he will fashion into a figure… The skill to
mold the material into what we want must
be learned and attentively cultivated’’
24. Peak Productivity, Virtuosity
and Undefeability
RULE #1: An addiction to distraction is the end of your creative
production. Empire makers and history-creators take one hour
for themselves before dawn, in the serenity that lies beyond
the clutches of complexity, to prepare themselves for a world-
class day.
RULE #2: Excuses breed no genius. Just because you haven’t
installed the early-rising habit before doesn’t mean you can’t
do it now. Release your rationalizations and remember that
small daily improvements, when done consistently over time
lead to stunning results.
RULE #3: To have the results The Top 5% of producers have,
you must start doing what 95% of people are unwilling to do.
As you start to live like this, the majority will call you crazy.
Remember that being labeled a freak is the price of
greatness.
25. Quotation
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living
someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma
- which is living with the results of other people’s
thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And most
important, have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition. They somehow already know what
you truly want to become.” -Steve Jobs

Pressfield

32. Lessons from this book
• Waking up at 5 a.m. will provide you with
the solitude and improved brain state to
perform like the pros.
• Balance your four “interior empires” to
achieve self-mastery.
• Don’t waste time when you wake up early,
use the 20/20/20 formula
33. Review
• If you’re ready to take your life to the next
level and become great, it all starts with an
effective morning routine. Through The 5
AM Club, we learn exactly how to do this,
and an exciting fictional story to illustrate it
comes as a bonus. The science-backed
case Sharma makes for joining the 5 AM
Club is likely convincing enough for even
those who aren’t morning people.
34. Recommendation
• The 18-year-old filled with ambitions to
become their best self, the 42-year-old
office worker that feels as if they can reach
a higher level of performance every day,
and everyone who wants to start their day
with energy and positivity.
