The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma was showing how waking up early was helping people become their best selves. The author was explaining that getting up at 5 o’clock was giving time to grow, learn, and feel better.

The book was telling a story about a businesswoman, an artist, and a wise teacher. The teacher was teaching them how to use early mornings to improve their lives.

1. Wake Up at 5 AM to Grow

When people were waking up at 5 AM, the world was staying quiet. No phones were ringing, no emails were arriving, and no noise was distracting them. This was being their special time to focus on themselves. They were thinking clearly and were feeling full of energy.

“Own your morning. Elevate your life.”

2. Use the 20/20/20 Formula

Sharma was sharing a simple morning plan called the 20/20/20 rule. It was dividing the first hour of the day (5:00–6:00 AM) into three parts:

  • 20 minutes – Move: People were doing exercise like running, yoga, or dancing. It was helping their body and brain wake up.

  • 20 minutes – Reflect: They were writing in a journal or were breathing deeply to relax and think.

  • 20 minutes – Learn: They were reading good books, were listening to podcasts, or were studying something new.

“Victory is built in the early hours.”

3. Build Good Habits Slowly

In the beginning, many people were finding it difficult to wake up early. They were starting with small changes—maybe waking up 10 or 15 minutes earlier each day. Over time, this habit was becoming part of their lives.

“Small daily improvements lead to big results.”

4. Protect Your Time and Energy

The book was reminding readers that too many people were being busy all the time. They were answering every message and were losing focus. But when they were learning to say “no,” they were protecting their energy and using mornings to work on their goals.

“Don’t let distractions steal your greatness.”
