Ask any successful business owner what time he wakes up, and you will definitely notice a rhythm among all of them, which is waking up at the crack of dawn to take full advantage of their day.

According to CNBC, the world leader in business news and real-time financial market coverage, some of the most successful business owners who wake up before 6 AM are :

“Apple CEO Tim Cook who starts his mornings at 3:45 a.m., Ellevest CEO and co-founder Sallie Krawcheck who wakes at 4 a.m. and Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama and Indra Nooyi have been known to rise at the crack of dawn.”

“I’m a big believer that how your day starts is really important,” says Bob Ferguson, Attorney General of the state of Washington.

Training yourself to have a habit of waking before dawn to focus on your goals will make your day much more productive, will boost your business, and will give you time to focus on your personal life.

  • Waking up early allows you to be more productive throughout your day.
  • The serenity you’ll have in the morning makes you think more clearly.
  • It allows you to have more personal time.
