I told my son to ignore the day and focus on his evenings and early mornings. If he can master these two in the next five years, he will be too smart, too sharp, and too disruptive in the business and problem-solving world.
The day belongs to your boss, your clients, your customers, and your responsibilities. But the time before the world wakes up and after it slows down? That time is yours.
Yes, that's the time your real growth, and your real transformation happens. They happen when others stop moving, when distractions fade away.
When I finished youth service, I started an 8am to 6pm job. That was my survival time, I needed the job, I needed the income to pay my bills.
But I refused to let my future dreams die in the process. So while many people wasted their nights on entertainment, distractions, and unnecessary outings, I did the reverse.
My 6pm to 8am became my building and growing time. Infact, its my war time because of the silent battles happens
After work, while others were relaxing, watching TV, scrolling on their phones or sleeping, I was reading, studying, and strategizing. I was sharpening my skills and working on my ideas. I will always wake up early to think, plan, and execute important things.
I would not let my day job be the only thing that defined my life.
I was living two lives in one. By day, I worked for people and money. By night, I worked for my future and invest in myself.
And that made all the difference.
See, what you do with your nights and early mornings will either make you or destroy you.
I remember telling my son that there are three kinds of people you will find at night and early mornings.
The first are the sleepwalkers, they waste their nights on mindless things that doesn’t grow them. They always waste it on entertainment, social media, and distractions. Their evenings add no value to their future.
