The morning hours before 8am are like a secret society that unsuccessful people don't even know exists. While they're still dreaming about success, the people actually achieving it are already hours into their day, doing things that most would dismiss as "excessive" or "unnecessary."

The things that separate the ultra-successful from everyone else happen before most people's alarms even go off.
