The 5 AM Club

A note from Billie-Jo

Ladies, book two is here and it just might change your mornings forever.

If you think this is just another "wake up early and grind" book, think again. What makes this one so different is how Sharma tells it. It's actually a story. A narrative. You follow real characters on a journey and somewhere in between, you realize you've absorbed some of the most powerful personal development lessons of your life. You barely notice it happening. That's the magic.

Here's why I love this book:

At its core, it's about starting your day with intention and starting it with YOU. Before your inbox. Before your kids. Before your clients. Before the noise of everyone else's needs gets in. Sharma makes the case that your first hour of the day is sacred, and what you do with it determines everything that follows.

Because here's the truth we all know but forget: you cannot pour from an empty cup. When you focus on yourself first, you show up better for everyone else. Your team. Your family. Your community. You become MORE for them because you started with you.

And then it gets really good.

Toward the end of the book, Sharma dives into habit stacking in a way that actually feels doable. One of my favourite concepts is what he calls Transit University. If you're driving to a meeting, sitting on a train, or running errands, that time is a classroom. Pop in a podcast. Play an audiobook. Turn your commute into a course. Most of us are sitting on hours of untapped learning time every single week and we don't even realize it.

It's about becoming more efficient with the life you already have, not adding more to your plate. It's about squeezing the wisdom out of every moment so you can keep growing without burning out.

For our next meetup, I want you thinking about your morning. What does your first hour look like right now? And what would it look like if you actually protected it?

Come ready to talk about it.
