Growing up in the 90’s on the east coast of America a lot of my older family members said the early bird gets the worm all the time. At that time I understood it as; get up early before everyone else and go to work.

I guess that was because that’s what I saw them doing. But as I got a little older and gained an teenager like understanding I looked at it as; when you get up early you can have a Head-start on the ones that slept in late and that would give you a chance of having more opportunity.

Then as Life continued I grew into a young man in his early 20s having too much fun hanging out and partying with girls. So catching up early didn’t happen much for me.

Fast forward ten years something interesting happened in my 30s. I got into the online world as a solo entrepreneur and all of a sudden I had more work than time. I found myself working 10 to 12 hours a day more often than not and it became very overwhelming.


I didn’t want to stop doing what I was doing because I was genuinely excited and interested in it, so I needed to find a way to be more efficient. After listening and reading for years about how to become very successful as an entrepreneur, I learned about this thing called Focus time.
