For a little more than a decade, I have always been an “early riser“, thanks to my internalalarmclock. I just finished reading “The 5 AM Club” by Robin Sharma, and now I finally have a guide on how to take advantage of the early start to my day and be successful and productive.
After reading “The 5 AM Club” by Robin Sharma, I’ve gained valuableinsights into the power of waking up at 5 AM and establishing a transformativemorning routine. Sharma’s book blends personal development advice with a compelling story, emphasizing the importance of dedicating the first hour of the day to activities that nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
I finished reading the book about a week and half ago and immediately began trying to implement the 20/20/20 method. This method involves spending the first 20 minutes exercising, the next 20 minutes reflecting or meditating, and the final 20 minutes learning or growing. It’s a powerful routine that has already started to enhance my productivity and overall well-being. By incorporating these principles into my mornings, I’m setting a strongfoundation for a successful and fulfilling day. I wouldn’t say I have this down perfectly just yet, but I’m looking forward to continuing this method and some of the others in this book to “own my morning and elevate my life”!
I highly recommend this book! I’ve put the link below, if you’re interested in buying a copy for yourself from Amazon!

I’ve not always been the biggest reader, but last year I found several books that captured my attention. This year, I signed up for Goodreads to help me track my reading. I have really loved the feature for setting goals or challenges. Given my, not so great, history of actually finishing books, I opted for 12 books this year, thinking I could handle one book a month.
Upon starting my most recent book and adding it to my list, I see that I am well on my way to accomplishing my goal for 2024. In fact, I am ahead of the game and should accomplish my goal very soon. Be sure to click the button below to check out my profile. You can take a look at what I’m reading and where I’m at with my goal. You can also add me as a friend if you sign up for a free account!
A couple months ago, I was given the oppurunity to be a part of a book launch team. I was able to support 13 amazing women as they vulnerably shared their stories with the world, thru this book, Shine your light.
Even better then supporting just those amazing women (read the book and you will see why I call them amazing), with every single book purchased, 100% of the profits went to an organization called Kiva.
Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005, with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive. They provide microloans to women, who would not normally have the accessibility to start a business.

This is one of the many books I’ve been recommended as I’ve embarked on my journey as a virtual assistant. If you are strugglingto get your goals accomplished, I highly recommend ordering a copy of this book! I started this book and ended up reading a chapter a day. I’m planning to pick it back up again to read a second time because there are just so many good nuggets in there. I know I did not grasp it all the first time around.
