4 a.m. morning wake up with Greg Favaza. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the show. This show is for people that are striving to improve themselves in little marginal gains. We all fucking need them. They can lead to a compound effect, change our life. But we've got to believe it. And I feel like I can help people believe these very changes if they were given to you in a realistic manner, authentically, by someone who didn't even believe them themselves. To be honest, like, I hate doing things that are outside my realm of being comfortable.

However, I had to cultivate a mindset to move outside that realm and start getting things that I thought weren't possible in making that happen for me. That's why I want to illustrate in these little success habits. Today, I want you to define your, if you haven't already, your personal rules for success, whether it's in life, personal or professional side of things I want you if you haven't already done so to just

illustrate some little rules a little system that you put together while listening to this little episode if you're driving of course definitely do it use your knee to hold the steering wheel and

use the phone to record Just hit that little voice to text. You'll be good. People that are running, obviously you can memorize this shit. You'll be fine. But no, don't do anything dangerous. Now, let's get right into this. Success, rule of success.

Implementation. What are mine. All right. Showing up at the right time, at the right place, in the right uniform with the right attitude. It's corny. It's cheesy. It works, though. It really does. When I'm recording, there might not be somebody I want to record with on my other show, but they still have something valuable to give me. I don't resonate with everyone. I have to create that curiosity because we all can learn from somebody. from everyone. I know I will never be on the same path and agree 100% with who I encounter,

but those of whom I'm encountered have all taught me something that is relevant, and I apply to this day whether it's conscious or subconsciously. I'm actively applying it. And I know each episode you listen to. to will work in your favor show up at the right time the right place and the right uniform with the right attitude now you haven't already done so write that shit down showing up 15 minutes prior to the start time i mean if you're on time you're fucking late this is just fundamental understanding but i feel like we need to really preach it in order

order to get it down, you know, because that's what, I mean, I was active duty five and a half years. What made me an expert my position was refining and conducting the fundamentals daily every Sunday evening. I conduct my weekly calendar and just look over it. Look over the entire week, what's happening, what I'm doing, just so I can plan. for anything that's coming up and that could be interjecting into my calendar. Every day, wake up, it's at 3.30 just so I can do the 4 a.m. wake up. But also, I have like seven to, I think seven or eight different habits I got to do. Otherwise, I don't feel like myself.

I mean, I got to stretch. I got to meditate. I got a fucking journal a little bit, not too crazy. I can go ham on that shit. Listen to a podcast. Listen to something that can get my current knowledge flowing. It's really weird. Usually if I put on an episode, it'll just activate things that I've just known already in my past.

And usually that goes very nicely. with listening to an episode and also reading a book just like a couple pages a fucking day does the world and uh i can hydrating take my dog out to go shit fucking pills my supplements that stuff being up to par on those little morning regiments i hate how i'm going into it but i feel like it's still relevant because we forget. All right. Now, let's look at your chronology. When are you going to bed? Your sleep time. You're going to bed at 9. You waking up early? Like what's going on with that? Are you consistent on the weekends? Are you not? Are people in your life that are fucking your sleep time up? What are you doing if they are fucking your sleep time up? You letting them fuck your sleep time up?

or you doing something about it. Those little actions, I mean, they can ruin you. It can do something completely out of the ordinary. If you just stay to a schedule, maintain your hydration, 64 ounces a day, at minimum, those are all little important actions. Okay. What are your actions? What do you do?

When do you check on this to sure that you are? are consistent. Do you refine these weekly, monthly, quarterly? How are the fuck somebody does it in an organization? I think that's obviously something that should be considered and adjust. As we grow older, we could still be doing the same shit that we put together five years ago, thinking that it's still relevant. I know when I was in the Army, I'm now doing a podcast.

life to fucking make money to build influence to build a brand and establish myself i can't go do fucking uh dime drills my ar i can't do combatters every morning like i want to like that shit still runs in my blood and it sucks that i have to do the alternative it's because i've gotten a thrill out of it because i developed my mind to meet something inside of me that makes it a necessity. Now, I'm still in the process of doing that with these habits. Whatever these habits are doing, I'm linking them internally to something I really already enjoy that will help me in the long-term outcome.

I'm bringing that up because we're not considerate. of the very nature of why we're doing these habits. Don't be fucking doing them because I told you to or somebody else did. Do it because it's going to help you in the long term establish a transformation, an overused word that's stated on everything that is misunderstood by everyone. A transformation, it's a process. It's never ending. From the beginning of your life to now to end.

It's milestones. Keep working. The moment you stop, the moment you degrade, there is no stagnation. I don't want to monologue, but I'm ready monologuing. So I will get back. No, that is it. Okay, we're cool. So I hope everybody enjoyed my talk. I'm a wiry motherfucker, okay?

I can't stay on point, so I definitely need, like, guidance. Like, Greg, you're off topic. Please get back to where you're going. Okay. Or Greg, stop saying, okay, and just fucking speak. I like to give out humor. I have a very bold, quick-witted sense of identity that if I can make you laugh, then that makes me feel good.

So I will do weird shit and say weird things that just come off abnormal. But trust me, it's completely normal in my book. other than over explaining myself at this very point. But hell yeah. If you like it, I'll see you guys tomorrow at 4 a.m. I know somebody might be an hour behind me or an hour ahead. I'm definitely behind on my schedule, so I'll be sure to get here on fucking time,

and we can build a relationship together every day. Right here on your 4 a.m. morning wake up with Gregory. Fabaza. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Later. LifeLock, how can I help?
