Are you ready to restructure your life and get more done? Today I am announcing the official launch of The 5 AM Blueprint 30-Day Action Plan, which is a comprehensive program that sends action items straight to your inbox every day for 30 days. ← Previous Episode Next Episode → If you have read my book, The 5 AM Miracle, you are likely very familiar with my 7-step system called The 5 AM Blueprint. (Don't worry, you don't have to read the book to buy the Blueprint or get incredible value out of it.) This 30-day action plan is a simple way to bring The 5 AM Blueprint to life. It provides daily action items to keep you on track to restructure your productivity systems (and healthy habits) in order to dominate your day before breakfast and accomplish your life's grandest goals! Launch Ends Friday, January 15th at 11:59 pm PST During this special launch period you will get access to the 30 days of actionable emails plus 2 FREE BONUSES. The bonuses include a FREE PDF copy of my new book, The 5 AM Miracle, as well as a discount code to get 50% off my first upcoming webinar! Now, check out more about what's included in this special offer . . . What's Included 1. 30 Days of Actionable Emails The 5 AM Blueprint includes 30 days of actionable emails. I will send you one email a day for 30 days. Each email includes 2 simple actions for that day. In reality, if you completed every action item during this 30-day plan you would be extraordinarily busy. The goal is to keep these action items top-of-mind as you restructure your daily routines, habits, and productivity systems. It's possible that not all of the action items will apply to your life today, so you can take advantage on those “off days” to keep truckin' along on the rest of your plan. Click here to learn more.   2. BONUS: FREE PDF of My New Book, The 5 AM Miracle   The 5 AM Blueprint 30-Day Action Plan provides the opportunity to dig in deep and take bold action. All of the action steps are based on the 7 steps of The 5 AM Blueprint: * Establishing your grandest goals. * Implementing the Quarter System. * Identifying and optimizing your anchor habits. * Creating your ideal morning and evening routines. * Adopting the best productivity strategies. * Tracking your progress all along the way. * Going pro with advanced techniques.     You don't have to read the book first! In case you are wondering, no, you don't have to read The 5 AM Miracle in order to get extreme value out of The 5 AM Blueprint. However, I will say that the Blueprint will make a lot more sense if you have read the book, and it will provide context for why I make the recommendations that I do. If you would like to buy the paperback copy, you can do so on Amazon or
