This video and episode is brought to you by Superhuman. The fastest email experience ever made. Stay tuned for a segment about Superhuman later in this episode. What's going on? So in this video, I'm gonna break down my millionaire routine. This is the routine that I have mastered. I've been an entrepreneur for 18 years. I've been a millionaire, multi millionaire since I was 24, 36 now. So well over a decade, continuing to grow my net worth to build multimillion dollar businesses.

00:00:34 - 00:01:54
And so I really attribute that more than anything else to the small habits that compound every single day that lead to these massive results that people see and they don't realize has been years of me just mastering these small things that are behind the camera, that are behind the scenes. Right? Shooting in the gym, I guess, Kobe would say, when nobody's there. You know, the way that I I think about my routine is a framework that I call h 5. So the h 5 is based on what I believe takes you from a level 1 conscious leader to a level 10. Right? And most of you that wanna have a level 10 life, level 10 success, level 10 net worth, you have a level 1, a level 2, a level 3 routine, and yet you expect to have these epic results in your life. And so if you wanna get to a level 10 in in success in your life and level 10 results as a leader, then ultimately you have to make sure that you're embodying what it means to play at that level because you're not gonna get those results if you're at a level 1, level 2, level 3 in what you do on a daily basis, your habits, right, your routine. So the h five, how it breaks down is 1, the first h, the first pillar is your health. Alright.
Gerard Adams
00:01:54 - 00:02:48
So what do I mean by health? I'm talking about, are you exercising? Are you energizing? What's your environment like? And so a couple of things that I do to make sure that I am healthy is, 1st and foremost, I'm waking up before the sun wakes up. And this doesn't necessarily need to mean that you have to have a 5 AM club, but before the sun. So is that 6 AM for you, 6:30 AM for you, 7 AM for you? In some places, or if you're lucky, between 7 and 7:30. But most likely, it's about around 6 AM, around 6:30 AM. Beating the sun. When you do that, you're already ahead of the game. You're ahead of so many others and you have a leg up and the first thing you wake up, what are you doing? Are you making your bed getting that win? You washing up, brushing your teeth and then what? The most people, what do they do? They go and they grab the phone. Right? And they immediately get into a reactive state.
Gerard Adams
00:02:48 - 00:04:05
So it's so important that when you go to sleep and when you wake up, you are disconnected from technology. You not have your phone. A lot of people are scrolling as they go to sleep and sleep is so important for your health, right? Getting a good quality 8 hours of sleep is so important for your productivity. And then when you wake up, not grabbing the phone, but getting up, drinking some water, making that bed, getting that wind, getting some sun if you can, getting in nature, and most importantly for me, meditation. Meditation is proven to take your productivity and your team's productivity up a 120% simply by meditating. So who wouldn't wanna have a 120% more productivity in their day when you're talking about success and talking about goals? So starting off small, even if that's 10 minutes and eventually working your way up for me, now it's typically around 30 minutes, give or take, whether it's listening to nature, having guided mantras, meditations from Deepak Chopra or the Calm app, just music. Right? I have a meditation playlist and I'll put that in the description. And then from there, going and exercising, getting in the gym and just doing some movement for you, that may be yoga, that may be just stretching, that may be lifting with weights.
Gerard Adams
00:04:05 - 00:04:39
That may be pilates. That may be dancing. Whatever that is for you to get your body moving. Right? Get for me, it's strength training with my movement coach. And then just making sure to get some healthy food to energize some green juice, a protein shake, and really paying attention to what you're putting in your body as fuel. And then the next h is harmony. Right? So harmony for me is all about creating that balance between both the masculine and the feminine energy. And the greatest way that I create harmony is, I actually mentioned it in health, is meditation.
Gerard Adams
00:04:39 - 00:05:54
And so just really paying attention to are you meditating throughout the day, especially in the morning, but even throughout the day, are you being present to your breath? And just taking those little breaks in between work and just Right. Just taking a few deep breaths. Are you paying attention to how you're breathing your intuition? Really just practicing mindfulness activities and being present whether that's getting out in nature, whether that's some breath work, but just that to me is is ways that I create harmony in my life. It's definitely meditation, definitely journaling, definitely reading, and I have some books here I'm gonna share with you in a few minutes about creating that millionaire routine. So think about harmony. The next h, hustle. And so hustle for me is all about prioritization. It's all about knowing how to focus and how to truly understand what is essential for you to be focusing on and how to be able to be as efficient as possible because it's not about money that's your greatest asset or your product, but it's about time is your greatest asset.

And so I'm really excited about this part of my routine because I get to show you super human, which sponsored today's video and it's the fastest email experience ever made. Not only is the interaction and performance incredibly fast, but the features make this a lifesaver for me so I can spend less time on emails and more time working on my goals. Their superhuman experience is built around keyboard shortcuts, which have become basically like second nature to me and they help me navigate my inbox in seconds. They also have a feature called automatic triage known as split. This is in super human and it basically means that it automatically sorts your email for you which is incredible. It creates a split inbox, based on the type of emails you get. So calendar invites, Google docs, team emails, they're all sorted separately so that you can focus on what you need to without getting distracted. Another feature that I love is their templates, which is also called Snippets.
Gerard Adams
00:06:52 - 00:07:35
You can instantly insert your most used phrases like these could be paragraphs. You can even be, whole emails given the volume of business that I do. It's incredibly time efficient for me to use a variety of templates, which speed up my sales and pitch cycles, follow ups and check ins. I just type that, snip it in, and it automatically pops up. If you're a business owner who uses email, you have to check out Superhuman and start saving yourself time because it because it is the most important asset that we have. Alright? So thanks again to Superhuman for sponsoring this video. Let's continue with the routine and make sure to check out the description to learn more about Superhuman below. And so I'm really excited about Superhuman which has become one of my greatest tools.
Gerard Adams
00:07:35 - 00:08:38
And just thinking about tools in your life that can help you to be more efficient with mastering your day, mastering your time, mastering your calendar. And it's all about prioritizing. What is the one big goal that you need to have completed today? Right? Or what are the 3 tasks that you need to complete? And if you do this every single day, then you'll notice that your days become more productive, which means your weeks become more productive and you're completing things, which mean your months become more productive and all of a sudden you see all these results and now you're hitting your goals on a quarterly basis, on a yearly basis and all of a sudden you just start seeing that your net worth is rising, your lifestyle is rising, everything is rising. So hustle is about prioritization and your ability to focus. And then the next H is happiness and really focusing on your happiness. And for me, that's as simple as going and playing some basketball, jumping on my jet ski, going and playing fetch with my dog, but doing things that just helped me to create some happiness. And so many of us, especially entrepreneurs, we're so hard on ourselves. We're all about the hustle and the grind and then we're missing our health.
Gerard Adams
00:08:38 - 00:10:00
We're missing our harmony. We're missing even just creating a moment of happiness that's a little selfish for you. And when you, when you just include that in between your sprints, in between a lot of the deep work sessions throughout the day, you'll notice again, your productivity will increase and you'll be making more money, having a healthier lifestyle. And so making sure to include happiness and then last but not least, heart and heart for me is self love and then love for others and my loved ones. Right? So really just taking time for you and whatever that means for you, whether that's having a good meal be at for dinner, whether that's taking a bath, whether that's, just really celebrating your wins and sharing some wins or whether that's also appreciating a loved one, appreciating your friends, appreciating your team, especially if you're in a relationship, whether you're married or just in a relationship with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you're just giving some love to them, appreciating them, connecting with them, creating intimacy. And you'll just notice that by doing that, your entire life will improve. And so these are these are the H five metrics that I use to master my day, master my routine as a multimillionaire, right? So we got health, harmony, hustle, happiness, heart. Again, we got health as the foundation, harmony, hustle, happiness, heart.
