Multi-Million Dollar Morning Routine

About this video

Dan Martell walks through the eight-step morning routine he follows as CEO of a multi-million dollar company, in his description. Step one is the night before: magnesium for sleep, a calendar review, and a pen-to-paper brain dump of 10-15 open loops to sort the next morning, then time with his wife and comedy — he names Kill Tony — so he falls asleep quickly. Step two is waking around 4 a.m. without an alarm after seven to eight hours of sleep, never snoozing, and taking supplements by the sink including vitamin D — he says about 3,000 IU a day — NMN and a high-quality multivitamin. He wears the same style of clothes daily to cut decisions. Step three is hydration: a full litre of water with BioSteel electrolytes, then coffee. Step four is feeding his mind in his chair: reading 10 pages of a non-fiction personal development book, then creating and diagramming on his iPad. Step five is gratitude journaling with The Five Minute Journal, setting intentions and affirmations, plus Mendi brain training to improve focus for the one or two big decisions a day. Step six is a daily workout — ‘sweat every day,’ exhausting the body to tame the mind — followed by a cold plunge, which he says he does for about two to three minutes. Step seven is a repeat breakfast, an egg-white protein bread sandwich he can make in about three to four minutes while getting ready, tracking macros to avoid decision fatigue. Step eight is reviewing his major yearly goals, pinned in his notes app, three times a day and visualising who he needs to become.

Key takeaways

• Start the night before: calendar review plus a pen-to-paper dump of 10-15 open loops so you do not toss and turn
• Wake around 4 a.m. without snoozing after seven to eight hours of sleep, and keep supplements where you cannot forget them
• Hydrate with a litre of water with electrolytes, then read 10 pages and create before consuming the day
• Train both body and brain daily: sweat every day, use a cold plunge, gratitude journaling and focus training
• Eat a repeat, macro-tracked breakfast and review your yearly goals three times a day to pull the future forward
