How to Wake Up Feeling Totally(ˈtōdlē) Alert(əˈlərt)

You stand up and stretch(streCH), feeling totally alert, fully conscious(ˈkänCHəs), and eager(ˈēgər) to start your day. The thought of going back to bed to get some extra sleep seems completely alien(ˈālyən,ˈālēən) to you.

You’ll be able to exercise, shower, get dressed, eat a healthy breakfast(ˈbrekfəst), read some inspiring(inˈspīriNG) material(məˈtirēəl), and invest an hour in your home-based business — all before 8am. And you know that the habit of starting each day this way will serve you well for life.
