Learn the secrets of how successful people start their days!

One hour can change your life.

That's not an empty promise. It's a data driven fact.

Successful people, no matter where they are successful, take great care with the first hour of the day. And while they don't know it, there is a very consistent pattern to that hour. These leaders, from all ages and places, be it in business, the arts, sports, nonprofits, or even running a healthy and happy household, share similar key approaches to how they start their day. This intentional use of time at the beginning of their day helps them fuel their talents and perform at their best.

William Vanderbloemen, bestselling author of Be the Unicorn and the founder of the nation's largest and most successful values-based executive search firm, has interviewed thousands of his most successful placements to find what they have in common that contributes to their success. And while not all unicorns get up at 6 a.m. or jog five miles before breakfast, almost every one of them has a consistent wakeup time and adheres to an exercise schedule. These are just two of the elements that go into a unicorn's morning routine.

Filled with examples and based on research, Wake-Up Call is more than a checklist of what to do and not to do when you wake up in the morning.

• Learn the science behind what makes a morning routine successful.
• Understand the evolution of how practice becomes a habit.
• Form realistic expectations on when to expect transformation to take place?
