1. It’s a lot easier to maintain a schedule like that when you have a team of people to hold you accountable

2. They’re probably describing their ideal day, that actually happens less than 30% of the time

In my experience, this isn't it at all.

The more people who need your input/help and make demands on your time, the less personal and free time you have.

Being a CEO feels exactly like being a Dad with 6 Toddlers. If you want even a micro-second for yourself it has to be before everyone else wakes up.

That's why they wake up at 4:00am. It's not because they are dominating the world... its because they are trying to hide from it.

I wonder how many CEO's are the opposite, i.e. stay up late for the same reasons.

Elon Musk?

Not so. I know people who live this way.
