65 Days to Personal Power Course
I consider myself to be an experienced personal development junkie and deliberated over whether or not to join Joel's course, mainly as I thought I 'knew enough'!!
How wrong could I be.
The course was a huge eye opener on how to design a life which aligns with your values, whilst creating systems to ensure you stay on track.
The elements of the course which you could perceive to be a bit 'woo woo', such as meditation, were explained in a rational and scientific way, which for me personally made them much more impactful.
Forming meaningful connections with the other course participants was an unexpected but incredible experience.
Joel has clearly gone 'all in' in search of knowledge and trialled and tested the techniques he's researched. The result is a hugely knowledgeable and authentic coach, who is highly relatable and a strong communicator.
If you want to improve yourself and enhance your experience of life, I would recommend jumping on board any of the courses Joel offers. It is an investment which will compound and positively impact all aspects of your life.
5am club
Really enjoyed doing this with Joel it’s felt good doing it as a group, learned lots highly recommend it
I joined the 5am challenge to help create more time for me
I joined the 5am challenge to help get me back into a better morning routine for the summer. I really enjoyed the priming sessions and the different breathing techniques each day, a great way to start the day and give me energy. Also loved the daily lessons. I got so much done over those 2 weeks just by getting up earlier and having that extra ‘magic time!’ I’ll definitely be continuing to get up at 5am now 😊
Valuable lessons for life
Joel’s 5am challenge was really enjoyable and challenging. He provided so much value in the morning check ins and daily zoom calls. This didn’t feel like a normal ‘challenge’ but something much deeper and more sustainable. I feel like I’ve come away with proper life lessons from these last 2 weeks. Highly recommend (if he does it again)
A transformational program - Go for it
The last 2 weeks of Joel’s 5am Club have really helped me obtain focus, clarity, happiness and hunger for life.
I now totally realise what benefits Waking up at 0500 has for you to Win Your Morning and this Win Your Day.
The daily coaching sessions have integral to the above change in my life. Thank you Joel
The 5am Club was incredible
The 5am Club was incredible. Great early morning priming sessions and then fantastically useful structure and insight in the daily calls. I thought I’d get a lot from this but it was even more than I expected - it’s made a huge difference in my productivity, drive and impact.
Life changing coaching
Joel has made an incredible impact on my life, and he has supported a pivotal shift in my career with the most skillful ninja-like change-evoking questions.
As part of an intersectional minority (LGTBIQ+, Latin-American, and English as my second language), I have always felt respected and acknowledged in a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming coaching space. This safe space has been essential for creating long-lasting change in me.
Another critical element that has made Joel coaching so effective and profoundly transformative is his deconstructive and healthy masculinity which shows in his caring presence, self-awareness, and the integration of intuition and embodiment in his sessions. He is walking the talk, and I couldn't recommend him more — a fully rounded, talented, and inspiring coach.
An oft mentioned mantra that pretty…
An oft mentioned mantra that pretty much sums up the group:
“What you do on tough days determines what you do on the extraordinary days”
Joel was able to organize a world’s worth of knowledge, insight, and learned experiences, and organize it in a way that allowed a group of men - in various stages of life and goals - the opportunity to build their world and develop the systems from the top down that will enable us to continue this work on our own. All within 10 weeks.
Over the last few years, I’ve struggled with building my own systems and determining what I want out of life. This program has helped give me clarity of purpose that I’ve been lacking and the necessary systems and tools to build the life I want.

Selling Sunset… a real life Mr Motivator
Finding the right coach for you is a deeply personal topic. In Joel Burgess you have a man who will be in your corner, and offer you a toolkit for meaningful change and future success.
In the past I had read a great deal about the benefits of the 5am Club. Whenever I thought about it concretely the challenge was that the excuses for me came too easily. I have worked with Joel before but it niggled me that my morning routine was still the root cause of most of the issues I faced. Joel’s stories and posts spoke directly to my anxiety on the issue. And so I took the plunge. And the rest is history. Inspiring, motivating and deeply honest, Joel’s approach is as refreshing as it is impressive.
Joel will not just sell you sunset, he will help your find your own sunset and a lounger from which to enjoy the view. But this isn’t an unattainable dream. It’s either free of charge or at an affordable rate.
I cannot recommend him highly enough!

The 63 Days Course to Personal Power…
The 63 Days Course to Personal Power has been brilliant. This is the first time I have embarked on something like this and I really enjoyed the learning process. Joel provided the tools to consistently become better in life. Focusing on work, energy and love, the videos that were a weekly focus really taught me how I can get better in these areas. Completing the course with others had a sense of accountability which was perfect rather than feeling like therapy. I have since reverted to what we have been coaches on more than one occasion and now have the ability to do this moving forward. Thank you Joel and thank you to the other gents from January 2022!

A Great Coach Who Lives What He Teaches
I took part Joel's 5 am week-long workshop recently and have seen a huge amount of value from it. Joel is generous, curious, thoughtful and authentic. You can see he has done the work on himself and, even though he is teaching and sharing a huge amount of knowledge, he still very much thinks of himself as a student of the world with a huge desire to keep on evolving himself. I would highly recommend any of Joel's courses or workshops - I plan to do more myself in the future.

Inspiring and yet knowledge/rationale to back up the processes/methods is excellent.

Would definitely recommend giving it a go
Joel is a wealth of knowledge, he has a great expertise and there is no doubt he knows what he is talking about.
What sets him apart is that it isn't just theoretical. He has walk the walk and that is - in my opinion - what sets great coach apart.
I would highly recommend to anyone taking part in the challenge.

I’m a new man
I’m a new man!
Never got to grips with waking up at 5am but the plan Joel put in place for the group made it finally possible.
Not only that, but I’ve been able to meet new like-minded, interesting people and kick off some new conversations. Win win win
Highly recommended!

What a week!
What a week!! Joel’s 5am Club Challenged was a commitment of mind, body and soul and with that came a stretch. This stretch has not only opened my eyes and heart to creating more meaningful spaces for my own nourishment but a stretch that has kickstarted my self belief again. I am looking forward to moving more into this stretch!
Joel has given us tools, encouragement, inspiration and has embedded all he has delivered in research.
Thank you Joel, this week has been a huge pivot for my self belief and development! X

Game changer
I have read a lot of self help books and done a few other courses, this was the first one that actually put me into actions. Joel is amazing at breaking done and making you want to put the work in. The 63 days course has changed my life and I have picked up some amazing habits and processed that will give me a better life. Anyone who is debating doing it I would suggest to sign up if you want a better yourself, get focus, be grateful and step it up.

Just what I needed 💪
Sometimes you just need the right person to show you your way. Joel was exactly that person ! He allowed me to (re)find my purpose, to get my goals aligned. I’m very grateful for the time he took to share without restraint a lot of his knowledge during his #5amclubchallenge. Like he said at the beginning of the week, you will leave with a done list, and it is exactly that.
Thanks again Joel !
