** INTRODUCTION TO MORNING HERO**

Hi, My name is Jarvis and I'm the Morning Hero! Before I tell you about this awesome opportunity, let me first tell you a little about me and my company.

I wake up at 5am with vibrant energy ready to DOMINATE every single day!! I am probably the happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilled person in the world :-) But it wasn’t always this way… 5 years ago, I was not happy with my life. I wasn't making the income that I wanted... I was overweight... and I always felt "stressed out". I just felt stuck in my life. This lead to me abusing drugs and alcohol to numb myself from my unhappiness. Eventually, I lost everything. I got fired from my job, me and my girlfriend separated and I had to move into my friends basement. I was at a rock bottom.

I new I wasn't living up to my full potential in life. I knew that I meant for greatness! That’s when I became OBSESSED with personal development. I read a book called "The Miracle Morning" that introduced me to the power of waking up early with a structured morning routine.

I started waking up at 5 am every day to work on my goals. Within 30 days, My life completely transformed! I started my own business, I got down to the best shape of my life, and I asked the woman of my dreams to marry me. It was unbelievable how fast my life transformed from this simple concept... wake up early and set my intentions every morning for what I want in life, and then take action to get it! Every MORNING, I would do this routine and I turned into a HERO. Every MORNING, I turned into a HERO… and that’s how the MORNINGHERO was born!

Now my passion and purpose is to help millions of people become MORNING HEROES so they can live up to their full potential and have all the success and happiness that they deserve in life! I believe that we can end depression and substance abuse by helping people WIN EVERY.DAMN.DAY!

When everyone lives up to their true greatness in life, the world will be a much better place. And that's our mission at the MorningHero... to inspire everyone to live in their true greatness so the whole world can be uplifted and elevated!

At the Morning Hero… we are truly trying to make the world a better place. So if this resonates with you.... let’s go, we’ve got work to do!!

** THE ROLE **

I am currently writing a book that breaks down the Morning Hero Framework of how to WIN your day. It goes like this... everyday, there are 5 big things that you should accomplish to have a WINNING day.

1. Heart Rate - raise your heart rate by doing some Exercise
2. Eating right
3. Read
4. ONE BIG THING (towards your biggest goal)
5. Spread Joy

I call these, "The HERO'S Habits" because the first letter of each habit spells the word HERO'S. Every time you complete a habit, you get a star ??. The goal is to have a 5 star day!

I want to build a mobile app to help people take score on their day each day (like a habit tracker).

Each morning, they will go into the app to set their intentions for a 5 star day. They will simply state what action they will take for each habit (ie. Heart rate - I will run 2 miles). Once their intentions are set, they must complete each item to have a WINNING day. at the end of the day, they will take score and see how many stars the achieved.

They will accumulate points and they can see their score on a leaderboard compared to all the other Morning Hero's in the system. This will motivate them to stay at the top of the leaderboard!

They can also form accountability groups so they can see their score compared to everyone in their group.

The goal is for the app to "gamilfy" their success habits. I want it to feel like a game (like the Duolingo app). They get points and awards for hitting certain milestones (like a 7 day "hot streak").

The "game" should be very visual with fancy animations when they get a 5 star day so they feel proud and accomplished. This will motivate them to keep getting 5 star days.

This will be primarily used on mobile, but we also need a web interface. Each person will have a dedicated Coach and the coach can pull up the leaderboard for everyone that's in their group. The coaches conduct a daily accountability call with everyone in their group and they will pull up the group leaderboard during their group call. This will be over zoom, so the coach will need to be able to pull up the leaderboard in a web browser to show everyone on zoom.

eventually, I see the app needing to integrate with a calendar so when the user identifies their 5 critical actions (they can schedule them on their calendar). this is a "nice to have" feature but not necessary for the MVP

I'm looking for someone who can help me build each piece of this puzzle... back end, web front end and mobile app.

We will need to work close together as we nail down the requirements and the features of the app. We will meet at least once each week to go over progress. This meeting will happen at 6am PST so you will need to be available during that time.
