I'm not sure what world makes something like this possible, but every client I've had in the past (I contract to businesses) needs flexibility. If I were this rigid then there's no way it would be possible to meet their needs. Not necessarily specifically with early morning, but just throughout the day.

Asking your team to respect the fact you block out some time every day to focus is good, and most teams will respect that especially if you also respect times they want to avoid distractions. Clients can be managed too, but sometimes their needs are more important. I've always found my clients are happy for me to tell them I'm busy unless it's a critical issue.
