Robin Sharma Mastery Sessions

A Quick System to Set Up Your Spectacular Life

WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF MATTERS.

The more you say things, the more you believe them.

You have to tell yourself you will succeed.

Write it down every day.

Say it looking in the mirror.

People may look at you like you’re crazy. But the more you say it, the more they’ll start to believe it, too.

You will not get to where you want to go if you don’t believe in yourself. 

That’s why, for this Five Minute Friday, I’m sharing a conversation I had with Logan Paul whose strong belief in himself started in high school.


Logan Paul has achieved so much in such a short amount of time. He is a 23 year-old actor and internet star who started out making videos on Vine and now has an amazing 18.6 million subscribers on YouTube. He also has roles in the films The Thinning and The Space Between Us.


Logan says that having specific goals and working harder than everyone else has given him an edge over his peers.

The School of Greatness

Believing in Yourself

Have you celebrated where you are today?

It’s important to have big goals. It’s important to have high standards. But you also need to acknowledge all you’ve done.

Life isn’t only about the grind.

It’s also about joy.

This is a lesson I’ve had to learn through the years, and I believe it’s a key to my success.

You have to enjoy every step along the way.

I share this thought and many more on this special episode of The School of Greatness where I invited the winners of the Inspiring Life Contest from around the world to join me in the studio.

This past year, we held a contest on our Facebook Watch show, Inspiring Life. Those winners got a bunch of prizes including getting flown out to CA for an interview on the podcast. 

Amanda Michel from Dubai, Jackie Morey from Seattle, Pete Kotzbach from Redondo Beach, Julie Richard from New Brunswick, Canada, and Kelsey Ruger joined me for a live Q&A. They asked me questions on how I’ve created The School of Greatness, what makes a good interview, and my goals for the future.

The Mindset and Discipline to Build a Brand and Business

DON'T LET PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF GOOD.

We can talk ourselves out of almost anything.

“I’m not good enough.”

“I’m not ready.”

“I don’t have all the skills.”

But what if you just took the plunge? What if you risked things not being “perfect” and put yourself out there?

You might fail, but you’ll learn a lot more than if you had never shown your project to the world.

It’s like I always say- the biggest risk takers are the most interesting. 


For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with the entrepreneur Gunnar Lovelace who is passionate about telling people that it’s ok to make mistakes. 


Growing up poor with a single mom left Gunnar with a burning desire to create wealth to do good. As a result, he is a five-time serial entrepreneur focused on social impact at scale (people, planet + profit). Gunnar is the founder and CSO of Thrive Market, which offers organic groceries online at wholesale prices nationally. It has raised $200 million and grown to seven million users and 700 employees in three years.


Gunnar shares that part of the reason he is so successful is that he didn’t know everything when he started. He says that you need to get in the driver’s seat instead of overthinking.


Learn how to battle your perfectionism and dive into your dreams in Episode 735.


In This Episode You Will Learn:

What Gunnar tells his entrepreneurial friends (1:30)

Why it’s important to make mistakes (2:00)

How to use fear as a teacher (3:00)

Why you need real market feedback (4:00)

Stop Overthinking and Start Doing

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A BOOK, HOW WOULD YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO GO?

Whatever it is that you want to do in this new year- declare it.

Tell everyone.

One of the scariest things you can do is to admit your goals. What if you fail?

But saying your intentions out loud allows the universe and those around you to make them a reality.

Holding yourself accountable to what you really want won’t be easy, but it will force you to dig deep.

No one knows this better than my guest on today’s special episode of The School of Greatness. I’m sharing a speech from this year’s Summit of Greatness with an inspirational athlete and author: Amy Purdy.

Amy Purdy is a para-snowboarder, motivational speaker, clothing designer and New York Times bestselling author. She is a 2014 Paralympic bronze medalist, 2018 Paralympics silver medalist, and co-founder of Adaptive Action Sports. In 2013, She was named one of the top 15 most marketable para-athletes in the world by the International Olympic Committee.

Amy has competed on CBS’s The Amazing Race and ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, eventually becoming the show’s runner-up.

Amy used a tragedy that took her feet to push her to the next level. She teaches us to use obstacles not as a reason stop but as a springboard to new ideas.

So get ready to learn how to write your own story on Episode 743.

Amy Purdy: How to Be Your Best Self

SWEAT MORE IN TRAINING SO YOU'LL BLEED LESS IN WAR.

The nineties were a difficult time for me.

But I believe that I experienced that to give me the motivation to do what I’m doing today.

A rich life greatly lived is one that is also filled with challenges.

I want you to know that no matter what you’re going through, there is richness on the other side.

Take your wounds and turn them into wisdom.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with an incredible human who inspires leaders around the world: Robin Sharma.

Master Your Heart and Mind with Robin Sharma

YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH THAT YOU'LL FIND A WAY.

Do you allow doubt to trickle in?

Maybe I won’t make it. 

Maybe I’m not smart enough.

Maybe I’m not the person for the job.

Your self-belief has to be airtight if you want to go all the way. It has to be unwavering.

Once you believe in yourself authentically, you will get others on board who believe in you, too.

You have the power to create a movement.

That’s why, for this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Aubrey Marcus where explains how champions use self-belief as a tool to win.

Aubrey Marcus is the founder and CEO of Onnit, a lifestyle brand based on the holistic health philosophy Total Human Optimization. He regularly provides commentary to outlets like Entrepreneur, Forbes, The Doctors, and The Joe Rogan Experience. He has been featured on the cover of Men’s Health, is the author of the life-coaching course Go For Your Win, and author of the book Own The Day, Own Your Life from HarperCollins. 

Having self-belief doesn’t mean you’re cocky. It means that you’ve put in the work and you have the mindset to know you will accomplish what you set out to do. 

Learn why a strong belief in yourself is a key to success in any field in Episode 756.


In This Episode You Will Learn:
