In this episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma shares a valuable insight on the leadership mindset.

Your "I CAN" is More Important Than Your IQ

Life is a series of seasons.  My harsh winters have given way to my sunny springs. My fallow fields of stifled creativity have led to the most abundant of harvests. Trust the process. Relax.

Life is a Series of Seasons

Run your own race. Who cares what others are doing? 

The only question that matters is "Am I progressing?"

Run Your Own Race

One of the primary principles of real leadership is being uber-nice. Wildly empathetic. Staggeringly compassionate. The nicest (and best person you know). 

Why? Because leadership (and business/life) is all about people. Human connections. Social equity. Emotional bonds between you and your stakeholders (the people you work with/your customers/suppliers and the community you serve).

Our world says that if you are a leader, in many ways, it’s about what you get. What I’m going to suggest to you with deep respect is: “Being a leader is about what you give.” 

It’s a paradox because as you give more you actually receive more.

The Power of Kind

We do become our associations. Hang with mediocre players and their vibe will hang with you. Spend your days with The Best of Breed and their thinking/feelings/behavior cannot help but influence yours. Associate with world-class and you step into a world of possibilities you didn’t even know existed. Your social orbit matters.

Your Social Orbit Matters

Age is just some label society places on us [and prints on a driver's license]. And yet so many of us allow it to limit our heroic nature and instinct for greatness.

Positive psychologists confirm (through good research) the power of the self-fulfilling prophecy: think you're old and you'll become old. [Because if you think you're old, you'll move less, create less, work less, dream less... which will make you old!].‎ 

In this episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, I'll walk you one powerful way to become ageless. So you become peerless.

How To Become Ageless

The majority are stuck in scarcity. They don’t give much to their organizations nor to their customers. And so their people never fall in love with them—and their brands.⁣⁣

Being a real leader is about what you GIVE versus what you get. 

In today's episode, I’ll invite you to play with a potent insight on shifting from scarcity to leadership.

The 10x Value Obsession

When people feel appreciated, they shine.

Although I see a positive shift as more people in business embrace the ideal of monomaniacal value creation and a career built on authentic contribution [business used to be only about money versus craft, community and acute service to humanity], some still feel that if they give a lot, they'll lose too much.

And so I've recorded this podcast episode called How to Stop Being Used. It's pretty short but pretty valuable for you as a Leader Without a Title, A-Player and world-lifter.

How To Stop Being Used

There can be no success without failure. It's just part of the process. The companies and people who have reached the heights of success are the same ones who have failed the most. 

You need to fail to win. And the faster you fail, the more quickly you’ll learn precisely what you need to do to win.  So Fail Fast. Outfail the competition. Outfail the person you once were.

Failure is Fuel for Success [If You Choose So]

In this world where so few of us are comfortable being alone, being in the wilderness, in this world where almost everywhere you go there’s technology and there’s noise and there’s complexity. Almost everywhere you go people want to talk, talk, talk, talk. Just imagine what your life would be like as a creative person, as a leader, as a productive person, as a producer, as a human being if you installed a weekly ritual of going for a walk in the woods. To me, it’s like a tonic from toxicity.

Get into Nature [A Tonic from Toxicity]

Developing the skill of raising children who are authentic, loving, creative, ethical and excellent not only makes your future exponentially happier, you'll also make the world vastly better [as it's the next generation that will run the planet]. 

In this episode, I'll walk you through what recent research confirms is the #1 family ritual to guarantee the academic and life success of your children.
