Be deep vs. be light. World-class lives in a fanatical devotion to perfection on the tiny details. At a hotel I visited, they de-seeded the lemon wedges. Dial in your craft.

The Mentality of Mastery

Often, we are our greatest abusers. And when we increase the caring of our selves, we begin to sense the secret glory that rests at our base. And come to know all that we truly are.

As you love yourself more, you’ll grow intimacy with your natural genius, discover your truest powers and honor your highest self.

The Primary Relationship of Personal Heroism

Today's insight for A-Players: without relentless optimization you're on the path to irrelevance.

If you’re in business, the groovy days are gone and only the fittest will survive.

You absolutely need to shed excess expenses, seek out operational efficiencies and rework your shop so that you deliver astonishing value in a market where your competition is charging the same amount and giving customers less [just to survive].

Use what life is sending us to build a better you, grow a business that serves more people and live a life that’s more creative, joy-filled and kind.

Why So Few People Are Iconic

According to the definition, "meticulosity" means "an extreme attention to detail." Now I know we should do nothing to an extreme (Chinese wisdom tells us that "the bow too tightly strung is easily broken"). But I like the idea of having a masterful devotion around the details-both while we work and while we live. 

I’ve noticed that the best companies all have an OAD-obsessive attention to detail. 

OAD shows you care. That you are devoted to excellence. That you and your organization are striving for mastery. In all you do. In every way. And on every day.

OAD - Obsessive Attention to Detail

Clarity precedes mastery. The more clear you can get on what you want to create in life, the more focused you will be in your daily behaviors.

The Missing Link to Personal Mastery

The negative people, the pursuits you dislike and the environments that deplete your joy are costing you fortunes of income and empires of impact.

When it comes to Best of Breed Performance, one of the most valuable things I explain to my clients is the imperative of releasing these success bandits from your life.

The people who steal your fire, smother your ambitions and laugh at your visions are keeping your prosperity chained and your impact small. [This is an extremely important insight].

Having the wisdom and guts to let them go [while still wishing them well on their life's journey] is a total results-changer.

Deleting the energy vampires and drama enthusiasts, methodically and swiftly, will lead to your mindset becoming more positive, your bravery becoming more potent, your work becoming more excellent, your personal life becoming more peaceful and your place in the world becoming more unlimited.

So you can become the person nature truly wants you to be.

Do A Life Detox Audit

With better awareness you can own your craft.  

Here are 3 apps you can use [starting today] to raise your game to world-class.

Use These 3 Apps to Master Your Craft

To Lead Without Title is to make a leap. From accepting ordinary to crafting the extraordinary. From blaming others to looking in the mirror. From going to work to chasing a Calling.

Your greatest power is your power to choose. Own that power (versus saying that you can’t see your job as your mission). Yes, right here, right now – you can elevate what you do to some kind of a Crusade of Excellence. Some kind of an Agenda for Mastery. Some kind of a Revolution for Remarkability.

But you "just work in human resources" or "sell milk" or "work in a grocery store" you say to me. Own your power. You have the power to be excellent in that work. To inspire everyone who intersects your path. To innovate and make things better than ever before. To wow customers. And to stand for the best. Will you?

Listen to Robin Sharma's latest high-content Instagram Live where he walks you through ⁣3 insights from his work that will help you upgrade your productivity in this time of negativity and distraction [plus his best practical advice to help you stay strong in the pandemic].

The Science of Elite Performance + Exponential Leadership [Instagram Live]

Impact belongs to the misfits.

The brave and eclectic souls who see possibility amid naked negativity. The ones who chase down their loftiest ambitions with a stubborn faith in their greatest ideals—in the face of noisy trolls telling them what can’t be done.

The more you own your power and develop the exceptional confidence that comes with making your fantasies real, the bigger your dreams will get. And when that happens, even more people will think you’re weird. And foolish. And wrong.

Those who condemn you are locked in their limited beliefs and terrified of their own bigness.

And so they know not what they do.

Their criticism is awesome soil within which to grow your faith in yourself. And your ironclad trust in your finest instincts. Bless them rather than cursing them. For they are helping your rise.

The Misfit's Manifesto

Everyone does the best they can based on where they’re at. Once you get this insight, you’ll be less upset with hurtful people and more forgiving.

To carry anger within you over what someone did to you is to degrade your creativity, productivity and serenity. Being mistreated is nothing more than a training camp to build your strength to forgive.

And to forgive really is to be strong and powerful versus weak. So, forgive. Today. Please.

I do appreciate that this is easier written than done. Yet this fact doesn’t reduce the value of my encouragement to get great at this skill.
