As you know from the latest positive psychology, your personal story about what's possible becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You'll never perform higher than your self-identity. And what you believe to be possible.

All fortune begins within—with you loving who you are, embracing your talents, taking really great care of you by avoiding toxic influences, ensuring that you are well treated by others and nurturing your body through exercise, exposure to nature, a healthy diet, sunlight and lots of deep rest.

Escalate Your Self-Love [and Restructure Your Self-Identity] over 2021

Don't wait until you're successful to work on your optimism. Work on your optimism and you'll become a lot more successful. 

Optimism isn’t cheesy or soft or boring. Nope. It’s a mission-critical tool for anyone devoted to getting to their best. Every day brings challenges to those who dare/risk/push the envelope. Being the most optimistic person in the room will help you transcend them to your next level of greatness.

Why Genius Entrepreneurs Are Radiant Optimists

Some people laugh at the notion of being nice and decent and noble. “That’s a sign of weakness,” I hear. Nope. It’s a sign of strength. Anyone can put themselves first. Piece of cake. What takes guts is to stand for something higher and to be of service to others. Like Mandela. Like Gandhi. Like King. Heroes of mine.

So stand for something higher. Have impeccable manners. Be the kindest person you know. Be there for people. Show them you care. And, above all else, be good. No one ever regretted being the best person they knew as they rested on their deathbed.

Lead with Kindness

You can’t have an A-level business with C-level performers. If you want to have more impact on your marketplace, develop your people to have greater impact and the quickest way to grow your company is to grow your people. I’m going to say that again because it’s ridiculously important. You might not need more people. You might not have to fire any people. Maybe you’re just not mentoring, coaching, inspiring, developing the latent talent in your people enough.

And remember - external leadership begins with internal mastery. You can’t help in the building of an extraordinary organization until you commit to becoming an extraordinary person.

How to Hire, Manage and Retain A-Level Performers

We are in some harsh times.  Many of us are going through real pain.

During the hard times i’ve gone through in my life, I pour my pain onto the white sheet of paper, for healing and advancing.

Daily journal writing has deepened me, made me far more intentional on what I do and how I live and dramatically elevated my performance. It’s also a brilliant accelerator for creativity.

If you’re not journalling, my encouragement is that you start today. It’ll really help you win.

Keep a Journal to Process Your Pain [and reclaim your most luminous self]

For people thinking like victims, the road ahead will be grim.

...for those who have been building their leadership strengths, calibrating their morning routines, installing the habits of mastery and fireproofing their personal capacities, the future will be incredibly bright.

In today's episode of Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma shares a a game-changing insight on how to install a  leadership mentality. And as you rise into more creativity, bravery, confidence and power, your fine example will inspire us all to do the same.

The #1 Mindset to Rise from the Ashes

Plagues have happened before. Human beings made it through them and often used the hardship to breed innovation that upgraded society.

During this storm, rather than play victim and wish things were the way they used to be (those days are gone), elevate your leadership game and out-invent everyone around you.

Rather than freezing, create new value that your marketplace will adore. Products that customers now need more than ever and services that will help them make their desires real.

Suffering has always provided soil for awesome creativity, next-level productivity and innovation.

Working on a better Mindset while neglecting your Heartset  [as introduced in The 5AM Club] sets up a situation of self-sabotage where your intellect knows what you should do yet your emotional world keeps you limited.

Why Emotional Healing is Essential to Expert Performance

Hard gets such a bad rap. ⁣
⁣
Yet when it comes to a project or a workout or a relationship or a life, in my experience it is the doing of that which is difficult that delivers the most valuable results. Elite performers, therefore, practice enjoying the doing of difficult things. ⁣
⁣
Consistently embrace the activities that are hardest. Eventually, the hard things become easier. Because we’ve made ourselves stronger.⁣

Do Hard Things Daily

The global economy is in a state of acute disruption. Competition has never been more fierce. Consumers have never been so well-informed and loudly demanding. And what worked yesterday just might be obsolete today.

But this time is also a great time, for the astonishing few who are ready to show leadership. Leaders are at their absolute best during messy cycles versus during the easy ones. And messy cycles bring with them gorgeous opportunities.

Share + discuss + debate these potent insights with your team and throughout your organization. Within a quick period of time, you’ll see some fantastic results.
