You may find it odd that a teacher of Leadership and Elite-Performance in business is speaking of self-love. Yet it’s only once you learn to love yourself that you can love your visions and love your craft and give your heart to the development of your team and operate in full on service to your clients—and in the hot chase of a better world.

1 Tactic to Grow Self-Love

Every Leader Without a Title and world-class productive runs toward what they are most resisting versus toward the exit door. They feel the fear of tackling a game-changing project and do the project anyway. They acknowledge the sweaty palms before the high-stakes presentation, and give the presentation anyway. They experience the runaway heartbeats accompanying asking for the biggest order in the history of their company, and they ask anyway. And that’s what makes them great.

Do What's Most Difficult

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

The subject I'll walk you through today is a game-changing method I initially developed through my coaching of ultra-successful people, many of whom suffer from so many distractions in their lives that their productivity falls apart. It's called the 90/90/1 Rule and, given how beautifully it worked for my private clients, I wanted to make sure I shared it with you.

The 90/90/1 Rule [to x25 Your Productivity]

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

You and I work for the world, you know. And so we owe it to those around us to realize our natural genius while we optimize our crafts, elevate our creativity, heighten productivity and be helpful to more people.

I know you're important. I know you're a busy producer. I get that people need your attention and your decisions. Go to war. Fight to go dark and be completely unavailable. Distractions are costing you your genius. The business won't burn down and your team will figure it out.

You doing masterful work is all that matters here. Trust me on this. Be nearly totally unavailable. Just watch what ideas start downloading and just see the quality of your output.

How True Luminaries Get Dreams Done

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.
