Name: Stop Being a Prisoner of Your Past by Robin Sharma
Duration: 2 min 40 s
Description: Stop holding on to that which doesn’t serve you. You can’t enter your terrifically bright future held down by experiences, habits and beliefs that keep you chained in the past.

It doesn't matter where you start, only that you begin. And once you do, life begins to put the wind behind your sails. The Muse comes out to play. Your best self starts revealing more of its higher nature.

You’ve been blessed with hidden jewels that lie deep within. These are the talents that slumber, the gifts that lay dormant and the calls on your life that we all ask you to live.

Without you showing up, shining fully, standing up after you’ve fallen, persisting when you feel like surrendering, we’ll all be less of a human family. Things will be colder. And the world will be less bright.

So please. Just start. We’ll applaud your rise. And I’ll watch your star blaze the path that so many will follow.

Nothing Happens Until You Move

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

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.

Produce Fresh Solutions [to Beat Obsolescence in Business]

Massive productivity without intelligent recovery leads to depletion of ability.

Please study the model in The 5AM Club called the "Twin Cycles of Elite Performance” and once you learn/apply it, it will help you work x2 less and yet be x3 more productive. 

Recovery isn’t a luxury—it’s an absolute NECESSITY [for growth and the full expression of your gifts + talents]. ⁣

Release All Guilt Conditioned from a "Hustle and Grind" World

Stop holding on to that which doesn’t serve you. You can’t enter your terrifically bright future held down by experiences, habits and beliefs that keep you chained in the past.

Stop Being a Prisoner of Your Past

Victims make excuses. Leaders deliver results.

Your excuses are liars, your doubts are thieves. The more times in a day that you rationalize why you can’t become all that you wish to be or handcraft the life that your best self wants, the more you’ll hardwire the neural circuit of that belief into your brain.

And that which you keep practicing is that which you’ll become a pro at. We become amazing at the things we repeat.

If you keep excusing away your power to do remarkable things, grow stronger amid adversity, and live the life of your ideals, you won’t do the work required to realize these feats.

So your very mental habit will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. And actually limit the glory of your potentially awesome reality.

The Game-Changer's Protocol

The things you schedule are the things you’ll get done.

Simple insight, yes. Game-changing if you live it. [The willpower researchers say that “pre-commitment strategies” like goal-setting work superbly in making change that endures].

So, early every Sunday morning set a discipline to build out your ideal week ahead. Add your workout blocks, your family meals and your massage periods. Write in your creative segments and record your times for team meetings. Get each of our key pursuits into the plan. Then lock and load on it, daily.
