This mastery session is all about big lessons to win at life. What I wanted to do is let you in under the kimono a little bit and share a number of the lessons that have been of service to me as I've walked through the journey of my life so far. I must confess to you, I am no guru, in my book "The Greatness Guide" one of the first things I said, I think it was the first chapter which is, I'm no guru. I'm a work in progress, I am not the ideal but I have a lot of ideals. I am far from perfect, but my dream and my hope is that by the end of my life, and I hope I get to live a long life, I live so many of the ideals that I aspire to. I think that's the part about being human, we have these ideals and every single day, when we fall we get back up. When we get a little off course we have the opportunity to get back on course. 

A number of summers ago I was flying from Zimbabwe to White River, South Africa, and we were in a little plane and the pilot allowed me to fly the plane. It was really a fascinating experience because behind the controls there was this needle, this dial. He said, "Just make sure the needle stays at the center of the dial and we're going to be absolutely fine." Literally there were the winds and the forces taking this little plane off and all I had to do was turn the, I don't know if you'd call it a steering wheel, but the controls back to bring the needle front and center so we stayed on course. We get off course and on course, and isn't life like that? Every single day we get taken off course. We get busy versus focused. We want to do the run or we want to do the work out but there's this seduction by some kind of a distraction. We have an ideal of being world-class in our work but there's this attraction to sort of taking a little short cut. Literally every single day is an opportunity to get back on course with that needle of your world-class ideals. I wanted to offer you some ideas that have really served me well, because I'm just like you, I'm trying to aspire to the top of the mountain over the course of the rest of my life

The first idea that life has really taught me is really this: Small wins matter. I mean we sometimes think an epic life occurs one sunny Friday afternoon when the stars line up and something revolutionary occurs. What I'm suggesting to you with great love and great respect is, a great life is not built by revolution. A great life is built by evolution. Small and steady wins the race. What you do everyday is far more important than what you do once every decade. I want you to really think about that idea. What you do everyday is simply your life in miniature. As you live every single day, so you are crafting your life. What you do over the next hour is really building your future. If you can just get and if I can just get every single pocket of 24 hours right as best as we humanly can, the rest of our life is going to take care of itself.

Small wins matter. The moment in front of the customer where the pull was to go average and you become a merchant of wow, sets you up for the next day of a way of being of wow. The little win with your family when you feel like watching TV sets you up for another win the next day. A little win of getting up at 5 O'clock and running your morning routine sets you up for a habit of a 5 A.M.  club morning routine. Small daily improvements over time will lead you to stunning results. Tiny wins are the way to greatness.

Big Lessons to Win at Life

This mastery session is all about a question I get asked from time to time: “What’s the true purpose of life?”. Also in this episode, I take you back to my childhood and share some insights I’ve learned that can be of great use to you.

The True Purpose of Life

A lot of people are very careless with their language. I mean, the words you use can lift up your energy, make you more creative. The words you use either allow you to do world-class things or the words you use deny your talents.

Why Your Words Matter

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 being a leader is about what you give. It's a paradox because as you give more you actually receive more.

The Strangest Paradox of Leadership

Without iron-levels of confidence, your beautiful ambitions + passionate visions will die a quick death.

Confidence is a master-trait of titans + world-builders. The great news: you can install it.

Millions of people just like you are watching the episodes of my Mastery Sessions podcast and seeing peak results.

This new one I made for you is called How Change-Makers Generate 
Confidence. You’ll absolutely love it…

I’m here for you. Your partner in greatness. Your mentor for mastery.

Yet, count on me to always be honest with you: no idea works until you do the work. So please ACT on the ideas in this episode. Because I want you to win. And the world needs you to shine.

Love + Respect,
Robin

How Change-Makers Generate Confidence

Much of my life has been a devotion to a simple expression: you can Lead Without a Title.

The old model of leadership taught us that to lead meant the need to have a formal position, high authority and a big office.

But we’re now in Leadership 2.0.

And if you want your organization to win. And if you want your craft to fly, you absolutely need to learn to show brilliant leadership without relying on a title [or needing one].

So, if–on this precious day of your massively important life–you’re amped/excited and set to learn:

- how the best leaders think
- ways to leap from victim to world-builder
- why growing more leaders is Job #1
- my popular “3 I Practice” for creating a culture of people who lead versus coast that has inspired my clients to scale great companies…

…then definitely watch this hot new Mastery Session with your team [or family]

Remember, what you do every day is x100 more important than what you do once a year.

And the finest leaders + the fastest performers all make the time to learn + grow daily. Why? Because as you know more you’ll achieve more. And as you become better, you’ll experience greater.

So definitely watch, study and then deconstruct [I’ll do a video sometime on how I deconstruct insights as it’s such a potent practice] this ‎episode.

Ok. Hope this helps. Go be great!

With love + respect,
Robin

The Concept of Leadership

Are you ready to learn:

-how to use flight time for show time so you become The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Your Field?
- the awesome value of upgrading your hotel room so you bring on genius-level performance into everything you do?
- my famous “Forced-Optimization Strategy” [FOS] that has helped my beloved clients at Personal Mastery Academy and my annual flagship 4 day event The Titan Summit create fortunes of uncommon success + service in our confusing world?
- “The 3 Energizers” that will x100 the joy, gorgeousness and deep value of every trip you take for the remainder of your career‎?

If you answered “yes” to learning these powerful ideas + routines I’ve discovered over 2 decades criss-crossing the planet delivering leadership presentations, you will LOVE my new Mastery Session.
Hope this helps you own your craft, lift your life and make your contribution to the world.

All green lights,
Robin

Potent Productivity Practices While Travelling

I’m going to lovingly challenge your deepest assumptions today.

A dominant belief of our culture is that immortality is impossible. And yet, look at Shakespeare and Mozart. Tesla and Salk. Marcus Aurelius and Kurt Cobain.

Each of us, every day, through the jobs we do are offered a shot at greatness, an opportunity to reach immortality.

As we produce work that becomes pure poetry, we impact and influence our teammates, we wow our suppliers, we inspire customers and strangers. And we lead our industry.

And once we make this our operating system, we begin to live on in the lives that we are blessed to touch.

Do this daily, and you’ll create a tsunami of contribution. Continue it for a lifetime and your Body of Work will remain, long after you’re gone.

If you’re ready to leap from “doing a job” to “living a mission”, definitely make the time to watch, study (and then deconstruct in your journal or on a whiteboard) this Mastery Session.

Remember: what separates the A-Performers from the ordinary ones is they make the time to invest in the knowledge and create the spaces to study their craft.

So do what all pros do: dig deep into learning. And watch this video.
In service of your greatest growth, maximum impact and truest success,

With love + respect,
Robin

From a Job to a Craft

It’s Summertime in my hometown. Flowers bloom, breezes flow and fast times on mountain bikes ;)

I’ll soon be back on the road to work more on my new book The 5 am Club‎ in Rome, to do a big private corporate event in JoBurg and another Legendary Leadership session in gorgeous Mauritius. Amped + uber-excited to work my craft and serve out loud, is how I feel as I write this message to you.‎

Ok. Let’s focus on you. Today’s Mastery Session is an absolute needle-mover if you’re in business. [And if you’re not, you will still receive rich value from the 10 minutes and 30 seconds it take to watch this].

…when I interviewed Richard Branson on the stage of The Titan Summit there was electricity in the room. And what became clear was his genius-level skill in not only dreaming up a heroic vision but in surrounding himself with the right people to get it done.

The bigger your Mighty Mission, the more vastly important it is to learn how the icons build elite teams. And in this new Mastery Session I’ll walk you through advanced ideas that have helped my Titans rise to BIW [Best in World] including:

The 1 From 1000 Insight
Hire on Mindset ‎Not History
Why Eating With Your People Wins
The Importance of Uncommon Respect

Hope all this content I send you with such care is helping you rock your craft, raise your game and own your field.

Love + respect + bye.
Robin

How To Build a Team of Picassos

I truly believe that given the twin forces of globalisation + market disruption, it has never been so important to do your finest work and 
lead your professional field.

You’re competing against top talent across the world these days. And so only the best will thrive.

I love great quotes. The right line can carry an entire book’s worth of insight + impact.

And so I’ve made this new Mastery Session for you where I share 5 of my favorite quotes to evoke your highest performance.

Hope this helps. And please remember: little acts of progress performed each day with consistency cause vast improvements over time. Make today count.

Your fan always,
Robin

5 Quotes To Lift Your Game

Transcending what terrifies you and finding freedom from fear is one of the primary pursuits of people rising to world-class, both in their work and within their lives.

The project you are most scared to do is the one that holds your greatest growth. So why flee from it?

In this hot new Mastery Session, I walk you through some of my best thinking on how to become braver, stronger and more creative in the face of resistance.

I truly hope this episode will fuel your inspiration as well as kickstart your noblest self.

Kindest wishes,
Robin

The Cure For Fear

I’m in an ultra-creative field today so needed to send this over to you with a ton of appreciation for your highest potential…

…and with a heart overflowing with encouragement for your greatest IMPACT.

If you’re amped to access your hidden talents, become uncommonly true to you, install rare-air audacity and learn how to transcend what terrifies you, check out this Mastery Session on Leaving The Cult of Average.

And please remember: it doesn’t matter where you start, only that you begin.

Your fan always,

Robin

Leave The Cult Of Average Today

I went mountainbiking for the first time this year (the snow finally melted) so I'm in an uber-great mood as I write you this message :)

If you've been following my work for a while, whether on Facebook [we're almost 3 million people strong on my page], Instagram [coolest platform on the planet] or via my books or perhaps going x100 higher into a life that makes history by attending my flagship annual event The Titan Summit [we're in Zurich this year and the lineup will blow your mind], you know that the one who serves the best wins.

I've been evangelizing standing for a cause larger than yourself, leadership through radical helpfulness and constructing a life of ridiculous impact for 20+ years. Yes, I started in this field when I was 2 ;)

And though I see beautiful change in the world 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 created a Mastery Session 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.

As always, hope it serves your rise to legendary.

Robin

How To Stop Being Used

Here’s the great seduction of a human life: we postpone doing what matters most until some time in the future when we hope it will all be easier.

And yet, you’re smart so you know the truth: there will never be a better day than this day to step into the life you’ve always longed to live [and start becoming the person you’ve always hoped to be].

To reconnect you with the preciousness of life and to give you some tactical insights to x25 your sense of energy and fulfillment, I’ve made a new Mastery Session called 5 Things To Do Before You Die.

You, your gifts and the rest of your life is just too important to me and the rest of the world for you to experience anything less than your best.

So make some tiny (or massive) shifts today. Dream big/start small/begin now :)

With much love,

Robin

5 Things To Do Before You Die

This episode is a relatively quick one where I'm going to deconstruct one of my well-known brain tattoos. It's essentially this: "Make your 'I can' more important than even your IQ."
