Name: The Mentality of Mastery by Robin Sharma
Duration: 4 min 15 s
Description: 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.

To triumph in these times you really must become a contrarian and process events through a completely different operating system than the majority uses. Tactically this means: "stick to your knitting” and stay ultra-concentrated only on those pursuits within your control (deepening personal mastery, forging even better family unity and making your masterpieces) versus worrying about things you cannot control (which is a recipe for dramatic misery).

One Way That The Business Titans Do It

Stop comparing yourself to others. It’s a great way to destroy confidence and diminish performance. 

The real game to play is to get better than yesterday’s self. Why dilute your energy comparing yourself to others when the real work is materializing the genius within you. 

There’s only one you on the planet today. You’ve been built to dazzle. And designed to inspire.

Why You Need to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others [Today]

You CAN recode your Mindset so you win. In today's episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, I share a daily tactic that will help you create The Elite-Performer's Blueprint. Once applied, this practice will change the game for you.

The Elite-Performer's Blueprint

Given that we cannot go outside and travel as well as we could before March, I passionately encourage you to use this period to go within.

Imagine taking the next 6 months to read transformational books, heal old wounds, upgrade your primary skills and plan out your next 20 years with ultra-clear intimacy. 

Reading a book is having a conversation with the author. Pick up the right one, and you put it down - forever changed.

Read The Heroic Books

The greatest movement-makers all have one thing in common: they were masterful communicators. Through their words and ways of showing up, they have been able to persuade their people to follow them to the mountaintop.

And by speaking your truth, even when your voice is trembling and your hands are sweating, you’ll multiply your dignity, credibility and advance beautifully in the resolve you bring to everything you do.

1 Key Element of Becoming an Outstanding Communicator

You are born into genius, but have you resigned yourself to mediocrity?

The instant we drop our excuses is the moment we enjoy freedom from pain, because potential unexpressed and dreams left undone are what cause the regret that powers all suffering.

Potential Unexpressed Turns to Pain

Part of my passionately-held and emotionally-charged personal mission is to share the mindsets, practices and behaviors that those playing at BIW (Best in World) run so you can do your finest work and carve out a life that truly matters.

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

Most people in business are very superficial. Because we live in a world where everything seems easy, everything is so accessible, so the majority of society accepts taking a light-hearted approach in business, with the products they produce, the service they deliver, with their health, with their education, and with their relationships. But the best of the best are very different. They aren't superficial: they're granular.

Shift from Superficiality to Granularity

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.
