I buy more books than I’ll ever read in my lifetime. Why? Because I know that all it takes is one idea read in a single book to transform the way you work – and the way you live. One idea. And so I buy books. Constantly. Passionately. Hungrily. Searching for that One Idea. That will change the way I think/feel/behave. And view the world. And it’s never to late to find that book. And to learn.

The Antidote to Obsolescence

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

Extreme success requires deliberate recovery. Refueling and resting isn’t a waste of time. It’s part of winning. Balance is a necessity of legendary.

Why Deep Rest is Essential to Elite Performance

Leadership [and personal greatness] is less about a title and more about a decision...

...to use this crisis to ascend in mastery, creativity and service to many. [To not, will be to miss the greatest opportunity of your lifetime].

So keep your focus trained on the many opportunities to bulletproof your mastery, grow a business that serves more people and live a life that’s more creative, joy-filled and kind.

To Lead is to Serve

Icons of their fields get that elite performance takes years of deep training. They see themselves as apprentices, learning the skill (often at the feet of a master) step by step, day by day. They commit to their education. They ritualize the discipline. They understand greatness takes time (Darwin had the devotion to study barnacles for 8 years as part of forging his scientific understanding).

The Purpose of Being in Business - Total Craft Mastery [TCM]

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

Too many energy vampires on the planet. We need more uplifters and elevators of the human spirit, people who radiate positivity. Bottom line: the true measure of our lives, at the end, will come down to the influence we’ve had on each person we’ve met. So make it your daily practice, when you meet someone, to start the connection with something supergood. And leave them better than you find them.

The Good News Greeting

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.
