When people feel appreciated, they shine.

Although I see a positive shift 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 recorded this podcast episode 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.

How To Stop Being Used

There can be no success without failure. It's just part of the process. The companies and people who have reached the heights of success are the same ones who have failed the most. 

You need to fail to win. And the faster you fail, the more quickly you’ll learn precisely what you need to do to win.  So Fail Fast. Outfail the competition. Outfail the person you once were.

Failure is Fuel for Success [If You Choose So]

In this world where so few of us are comfortable being alone, being in the wilderness, in this world where almost everywhere you go there’s technology and there’s noise and there’s complexity. Almost everywhere you go people want to talk, talk, talk, talk. Just imagine what your life would be like as a creative person, as a leader, as a productive person, as a producer, as a human being if you installed a weekly ritual of going for a walk in the woods. To me, it’s like a tonic from toxicity.

Get into Nature [A Tonic from Toxicity]

Developing the skill of raising children who are authentic, loving, creative, ethical and excellent not only makes your future exponentially happier, you'll also make the world vastly better [as it's the next generation that will run the planet]. 

In this episode, I'll walk you through what recent research confirms is the #1 family ritual to guarantee the academic and life success of your children.

The #1 Ritual to Grow Great Kids

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.

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.
