The Daily Mastery Podcast by Robin Sharma

Here’s a brain tattoo for you to consider: an addiction to distraction will be the death of your creative production.Legendary producers + history-makers all understand that you can dominate your domain by producing masterpieces or be playing with your phone all day long, but you don't get to do both.

As I wrote about in The 5AM Club, everyone alive does the best that they can based on where they're at in terms of their awareness and their understanding of life. And once you realize that, you won't be upset with them - you can begin to forgive them.So resolve to forgive those who have hurt you [they made you stronger and more noble]. And commit to letting go of what no longer serves you [it got you to here]. Remember that the past was perfect preparation for you to become who you now are and to grow the extraordinary life that you now face the opportunity to create.

There are two types of power: fake power and true power. The second type of power comes from being honourable to your gifts, talents and values. The more out of integrity you are from who you truly are, the less influence and impact you will have in the world.

Popular culture is selling us on the virtues of easy thinking and instant gratification lifestyles. But you know there's zero gain there. The great masters all think long-term, develop rigorous patience to train daily on their skillset and move toward their most difficult projects, for there is where legendary lives......Those who will win + shine + own the game also love ideas and information that push their limits. They ache to expand. They devote to ascension. They hunger for the heroic. They want to spend the rest of their lives on pursuits that are meaningful. And of service to others. While they exploit their potential on the road to mastery.

We live in a world seduced by easy. We want to look great and be super fit but we don’t want to have to exercise to get there. We want to be uber-successful in our careers but we wonder if there’s a way to reach world-class without having to work hard and be disciplined (every great executive is disciplined – as is every great company). We dream of living fearless, joy-filled lives but we all too often avoid doing the very best practices (like getting up early, taking risks, setting-goals and reading) that are certain to deliver us to our ideals. Nothing comes for free. The best things in life require sacrifice and devotion. Each of us – to get to our own unique forms of personal and professional greatness – must pay the price. And the more we pay, the more we’ll receive.Let’s not be seduced into believing that the best things in life come without effort. Give your best, and the best will come to you. Guaranteed.

Without a mighty mission to give your days over to, high value targets that electrify your enthusiasm and meaningful pursuits that fuel your joy, you’ll grow bored. And apathetic.Once you know that reason that’s bigger than yourself, the game totally changes……impact becomes more important than income. Delivering value starts to trump vanity. And every fiber of your being begins to fill with inspiration born of rare-air contribution.

It's not only how you begin the race - it's how you finish. I call this concept Last Mile Excellence. What makes a true champion in business and in life is the strength at which you end your event (whether that event is today or a client meeting or a key project that you've been working months to deliver on). Finish brilliantly!

In this episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma explains why all arrogance is bad; yet unearned arrogance is absolutely the worst. And remember - arrogance repels. Humility inspires.

Why measure your success by the suggestions of society when you can become a success on your own terms?Measure your success by the reputation you build, the mastery of your craft, and the value you create.

Consistency is the mother of mastery and persistency is how you get to legendary.

You’ll never rise any higher than your self-identity. And you’ll never move above your personal story. Think you’re meant to be average and your performance will match that belief. Always.But the truth is that you are the cause and creator of your current life. And the day you decide to master YOURSELF, you begin to master your world.

Too many potential genius-grade producers use “likes” as an escape. To create a feeling that they are progressing because they are actually bored. And to medicate the sorrow of human potential unexpressed. Use technology as a lever to scale your business and drive your performance. Never as a drug.

In today's episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma shares a personal story about an unexpected hero - his fifth grade teacher, Cora Greenaway.

Producers with drained batteries are highly unproductive. Regeneration cycles are not a luxury—they are a necessity [for anyone committed to domain dominance, dramatic usefulness and becoming a giant of creativity].

In today's episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma shares an exercise that you can try today that will help you x25 your leadership, productivity and happiness.

Leadership is not about your title. It's about your behavior. And a devotion to your craft. 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.

Today's a great day to release any forms of victimhood and rise to leadership. Remember the brain tattoo Robin Sharma has been sharing for years: small daily seemingly insignificant improvements done consistently over time lead to stunning results.

In this episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma explains how the secret to genius is not genetics - but daily practice married with relentless perseverance.

Watch someone stuck in a victim mentality and a life of scarcity and you’ll see they waste their time—always playing with their digital devices because they lack a heroic ambition that will fuel their passion.⁣

Your lifestyle is rewarded via your helpfulness. The real question to ask yourself is not what can I get, but who may I serve? And if you think like that as a businessperson and a human being, you'll win.

Calibrating the four inner dimensions of Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, and Soulset to world-class is the very DNA of greatness when it comes to creativity, productivity, prosperity and impact. And small daily micro-wins when done continually over time, lead to staggering results.

In this high-content Instagram Live, Robin Sharma walks you through how to battleproof your positivity and productivity [so you actually grow your business and scale your impact on the world] during these messy times.

Understand that the real reason for your life is to use what happens as fuel for your growth. Life is not random. So much of what happens to us arrives in our lives as perfect training to make us into the genuine heroes we’re meant to be.

In this episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, Robin Sharma explains the “granularity versus superficiality” distinction that he's been teaching to his private mentoring clients for years.

Potent insight for today: all genius has a dark side. Study any revered genius or virtuoso of history and here’s what you’ll find: they were complicated people. For example, being massively creative comes with the dark side of having so many ideas you dissolve your focus. And the blessing of wanting to be amazing at your craft comes with the dark side of arrogance—that must be managed. The things that make you extraordinary are the very things that can drive the people around you crazy, right? Honor the gift and manage the dark side.
