The Daily Mastery Podcast by Robin Sharma

Imagine writing about who you wish to be and what you’re learning from life and the fears you aim to transcend and the blessings that fill you with gratefulness, on a daily basis? You’d get to know your finest self. And then live that presence into the world—each and every day. This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus...

Yes, we all now know that science confirms that gratitude is the antidote to fear. And that one must defend oneself against all the negative information out there, through the regular practice of deliberately recognizing one’s blessings. No matter how small. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps i...

Sages, saints and the great productives of the world have understood that the time before the light of day brings with it a form of magic. We are more open to new ideas, more connected with our natural power and more available to our primitive wisdom. Yes—it’s a messy, noisy and complex age we inhabit. And yet, at 5 AM, you still have the opportunity to savour the luxury of silence, stillness and...

The fears we don’t face become our limits. Bravery speaks to leaning into the places that terrify you. Hugging your monsters and slaying your dragons and exploring your shadows. The real stuff of a gorgeous life. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and...

What I’ve learned is that pain is not the curse that most of us think it is.   No, pain has been my purifier—burning through the layers of dross to make a little more of the gold shine.   Let your hurt reveal your wisdom and your difficulty open the doorway into whatever forms of precious magic lies at your core.   My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original to...

The best influencers (and elite athletes, artists and inventors) are boring. They are all about Mundanity: repeating the same few habits every single day (whether they feel like performing them or not) until these consistent practices incrementally morph into a tsunami of victory. Success lies in a masterful consistency around the fundamentals (please read that thrice). Don’t complicate things. Ju...

Practice is your superpower and while your industry peers are playing with their phones, make sure you’re setting aside at least one hour each day to enrich the one skill that will cause you to be more useful to your customers. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity...

Peak creativity occurs by relaxing into the two main seasons of high-productivity. If you’re serious about becoming a virtuoso, balance periods of being in the world with periods in the wilderness of isolation, contemplation, reflection and renewal. Such times are not a waste. Actually, it’s essential to the incubation of the next-level insights that will cause you to own your game. And for protec...

I’ve never subscribed to the “hustle and grind” philosophy that makes us feel guilty if we’re not working 24/7/365 and though I’ve done my best to inspire my readers and clients to aim for legendary and do their masterwork I’ve also taught that time for rest, regeneration and doing nothing is also profoundly important.   Having said this, work matters. And working hard is wise. Work gives us deep...

To have the weight of the world on your shoulders and the stress of excellent opportunities and the livelihoods of many (or a few) within your responsibility isn’t easy. Yet it truly is a gift. You wouldn’t have this pressure if you didn’t also have the associated talent to handle it.   Victims face tough times and grow smaller. Real leaders and the best among us meet challenge—and rise into their...

As we advance through a lifetime, it’s ever so easy to harden our attitudes and calcify our mindsets. We begin to fall in love with our closely cherished truths and believe that the way we see things is the way things are.   Thinking the way you see the world is the way the world (or business, society or life) actually is is super dangerous. “Why Robin?” you wonder.   …because you’ll stop listenin...

Yes, perfectionism isn’t healthy. Got you on that point. Yet, here’s the reality based on my over 30 years in the trenches with famous CEOs, billionaires, NBA superstars and music icons: the great ones are all obsessive. They cannot bear being mediocre. They cannot live with stagnating at ordinary. They have uncontainable hunger to exploit their potential, bring on mastery and turn their entire fi...

While the majority does long for pure success, real greatness and their place at the table of genius, they refuse to install the beliefs, run the routines, do the work and live the days that would make so much of their readily observable reality. 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 hun...

Develop wonderful friendships. A gorgeous life demands strong and rich connections with other human beings. To be surrounded by good, kind, interesting and cool people makes the ride worth the ride. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. Yo...

Let me gently remind you of a truth that too many good souls are forgetting: distraction is the enemy of mastery.  The giants of history—from Leonardo da Vinci to Mahatma Gandhi to Hedy Lamarr—were not people who dabbled. They were people who focused. Monomaniacally. They carved out sacred spaces of solitude and isolation to produce their masterwork. They honored their craft with the fullness of t...

We have been programmed to play small. To live within the box society has handcrafted for us. To think, be and do like everyone else. Sad. Scary.   This causes heartbreak. We forget all we truly are. We escape into distraction and diversion. We neglect our purpose. We die, while still alive.   But to unfear.   To do the things that scare us and haunt us and taunt us. To hug the monster and slay th...

Each time you allow your phone to interrupt you, you weaken your focus. Each moment you spend scrolling through someone else’s life is a moment stolen from building your own. The cost of distraction is not just time—it’s your dreams, your genius, your legacy. The world doesn’t need more people chasing likes or watching others live. It needs you—fully alive, fully engaged, doing work that matters....

To have the weight of the world on your shoulders and the stress of excellent opportunities and the livelihoods of many (or a few) within your responsibility isn’t easy. Yet it truly is a gift. You wouldn’t have this pressure if you didn’t also have the associated talent to handle it. Victims face tough times and grow smaller. Real leaders and the best among us meet challenge—and rise into their p...

Being authentic means daring to voice your thoughts and beliefs, even when they challenge the status quo.   It’s about recognizing that your perspective is valid and valuable.   When you speak your truth (even if your voice shakes), you not only empower yourself but also inspire others to do the same. Each time you choose honesty over approval from others, you create a cascading effect of authenti...

Bravery is not the absence of fear; it is the willingness to act despite it. You’ve heard that a million times. And so have I. Because it’s the truth.   Every courageous step you take toward authenticity opens new doors and possibilities. Imagine standing at the edge of your comfort zone, heart racing, yet knowing that the most profound growth lies just beyond that threshold. It’s true: all you ha...

Worldly success without peace of mind is fool’s gold, yes? I know many celebrities who you would think have it all and yet, in reality, have nothing. Because they lack serenity. [What a great and gorgeous word: “serenity”]. I’m sure you’ll agree that there’s no point in having lots of things and fame + fortune yet losing the quiet that lives at your core along the way.  This is what my latest book...

I encourage you to measure your success less by how many followers you have, how much money you own and how much power you possess and more by the freedom, joy, great health, love and beauty that fills your days. This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the e...

While owning my power to create my life, I also must say that investing in my knowledge and learning has been the single best investment I’ve ever made. Why? Because…   …as you become wiser you will shorten the success path.  …as you become braver you will turn fear into winning. …as you become stronger you’ll get amazing things done that weaker souls just can’t get done.  …as you become more purp...

It’s so easy to put off fortifying our health and making time for relaxation [so you hack the inflammation that causes disease and physical destruction]. Yet monumental leaders are extremely physically fit because weak health is a massive vulnerability. Imagine living to 100, full of energy and without illness. Marvellous. Or simply being so healthy that you get very good things done, enjoy every...

Work less yet far more intensely. This habit is so very powerful. The best of the best—especially in the creative and athletic fields—generally only work 5 hours a day. Yet, the hours they are work are filled with peak work versus distracted toil. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your posi...
