The Daily Mastery Podcast by Robin Sharma

Take care of the relationship and the money takes care of itself. Too many in business are focused on grabbing cash versus serving people. Yet when your dominant focus is on building relationships with your team, suppliers and customers (who put food on your family table), economic rewards are the byproduct. Get great at building a rich social network—and being of use to as many human beings as po...

Do the difficult things that you don’t feel like doing yet you know will make you stronger, faster, bigger (of glory) and better. So—just maybe—the most powerful word in the word is one of the simplest: YES. Say yes to the scary new project that will push you to grow. Say yes to the trip you’ve been postponing for years. Say yes to giving the speech that frightens you terrifically and the new frie...

You’ve been born into so much promise and talent yet our gifts and genius become shackled by fear. Doubt. And disbelief.  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. One thing people who change the world all have in common is a mighty mission. Whether it’s a charity that helps the hungry or an ent...

Do not allow even one day to go by without pushing yourself to make a micro-win. This could be on growing your personal mastery or in your fitness or within your capacity to love or in the building of your business or around your influence on other human beings.  Noting your micro-wins in your notebook is a splendid way to battleproof your hope and bulletproof your inspiration. So you stay on cour...

Suffering has always provided soil for awesome creativity, next-level productivity and innovation. In the quiet times of my own life’s largest heartbreaks, I retreated from the world [like a wounded animal retreats to the woods for healing]. And I remained in the wilderness—befriending the pain and allowing it to purify me as much as possible. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full o...

I truly believe that kindness wins. ...I viscerally know that the humblest is the greatest. ...I have personally experienced that the most compassionate person in every room is the truest leader. 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 end that it was th...

Members of the majority stop moving ahead on their ethical ambitions as soon as someone calls their dream unreasonable and impossible. Great entrepreneurs turn criticism into energy, roadblocks into highways and understand that someone’s opinion is just an opinion. They know that all visionaries are initially ridiculed before they are revered. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full o...

All of us have a luminous Call on our lives—some mighty mission that our destiny demands that we experience. ...To fail to do so is to imprison the glorious fire within us. ...And to generate a well of pain at our core. …I’d like to offer you this question that I encourage you to begin reflecting on to make your rise, starting today: “What are my Big 5?” In other words, what are the top five prior...

The things you schedule are the things that get done. And without a clear plan for each week, you’re certain to be reactive instead of peaceful, productive and strategic. So, early every Sunday morning set a discipline to build out your ideal week ahead. Add your workout blocks, your family meals and your massage periods. Write in your creative segments and record your times for team meetings. Get...

At a time when the majority are suffering from Broken Focus Syndrome, the empire-makers have developed the magnificent ability to concentrate almost completely on the near-flawless execution of the few projects that will make their ethical ambitions real. When they work, they do real work versus fake work and understand the violence of being busy being busy. And wasting hours of their finest days...

One thing people who change the world all have in common is a mighty mission. Whether it’s a charity that helps the hungry or an entrepreneurial startup or a piece of art that will inspire many, change-makers have a personal Mount Everest that electrifies their focus, passion and dedication.

Hard work are not bad words. For years I’ve been an encourager of rest, recovery and refuelling as a means to sustain top performance, increase creativity and forge the longevity that will lead you to legendary. Having said this, taking your work—when you work—super seriously is mission essential for a life of joy, confidence and grace. Work richly and with dignity, giving more than you receive an...

Each day you receive a gift: the chance to show kindness to others. To neglect this present is to misuse your days. This year, become the most generous person you know and watch your life shift vastly. Buy the kitchen staff an excellent bottle of wine after your next great meal. Invite the taxi driver you have a brilliant conversation with in a foreign city out to coffee. Help people on busy stree...

Messy periods reveal how strong you’ve made yourself (through your routines and daily practices). They also pinpoint all the internal work still left to do.  Learning how to do the healing work required to unfreeze your repressed emotions and process through the old pain that has cemented your ancient wounds will free you. Unlocking and displacing past trauma isn’t weak. Nope it’s only the game of...

Even if it looks bad. 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, wellnes...

Retreat from work often to regenerate your energy, creativity and spiritual powers. This seasonal or cyclical way of running a day and then a week and then a month and then your years is unpopular. And counterintuitive, given the way we’ve been socially programmed to think about productivity. Yet if you really want to express your genius, lead your field and stay in your sport for the fullness of...

No thing and no one can truly transform the way you think, feel, behave and live out the rest of your days but you.   And the more you hope for a magical cure to optimize your days, the more talented you’ll become at giving away your power to elements outside of you. Which only breeds victimhood, if you get my drift. As you produce more success, think even more like a beginner. Winning makes most...

Legendary leaders and movement makers of the past have spellbound their followers by deploying the language of hope. And employing the vocabulary of possibility.  And yet in our current culture, too many potentially great people are super sloppy with the words they use. Cleaning out the victimspeak and installing leadertalk will not only upgrade your positivity and your energy, you’ll also notice...

Accidents, illness, loss and tragedy is part of life. So don’t put off what matters most, like so many good souls do.

My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will c...

Monumental leaders are brilliant at hiring top producers and this brilliance was born through the failed hiring of terrible producers. They are constantly mentoring their people and championing the vision and values so that their teams constantly live the mission and exemplify the values. My latest book “ The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely cer...

To fuel your momentum and protect your positive energy, it’s mission-essential to constantly be celebrating your progress. Before you power down, pull out your journal and note 3 tiny victories that you enjoyed in the day that’s ending.  Eminent positive psychologist Martin Seligman’s research has shown this simple practice raises happiness significantly. And remember that celebrating your progres...

Allowing even one toxic person into your life can dramatically reduce the quality of your life. So strip the complainers, excuse-makers and naysayers from your life today! It’ll revolutionize your mindset, performance, happiness and impact. If these people are family members, then love them from afar. Or rather than associating with them daily do it weekly or monthly or quarterly. What’s good for...

We were all artists before the world taught us to be adults. Never lose the sparkle in your eyes and your sense of wonder about the things most people take for granted. But… …you can’t get there by following the crowd and seeking likes, playing with your “smart” phone and being a cyber zombie coasting through life chasing trivial things.  No. You must live YOUR life. Break free of mental limits an...
