Disruptors
What's the Most Opulent Material Item?
Rob Greene says Bono and Paula Koelow would make great interview subjects. What's your net worth? I'm not going to answer a personal question like that. Most opulent material item you've ever bought? A first edition of "Gloria Borges" The book was pretty opulent for me.
Rob is joined by bestselling Canadian author Robin Sharma most famous for his books ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and The 5 am Club’ Together they discuss and share publishing advice, Spiritual advice and how and why personal growth is essential to success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It is essential that we enjoy the world but not be of the world, a lot of people are making a lot of money but losing their soul in the process and that is a very empty victory.
- The publishing environment has changed a lot, but by self-publishing a book you can get it to market very quickly and with all of the technology available you can create a self-published book that looks just as good as a professionally published version, and the process is a lot quicker.
- Fear is a human emotion just like guilt. All entrepreneurs face fear, and we all face guilt, anger, and shame. We all face fear but fear lives in the place where your growth lies. What the best leaders do is they visit the places that terrify them.
- There’s too much greed, too much unkindness, too much selfishness, too much entitlement, too much addiction to distraction. You have to be practical as an entrepreneur.
- Being disruptive is seeing what everybody else is doing and then getting to a place where you can develop the fearlessness to test your own voice. If you look at the great masters, these are all people that said here’s what everyone else is doing but I don’t think that’s right. The real question is, do we follow our relative urges to please or do we follow them because that’s the most authentic thing we can do to celebrate our primal genius. The journey of an entrepreneur is not an easy one, it’s the journey of growth you need to go right into your fears, feel it and experience the fear.
BEST MOMENTS
“We live in a world where there is a lot of sheep vs people. In the age of social media there have become too many people called cyber zombies, they are not thinking for themselves”
“Great entrepreneurs are continuers, they face the rock-throwing of the jealous critics they face self-doubt, they face being misunderstood, they face frustration and they continue because their heroic mission is larger than the chattering voices of their fears and that is just a reality”
“They ridicule every great visionary before they revere them”
“If you can live your life in a way that even if no one understands s you, you do what’s right for you, then amazing things happen”
