Nothing happens until you start. Sounds obvious. Yet it’s practiced in the breach.We inhabit an era with far too much talk and much too little do. Look, I’m a serious evangelist for the necessity of rest, renewal and recovery. Wrote a lot about this in The 5AM Club and The Everyday Hero Manifesto. Elite performance without strategic refuelling leads to an empty well. And sometimes, a chronic illness. Yet that’s not my point here. My point is, instead, this one: fears unfaced become your limits. Or another way to put it is that the discomfort of growth is always less than the heartbreak of regret. Or another way to state it is that the job of a leader is to get things done and the calling of a human is to make their ethical ambitions real. FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube

The root cause of all rare-air productive, financial, personal and global success?...your psychology.If you're not thinking like the dominant star of your industry, your performance will never rise to match that expectation.If you're not thinking you can get your massive dreams done, your behavior will never be sufficient to get giant goals done.If you're not thinking like someone who's the rockstar of their field, financially free, healthy as an athlete and happier than you could ever imagine, then there's no way you'll get there.Why? Because your outcomes always reflect your self-identity [a.k.a. your psychology].Researchers like Sonja Lyubomirsky have done some fascinating work on "the power of the self-fulfilling prophecy". Definitely read her book The How of Happiness this week.Bottom line: the hardcore psychologists confirm that your psychology and expectations for your performance determine your results.You absolutely have to learn to think like the very best do to experience the rewards and lifestyle that the VERY best have.If you’re seeking some strong inspiration to grow your business and self—along with some novel tools to win—go ahead and read (or listen to) my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto.

I enthusiastically encourage you to start the journey—now—of a single habit that will set you up for 2023 becoming your most healthy, productive and joyful year yet. Willpower scientists call this concept “a keystone habit”. The one habit that raises all habits.Maybe yours will be…… committing to exercising for an hour every morning.…or dedicating yourself to studying your craft for an hour each night.…or taking a digital sabbath, free of technology one day a week.…or walking 15,000 steps every day. …or cleaning up your language so there’s zero victimspeak and total leader talk. …or having a family meal without phones three times a week. I’m not sure what your “one best habit” will be yet please do remember the idea I’ve been teaching for over 25 years: a 1% improvement every day leads to a 30% improvement within a month and a 365% improvement in a year.Yes: small daily seemingly insignificant improvements when done consistently over time lead to stunning results.If you’re seeking some strong inspiration to grow your business and self—along with some novel tools to win—go ahead and read (or listen to) my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto.

The way most people work is from an ancient age. The dominant chant of the productive class these days is “hustle and grind”......The suggestion is that if you’re not working all the time you will never win. I’ve found that elite productivity comes via a cycling of intense periods of work balanced with profound periods of rest (this includes active rest; I explain all of this in my new book The Everyday Hero Manifesto which you can now order here.)Having said this, work matters. And working hard is wise.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube

Just because you failed to find victory around a new habit yesterday doesn’t mean you can’t do it today. You’re one day more experienced! I’m not sure what your “one best habit” will be yet please do remember the idea I’ve been teaching for over 25 years: a 1% improvement every day leads to a 30% improvement within a month and a 365% improvement in a year.Just do your best, each and every day. And rather than trying to transform your life too quickly and setting yourself up to fail, grow in increments—understanding that daily micro-goals that get done eventually turn into deep lifetime habits.If you’re seeking some strong inspiration to grow your business and self—along with some novel tools to win—go ahead and read (or listen to) my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto.

As humans, we often feel weak and forget all our strength.As things fall apart—for the brave few who wish to turn trouble into triumph—there are gorgeous opportunities.

The greatest bleed the longest. What I mean by this is that it is actually within the fires of deep difficulty that the dross that covers the gold is burned off. Life loves you so much that it sends you difficulties to make you strong. 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.
