The Daily Mastery Podcast by Robin Sharma

Ultra-producers and genuine virtuosos focus on steady and incremental accomplishments acutely focused in the direction of their most important projects. They get that success happens through evolution – not by revolution. And that small daily micro-wins when done continually over time lead to staggering results.

Raw tactics for heavyweights who are serious about using the crisis to rise. Sorry—if you’re looking for sugary motivation this is NOT for you.

Reading a book is having a conversation with the author. And as you know, we are transformed by our conversations. Install a ritual of reading a book by one of the great women and men of the world for 60 minutes a day. Every day. Study how they set up their days, the beliefs on which they conducted their lives, the way in which they translated adversity into victory and how they continued to pursue their mission when they were exhausted, dispirited and attacked. The more time y...

Stop using victimspeak. Our words have dazzling power to shape our results. And to energize ourselves. Excuses, gossip and criticism diminish your native talents. And degrade your original magic. Deploy words of hope into the world and watch your creativity rise.

In this episode, Robin Sharma shares a profound quote to help you reclaim your primal genius, native artistry and a joy that exceeds anything society can provide to you.

And then, after they’ve expressed their mastery in a hot burst of flaming audacity, they go dark. Ghost. Silent.⁣⁣And recover. And read. And exercise. And daydream. And regenerate.⁣⁣This seasonal or cyclical way of running a day and then a week and the...

Perfectionism isn’t healthy. Yet, here’s the reality based on my nearly 25 years in the trenches with the titans of industry, world-changers, NBA superstars and music icons: the great ones are all obsessive. They cannot bear being mediocre. They cannot live stagnating at ordinary. They have uncontainable hunger to exploit their potential, bring on mastery and turn their entire field on its head.

As a follow-up to yesterday's episode... the majority is caught up in the “relentless release of stuff.”Most producers rush to deliver many materials rather than investing the time and painstaking care to handcraft a single masterpiece that stands the test of time.I go into great depth on this pivotal subject in The 5AM Club yet for now please consider this: it’s wiser to make one Fifth Symphony versus many pieces of mediocrity [that never establish domain dominance].

In a marketplace suffering from what I call in my presentations The Collective DeProfessionalization of Business and in a society struggling with The Mass Mediocritization of Humanity, we absolutely must behold the fiery passion Steve Jobs has for perfection. One former teammate said that part of his genius was his ability to spot defects instantly. I recently heard that he told his design team everything they produced needed to be “Museum of Modern Art-level quality”. His consumer good...
