About this episode

How To Turn Your Pain into Success!

 

“If we would only do our own part and reclaim that inner heroism, then we wouldn't have to wait for these heroes that we're all waiting for, to lead us to better days.” -Robin Sharma

 

I am sure you will today's guest as he is an icon in the personal development world. You certainly may have read heard of his books or maybe you have come across his inspirational content online.  But, today I am trying to take our conversation down a new path and really get deep into the mind of Robin Sharma.

 

Robin Sharma is one of the top leadership experts in the world and has written books that have sold over 15,000,000 copies. His clients include rock stars, royalty, billionaires, celebrity CEOs, and companies such as Starbucks, Nike, GE, The Coca-Cola Company, NASA and Microsoft.

 

All the things he will be sharing with us will hit you differently and will surely blow your mind!

Interesting topics we talked about:

 

  • Why people should cultivate a morning routine and how it can not only help them, but transform their life

 

  • Robin’s view on pain and how to move through it in a way that can help people become a better version of themselves

 

  • Robin’s view on mindset and why it's just as important to work on the other three interior empires:
    • Heartset
    • Healthset
    • Soulset

 

  • The 20/20/20 formula
    • Move
    • Reflect
    • Grow

 

  • How can somebody actually achieve greatness if they really want to?

 

  • How to rewire the brain program and change the bad habits or the way they talk to themselves that have been robbing them from joy and peace in their life

 

  • The best way to pivot from a bad day

 

  • The advantage of limiting the use of phone for social media

 

  • The cognitive bandwidth

Takeaways:

 

Rising at 5am is the period of greatest quietude in this age of dramatic distraction.

 

Internal mastery or personal mastery precedes every other type of mastery.

 

Your beliefs drive your behavior.

 

Genius is less about genetics and more about your daily habits.

 

If you want to change your bad habits, take note of the following:

 

  • Ask yourself, “What does your terroir look like?”

 

  • Terroir is what makes a great wine. Robin talked about it and used this word in a very meaningful way. Listen to this episode to know what this means!

 

 

  • Remove the joy stealers from your life.

 

  • 1% wins. Small, daily, seemingly insignificant improvements, when done consistently over time, lead to stunning results.

 

  • Meditation is powerful.

 

  • Under every excuse lives a fear. And if you recite your excuses long enough, you actually believe they are true.

 

  • Remember that even in this time of intense suffering during the pandemic, there is so much to be grateful for.

 

It's important to develop your own scoreboard for success.

 

It’s important to develop your own accounting system for winning.

 

Your story is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

Changing your story about who you are and what do you want to stand for in the world is the beginning of transforming your performance.
