Don't Confuse Activity With Productivity

Robin Sharma
About this episode

You can be in the world or you can change it—but you can’t do both.

The secret of mastery (arguably) lives in a single word.

Minimalism.

I’ve been teaching this for two decades. Saying that “minimalism isn’t just a design vibe. It’s a lifestyle.”

Encouraging human beings in fiery pursuit of their private Mount Everests to do less to achieve more.

…To stop chasing complexity and obsess with simplicity.

…To reject maximalism and filling their days with too many activities [and their closets with too many things].

Beethoven and Earhart, Ali and Mandela, Wyeth and Salinger just did one thing (mostly) really really well. And that led to them becoming great.

If you're ready to make 2022 the single happiest, healthiest and most productive year of your life yet with Robin Sharma as your mentor...

He has just released a VERY special new online course based on his #1 global bestseller The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.

This truly remarkable 30-Day Challenge offers you hours of world-class training and takes you well beyond what you learned in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari book that so many people around the world have fallen in love with. [If you haven't read the book you'll still be blown away by this course]

You can find all the details to get one of the limited memberships into the course here.
