Legendary Leaders Are Professional Reste...

Robin Sharma
About this episode

The way most people work is from an ancient age.

The idea that working longer and harder makes you more productive and better is outdated.

It comes from the era when most workers toiled on a factory line. And by putting in more hours they would create more products.

For creative professionals versus manual labourers, you get rewarded—not by the length of time you put in but by the degree of mastery that you put out.

As a matter of fact, for those in industries that must deliver world-class artistry, working more often produces less.

Because we don’t get the time to contemplate and study and allow beautiful new ideas to incubate.

It’s the rare breed of modern worker who gets this truth. And who makes the time to perform super intensely when they create and then recover super deeply when they are off.

Legendary producers are professional resters, is part of what I’m suggesting to you.
