The Highest Impact Leaders Are All Contr...

Robin Sharma
About this episode

The highest impact leaders all have one trait in common: they are extreme contrarians. They were seen by the majority as radicals, misfits and eccentrics. They saw what most see and thought what few think. They rejected the mass hypnosis and schooled brainwashing of society. That says that geniuses are cut from a different cloth, that your ethical ambitions should be suppressed and that your life needs to be reasonable.

Makes me think of the words of George Bernard Shaw who wrote: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in adapting the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

If you’d like me to mentor you on how the world’s most successful people master their productivity so you make 2023 your finest year yet, read this. I’d be happy to help you rise exponentially.
