Go Ghost for a Year?

Robin Sharma
About this episode

Let me gently remind you of a truth that too many good souls are forgetting: distraction is the enemy of mastery.

The giants of history—from Leonardo da Vinci to Mahatma Gandhi to Hedy Lamarr—were not people who dabbled. They were people who focused. Monomaniacally.


They carved out sacred spaces of solitude and isolation to produce their masterwork. They honored their craft with the fullness of their presence.

Each time you allow your phone to interrupt you, you weaken your focus. Each moment you spend scrolling through someone else’s life is a moment stolen from building your own. The cost of distraction is not just time—it’s your dreams, your genius, your legacy.

This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
