If you’re not up early, you’re sleeping in too late
Epic performance has more to do with saying no than saying yes
Commit to becoming the heavy weight champion of your craft
Get fit so you can serve more people
Impact is a better measure of success than income
A failure only becomes a failure if you let it become a failure
Your job is to see the greatness in people who have yet to own the greatness within themselves
Don’t wait to be inspired to start your dream. Start your dream to grow inspired
What the victim calls luck, the hero calls relentless
Be polite. Be on time. Be optimistic
Make each fresh day of this new year a little better than yesterday. Daily optimisations will soon lead to exponential improvements
Make time to rest. Sleep is a secret weapon of true A-Players
To double your income, triple your investment in your professional education and personal development
*TRUST YOUR INSTINCT MORE THAN WHAT SOCIETY SAYS IS REASONABLE AND POSSIBLE
Go directly to where your fear lives because on the other side of that is where your power lies

Never be too busy to be kind
Remember that life is too short to play small with your potential this year
Robin Sharma - 53 Greatest lessons 2018 has taught me
Success has less to do with hard work and more to do with massive focus on your few best opportunities
Why resist change when it’s the main source of your growth?
The more you invest in growing and developing your mindset and way of seeing the world, the more everything you touch transforms in a breathtakingly positive way
Pursuing perfection really does matter (in a world highly accepting of mediocrity)
*SPEND FULL DAYS WITH ZERO TECHNOLOGY TO REFUEL OR DO IMPORTANT WORK IS A GAME CHANGER
Doing something nice for at least one stranger a day gives them a gift and an even larger one to yourself
Adore your parents. You’ll miss them when they’re gone
The smartest thing you can do to grow a great company is to first sweat getting only A-Players onto your team then sweat training and developing them so they play their A-Game
Most TV is toxic
Have the discipline to clean out all the energy draining people in your life. You really do rise or fall to the level of your associations
Doing use dreams we have never done can be frightening. Yet when we push to the edges of our limits, our limits expand
If you don’t make the time for yourself to get inspired, no-one around you will ever be inspired
Your diet affects your mood. Eat like a SUPERSTAR
Talk less. Do more
Integrity is more valuable than income
Model Mandela and you’ll find at the end of your life, you lived an awesome one
Learn to love yourself. It’s the great rule for being loving with other people
When your dominant business focus is to deliver outrageous amounts of value to your customers every time they do business with you, they become fanatical followers who tell the world about what you do
Money invested in personal development and professional growth generally has a x30 plus return on investment (Robin went to more high level seminars and programmes than ever before and the ROI made them all free)
Real leaders have the guts to have hard conversations
Your environment (your home, your office, the magazines you read, etc) dramatically affects your levels of achievement
The quality of your practice affects the Caliber of your performance
Reviewing your Big 5 annual goals every morning and working on your plan every day is an exceptionally powerful way to breed unbeatable focus and drive
Measure your success via your influence and impact versus only by your income and net worth
To become successful, first learn how to be happy. Too many think that the route to happiness is to get successful. Untrue
Getting ultra fit lifts every other area of your life
Self belief is so incredibly important. Because if you don’t believe you can achieve a vision/goal, then you won’t even start to do the work needed to achieve that vision/goal
Our biggest enemy is our own self doubt. We really can achieve extraordinary things in our lives. But we sabotage our greatness because of our fear
Drink more water
Watch the documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”
Join a mastermind group. It’s just remarkable what being in a room full of people who are smarter than yourself does for performance
Related to the above, remember what Dennis Kimbro once said: “If you’re the smartest one of your friends, you need new friends”
Dopamine is the elite performers best friends. This neurotransmitter is the key to motivation and it is released when we push our envelope and do things that are difficult
You rarely go wrong when you trust yourself
*Writing things down what you learn works so much better than typing things down on a computer
If you try and do it all yourself, you get very little done. The most productive people set the dream and then hand it over swiftly to a project manager to execute with precision
Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit (unles it really is time to quit)
Smile. It truly makes a difference to the people around you
Just because excellent manners are not so common doesn’t mean that excellent manners are not incredibly important
Always remember that there’s food on your table thanks to the customers you are privileged to serve
It’s so much better to fail trying than to not even get into the game
Music just makes life a whole lot better
You can change the world or you can worry about fitting in, but you just can’t do both
All change is hard at first, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end
The real key to getting rest things done is to stop doing so many good things
Small little details done excellently and consistently stack up into something the world sees as mastery
Spend time in nature to renew and refuel
Less entertainment, more education
Gratitude is the antidote to misery
We become happier not by accumulating more things but by creating richer experiences
Your self identity is what really determines your income, influence, impact and lifestyle. Retrain that and your bigness comes out to play
The more you serve, the more joyful you’ll become
Life’s short. Have fun!!
