Misunderstood is the Price Ambition Pays to Become Legendary

I’ve never subscribed to the “hustle and grind” philosophy that makes us feel guilty if we’re not working 24/7/365 and though I’ve done my best to inspire my readers and clients to aim for legendary and do their masterwork I’ve also taught that time for rest, regeneration and doing nothing is also profoundly important. Having said this, work matters. And working hard is wise. Work gives us deep meaning (if we make the time to look for it), frees us from boredom and keeps us younger. Yo...

To have the weight of the world on your shoulders and the stress of excellent opportunities and the livelihoods of many (or a few) within your responsibility isn’t easy. Yet it truly is a gift. You wouldn’t have this pressure if you didn’t also have the associated talent to handle it. Victims face tough times and grow smaller. Real leaders and the best among us meet challenge—and rise into their primal bigness. Yes, they feel scared or insecure or confused. Yet, they continue, u...

As we advance through a lifetime, it’s ever so easy to harden our attitudes and calcify our mindsets. We begin to fall in love with our closely cherished truths and believe that the way we see things is the way things are. Thinking the way you see the world is the way the world (or business, society or life) actually is is super dangerous. “Why Robin?” you wonder. …because you’ll stop listening to new ideas. …because you’ll lose your gift of humility. …because you’ll be defendin...

Yes, perfectionism isn’t healthy. Got you on that point. Yet, here’s the reality based on my over 30 years in the trenches with famous CEOs, billionaires, NBA superstars and music icons: the great ones are all obsessive. They cannot bear being mediocre. They cannot live with stagnating at ordinary. They have uncontainable hunger to exploit their potential, bring on mastery and turn their entire field on its head. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original...

While the majority does long for pure success, real greatness and their place at the table of genius, they refuse to install the beliefs, run the routines, do the work and live the days that would make so much of their readily observable reality. Those who will win + shine + own the game also love ideas and information that push their limits. They ache to expand. They devote to ascension. They hunger for the heroic. They want to spend the rest of their lives on pursuits that are meaningful. ...

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. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and origi...

We have been programmed to play small. To live within the box society has handcrafted for us. To think, be and do like everyone else. Sad. Scary. This causes heartbreak. We forget all we truly are. We escape into distraction and diversion. We neglect our purpose. We die, while still alive. But to unfear. To do the things that scare us and haunt us and taunt us. To hug the monster and slay the dragon. To me, this is what true success and outright greatness is all abou...
