Resist the Absolute Sabotaging Seduction of “Putting Off”
One of the most human of weaknesses we all need to wage war with is the absolute sabotaging seduction of “putting off”. The smallest of actions is always x100 better than the noblest of intentions. Today, no matter what it is, do something to raise your standards, escalate your talents and magnify your native heroism. Please... ...because the price of reaching for higher is always far less than the heartbreaking cost of profound regret. I’ve created a powerful completely new...

No Idea Works for Someone Unwilling to Do the Work
Nothing works for someone who does no work. Sorry to say this but there are just too many people on the planet who want the rewards of world-class without lifting a pinky to do what world-class requires. Leadership and personal greatness absolutely requires us to apply APR: Absolute Personal Responsibility. We must set good habits and create clear plans and do the workouts (at 5AM please!) and deliver for clients. We need to read the books and study the craft and care for our lo...

The Best Influencers, Elite Athletes, Artists and Inventors Are All About Mundanity
The best influencers (and elite athletes, artists and inventors) are boring. They are all about Mundanity: repeating the same few habits every single day (whether they feel like performing them or not) until these consistent practices incrementally morph into a tsunami of victory. Success lies in a masterful consistency around the fundamentals (please read that thrice). Don’t complicate things. Just repeat a few routines staggeringly well. I recall learning from the excellent documentary Tyso...

Beneath Your Irritations Is the Opportunity for Growth
As human beings, it’s ever so easy to sit on the summit of high-judgement and self-righteousness on seeing another human being doing something we consider wrong. Yet, as we spend more time in meditation, reflection and awareness building, we often and generally realize we do the same thing. Fascinating, yes? Maybe it looks slightly different than the thing that we do yet the main idea here is that we too are regularly guilty of the very acts we get so troubled by. When someone else does...

Define Success By Your Growth and Curiosity
Science confirms that curiosity keeps the brain young, the heart open, and the spirit vibrant. The moment we stop learning, we begin to fade. Read widely, keep notebooks, travel often, challenge your basic beliefs and ask questions like a child again. The greatest leaders I know are also the most curious students. And we visit our aliveness when we learn and grow. I’ve created a powerful completely new online program called The Amazing Day Blueprint. It’s a proven system to help yo...

Use Discipline As a Tool to Build Self-Respect
I do believe that rest and recovery and regeneration are deeply essential. I’ve written a lot about this “cycling” in my book The Everyday Hero Manifesto if you’d like to go deeper. Yet, to lead a soaring life one must also be productive. Getting big and meaningful projects done gives you the feeling of satisfaction. And that you’re leveraging your life well.
