51 Ways Ordinary People Reached World-Class

51 Ways Ordinary People Reached World-Class - By Robin Sharma


1. Know what you want. Clarity is power. And vague goals promote vague results.

*

2. Remember that every problem has a solution. Maybe you just can’t see it. Yet.

*

3. In this Age of Dramatic Distraction, the performer who focuses the best wins the most.

*

4. Before someone will help you, you need to help them.

*

5. Become the most passionate person you know. It’ll be contagious.

*

6. Know more about your craft/the work you do than anyone who has ever done the work you do…in the history of the world.

*

7. Join The 5 am Club. Your most valuable hours are 5am-8am. They have the least interruptions.

*

8. Devote yourself to learning something new about your field of mastery every day. Success belongs to the relentless learners. Because as you know more, you can achieve more.

*

9. Remember that when you transform your fitness, you’ll transform your business.

10. Don’t check your mobile when you’re meeting with another person. It’s rude. And rude people don’t reach world-class.

*

11. Every time you do what scares you, you take back the power that you gave to the thing that scared you. And so you become more powerful.

*

12. A problem is only a problem if you make the choice to see it as a problem.

*

13. Stop being a victim. Your business and personal life was made by you. No one else is responsible. To make it better, make better choices. And new decisions.

*

14. You can lead without a title. Don’t wait to get a position to stand for excellence, peak quality and overdelivery on every expectation.

*

15. Find your own style. Be an original. Every superstar differentiated themselves from The Herd. And marched to their own drumbeat.

*

16. Understand that when you play small with your success, you betray your potential. And the birthright you were born under.

*

17. Eat less food and you’ll get more done.

*

18. As you become more successful, stay really really hungry. Nothing fails like success. Because when you’re successful, it’s easy to stop outlearning+outOverDelivering+outthinking and outexecuting everyone around you. (Success is Beautiful. And dangerous).

*

19. If you’re not overprepared, you’re underprepared.

*

20. The only level of great manners to play at is “Exceedingly Polite”. In our world, this alone will make you a standout. And differentiate you in your marketplace.

*

21. Remember that the moment you think you’re a Master, you lose your Mastery. And the minute you think you know everything, you know nothing.

*

22. To double your results, double your level of execution.

*

23. Invest in your personal and pro development. All superstars do.

*

24. Get this year’s best Targets of Opportunity down onto a 1 Page Plan. Then review it every morning while the rest of the world sleeps.

*

25. You don’t get lucky. You create lucky.

*

26. When you push through a difficult project, you don’t get to the other side. You reach The Next Level.

*

27. Smile. And remember to inform your face.

*

28. Spend time in solitude every day. Your best ideas live there.

*

29. Debrief on how you lived out your day every night in a journal. This will not only record your personal history, it will make you uber-clear on what you’re doing right and what needs to be improved.

*

30. If your not being criticized a lot, you’re not doing very much. Ridicule is the price of ambition.

*

31. Develop a monomaniacal focus on just a few things. The secret to productivity is simplicity.

*

32. To get the results very few people have, be strong enough to do what very few people are willing to do.

*

33. Rest. Recover. It’ll make you stronger.

*

34. Buy a smaller TV and build a larger library.

*

35. Remember that the bigger the goal, the stronger a person you must become to achieve that goal. So goal-achieving is a superb practice for character-building.

*

36. Food fuels your body. Learning feeds your mind.

*

37. Don’t ask for respect. Earn it.

*

38. Finish what you start. And always end strong.

*

39. Breathe.

*

40. In business, don’t play to survive. Play to win.
*

41. Protect your good name. It’s your best asset.

*

42. Remember that words have power. Use the language of leadership versus the vocabulary of a victim.

*

43. Give more than you take. The marketplace rewards generosity.

*

44. Know that if it’s not messy, you’re not making progress.

*

45. Be a hero to a kid.

*

46. In business, aim for iconic. Go for legendary. Make history by how awesome you are at what you do.

*

47. Please don’t confuse activity with productivity. Many many people are simply busy being busy.

*

48. Your doubts are liars. Your fears are traitors. Stop buying the goods they are attempting to sell you.

*

49. The best anti-aging remedy in the world is working really hard.

*

50. World-Class performers have no plan B. Failure just isn’t an option.

*

51. You have the power to change the world—one brave act and one person at a time. Please use it.
