Robin Sharma recently wrote a very fascinating Blog that I feel needs to be shared further.

I would like to quote from it and recommend that you visit Robins' site on www.robinsharma.com and also read some of his books. They are quite remarkable.


What Robin said was this:


"How did we get to be a world built around a sense of entitlement? So many of us want a great career and a gorgeous life but we're not willing to unleash the creativity/self-discipline and self-sacrifice to get there. I deeply believe that you can have so much of what you dream of having. The question isn't can you get there but are you willing to do what you need to do to arrive that your mountaintop?

Makes me think of an elite athlete, say Michael Jordan. He'd be up at dawn doing his drills and training his body/mind/character to get to remarkable. It's expected that an athlete who wants to win needs to get up early, train, eat superbly and condition their mind.

But when it comes to businesspeople, getting up early and devoting ourselves to self-improvement and doing our "drills" doesn't seem as important. I fiercely believe it is. Success doesn't just show up via luck. It's created. By hard work.

There can be no great results without great commitment. I've had the opportunity to work as the private coach to billionaires and top CEOs and wildly successful entrepreneurs. Not one of them was cut from a different cloth than you. Not one of them. They just chose to do different things."

It is a fascinating insight and one that is both wise and true.

Thanks Robin!!
