ROBIN SHARMA PMA JUNE 11-12, 2016 RITZ-CARLTON TORONTO – NFIJAN NOTES

Day 1 – Saturday June 11, 2016

a mindset without a heart set is a hollow

victory

dig deep

why would you want an old person in

your body

your craft is your shot at immortality

no idea works unless you do the

work

in a world of scarcity, we

play at generosity

your peer group is your

greater predictor of

performance

influencing 1,000's of people

their friends

your friends

whatever you improve,

you influence 3 circles, layers

deep

Connections, associations, social circles – need to elevate game



We get in life what we settle for.

LME Last Mile Excellence

Awareness is DNA of transformation

What does the fish know of the water in which it swims?

Warrior Brain - designed to keep you at homeostasis - about survival - keep blood pressure in certain way - keep you part of tribe, keep safe & small

Mastery Brain - higher nature, evolutionary brain, neocortex

Go through life and

make people happy

– sprinkle stardust

on people!

Greatest gift to

give your

productivity –

be present

Pay attention to the things that are making

you sleepy -> phenomenon of discounting

(safe harbour of known) ‘subconscious

mind’ – survival

mechanism keeps

you safe



Are you walking through life asleep? Not knowing your impact to income, life,

heroism?

FOCUS minimalism 4 things

Crazy is the price

legendary pays to rise

to world-class.

Neurons that fire

together wire

together

Neurogenesis > your brain can grow if

you do the right things:

- Learning

- Investing in interior growth

- Becoming a better “me”



If you want to grow business, grow yourself.

I would rather have confidence than brilliance.

I will serve humanity.

How may I serve the most people?

Great need on planet for heroes,

leaders.

Be a Titan in industry, be iconic in

your craft.

Work on mind + heart

repression + supression are

destroying your production

potential unexpressed turns to pain



o

education is inoculation against disruption

work 3 world class hours/day

Solitude

Go

turn offpersonal

sanctuary

2x/3x mindset

double impact

triple investment in you

1. personal mastery

2. professional craft

HUMANITARIAN

Victim loves entertainment

Leader loves education

In world, mass de-

professionalism of

business

“trance of technology”

hypnosis, addiction

Unbelievable

medication

for people

who are

bored



10,000 hours

genius is about

deliberate practice

environments "creative

hubs"

routines

rituals

focus

social network

most people - you can tell their beliefs by their words

flytime = showtime (i.e. use time in flight wisely)

your daily behaviours always reflect your deepest beliefs

we are always congruent with our self-perception

If you recite your excuses long

enough, you will believe them to be

true…

Clients shift from clients

to a global movement of

fanatical followers



book trainer at 5am

punch above your weight class

play with people above your pay grade

be in rooms with people exponentially above your craft

In life…

who did you become?

who did you help?

exterior empires are a reflection of

interior empires

The food you eat affects your moods -

> eat less food, get more done.

Some of the best

ideas happen when you’re walking…

Forced Optimization Strategy

If you populate your life with victims, you will

subconsciously pick up their fears.

To lead is

to serve

The world needs

more encouragers



every visionary was ridiculed before

they were revered

do work that fuels my joy - in cool places + spaces

listen to the instinct deep within your

heart

got brain in heart + gut

betray ourselves when we don't trust ourselves

world class sees job as mission - icon

sees job as obsession

you have a dream in your heart and

the world deserves to see that dream

stick to your knitting

they tried to bury us - they didn't know we were

seeds

life is unbelievably intelligent

always remember you're human

always be honest, excellent, kind



The 8 Noble Truths of World Class

•be authentic and transparent

•live life on your own terms

1. Run your own race

•work on mindset, heart set, global mindset, internal programming

•physical life - read Spark (John Rady) - if you are not moving everyday, you are minimizing your ability to grow your brain

•as you know more, you can do more - wired to learn and spot opportunity

•dopamine - neurotransmitter of motivation

•5am club workout - feeling of fire by 5:20am - activated dopamine, cleaned our cortisol - should be an obsession in the morning

•BPNF (morning run promotes) - promotes neurogenysis to end of life - re-grow brain cells destroyed by stress - build neuropathy to skill you are focusing on

•are you too frightened? Steve Jobs had a vision larger than his ego

•if you focus on one skill - you start developing a deep neurological pathway - give brain opportunity to fire 1, 2, 3 deep grooves - myolin - wraps around neuropathy and accelerates brain

2. Interior empires cause external ones

•the person who most irritates you, is your greatest teacher

3. Discomfort is the price of rare-air

•people will call you strange

4. To have what very few have do as few do

•focus on value received vs. cost spent/invested

5. Cheap always costs more

•the thing you are most frightened to do, you must do

•Khalil Jabon - chapter on sorrow, Mandela, Mother Teresa turned suffering into strength, trial into transformation

•adversity is the opportunity for mastery for the icon - Mohammed Ali - suffer now and spend rest of life as champion

6. Bravery is the cure for regret

7. Being copied is a confirmation of legendary

8. Genius is a skill vs. a gene

The Quiet Science Beneath Stratospheric Success

the secret of daily genius

TBTF Hub Sanctuary

Transient Hypofrontality Zone of Genius

“tight bubble of total focus”

- be hard to reach,

e.g. Bill Gates – dream week

brain goes from beta

state to alpha state

cortisol decreases dopamine increases

seratonin at heightened

levels

turn off inner critic

part of brain

The Flow State

routines rituals

choices

income impact results

Epigenetics

has tremendous power on how

DNA will express itself

The Mirror Neuron System

“crown jewel of humanity”

- subconscious behaviours

- models behaviour you spend

most time with

Emotional Contagion

pick up emotions of people

around us

“you deserve to live a life that is

magical”

Hedonic Adaptation

socio-biological wiring of brain

“the antidote to fear is gratitude”

dopamine released with

deliberate gratitude

SAVOR IT!

The Growth Mindset

LEARN until you get there

surround self with positive

people, social network, hire

coaches – remember to

celebrate hard work of

achievements

Behavioural Synchrony

start to feel like dominant

behaviours of people around

you

The Potential Story

your narrative, determining whether you will live

to your potential or not, the very thing that limits

or expands whether you show up

Deliberate Gratitude

write down 5 things each day

that you are grateful for

The 2 Brain Conflict

Warrior – Mastery

Neuroplasticity

BRAIN is much more like a muscle – neurogenesis >

can grown neuro-connections > exercise is a great

antidote to grow brain cells as we age > want brain that

you’ve earned

Behaviour Rewires Thinking Quicker

It’s easier to behave your way into a new way of

thinking – rewires, recodes, new beliefs, dial-in,

calibrate



Day 2 – Sunday June 12, 2016 Today is about…tactics & implementation…including:

One of the greatest heartbreaks of reality…everyone is born into genius, is

heroic, is an industry leader.

With addiction to infliction, technology distraction blocks us

from a natural state of genius.

•getting to know you

know

•what has happened to you

past•becomes fuel + fodder for your growth

growth

Your greatest

growth lives in

the places that

terrify you.

Nelson Mandela spent

27 years at

Robben Island.

He turned his

suffering into fuel –

prior to prison, he was

an angry man.

can have 1000% good

thoughts

but think of one bad thing that takes over

negativity bias of brain

Richard Branson, 2014 Titan Summit – Interviewed by Robin Sharma

- Dalai Lama has a big heart, talks a lot of sense, introduced him to Mandela and

Desmond Tutu

- One theme in common among all three – great believers in forgiveness

- Life is short, not worth having any enemies in your life

Secret of iconic performance is the installation of

the right habits.

first 66 days = will power

automaticity = habit formed

after formed = freed for next ritual

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to

a dancing star.

Friedrich Nietzsche

1. Meditations – Marcus Aurelius 2. Chasing Daylight – Eugene O’Kelly, former CEO

of KPMG
