Leading Without a Title.” ~ Robin Sharma

THE

LEAD WITHOUT A TITLE 

MANIFESTO

These are few quotes which motivated me. Thanks to Robin Sharma...

It’s up to you.

Mastery or mediocrity?

Excellence or insignificance?

It’s up to you.

 Remember the 90 Second Rule:

Act on a good idea or great

opportunity within 90 seconds.

Before the voice of fear

begins to take over. 

 A Formula For Success:

A vision that moves you

+ Constant innovation

+ Daily action

 Let’s not confuse breathing

With really living.

 Leadership begins and ends

with 3 words:

Absolute Personal Responsibility

 Best way to improve the world 

Is to improve yourself.

 The only competition

worth focusing on

is against

what you were yesterday.

 Victims make excuses.

Leaders deliver results.

 There are no ordinary people.

Just people choosing to play

at ordinary.

 At the foundation of Mastery

lies simplicity.

Doing just a few things

spectacularly well.

 Expecting your dreams to come

true without doing daily acts to

make them happen is like

hoping for a big harvest – but

planting zero seeds.

 Amazing how far you will get

just by staying with something

long enough.

Too many people’s fears are

bigger than their faith.

When your devotion to doing

great work is larger than your

dedication to fortune and fame,

your career will explode

into high success.

 A failure

is only a failure

if you choose to view it

as a failure.

 Genius is not the result of innate

ability but deliberate practice and

the relentless pursuit of Mastery.

Who I’m becoming

is far more important

than what I own.

The first step to change

is taking the first step.

The things that you schedule

are the things that get done.

The thoughts

that you think today

determine the results

you’ll see tomorrow.

Passion is the secret sauce

that makes the impossible

probable.

The way you do the little things

is the way you’ll do the big things.

Everything matters.

How elegantly you manage

disappointment will determine

how quickly you’ll

experience success.

The greatest crime against

humanity is playing small with

your life.

Your next level of resistance

carries your next level of growth

and excellence.

One of the simplest and best

tactics for leadership and success:

Few things at Mastery

versus many things at mediocrity.

  Manage Your Time, Master Your Life 

The smallest of actions

is better than

the noblest of intentions.

You become who you

drink coffee with.

So associate with

world-class people.

 The impossible

is often simply

the unexplored.

Adversity introduces us to

resources we didn’t know we had

and muscles we never 

knew existed.

 What makes genius

isn’t just the big idea

but the brilliant execution

to advance it. 

As you reflect back over your life,

ask this powerful question:

Could I have done more?

If yes, do more now.

Life is too short to play small.

Be successful.

Even more importantly…

Be significant.

 The conversations

you are resisting

are the conversations

you need to be having.

 To be able to see

the good in others,

start with seeing

the good in yourself.

 Practicing your weakness

just makes them stronger.

 Smarter to be interested

than interesting.

 Run your own race. 

Who cares what others are doing?

Only question to ask yourself is 

“Am I progressing?”

 You can’t afford

the violence of negativity.

Stand up…and be the most

inspiring person you know.

Lucky breaks are nothing more

than the unexpected rewards for

intelligent choices.

Be a minimalist.

Less is more.

Focus on the best

- release the rest.

 Genius resides in seeing what

everyone’s seeing yet thinking

what no one’s thinking.

 If you try

you might

but if you don’t

you won’t.

 The journey of life

is nothing more than basic

training at expressing your

absolute brilliance.

Success is driven via evolution

versus revolution. Small daily

innovations stack up into stunning

results over the passage of time.

Hard work is the

opening act for a

headliner called

Success.

Leadership is about

what you do

when no one’s watching.

A time of no challenges and

problems is a time of no

advancement and growth.

The creativity and excellence

in you aches for expression.

To stifle it is to suffocate who

you truly are.

Driving faster

along the wrong road

slows you down.

Planning is profound.

How can you accomplish what’s

most important if you have no idea

what’s most important.

  

The best leaders honor their

commitments. And keep their

promises. Standing for your word

isn’t soft. It’s hard.

Build a zero-excuse zone

that radiates 5 feet around you.

Watch what happens to your

career – and life – success.

Be so stunningly great

at what you do people call you

virtuoso when you leave the room.

Smart leaders show up on time.

The best leaders show up early.

The less you worry about being

successful and the more you

devote to doing genius-level work,

the more successful you’ll become.

 Leadership is about a fierce

adherence to a vision

while everyone around you thinks

you’re wasting your time.

Any resistance you feel

when seeing someone else’s

success is the very block keeping

you from your highest success.

Make your personal opinion

far more influential on you

than public opinion.

You can’t have all you want

if you are focusing

on all you don’t have.

Pleasure comes from

getting nice things.

Fulfillment comes from

doing great things.

Victims blame fate.

Leaders own that they are the

scriptwriters of their lives.

What you speak more of

you will see more of.

Leadership is a bold stand 

for being your absolute best.

Mess creates stress.

Challenges are life’s way of

introducing you to an even bigger

version of you.

There’s a lot less competition

out on the extra mile.

Every 60-minutes ask yourself:

“What’s the most valuable thing for

me to do right now?”

Stop reciting your problems 

and start presenting your solutions.

We all wish we had more time

yet we waste the time we have.

Every great finish

was once a simple beginning.

Start now.
