Warren Buffett’s Top Productivity Tool

I’m a fan of Warren Buffett.

Although his firm Berkshire Hathaway booked big losses on airline stocks, its stake in Apple is now worth $91 billion.

Yet that’s not what makes me respect him.

I love his humility, his intensity to grow and his dedication to philanthropy.

His biography Buffet: The Making Of An American Capitalist is one of my all-time favorite books.

I have also been affected by this quote of his:

“The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say 'no’ to almost everything.”

World-class is so much more about what you don’t do, rather than what you actually do.

Mastery is so much more about seeking simplicity versus adding on layers of complexity. Virtuosos do one thing really really really well. [Ali didn't play polo and Picasso didn’t play the piano, right?].

Amazing producers and world-changers are Masters of The Thoughtful No. And while your To-Do list is important, your Not-To-Do list is essential.

As the Ryan Hurd country song “Her Name Was Summer” plays in the background [loudly], shaking the wooden floors of my creative lab, I offer you 6 other lessons Buffett taught me, to release any average from your days so you activate your success in these times of massive disruption:

1. Stop focusing on the cost of something [like a work tool or a Zoom conference] versus the value you’ll receive from the investment. Cheap is more expensive. And professionals invest in whatever is required to cause them to lead their fields. Yes, everyone’s cutting back in this economy. Yet please remember that creating your own economy of mastery will make you win.

2. Stop going on social media without a clear intention of your outcome. Too many potential genius-grade producers use “likes” as an escape. To create a feeling that they are progressing because they are actually bored. And to medicate the sorrow of human potential unexpressed. Use technology as a lever to scale your business and drive your performance. Never as a drug.

3. Stop starting your weeks without a clear and calibrated game plan. That’s like attempting to scale Everest with no strategy. Hope and prayers are not a map. And lucky loves the prepared.

4. Stop using victimspeak. Our words have dazzling power to shape our results. And to energize ourselves. Excuses, gossip and criticism diminish your native talents. And degrade your original magic. Deploy words of hope into the world and watch your creativity rise.

5. Stop using your phone as an alarm clock. It’s just too easy to begin your day checking email or notifications this way, taking you down a digital rabbit hole of terrific distraction and toxic interruption.

6. Stop listening to the trolls. Releasing your poetry into the world is a threatening act to stuck people. You modelling possibility and demonstrating creative bravery brings up their acts of potential betrayed. It’s far easier to sling arrows at your art than step up their own courage. And produce work that wows. So don’t let the haters and naysayers get you down.

Being criticized is a symptom of heroism.

If these 6 lessons to make your leap to your greatest impact speak to you AND...

...you’d like to make this period of uncertainty and turmoil the period that you experience the most glorious personal transformation of your entire lifetime...

...while battleproofing your business so it endures through all the chaos [more is coming) and then flies when all this is over...

...then please read what follows VERY carefully as it will be extremely valuable to you...

...I’ve spent three deep months reviewing the “game charts”, mental models, morning routines, prosperity frameworks and lifestyle elevation processes that I’ve taught to the billionaires and sports legends I’ve mentored for over 24 years.

...I then handcrafted the best information into a truly revolutionary online membership course for empire-builders and world-changers.

...In other words, I’ve decided to share my entire playbook that I’d previously only offered to my ultra-successful clients, so that you will x25 the rest of your pro and private life.

...I named this absolutely world-class new online course The Top 5% Business Accelerator. And it’s the finest program I’ve ever made available—specifically designed for self-transformation and business optimization amid volatile conditions.

My team has decided to make memberships available by application only. Get the details here.

DISCLAIMER: If you’re not ready to learn, grow while others contract, do some work and get truly amazing results during this global crisis, The Top 5% Business Accelerator is NOT for you. Save your money. Please.

...And yet, if you’re a serious entrepreneur who understands the extraordinary value of transformational learning and premium education as a means to remake yourself into a wiser, stronger, faster and more agile performer while significantly growing your business, then this digital program will be life-changing for you.

So do what all those in the Top 5% do and release all excuses, get off the fence and apply for your membership into one of the world’s finest online programs to maximize your performance and grow your business during turbulent times.

Get all the details here before all memberships are gone.

Hope all this helps you.

Better days are coming. Use this stormy season to grow, strengthen and serve.

Love + respect,

Robin

P.S. People just like you are using The 5AM Club and its methodologies to insulate their positivity and productivity in these hard times. It’s become one of the most-widely read books in lockdown and I really encourage you to read it.

Even better/easier, listen to the splendid audiobook made from it. Go ahead and order it here.

PP.S. For everyone asking, I’m finally making faster progress on my new book. I’ve been working ever so hard for you to make it a life-changing work for this messy season we’re in. I just started round #7 on the manuscript. And so I continue. I’m pretty sure I’m getting closer to the finish line on this one!
