Today, we continue our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
Our declarations around the The 10 Tactics of Lifelong Genius contained with this tome center on the Tenth tactic: The 60 Minute Student. Sharma shares in this chapter that legendary leaders all have boundless curiosity and a limitless appetite to grow into their greatest selves.
To implement this tactic, Sharma stresses the following:
- For at least sixty minutes a day, study.
- Do whatever it takes to fireproof your commitment to relentless growth. Learning daily will raise your acumen, deepen your wisdom and incite a blazing fire that stokes your grandeur. You’ll become a weighty thinker and an outright superstar.
- Read every good book you can get your hands on.
- Review your journal notes.
- Work through an online program
- Talk with a mentor.
- Watch skill-building videos.
I really enjoy this passage from this tactic. I think you will, too: “As you capitalize on your brightest gifts and highest powers, you’ll become not only a bigger person but an even more indispensable one. You’ll be so exquisite exquisite at what you do that your organization and marketplace will not be able to operate without you. You’ll evolve into an exceptionally valuable leader in your field. And you’ll be able to deliver remarkable streams of value to the teammates, customers and communities you are blessed to serve. The results will be generous rewards returned to you in the form of income, eminence and the psychic joy that comes with being a noble person, doing world-class work and fulfilling a mighty purpose.”
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Education truly is inoculation against disruption. Peak producers are lifetime learners. Be one of the formidable few who reclaim their heroism, cultivate their craft and materialize their genius by getting back to being a world-class student.
