Dear Test, I’ll get straight to the point: most (not all!) of the billionaires, celebrity CEOs and famous entrepreneurs that have come to me for mentoring over the past 3 decades have one thing in common: they are ultra-rich yet happiness poor.
It’s just the reality. They are obsessed with success, needy for more and consumed with making their disruptive visions come to life. Nothing else matters for these humans.
Am I condoning this way of operating? Well, who am I to judge. The gorgeous thing about a human life is we get to roll through it the way we want.
Some live to make a financial fortune while the astonishing obsession of others is to seek spiritual riches, or build world-class families or simply enjoy their lives without much stress.
The best way to live is the best way that feels right for YOU to live, is the way I see it.
Back to the billionaires I work with. I help them grow even bigger, better, more inventive companies while showing them proven systems and protocols to slow down, get super healthy, fill their days with more love and handcraft beautiful personal lives.
To be helpful to your rise, some of the ways I mentor them in achieving this delicate balance include:
—deleting the complexity from their businesses so they become monomaniacally committed to doing far less yet becoming masterful at the few pursuits that deliver the largest results. This is about what I call “Conscious Minimalism” versus “Reactive Maximalism.” Please don’t chase every shiny toy of an opportunity that comes your way. It’ll destroy your company. And degrade your home life.
—incrementally and steadily building an “unkillable” inner core via my techniques to battleproof your Mindset, purify your Heartset (so you exist in a near-constant state of gratitude and fearlessness, even when times are uncertain), optimizing your Healthset for maximum energy and longevity and upgrading your Soulset so your default becomes living for a mission that is bigger than the insecure voice of your ego. Want to be a bigger entrepreneur, become an even better person.
—learning the power of weekly scheduling in a most unique way to structure amazing days that become amazing weeks, quarters and years. Your schedule doesn’t lie and the things that get scheduled are the things that get done.
—building a Dream Team around them like a quarterback has a squad of superstars around them to allow them to focus only on what they do best, freeing up a ton of time and happiness because they no longer do things they don’t like to do. This one structure will transform everything.
—teaching them, in heavyweight detail and with advanced advice, The 8 Forms of Wealth model so that they viscerally understand that money is only one form of wealth. This, then, causes them to pursue the other forms of abundance (wellness, family, service to others for example) leading to far deeper feelings of fulfillment. And significant increases in their sense of freedom.
So Test, please don’t fall into the “groupthink” way of thinking that lots of money will make you happy. As the Zen saying reminds us: “Wherever you go, there you are.”
Of course, having financial freedom will make life easier, allow you to do great things for your loved ones and give generously to those in need. The goal of money prosperity is important. But it’s certainly not everything.
Anyway, hope this post is helpful to your understanding of what makes a great business leader who also enjoys a wonderful life.
You don’t want to get to the end and realize you lived in a way that left you empty, frustrated and disappointed, right?
IMPORTANT: if you’re ready to discover the systems, tools and insights that I’ve taught to many of the world’s top entrepreneurs and wish to be a part of one of the planet’s most valuable mentoring programs, you should know I’m doing my FINAL edition of The Mogul Accelerator [TMA]. To claim one of the places remaining go here.
TMA is only for already successful entrepreneurs and is a one-year program led by me personally. You’ll start with the 3-day live experience in London on December 6,7, and 8 (which will give you more information, methods and processes to create a world-class business and superb personal life than most conferences combined), followed by 10 months of group calls and a calibrated online curriculum.
Admission is by application only. We’re headed for yet another sold-out TMA and it’s my LAST one so don’t miss this, if being mentored by me for a year excites you. Here are the details.
Hope this helps. All my best.
Love + respect,
Robin
