62 Fast Tips to Get UnStuck

62 Fast Tips to Get UnStuck

By Robin Sharma


  • Believe in your vision and gifts when no one else believes in your vision and gifts.
  • Start your day with 20 minutes of exercise.
  • Make excellence your way of being (versus a once in a while event).
  • Be on time (bonus points: be early).
  • Be a celebrator of other’s talents versus a critic.
  • Stop watching TV. (Bonus points: sell your tv and invest the cash in learning and self-education).
  • Finish what you start.
  • Remember that your diet affects your moods so eat like an athlete.
  • Spend an hour a day without stimulation (no phone+no FaceBook+no noise).
  • Release the energy vampires from your life. They are destroying your performance.
  • Write in a journal every morning. And record gratitude every night.
  • Do work that scares you (if you’re not uncomfortable often, you’re not growing very much).
  • Make the choice to let go of your past. It’s dusty history. And polluting your future.
  • Commit to being “Mozart-Level Good” at your work.
  • Smile more (and tell your face).
  • Do a collage filled with images of your ideal life. Look at it once a day for focus and inspiration.
  • Plan your week on a schedule (clarity is the DNA of mastery).
  • Stop gossiping (average people love gossip; exceptional people adore ideas).
  • Read “As You Think”.
  • Read “The Go-Getter”.
  • Don’t just parent your kids–develop them.
  • Remember that victims are frightened by change. And leaders grow inspired by it.
  • Start taking daily supplements to stay in peak health.
  • Clean out any form of “victimspeak” in your vocabulary and start running the language of leadership and possibility.
  • Do a nature walk at least once a week. It’ll renew you (you can’t inspire others if you’re depleted yourself).
  • Take on projects no one else will take on. Set goals no one else will do.
  • Do something that makes you feel uncomfortable at least once every 7 days.
  • Say “sorry” when you know you should say “sorry”.
  • Say “please” and “thank you” a lot.
  • Remember that to double your income, triple your investment in learning, coaching and self-education.
  • Dream big but start now.
  • Achieve 5 little goals each day (“The Daily 5 Concept” I shared in “The Leader Who Had No Title” that has transformed the lives of so many). In 12 months this habit will produce 1850 little goals–which will amount to a massive transformation.
  • Write handwritten thank you notes to your customers, teammates and family members.
  • Be slow to criticize and fast to praise.
  • Read Walter Isaacson’s amazing biography on Steve Jobs.
  • Give your customers 10X the value they pay for (“The 10X Value Obsession”).
  • Use the first 90 minutes of your work day only on value-creating activities (versus checking email or surfing the Net).
  • Breathe.
  • Keep your promises.
  • Remember that ordinary people talk about their goals. Leaders get them done. With speed.
  • Watch the inspirational documentary “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”.
  • Know that a problem only becomes a problem when you choose to see it as a problem.
  • Brain tattoo the fact that all work is a chance to change the world.
  • Watch the amazing movie “The Intouchables”.
  • Remember that every person you meet has a story to tell, a lesson to teach and a dream to do.
  • Risk being rejected. All of the great ones do.
  • Spend more time in art galleries. Art inspires, stimulates creativity and pushes boundaries.
  • Read a book a week, invest in a course every month and attend a workshop every quarter.
  • Remember that you empower what you complain about.
  • Get to know yourself. The main reason we procrastinate on our goals is not because of external conditions; we procrastinate due to our internal beliefs. And the thing is they are stuck so deep that we don’t even know they exist. But once you do, everything changes.
  • Read “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”.
  • Know your values. And then have the guts to live them–no matter what the crowd thinks and how the herd lives.
  • Become the fittest person you know.
  • Become the strongest person you know.
  • Become the kindest person you know.
  • Know your “Big 5″–the 5 goals you absolutely must achieve by December 31 to make this year your best yet (I teach my entire goal-achieving process, my advanced techniques on unleashing confidence and how to go from being stuck to living a life you adore in my online program “Your Absolute Best Year Yet”).
  • Know that potential unexpressed turns to pain.
  • Build a strong family foundation while you grow your ideal career.
  • Stop being selfish.
  • Give your life to a project bigger than yourself.
  • Be thankful for your talents.
  • Stand for iconic. Go for legendary. And make history.
  • This is YOUR time. Now’s YOUR moment. Let’s do this! :)
