1
Hi, it's Robin Sharma, author of The 5M Club and The Everyday Hero Manifesto.
2
I'm here in my room in Mexico City.
3
I just flew in from Europe last night and I wanted to, I've just been here in my room.
4
Tomorrow I have a big event for a large group of leaders and I'm just locked in my room here today.
5
I had an early morning workout and I went and got my coffee.
6
It's just a nice vibe in here.
7
It's springtime in Mexico City.
8
The door behind me is open.
9
I hear birds singing.
10
I hear horns honking.
11
But it's a full day where I'm just sort of catching up on thinking
12
and reading and working on what I call my game charts so I can plan out the future.
13
It's really just a day to myself where I can think and ponder and capture my ideas is.
14
Anyway, why I wanted to shoot this, it'll be a quick video,
15
but it also occurred to me that there is huge power and an appetite for learning.
16
And I really get that's obvious, but there's a pivot I want you to think about that's very powerful and very heroic and very helpful.
17
And it's the victim to hero pivot.
18
I talk about it a lot in my book, The Everyday Hero Manifesto.
19
It's a very powerful book where I've distilled the information I've taught to billionaires
20
and sports stars and members of royalty over the past 28 years.
21
Read it if you're interested.
22
The point I'm trying to make today
23
that I really want you to stay open to is there is a pivot to think about.
24
It's the victim to hero pivot.
25
Victims make excuses.
26
Victims blame.
27
They blame the system.
28
They blame their boss.
29
They blame their past.
30
They blame their culture.
31
They blame the time that we're in.
32
And heroes are very different.
33
That's the leap or the pivot I want you to make.
34
They're much more about possibility.
35
In difficulty, they say opportunity.
36
Heroes are very much about execution versus talking about what they're going to do.
37
And here's the key and why I recorded this video.
38
Heroes love to learn.
39
So Carol Dweck has this idea that she wrote about in Mindset called the growth mindset.
40
And there's the growth mindset and the fixed mindset that she talks about.
41
And the growth mindset is basically, well, if I don't know a skill, I can learn the skill.
42
I can read the books and I can get a mentor
43
and I could do the training and I can get great at that.
44
The fixed mindset is, oh,
45
Federer and Serena Williams and Basquiat and Einstein and Elon Musk and Steve Jobs and Hedy Lamarr,
46
well, they were gifted and born into their genius.
47
I am not like them, so why even try?
48
So I want you to think about the fixed mindset and I want you to think about the growth mindset.
49
And I know you're a believer in learning and the growth mindset, otherwise you wouldn't be following my work
50
and here's the real key there's an idea i want to offer to you
51
and it's simply this it's a principle it's
52
if i don't know it i can learn it come on repeat
53
that again with me because it is powerful
54
if i don't know how to publish a book i can go online especially these days on youtube for example
55
and learn how to publish a book
56
if i don't know how to build a startup i'm not going to complain
57
and say oh i can't do it because where i live
58
or because it's hard because I don't know or
59
because I don't come from an entrepreneurial family I will learn it
60
and so that mantra is powerful
61
if I don't know it I will learn it even
62
if it's new language I'm learning Italian at almost at the age of 60
63
and it's un po complicato ma un lingua molto interessante e bello
64
and so I'm learning it I'm on Duolingo and I get lessons and I stumble and I fall,
65
but if I don't know it, I can learn it.
66
And so I want you to think about that.
67
Let me give you three practical ideas to bring this idea of the person who learns the most wins
68
or this growth mindset.
69
I call it like a leadership mindset versus a victim mindset.
70
So number one, pick a subject that you want to master right now.
71
Maybe it's Italian, maybe it's
72
Portuguese, maybe it's
73
Mandarin, whatever it is.
74
Find a subject or a skill you wanna master.
75
Maybe it's cooking, maybe it's coding.
76
So identify that one skill that if you, let's call it a keystone skill or a tent pole skill.
77
The one skill that if you master it will lift every other skill in your life.
78
Second thing, each day iterate and optimize.
79
Remember, Confucius said it well, the thousand mile journey begins with a single step.
80
So incrementalism is very powerful.
81
Little micro wins each and every day.
82
It's stunning how far you get.
83
Final thing.
84
Understand that growth isn't easy.
85
So the skills I've tried to learn, whether it's the craft of writing over the years, I started off as a litigation lawyer.
86
I wasn't an artist for a living.
87
Now I am.
88
I'm a writer.
89
But all changes, and I write about this in the 5am club, and it's helped a lot of people.
90
All change is hard at first, it's messy in the middle, and it's beautiful at the end so as you're learning this new skill
91
and you hit the wall which you will understand that's time to maybe take a break
92
so you come back stronger and change is meant to be hard
93
because you're rewiring your neural circuitry you're optimizing
94
or you're changing your emotional architecture you're becoming a new person
95
and so who you were yesterday must experience a death of sorts
96
so you can become who you need to be tomorrow anyway i want you to keep on learning
97
it's a great secret of happiness it'll obviously help you in your craft
98
and in your work and it'll help you make the world a better place
99
because as you push your best self into the world then you inspire everyone around you to do the same
100
if you want to go deeper have a look at the information below
101
i'm offering an amazing resource is it'll help you grow it'll help you be a better leader.
102
And it's a video course.
103
There's no charge whatsoever.
104
It's just my way of being of service to you
105
and applauding you for following my work and being here with me on this video.
106
I also very much encourage you to read the 5am club.
107
It's helped millions and millions of people calibrate their daily habits, their morning routine, their pre -sleep ritual, and their work habits.
108
So they take it to a whole new level of impact and effectiveness.
109
And it really works.
110
And that's That's why many millions of people are using the book and The 5M Club has grown into a global movement.
111
I also, if you want to go deeper, encourage you to read
112
The Everyday Hero Manifesto.
113
I wrote that book with so much love, so much calibration, and I have a lot of the models
114
that form my methodology on elite performance and legendary productivity in The Everyday hero manifesto.
115
So for a relatively small sum, you get sort of a distillation of the methodology
116
that I've taught to the NBA stars and the film stars and the billionaires and the big companies that I've mentored.
117
So hope all this helps.
118
Go out there, keep on learning, and I wish you all the best.
119
Bye.
120
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
