My Best 25 Insights For Year 2015.

Hi Everyone,

With a humble and wide open heart, I thank you for following + sharing + living + modelling my work over these past 12 months.

As we end another year, I wanted to offer up the 25 lessons that were of the greatest value to me over 2015.  

There's zero doubt we're building a global movement. And I'm counting on you to keep building it with me so we inspire all who walk on our path. I have very special plans to serve you even more richly in 2016... 

Please know, as we close out this year... 

Together, we are doing our part to grow positivity, inspire productivity, push audacity and radiate humanity on a planet that needs these more than ever before...and trust me, I love you for it! 

Ok. People, here are the  25 insights that served me best this year... 

#1. Being on time is hip. Keeping your promises is cool. Having good manners is in. 

#2. The greatest leaders build more leaders. Thus, happy people make happy leaders–which create happy teams. So work on your happiness. 

#3. As you rise in authentic power, craft and impact, some will throw rocks at you. Take the High Road. And trust that the truth always wins.

#4. A rare-air dream requires an explosively great team. The smartest way to grow a company is to develop your people. 

#5. A fast-growing company is a highly-vulnerable entity. As you scale, it’s so easy to stop doing the special things that made you special. Stay solid on your founding values. Work even harder to be of service. Push even more passionately for mastery.

#6. Never miss a single opportunity to help another human being. At the end, our highest honour will come from our influence on others. 

#7. The illusion of safety is always more dangerous than the discomfort of innovation. 

#8. Generosity is the cure for scarcity. Be the most giving person in every room you’re in and life will reward you with uncommon blessings. Remember: doing good in expectation of some return is no gift–it’s an exchange. 

#9. Achievement without joy is failure, not winning. 

#10. Watch the sunset every night in acute celebration of the gift of yet another day. 

#11. Remember your heroic nature. And lift all those who intersect your life. There are no extra people alive today. You matter. More than you know. 

#12. A smile to a stranger is a gift of vast proportions. 

#13. Busy isn’t productivity. Fake work isn’t real work. Fight for focus. And execute on what counts. 

#14. Love is the antidote to fear. 

#15. Exceptional physical fitness is a game-changer. 

 #16. You can never give others more love than you deliver to yourself. 

#17. Legendary performers are generated via their daily rituals more than their inherited talents. 

#18. Life’s a series of seasons. We each have our times in the sunlight, and our days in the winters. Savour the easy runs and leverage the challenges to fuel compassion, courage, creativity and decency. All is good. The universe is a friendly place [Thanks Einstein]. 

#19. Writing of gratitude in a journal allows you to relive the more beautiful parts of your life on a daily basis. 

#20. Business is a dialogue. Lose the dialogue with those you serve and you’ll lose the business. Period. And always remember who puts food on your table. 

#21. Meditation is a genius practice on your pursuit towards genius. Rewires the brain, releases serotonin and lights you all up. Do it daily. 

#22. An obsession isn’t unhealthy unless it’s an unhealthy obsession. 

#23. A job is only a job if you fall into the trap of perceiving it as a job. All work is a spectacular opportunity to polish your craft, push your edges, transcend your fears and bring greater light into the world. 

#24. Just because others don’t live your values doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stand for your values. Martin Luther King, Jr: “Until you’ve found something you’re willing to die for you’re not fit to live.” 

#25. Why worry about a disrupted economy when you can build your own economy via the pursuit of mastery. 

I wish you a happy + healthy + brilliant remains of 2015.
