Robert Greene, bestselling author of “48 Laws of Power,” and “Mastery", broke down the ABC’s for me. I’ll tell you what I learned.
Five years ago I interviewed one of my all-time favorite authors and brilliant thinkers. Now, I’m bringing this interview back to the surface. It’s about mastery.Robert tells his clients, “Let’s go back. Let’s look at your childhood. Let’s look at the things that excited you. Let’s look at maybe where you went wrong. Let’s look at the things that you hate. If you hate working for a large company, if you hate politicking, you’re probably meant to be an entrepreneur and working for yourself on some level.”“Take the time that you think you wasted doing something else and apply it to something that really appeals to you.”Robert says in the podcast, “Everybody has creative potential. Everybody. And I think the worst feeling in life comes from the sense that as you get older you didn’t somehow tap that potential. You’re not expressing what you think you could’ve expressed.”
But before you can master something, you have to know what that “something” is.
