The 35 Lessons of the Great Masters

1. What's the point of having a great mindset if your heart is broken from suffering in the past? A strong mental game with a weak emotional life will never get you to iconic results. Only self-sabotage.

2. Ideation that isn't executed is ideation wasted. You get paid to get gargantuan results done. And easy is never the route to legendary. Talk less. Deliver more.

3. Winning starts with beginning. Today's a fine day to begin your best life. There's tremendous power in a start.

4. You've been built for world-class. But how can you expect greatness if you don't know and fail to run the rituals and routines of the great ones? Learn them. Then do them.

5. The bigger the dream, the more important the team. You can't rise to epic alone. Get brilliant at surrounding yourself with "a band of Picassos". And then, mentor them, challenge them and help them believe in the heroic. The job of a leader is to grow more leaders.

6. Your personal story becomes your self-fulfilling prophecy. Your income reflects your identity and your impact on the world is determined by the psychology of your mind. Do big work here.

7. Your genetics do not determine your genius. Your mindsets, heartsets, healthsets and soulsets do [note: I taught these terms and the models explaining why these "4 Interior Empires" are the absolute foundations of massive success at PMA. Please learn and apply them]. Install the right ones and you'll be guaranteed rare-air results.

8. Last year's world-record is this year's starting point. For the A-Player.

9. Energy is more valuable than intelligence. Run my Twin Cycles of Elite Performance model to have the fire to get more done in a day than your competition gets done in a month. Try intermittent fasting. The energy spent on digestion gets freed up for production. And remember Simon, the person who helps the most people wins.

10. With better awareness, you will see better choices; with better daily choices, you will see better daily results [this PMAmodel is called The 3 Step Success Formula].

11. Be otherworldly good at what you do. And sustain it.

12. Granularity breeds superficiality over time, if not optimized.

13. Only misfits and oddballs change the world. It's cool to be different.

14. What you now find easy, you once found difficult. Stay consistent. Do not stop.

15. All change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.

16. World-class is a lonely sport. The only person you'll have your whole life with is you. Approve of yourself. Love yourself.

17.  You can be addicted to your phone, or you can be world-class. You can't do both.

18. When you're inspired, your body moves differently because you restructure your neural architecture.  Set up your victory move. And practice it daily.

19. There are 2 economies: Income and Impact. Both matter. Because prosperity without philanthropy will leave you empty.

20. Replace the psychology of can't with the mentality of can. Every epic performer + legendary leader is a possibilitarian. They just are.

21. It's a sign of high honor to become the best in the world at what you do. Work matters. You invest most of your life at it. Be genius in it.

22. The great ones outprepare, outstudy, outpractice and outwork everyone around them. And so, in a world of average players caught up in trivial pursuits, you'll win.

23. You have to do the things the 95% won't do to get the results only 5% get.

24. Every distraction costs you your fortune.

25. Your greatest growth lives on the jagged edges of your darkest pain.

26. Use your suffering as a purification process, to install the strengths of the great masters. Gifts like undefeatability, monomaniacal focus, elevating others, leading mightily and standing for love in the presence of hate.

27. Micro-wins are key to being BIW after 10 years of practice.

28. Consistency is the DNA to mastery. What you do every day matters so much more than what you do once a quarter.

29. The greatest gift you can give is the present of presence.

30. Life is too short to play small. Go big for the benefit of the world.

31. Rest. Elite performance without deep recovery leads to depletion.

32. When people throw rocks at you, use them to construct monuments to your mastery.

33. Until your mission becomes your obsession, your craft will never become your genius.

34. Your days are your life in miniature. Dial in your days to exceptional and you'll receive an exceptional life.

35. True power is being an instrument of service. And seeing your work as a ministry for the benefit of humanity. Watches and handbags, titles and cars, social standing and public applause won't matter. At the end.
