What if you could master anything you wanted?

How would that change your business?

An even better question would be…

How would it change your life?

Understanding mastery, and applying that skill set to your business IS the difference between constant struggle versus incredible success. In this episode we talk about many of the key elements that will determine your level of success.

I am super excited to introduce you to rock-star entrepreneur Robert Greene.

Robert is a brilliant author (and speaker) known for his four international bestsellers. The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law and his most recent; Mastery.

His highly anticipated fifth book, Mastery (which I highly recommend), examines the lives of great historical figures such as Charles Darwin, Mozart, Paul Graham and Henry Ford and distills the traits and universal ingredients that made them masters. In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene’s books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry (including Jay-Z and 50 Cent).

In fact, one of Roberts books (The 50th Law ) was co authored with 50 cent. There are very few people that get “The True Art of Mastery” as Robert has so poignantly explained in his book.

You will NOT want to miss this episode! This is a critical element to your success.

Robert’s reading recommendation for taking your business to the next level is:

1. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

No suggested tool/technology.

Robert’s favorite quote for fellow Entrepreneurs:
“Our inward power when it obeys nature reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aim as circumstances allow. It turns obstacles into fuel as if fire overwhelms what could have quenched a lamb. But thrown on top of the consecration is absorb consumed by it and makes it burn still higher.” — Marcus Aurelius
