Robin Sharma

“He has a true gift to wake up sleeping leaders in us.”

Quick summary

Robin Sharma's teachings helped Austeja transform her mornings by waking at 5 am, dramatically improving her life quality and work performance. His inspiration gave her the strength to maintain this habit even on difficult days.

Robin Sharma was my gateway to the Personal Development world. He has a true gift to wake up sleeping leaders in us that we don’t know about yet, nevertheless we all have them. Robin taught me what small steps to take to become extraordinary and kept inspiring me along the way. Several years ago I started building a habit of waking up at 5 am. Even though it happened not because of Robin’s work in the first place, he was the one that helped me to maintain this habit. I remember there were days when I would wake up and wanted to snooze my alarm. Yet, the second thought straight after used to be: “What would Robin think about me? Am I a titan, a strong and exceptional person, or that weak to give up and sleep?” This is how I transformed my mornings into extraordinary and tremendously increased quality of my life and my work performance.
