Startups are dead. Philosophical armies are taking over. 10 high-performers with AI > 100 mid-performers with meetings. Forget headcount. Forget scale for the sake of scale. The new companies: - Stay under Dunbar’s number - Operate like Seal Team 6 - Prioritize clarity, culture, and contribution - Build for depth, not noise Millions in revenue. Minimalist teams. Maximum meaning. This isn’t just business. It’s modern warfare with a mission.

Talking feels productive. Listening actually is. When you talk, you’re just repeating what you already know. That’s not growth. That’s confirmation. Most people talk to be heard. High performers listen to get better. You don’t learn by proving your point. You don’t improve by always being right. You don’t evolve by echoing what you already believe. You grow by observing, questioning, absorbing. If you want to think better, speak less. If you want to grow faster, listen more. The person who listens longer wins.

Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. Upgrade your mind, and your reality follows.

You don’t hit goals by chasing them. You hit goals by becoming someone who never misses. This is where most people go wrong. They set an outcome. Then expect discipline to carry them there. But discipline fades. Energy fluctuates. Life gets in the way. What works? Identity. Not: “I want to get in shape.” But: “I’m the type of person who never skips a workout.” Not: “I want to build a business.” But: “I’m the type of person who builds every single day.” You don’t need more tactics. You need to become someone who naturally attracts the result. Here’s the formula: Build the identity Define it clearly. “I want to be someone who...” Start small Not perfect. Not impressive. Just consistent. Stack momentum One change leads to the next. You don’t need to fix everything. You need to move. Hold yourself accountable Act like your future self is watching. Mentor yourself in the moment. Talk to yourself like you matter Not shame. Not guilt. Powerful self-talk, from a place of self-respect. When habits align with identity, discipline becomes unnecessary. You don’t think about it. You just live it. And when life punches you in the face - you don’t stop. Because you’ve already decided: This is who I am. Want help designing that identity, building it from scratch, and turning it into a life you’re proud of? You know where to find me.

Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace.

92% of people FAIL to stick to new habits. And if you’re struggling to stay consistent… It’s not your fault. You’ve been told to “just use willpower.” To “be more disciplined.” To “want it bad enough.” But here’s the truth: 👉 Your brain is wired to keep you stuck. 👉 Your environment is designed to keep you distracted. 👉 And most “productivity hacks” set you up for failure. So if you’re tired of: ❌ Falling back into old habits (even when you know better) ❌ Saying “this time will be different” (and breaking the promise) ❌ Feeling like you’re wasting your potential Then you need a new system.

“𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿” 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗲. It sounds nice. Like you’re just one clever trick away from success. But here’s the reality: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 “𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁” 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. Take engineering. Every great engineer starts by doing everything the long, hard, manual way. They debug for hours. They rewrite code that breaks. They build things that don’t scale. Eventually - after enough reps—they figure out better tools. Cleaner patterns. More efficient systems. But they only got there by grinding through the mess. I asked to a genius developer and friend of mine. He’s been writing code for years. And in a conversation, he said it perfectly: “𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴… 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱.” Same with music. People say “just relax” when learning guitar or piano. Like relaxation is something you can switch on. But it takes thousands of hours to learn how to relax while playing. You tense up. You overthink. You press too hard. Only after the repetitions—after the struggle - can you play with that effortless flow people admire. Jiu-jitsu is the same. “Just relax,” they say. But first, you get your ass handed to you. Over and over. You go home frustrated. Ego bruised. Then… a tiny insight hits. Something clicks. And the next time you roll, you’re a little better. Multiply that by months of struggle - and suddenly, you know what “relax” actually means. You’ve earned it. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁. They succeed, look back, and only remember how it feels now - not how much pain it took to get there. So they tell others, “Just do it the smart way.” But that’s bad advice. Because smart doesn’t exist at the start. It’s something you find through effort, through friction. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁. That’s how mastery works. That’s how growth happens. That’s the real path.

most people fight the wrong battle. here’s the real one.

Your thoughts are keeping you stuck. Change them, or stay where you are.

The day I realized I wasn’t living I woke up. Same routine. Same job. Same predictable day. Sat in traffic. Scrolled my phone. Waited for the weekend. Weeks blurred into months. Nothing changed. Then it hit me: I wasn’t living. I was just existing. Society had handed me a script: 📌 Go to school. 📌 Get a job. 📌 Pay bills. 📌 Retire. No one ever asked if I wanted this. No one ever told me there was another way. But I had a choice: ❌ Keep playing it safe, waiting for “someday.” ✅ Or take control and learn how to actually live. That meant: ⚡ Learning skills no one taught in school. ⚡ Creating income on my terms. ⚡ Designing a life I didn’t need a vacation from. The second I started learning, things changed. Not instantly. Not easily. But I was alive again. "As long as you live, keep learning how to live." Because if you’re not growing, you’re dying. #SelfMastery #Entrepreneurship #Mindset #Freedom

Most people are professional note-takers, not learners. Most people think learning is about consuming more information. They sit in lectures, highlight books, and binge educational videos. Then wonder why they still feel stuck. Instead: - 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻. (If you can’t explain it, you don’t understand it.) - 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. (Make mistakes. That’s how you actually learn.) - 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲. (The best way to master anything.) Knowledge is useless without action. Don’t just read about success. 𝗚𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁.

Confidence Isn’t Magic. It’s Preparation. Most people think confidence is something you’re born with. It’s not. Confidence comes from reps, experience, and proof that you’re ready. 🔹 The more you train, the sharper you perform. 🔹 The more you study, the clearer you think. 🔹 The more you prepare, the less you hesitate. Anxiety comes from uncertainty. Confidence comes from knowing you’ve put in the work. There is no secret. No shortcut. No hack. Just preparation. #Mindset #Confidence #Discipline #Growth

Most people talk. 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲. They don’t blame. They don’t wait. They don’t seek validation. They take responsibility, show results, and move with precision. The difference between 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 isn’t talent—it’s ownership. If you want to separate yourself from the pack, you need to internalize these 6 rules. The 𝗳𝗲𝘄 who apply them will create unstoppable momentum. Which rule do you need to improve? Drop a comment.

99% of people stay stuck because they react the wrong way. It’s not the economy. It’s not your competition. It’s not bad luck. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱. - Some people 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲 and do nothing. - Some 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 and blame others. - Some 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁, 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸. Your 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to a challenge shapes your future more than the challenge itself. Want proof? I’ve coached 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘀 of entrepreneurs. The ones who win are never the smartest, the most skilled, or the most connected. They just 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀. Here’s how to start doing the same: - 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲. Ask: “How is this happening for me?” - 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. Take a step back before making a decision. - 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆. Overthinking is the fastest way to lose. Most people will ignore this. A few will apply it and change everything. ---------- Hi, I’m Robin. If you’re an ambitious leader or operator ready to break limits and build a life you’re proud of—DM me. I coach high performers to master mindset, health, scale impact, and lead with clarity—because "good enough" isn’t in our vocabulary.

I thought intensity was the key to success. - 48-hour work sprints. 15-minute naps under my desk. - Brutal gym sessions. No rest days. - 10 books a month. Because "more knowledge = more success," right? People called me intense. I called it discipline. But in reality? I was on a burnout treadmill. Push hard → Crash → Lose momentum → Start over. Then I realized: Consistency > Intensity. The people winning weren’t the ones going all in. They were the ones who never stopped showing up. The 80/20 of Sustainable Growth: ✅ Lower the bar. (Make success so easy it’s impossible to fail.) ✅ Stack habits. (After coffee → Write 1 sentence. After the gym → Read 1 page.) ✅ Make it impossible to skip. (Lay out your gym clothes. Put your book on your pillow.) Big results don’t come from one massive push. They come from tiny wins, stacked daily. Stop trying to sprint a marathon. Just show up.

Been a little quiet on LinkedIn. Had a good reason. 24.02.2025 - Welcoming Kai Aurelius to the World. Our little boy is here. Mom is doing great. Life just got real. But here’s what I’m realizing fast: Parenting is the ultimate partnership. It’s easy to let a moment like this wreck your habits. Lose sleep. Lose focus. Lose yourself. We made a different choice. 💡 Rule #1: Never be tired at the same time. 💡 Rule #2: Over-communicate. 💡 Rule #3: Support, don’t scorekeep. We built systems before we needed them. - Sleep? 7-8 hours a night (sleep has been my foundation for years, thanks to ŌURA, WHOOP and Owlet Baby Care) - Training? Still in the gym, just shorter sessions. - Reading? More books—especially to him. - Love? Leading with as much as we can. It’s not about doing things perfectly. It’s about staying adaptable. Antifragility in action. Also, I started a Dad’visor board—Dads I admire. If you're a dad, drop your best lesson in the comments. Let’s build a playbook for future fathers. For now, the focus is simple: 📌 A Calm Mind 📌 A Fit Body 📌 A House Full of Love Everyone keeps asking how I feel. It feels right. ---------------------------------------------------------- I write to clarify my thoughts. I write to document what matters. I write to learn what I need most. I’ve always written about self-mastery, performance, and growth. Because that’s what I needed at the time. Now, I’m stepping into the biggest challenge yet. So I’ll start writing about: 📌 Parenting insights & lessons 📌 Questions I’m wrestling with 📌 How to balance ambition, fatherhood, and fulfillment I don’t have all the answers. But writing & experimenting is how I’ll find them.

Dad Life week 2 - thoughts I'm pondering: Leadership used to mean building something bigger than myself. A company. A brand. A movement. Now? It means something else entirely. This week, I caught myself half-present. Phone in one hand. Baby in the other. Mind still in work mode. Then it hit me: 𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Not listening. 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Not my words, my actions. Not what I teach, but what I do. - How I handle stress. - How I treat people. - How I take care of myself. - How I show up when nobody’s watching. Because to him, 𝗜’𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁. And that’s the weight of fatherhood. Not providing. Not protecting. But 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲. The world will always need more CEOs. But my kid only needs 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗱. And that version of me? Needs to be someone worth looking up to. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. Still figuring this out. But I know this: Success is empty if the people who need you most feel like they come second. What’s one lesson you hope to teach—not by saying it, but by living it?

Your nervous system is your real CEO. If it’s in survival mode, so is your business. • Rushed decisions. • Short-term thinking. • Constant stress, zero clarity. You can’t build something great when your system is fried. Here’s how to regulate it starting today: 1. Control your breath • Inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 8s. • Repeat for 2 minutes. 2. Move your body • Walk. Lift. Stretch. • Get out of your head. 3. Reduce sensory overload • Mute notifications. • Unfollow stress triggers. 4. Optimize your sleep • No screens before bed. • Cold, dark room. 5. Reframe stress • Will this matter in 5 years? • Growth happens under pressure. 6. Train your nervous system • Cold showers. Stillness. Breathwork. A regulated nervous system is a competitive advantage. Control your state. Or your state will control your business.
