Robin Sharma's 5 super habits to crush success in 2026

Leadership missionary, humanitarian and author, Robin Sharma knows that success isn't just luck. Instead, it is one's small, daily habits that make one successful overtime. In a social media post, 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari' author shared his wisdom and revealed the five super habits one should have to be successful in life. Here we list them for you:


2/6

Rise at 5am to exercise

Imagine owning your morning before the world wakes, that's pure magic, believes Robin Sharma. He says that one should make it a habit to wake up at 5AM to exercise daily (be it running, yoga, or lifting weights). This spikes endorphins, sharpens focus, and sets unstoppable momentum in one's schedule. And science backs it too: Early risers have less cortisol, and higher BDNF for brainpower.
So, start small - even 20 minutes of daily exercise early in the morning helps. Within weeks, you'll notice your energy surge, decision sharpen, and stress fade. And many successful people and leaders swear by it too.

3/6

Read for one hour daily

Robin Sharma insists one to read for at least an hour daily. This can help rewire your thinking, spark creativity, and build vocabulary. Reading also helps one destress and it improves one's cognitive functioning.
So, ditch mindless social media scrolling or watching TV and instead utilise that time to read biographies, philosophy, fiction or self-help books that will sharpen your mind. Reading is common hobby of many successful millionaires too - Warren Buffett reads 500 pages daily; Bill Gates is also known to be an avid reader.

4/6

Don't worry about things beyond your control

Worry wastes one's energy and time. Instead, focus your energy on your actions and attitudes, believes Sharma. And when things go beyond your control, accept and adapt accordingly. If you feel overwhelmed, then practise destressing activities like meditation and journaling that will not only relax your mind, but also bring clarity to your thoughts. That's what leaders do: they detach from chaos and remain centered-- That's what keeps them going.

5/6

Take a day each week without your phone

Digital detox day = soul reset. Robin Sharma shares that one should have at least one day each week without their phone and instead utilise that time to spend with family, nature, or on their hobbies. Constant digital connectivity and phone notifications silently steal one's peace of mind; whereas, silence restores. So, remember to disconnect to reconnect-- with life, loved ones, and your true self.

6/6

Be the kindest person you know

Kindness isn't weakness—it's a leadership skill. Even small acts of kindness like holding the door for somebody, listening deeply, or helping others have a profound impact-- it releases oxytocin, thus making one feel happy. So, make it a point to practice at least one small act of kindness every day.
