Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Robin Williams. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Robin, we’ve been so fortunate to work with so many incredible folks and one common thread we have seen is that those who have built amazing lives for themselves are also often the folks who are most generous. Where do you think your generosity comes from?
To qoute the Notorious B.I.G “I know how it feels to wake up f#+%ed up/Pockets broke as hell….”
I know that feeling all to well. I know what it’s like to need a solid person in my corner with no one to be found. I know what it’s like to wake up hungry with not enough to eat. I know what it’s like to feel like I just can’t go on. Or how dehumanizing homelessness can be. So I want to be that solid person, that ear, that kind word, or friendly gesture for others. Sometimes that can mean the difference between life or death for someone. Taking the time to be kind cost a few seconds of your time; but can make someone’s world brighter.
I decided some time ago to be the person I’d like to see in the world. And the best way to lead; is by example. While I don’t shout my deeds from the rooftops; I know someone sees, hears me; and it resonates.
In a world desperately lacking in compassion and empathy; it’s a must I do what I can. And instill the same in my children. It’s in the little things not the grand gestures. Even if you can’t provide something tangible; give a smile. Give a hug. Give conversation and positivity. We think in order to give, we have spend our money or a lot of time. We don’t.
– The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation, and love are some of the most precious gifts you can give, and they don’t cost you anything. -Deepak Chopra

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The first is communication. I thinks it very important to develop the ability to properly communicate with others. Communication is what leads us to understanding the needs and wants of others. It’s more than just the words we say. Communication is also active listening to understand what’s being said. It’s reading body language to understand underlying emotions and what’s not being said. It’s imperative that we learn how to effectively communicate not just in business, but in life.
The second is persistence. On your journey there will be a lot of obstacles and detours; but stay the course. No matter what comes or how many times you feel like you can’t go on KEEP GOING! Sometimes we’re so close to our breakthrough, but give up right before we get to see it. Never give up! KEEP GOING! Perseverance is being able to keep going, keep moving, keep striding towards your goals despite the obstacles that may come. We all have the capacity to persevere; mind over matter is all it takes.
The third is confidence. If you don’t believe in you…….why should anyone else? Confidence is not only someones ability to trust in others…..but one’s ability to trust in themselves. Ever hear the phrase “don’t let them see you sweat?” That’s because uncertainty is the killer of dreams. Even if you’re not sure what you’re doing and the attempt may end in failure. Be confident in your willingness to try, and then try until you get it right. Be confident in knowing you will get it. Don’t be overly cocky and braggadocious; yet move with the understanding that you can and will.
All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?
Right now my biggest obstacle is regaining consistency. I’ve had a lot of things happen in my personal life that’s made it very difficult to conduct business. Luckily I have some amazing clients who have been rolling with my movement. However, I need to once again be stable with my service hours and making products. Especially now that there’s some peace and stability in my personal life once again.
Patience and persistence will help to win the race.
