The 5 Blockades Keeping You From Success, and How to Overcome Them

there's a spirit of sadness and. discouragement that has descended on the. country you can feel it you could see it. in the New Year's celebrations that. weren't very celebratory and you. certainly notice it when you talk to. people people you know well people who. are paying some attention even those who. aren't they seem down they're anxious of. course about this year which is going to. transform the world there's no question. about that but they also seem a little. defeated and sad what is that exactly. you don't need to be a a guru to sense. it it's real um and how should you.

respond to it and so that's a question. we've been thinking about a lot this. week and one of the people we want to. pose it to is a very smart man one of. the most famous people in the world Tony. Robins a life strategist of obviously. one of the best selling authors in the. country and he joins us now in studio. Tony thanks a lot for coming on good to. see you again do do you know what I I. mean when I say the spirit of sadness do. you see it around you and what is that. it's sadness and it's anger too yeah you. can't travel without seeing it with. people on airlines it's pretty extreme. people have lost their patience after. covid um but the anger usually comes. from Fear yeah and there's a lot of fear.

about the future because there's not a. compelling future if you ask people. what's the vision for the future for. this country I mean for days of johnf. Kennedy he would talk about you know. where we're going to go we're going to. go to the Moon we're going transform the. world you know we're going to bring. freedom everywhere Reagan had his view. of the you know the the city on the hill. and here's what we're going to become. but if you ask today I don't think most. people have a clear vision and without a. vision people perish it isn't a really. good book I called a good book um but. what's missing is a compelling future. what I mean by a compelling future is. anybody can deal with a difficult today.

if they know they have a really amazing. tomorrow they're moving towards but when. people start thinking young people today. I'm not going to have a kid because in. 12 years the whole world's going to end. you know because the environment is. obviously not true or there is no future. because every party says the other part. is going to destroy the world destroy. the country people without a vision just. have no direction and so it's up to us. to become more emotionally fit and by. the way this is not new that's wise yeah. every everybody thank you but everybody. who studies history knows things happen. in Cycles and as the most simplified.

version I think a couple years ago you. and I talked about this real briefly but. think of it this way man transformed. Humanity transformed from survival. hunting and Gathering to actually having. a community by figuring one pattern. recognition which was Seasons when you. recognize the seasons you're not. panicked you're not freaked out why is. it getting so cold and if you understand. the seasons you know I don't have to. hunt and gather I can plant in the. spring but if I plant in the winter and. work very hard I get nothing I have to. do the right thing at the right time so. we have to become aware of season we're.

in so Springtime in a person's life. Springtime in an economy is easy when. you I've got a little two and a half. year old I've got five kids and five. grandkids so I've got a 48y old daughter. and I've got a two and a half year old. daughter so I've got the whole range. speaking of Seasons speaking of Seasons. but if you look at my daughter I'm she's. learning Chinese Spanish English she's. playing the piano she's doing all these. fun things the two and a half but. learning is the easiest thing in the. world when you're in a springtime. economy you think you're a genius with. your business it grows cuz everything's. growing correct right that's right but.

life is always good times challenging. times that make us grow so then we have. a summer Summer's always more. challenging it's hot and difficult and. you got to push through what was growing. really easy is not so easy to do anymore. people start to panic but if you stay. strong and you keep pushing forward you. keep growing you get to go to the fall. another easy season a beautiful season. now people don't want to loan you money. and give you a house even though you. don't have an income you remember those. days right very well there's Easy Money. stock markets go crazy these Seasons. last about 18 to 20 years they go every. 80e like Cycles you can see them in a.

thousand years of history and let's say. Roman history about 100 Year Cycles 25. years now they're 18 20 year Cycles but. what follows the winter what follows I. should say the reaping time is the. winter some Winters are long some are. short some are hard some are easy but. you never go from reaping straight to. Spring and we're in Winter right now. it's we're about depending on who you. study historically we're halfway. two-thirds way through it where there's. challenges economically where there's. tremendous fear each season has a. different emotion until we exhausted.

even optimism you ever smiled so much. your face hurt yes so that's what it's. like in springtime summertime there's. inner conflict within a country fall. everybody's reaping again not everybody. but certain people winter it looks like. it's never going to happen it looks like. here's the truth no war lasts forever no. pandemic lasts forever no economy lasts. forever and what if you were God if you. were the universe how would you set up. after the really rough night you'd have. a great day and that's pretty much the. season so we're in Winter and we have to. retool ourselves for this time because.

right now people have more fear it's. exaggerated and the media helps the. media is not bad people as you well know. it's good people doing their job their. job is take care of their shareholders. how do you do that you get attention how. do you get attention fear and anger get. it more than anything else that's why we. have clickbait minute you click on it. even though it's not true you get group. gets paid so we live in a world where. fear sells and we're being hit on it. everywhere you don't have to go get it. it comes to your pocket so we have to. rewire ourselves it's like if I said to. you take your car and go on a 24-hour.

lon's ride you could have a really nice. Mercedes Ferrari whatever you think it. is it's not going to last you got to. retool it or there's desert races. Thousand Miles if you don't have the. right sprockets in there if you don't. have something that when you drop down. to the sand can still bring the end air. into the car you're not there so my view. is you got to retool yourself you got to. train yourself this time and you also. have to know it's not forever the other. side of this is going to be a new. Springtime but we're going to have to go. through some challenges first and they. could be severe and most of these W. extended Winters we've had some kind of.

war in this case might be a cyber war. with China or something of that nature. but there is another side and it. requires faith and determination to move. forward and it requires you focus on. what you can control versus what you. can't that's right A friend of mine was. saying the other day oh my God you know. it's this man's really smart guy uh very. successful man I've known him for 35. years I've coached him and I get coached. by him I we've you kind of pitch and. catch with each other he's saying I'm so. worried he's also Jewish and he's like. you see what's happening in the world. and what if there's somebody drops a. nuclear bomb and I said you taught me. years ago he taught me don't ever look.

at the worst case scenario because if. that happens we're all screwed and it. doesn't matter we'll have to figure it. out and I said if somebody drops a. nuclear bomb you won't even know you'll. be vaporized so living around in fear. about it's not it let's focus on what we. can control let's focus on what is here. and then you start to build and so I I. really think that people need to build a. path from where they are to where they. want to be and that's really my focus in. helping people to do that what a. wonderful explanation so you don't think. I mean you think Winter's inevitable if.

I'm remember correct because it always. is and it always follows good times you. but it's not the end no and when things. are going bad they think it's going to. be bad forever when it's going good. people think it's going to good forever. life is cyclical what's the upside of. winter well if you don't whine about it. and complain about it you get strong. when I started my business it was 18%. interest rates when I hear people today. saying I can't buy a house at 7%. interest rates I think today it was 18%. interest race people would be sacking. the White House you know people have. such a different expectation but it made.

me incredibly strong I was in the middle. of stagflation all those things that. were starting to consider may happen. again I went through all those things. but it made me strong and I've had. dozens and dozens of people come and go. in my industry and here I am 46 it'll be. my 47th year coming up here I started. when I was three you know but in 47. years I'd be an idiot not to see. patterns patterns that control how we. think how we feel what we do the results. we get there's macro patterns in the. world and there's micro patterns inside. of you you don't get angry every moment. you get angry certain times you don't. know every moment only we get triggered.

certain ways so showing people how to. create a path from where they are where. they want to be regardless of the. outside world to me is the most. important thing and there's joy in. Winters maybe different kinds well you. can snowboard you can you can ski I mean. some people freeze to death other people. snowboard some people you know have more. time with their family some people get. together and say hey it's time to really. redevelop my career maybe retool myself. right now for what's coming so I can. take advantage because Ai and Robotics. and nanotechnology are all coming faster. than people think it's going to. massively disrupt some jobs there'll be.

new jobs but you're going to have to. retool for them or otherwise you'll be. left behind I got to say you're just. reminding me that um you mentioned Co at. the outset which was I think by any. measure no matter what side you're on. was a disaster y but it was also for. some people some small percentage of us. a really really happy time I'll SP for. myself it was one of the happiest times. of my whole life W that's I got to be. with my family well I had I had a. similar experience you know I've lived. 275 Days on the Road since I was 17. years old traveling you know 30. countries a year. and uh suddenly I'm getting calls from.

Gavin Newsome's office saying guess what. your convention here the stadium with. 15,000 people 100 people in the stadium. like how's not going to work right not. gonna happen so I said we'll go to Vegas. we'll move to Vegas they'll never shut. down Vegas one week out with 12,500. people they shut down Vegas then I said. we'll go to Texas the governor there. he's tough he won't shut down he said. he's tough yeah he shut down of course. he did theaters we opened all these. theaters we'll put 10 people in each. theater we'll do 1,300 theaters we have. 13,000 people to work out at least have.

a group and you know small group of. people and big screens and music and. they shut down the theaters so it's like. so I had to figure out how to serve. people so the first thing I did was I. built a studio 25,000 square feet and I. built these screens 20 feet high and led. 67 so I can see every better than if you. and I here in person because you're. bigger too and I can see all these. people at once Swip and see another. group and so I grew my seminars from the. 15,000 people to 40,000 people cuz now I. people from 195 countries attending and.

they were in their homes and I didn't. think it could convert that but by. bringing them on I I worked with the. founder of zoom and I made it so that we. could bring people up on screen not just. a thousand but bring bring 25 and 30 and. 40,000 I made some software so when. people instead of clapping they'd shake. their phone sends an electric signal so. it's one person you don't hear 25,000. 30,000 it shakes the building so it's. real and so I once I did that and I. start I did my biggest seminar was a. million and a half people last year for. what was it for four days three days and.

it was from 195 countries every person. in the world and people had such huge. Transformations I did it for free. because people are stuck at home so I. made that my tradition and I've done. that now for four years in a row in. January for free for free and just said. I don't want money I don't want time I. don't want travel getting your way and. this year I'm going to be one for three. days I'm doing January 25th through the. 27th and it's just two and a half to. three hours a day instead of going to a. movie come with me at you know 2 o'clock. in the afternoon Eastern but I have. people from 195 countries attending so.

and it they'll have a pathway what I. mean by a pathway is this what we're. being called to by all these problems if. you let the sadness or depression or. fear overwhelm you or anger you're. making no progress it'll blow you up but. you need to understand that all this. disruption is a call you went through a. call and fox made a change with you yeah. a call is something disrupts your life. is the hero's journey right you look at. all the stories of mankind and you look. back and you see there's this same path. and you can make it really complex I. like a simpler version First simple.

version is your life is seeming good or. bad and then something disrupts it you. go through a divorce you've suddenly. have a health problem somebody in your. family has a health problem there's a. you lose your job or something happens. to the economy or covid or whatever it. doesn't have to be within your control. and what does that require it means you. got to be called on a new adventure it. makes you get out of your comfort zone. that's where we are right now you either. pull back and freak out or you. discipline your disappointment and you. move forward and what happens you go on. a journey and on that Journey you're. going to face all kinds of demons and.

Challenge and Dragons you're going to. meet some new mentors you're going to. develop some new skills and if you do. the hard work and push through you'll. make the the side you'll be transformed. you'll be the hero of your own life and. you can bring back what you've learned. and help other people and it's not that. hard I mean I'll give you seven steps. real fast all you got members the first. four because the other three kind of. take care of themselves step one what's. Mak somebody go on a journey is when. they unleash or awaken their deeper. desires so for you and I don't know for. sure but my bet is the fox situation was.

disruptive but it also Unleashed within. you new possibilities I could do this on. my own terms I could do things more. International I'm not going to be. limited what someone else tells me I can. or cannot do and I know you weren't. limited very much before but you have. total freedom now to do it but as you go. on that Journey you got to build a. business you used to work for someone. else yeah and you got to bring people in. and they're not all going to perform and. then you discover some people you've. been so loyal to are not quite as. committed as you are they're not doing. the job and you have to take on things. you probably didn't want to take on. you're spending your time looking at the. big issues and deal with things but at.

some level you got to deal with the. business and so along the way you'll. have to deal with those challenges. you'll find new people you'll find new. mentors you'll develop new skills and. the other side you'll be better off than. ever before and be able to come back and. help more people but you have to know. what is it you want and why do you want. it because it's like New Year's. resolutions why don't they work because. when you do New Year resolution you're. just saying what you want to have happen. right it's not really a resolution when. you resolve something that means you cut. off anything except what you've. committed to people don't resolve go I. kind of like this most people don't have.

much of a plan but if you know what you. want with real Clarity and why you want. it now you're on the path so for example. someone says how do I know I'm going to. get where I want to be financially how. do I know I to get where I want to be in. a relationship or in my business or. career the first step is what do you. want if you don't know what you want. you're not even on the path if you know. exactly what you want get really clear. and you know why you want it you got. enough reasons to push you through now. the second step is you got to find and. face the truth and that's what has to. happen for everybody find face the truth. means see the gap between where you are.

and where you want to be there's always. a gap if you're honest so instead of. well I'm big boned is what I used to. tell myself when I was 38 pounds heavier. no I was freaking fat that's what I was. right but I'd say I was a big bone I. have same bones that I'm 38 pounds. lighter Instead This Way for 35 years. right but when I had that mindset it got. in the way so you have to say here's. where I am here's where I want to be and. you have to be honest it's not where I. want to be it's uncomfortable but then. the second part is you got to uncover. face the truth what is gotten the way in. the past and there's only five things. usually fear fear of failure fear of.

success fear of unknown fear of not. looking good fear of all those things or. two a limiting belief like I've tried. everything once you believe that you. don't even try anything anymore someone. trying to lose weight that's the common. one they'll say because they've tried a. bunch of things they didn't work or um. all the good ones are gone you know. right all right or they're gay and I'm. not or I'm gay and they're not or. whatever the story is there's a story a. belief system that limits them and so it. keeps them from maximizing their ability. third thing that could have got in the. way some other emotion overwhelm stress.

anger resentment those things just shut. down your progress so you have to make a. change fourth thing that it could be for. you well it could really be that you. just got some bad habits it's like. people about 52% of what most people do. in a day and I don't know where they. come up with these stats some say 48. some say 52 roughly half is on automate. automated it's it's habit you're not. even thinking right that's for sure and. what's good about that is you don't. think about driving your car what's bad. about that is you get stuck doing the. same things over over and over thinking. the same thoughts having the same.

feelings not really changing so you have. to say oh there's some habits that need. to change I I want to lose 24 pounds and. my first thing in the morning is go to. Starbucks and have a mocha smoker. whatever and it's just you're not going. to get there you have to have a. different set of habits and then the. fifth one is or were you missing a skill. like for example some people don't know. what to do financially they don't have. invest and so they don't do anything and. then they wake up figuring out why am I. so broke well you're broke because. you're a consumer you're not an owner. you know so you have to look at what. what skill do you need to get is there a.

skill for running your business when I. started my business I had no skills I. had passion I had desire I had hunger I. had great abilities but I didn't know. how to run a business so I learned those. skills now I've got 114 companies we do. 7 billion dollars in business across all. kinds of different Industries you can. imagine it's like it's the most fun. thing in the world because I know how to. do it so if you know what you really. want and you face the truth and find the. real truth then you got to put a massive. action plan together and that just means. not a perfect plan but just what are.

some things you do immediately start. making progress because as you make. progress new insights will come to you. and then the fourth one and I'll finish. with that the others are quick is just. you have to then do the hard work you. got to slay your dragons you got to slay. that limiting belief or that anger or. that hurt or that sadness you got to. create that compelling future you got to. go get that skill and then after those. first four steps you'll have momentum. now you just need a daily practice. something that puts you in the place of. doing the right thing each day so it. becomes a habit you need to measure. measure more often when I take over a.

company the first thing I do is measure. more often and I find the things that. matter and I'll measure them not once a. year then you have a bad year measure. once a month you're not going to have. bad years you got 12 times to make it. better measure it once a week you won't. have bad months measure it once a day. and some companies when I take over I'll. measure some things three or four times. a day because where focus goes energy. flows and so now all of a sudden you're. measuring and improving you doing the. daily practice you'll then get to a. point where you can celebrate and once. you celebrate it starts all over again. cuz you'll be called another Journey. because we're meant to grow if you ask. people ask me what does it take to be.

happy you met millions of people what. does it take so many people are unhappy. well relationships are one of the keys. to that but there is one key even within. relationship progress progress equals. happiness if if you go and achieve some. huge goal I don't know if you ever done. this and then you achieve it you have. one or two experiences you either go is. this all there is yeah after you. achieved it which is horrible feels. worse than failing or you go wow this is. amazing and you celebrate but how long. do you feel good for after achieving. some great goal 5 years a year 6 months.

60 days 20 or 30 minutes 20 or 30. minutes that's most people are in the 20. to 30 minutes to maybe two months Max. right why because we're not meant to. just sit at the table of success and get. fat and feel bored we're meant to grow. and when we grow we make progress we. feel alive and what makes us feel most. alive I know in your life and in mine. too knowing you as a person is when you. grow you have something to give and what. makes life meaningful is not just a. happy life it's not always happy but a.

meaningful life is a life where you. serve something more than yourself. something that gives you the energy and. excitement whether it be serving your. kids and family or your business or. something in your community or something. in the world that's what makes it work. but we all need on the path and you can. do this with any air where are you. unhappy about my body well first step do. you know exactly what you want and why. you want it okay let's start there okay. second you know what you want why you. want it tell me have you faced the truth. how big a gap is it specifically how far. off are you let's measure it and then. what's got in the way is it fear is it.

limiting beliefs is it some form of. emotion that gets in the way frustration. anger overwhelm is it some kind of habit. you got or is there a skill you need to. get okay great let's get a plan and. let's go do the hard work those first. four things will get anybody going once. you do you'll get the momentum that. makes you. successful among the things that uh. scare people maybe the top thing that. scares people right now is going broke. as I said and the US economy feels. unstable or squirely or hard to.

understand if nothing else and most. people myself includes don't have the. skills to start 114 companies they're. just not good at stuff yeah but I would. say at least I'll speak for myself I'm. never going to have those skills yes and. um so that's not an Avenue that's open. to some people maybe most people and so. how what you know like you you just have. a book out Holy Grail of investing in. which you talk to people who've been. successful in investing very successful. but if you could just lower the bore a. little bit for the average person who.

doesn't have a ton of money to invest. who's really worried about what's coming. what would you recommend before I even. talk about investment the most important. one is understanding what allows someone. to have abundance in their life and I. grew up dirt poor I think you know and I. had four different fathers and they were. good men and we had no money and no food. and the reason you know I know you know. I don't know if I told you but two years. ago I think I last saw you and we've now. completed the billion meals challenge I. decided I want to feed a billion meals. and we did it two years early we just.

completed it last year now I'm doing a. 100 billion meal challenge but why not. cuz I'm such a good person cuz I grew up. poor we had no food and so I look back. at those days and go why were my fathers. good men why were we broke no matter. what good times are bad and why did they. lose their jobs at various times and my. original teacher was a man named Jim ran. he was a personal development kind of a. business philosopher and one day I sat. down with him and I said I got to ask. you a burning question like how is it so. unjust that here's a teacher who can. barely survive and then hedge fund. manager over here makes a billion.

dollars a year and he said Tony that's a. good question he said think of it this. way we're all equal as Souls but we're. not equal in the marketplace I so what. do you mean he said well I'm not being. negative but if somebody works for. McDonald's that's not designed to be. your long-term job right it's designed. to get you as a starter job and it. doesn't pay very much because anyone can. do it today they got pictures you don't. even have to speak the language 100% And. you can do that job and learn it within. a few hours so it's not very valuable so. it doesn't make a lot in fact now it'll. be replaced by machines lots of.

companies are working on that now in the. fast food industry so there's not a lot. of value now the guy that the that did. the billion dollars that you have judged. about Tony he said those teachers you're. talking about some are great I'm sure. you've had some great ones some are not. so great and he said and there's no. standard and there's a limited number of. people they affect there's nothing wrong. with that it's beautiful but this guy. that made a billion dollars made $25. billion for his investors which include. people's pensions their backgrounds when. other people are making four and five. perent he made 38% so they're doubling.

their money every two and a half three. years versus doubling their money let's. say every 10 or 12 so he's adding. massive value and I'm not saying you. need to be one of those people but what. you do need to do is what's missing in. our culture everybody's trying to figure. out what am I going to get from the. government what am I what support why. why is things do I want looking at the. system instead of myself and he said. instead do more work harder on yourself. than you do your job find a way to. become more valuable than anybody else. in the marketplace and if you. continually do more for others if your.

focus is how can I do more for others. than anybody else you'll win that. formula I got at 19 years old and I've. lived it it it felt real to me I mean. the way I kind of live anyway but I made. that the basis of every company I've. ever built and so the companies have. become successful because everybody in. that culture is how do we do more for. anybody else in the industry and you do. that over and over for years you build a. brand and then people seek you out and. you succeed so the first thing is what. can I do to become more valuable in the. marketplace uh they asked Warren Buffett. the other day they asked him what how do.

you about inflation and what should we. do about inflation and I remember when I. interviewed him I asked him what what. was the best investment you could ever. make and I thought the best investment. he'd ever make and I thought he'd say. Coca-Cola or you know Geico I know the. company's invested in he goes Tony is. what you teach I said I teach a lot of. things which one and he said well he. said I have all these ideas but they. would have died on my lips but I learned. how to communicate he went through Dale. Carnegie he said that skill was the most. valuable skill and he said I tell people. if you want to do well on the inflation. and inflation's 8% 5% 10% all you got to.

do is be 8 10 12 14 15 20% more. effective more productive how do you do. that you invest in yourself he said. that's the first investment you do no. one can tax it and it grows if the. dollar goes down and we go to shekels if. you're a great doctor you're a great you. know uh web designer you're a great. whatever you will be paid extremely well. but you have to be focused on adding. value and you got to become more. valuable yourself so that's where it. starts Second Step I've written three. number one bestsellers and two of them. the last two were Financial ones this.

would be my final third one in the. trilogy and the first one I interviewed. 50 of the most successful Financial. people in the world the ray do the. Warren buffets the Carl icons to find. out what do they do different and to. find out is the game winnable because. after 2008 it feels like the game is. rigged against people game winnable. exactly and so I went out and I thought. I can ask some journalists that they'll. tell me their point of view that's great. let me talk to people that started with. nothing and have become the most. successful in the world in their section. in their business and so I got chance to. have access to those people and one led.

to another and wow it was a four and a. half year journey and I wrote money. Master the game out of that I was able. to show yeah you absolutely can win the. game First Step answer your earlier. question you've got to start becoming an. owner instead of being a consumer our. entire society makes you a consumer so. you buy an Apple phone every year two or. three but you don't Apple stock what are. you thinking right the most only way. you're going to become wealthy is either. start a business or become an owner of. businesses you don't have to be a great.

entrepreneur then you just have to. invest in some smart people in that area. and so the process of learning how to do. that by just doing two things taking a. percentage of what you earn no matter. how little it is and locking and. automating that to go on an account. where you don't see it that's the first. discipline there's a guy I wrote about. my first book Theodore Johnson worked. for UPS never made more than $14,000 in. a single year retired with $70 million. he was a driver everybody loved him he. lifted everybody's state if he was where. is Theodore but a friend of his said.

we're going to take 20% of what you earn. and we're going to make you wealthy I'm. going to tax you 20% he said I can't. live on 14,000 year he goes we're going. to automate it it's going to disappear. you're going to adjust but that money is. going to be your future that money. compounded through just investments in. the stock market and UPS to 70 million. he gave away 35 million while he was. alive so you don't have to be a. superstar business person you got to be. an owner so that's number one two I. wrote unshakable because I knew I don't. know when nobody knows when obviously. the markets are going to crash obviously. there's going to be a crash as there was. in 2020 I read it before that and I just.

showed people how to be unshakable that. time how to win during that time this. book though I I got really excited. because when I wrote those first two. books I learned four things that every. great investor does really like Ray do. is a macro investor somebody else might. be a value investor like you know Warren. Buffett there's all different types of. investors they all 50 of them agreed on. four things first this sounds stupid. they're all obsessed with not losing. money which is the opposite of most.

investors we're trying to figure how to. make money because they know if I lose. 50% on a stock I don't need to make 50%. to get even I got to make 100% I had. 100,000 it drops to 50 I can't just go. up 50% I gotta go up higher than that to. get back there so they're obsessed with. that but how do you do that well Warren. Buffett has a philosophy says rule. number one investing don't lose money. rule number two see rule number one well. that sounds really nice how the hell are. you going to do that second principle. they all agreed on something that sounds. complex the most important part of your.

investment future you don't have to be a. genius is what's called asset allocation. big words all it means is you have a. certain amount of money invest $1,000 do. a million dollars doesn't matter you. have to have a pre-designed way you're. going to do that that says I'm going to. take some of this some percentage 10 20. 30 40 50 and put it in something that's. secure meaning low risk probably low. return but over time it'll compound like. it looks like grass growing until it's. it's it's toris in the hair another. percentage of my money I want to put in. areas that are more high risk.

potentially higher return but if I lose. it all I need to make sure my security. bucket kind of takes care of me and so. they laid this thing out each one of. them laid it out for me and they never. bet the whole Farm on one thing that's. why they succeed pretty simple third and. I'm going to show you what I got in this. book that blew my mind why I wrote this. book in a second it relates to asset. allocation third principle was you got. to look for what they call asymmetrical. risk reward these words are so big all. it means is. where can I invest with the least amount. of risk with the most amount of upside.

so if you look at really wealthy people. you think they take giant risks it may. look like it like I don't know if you've. met Richard Branson but he's a friend of. mine and Richard he's risked his life in. so many ways going into space going. across the ocean going in balloons but. if you look about how he invests his. whole thing is what's the downside how. do we protect the downside how do we. make this asymmetrical so when he. decided to take on you know the fight. with you know British Air ws and start. his own Airways what was the biggest.

risk what do you think it would. be I I government regulation One prices. the biggest risk is buying all those. Boeing airplanes well of course so you. just assume most people say well I got. to buy them and that's the risk no no no. he negotiated for a year and a half with. Boeing to made a deal that said I'm. going to buy all these planes but if. within a year I can't make it work I get. to give all the planes back to you at no. loss to me whatsoever he had nothing but. upside no downside that changes the way.

you feel dayto day right yes um you know. Paul tutor Jones is one of the greatest. investors in history I've coached him. for 24 years unbelievable guy uh he made. back in 1987 when the stock market. dropped 20% of a day still the largest. percentage in a day he made people 100%. that year he made more money anybody he. can imagine brilliant guy coached him. constantly his whole thing is I'm gonna. make an investment I want to risk a. dollar think I'm going to make five I. might be wrong but I don't want to. invest till I feel like I got that kind. of upside if I'm wrong I can invest. another dollar and I still can make four. he can be wrong four times and still be.

okay so that idea is huge and then. finally one is diversification which. everybody knows don't put all your eggs. in one basket one piece of Real Estate. One anything oh that's great those four. are pretty pretty useful I wrote this. book called The Holy Grail investing. because as I'm sitting down with Ray. doio one of the greatest investors in. history he has $195 billion dollar that. he manages for even countries and. Pension funds he's the got the greatest. returns ever in 2008 when things were. down you know 35 38% he made 8% to give. you an idea just genius Ray and I have.

become good friends over the last 13 14. years and one of the times I first asked. questions of him I spent 10 hours. preparing for it was supposed to be a 45. minute interview which went for three. hours you know and Ray was great because. he gos I get it we bounced off each. other but one of the questions I asked. him then was what's the single most. important investment principle if you. nothing else that would make you. successful he goes Tony I struggled that. for 22 years and I can tell tell you the. answer he said I call it the Holy Grail. of investing that's why the book's.

titled that it's after what Ray taught. me and here's what he said I finally. figured out that the biggest challenge. is loss and risk everybody wants upside. but to get more upside take more risk. it's not right for everybody he said but. I've discovered if you have eight to 12. uncorrelated Investments you'll reduce. your risk by 80% and increase your. upside now what does that mean. uncorrelated most people know most. people invest in stocks and think the. econom is going great if it's going not. so great they invest a little bit more.

in bonds when one's doing great the. other tends to do it they're usually. uncorrelated but in 2008 in 2020 that. wasn't true they all dropped yes right. and if you go to your broker goes I. don't know what happened it's. predictable happens all the time so he. explained to me lots of depth I won't. explain here about why that happens but. he said here's what's unbelievable Tony. he goes if you have 8 to 12 that are. uncorrelated investments he said you can. sleep so nicely at night and still have. great returns so I went to go apply that. well it's hard because so many things.

are correlated today and if you go to. the average person they're investing in. stocks and bonds and maybe real estate. investment trusts REITs but they often. get very correlated and then nothing. works but there is another asset class. that most people know nothing about. called private Equity private credit and. private real estate and if you go to the. fortune 400 and say what most. billionaires in the world what industry. Tech no real estate nope Financial. Services yet but it's not hedge funds. that go up and down is these guys of. private Equity they're the kings of the.

financial world it's mindboggling and. one of the reasons is they go out right. now there used to be 8,000 companies you. can invest in in the stock market. there's only 3,700 now they've dropped. Dro dropped dropped if you the S&P 500. people are familiar with 24% of that is. five companies it's all concentrated in. a small place not a lot of ways to be. uncorrelated so these guys go out and. buy companies in the old days they try. to leverage them but now they actually. do something cool they find a better CEO. they find better marketing they put. better technology and they put in AI.

they build the company up they buy it. build it up and they sell it and they. have time because when you invest with. them your money's tied up for about five. years and most of them they have a great. business model they're making 2% of year. whether they make you money or not and. 20% of The Upside why do people invest. with them for the last 35 years I want. your audience to hear this is. mindboggling private Equity around the. world has outstripped every stock market. in the world in its returns so we'll. take the S&P 500 that people are. familiar with probably here in the US.

over the last 35 years it's produced. 99.2% compounded on average a year. that's amazing if you're getting 5% your. money's going to double every 14 years. when you're at 9% only takes eight years. to double your money but private Equity. average private Equity at 14.2 for those. 35 years and what does that mean that. means you're compounding 50% faster so I. wrote this book as I went into the. question how could people get bigger how. could they get to the that goals faster. with less risk and I know the people in. the world that do it so I started.

interviewing 13 of the biggest guys in. the world running hundred billion doll. funds who have produced 20% or more. compound and not 14.2 here's the last. part I know thr all the numbers at you. just so you get the picture for everyone. at home if you put a million dollars 35. years ago in the stock market S&P at. 99.2% that's worth $26 million today if. you never did a thing with it if you put. it in the same private Equity at 14.2. it's $39 million for the same time and. the same amount of money so that's why.

when you go to wealthy people remember I. said asset allocation the latest study. show ultra high net worth people have. 46% of the money in private assets. private Equity private credit you know. all of those pieces and only 29% in. public market so you want to have both. now how could I write this book this is. only for wealthy people it always. annoyed me that the richest people in. the world the government actually. regulates and won't give the average. person the opportunity you have to be an. incred credited investor yes right. you're familiar a million dollar net. worth or $200,000 in income is the.

minimum to be able to do that then you. get these doors open to you right. there's a new law that the Congress the. house just passed it and Senate's now. taken it up it was bipartisan it passed. the house already just a couple months. ago they're taking it up now that allows. anyone to not have to have that money to. Simply take a test and then all of a. sudden you have the same quality. Investments that have these huge returns. available to you potentially anyway than. you've never had access to before a lot. of people buil the business and sold. that made money they don't not invest so. once you take the test you can do this.

and the best part of it all is there are. opportunities and we can talk about them. I know I'm been talking forever here but. that allow you to do things that only. the wealthiest people in the world would. do because when I saw this I said okay. now I can find my 8 to 12 I got a. broader audience different types of. Investments that aren't correlated this. is exciting but then I went to go make. investments and it's kind of like um you. know going to the best club in New York. and you got the money but if you don't. know the right people you're not super. attractive you're not getting in right. or you have a Ferrari the new Ferraris.

are all sold in advance to people that. already own a Ferrari right you just. can't get one so I would get little. pieces here and there because I was Tony. Robbins or I had a friend or something. but not huge not the amount I want to. invest one day I'm sitting down with. this friend of mine Paul Tudor Jones He. former partner with his started his own. firm and I said I'm so frustrated I see. private Equity is the best investments. in the world but the best guys it's. impossible to get in or you get a little. tiny sliver he Tony can I tell you where. I make my the majority of my investments.

and This Guy's super successful so I'm. leaning in yes help me goes there's this. place in Houston a group called Cass. that taught me something I didn't I said. Houston I'm expecting him to say New. York London Singapore yeah he goes. That's off the be path but they're the. best at this he goes there's a way for. you where you don't have to try to get. in where you can buy a tiny sliver of. the ownership of the companies that own. all those funds and then you get the 2. and 20 you get cash flow and the grow. like you owner right side by side with. them I said what and he started.

explaining to me how that happens and so. now I own a piece of 65 different. private Equity firms like Vista hundred. billion doll firm written by one of the. smartest people I know Robert Smith he. he buil things in this SAS industry I. have them across different Industries. they're all multi-billion dollar 10 20. 30 40 50 hundred billion dollar firms. and I have a sliver of each of them as. an owner and then I don't just get one. fund I get all the funds the ones they. did in the past the ones they're doing. now the on they do in the future so. that's just one example another example.

is people were trying to get Returns on. on bonds forever now they've gone up you. know four or five% they're reasonable. but forever they were at zero because of. interest rates right so people started. looking for you know how do I get a. better return and they started investing. in junk bonds back in 2021 junk bond. market went like this you know they call. it the high yield return Market yeah cuz. there's risk that a company huge risk. and they're only given 3.9% but in a. world we're getting one one and a half. and two people started saying I'll do it.

I was making investments in private. credit cuz see Banks a lot of them as. you know Silicon Valley and so forth. have had challenges they all tightened. over the last 10 years company's money. they go to these private Equity guys. they're really good at evaluating and. they make loans to them well guess what. when people were you know trying to get. 3.9% on these big risky things I was. getting 9% on private credit and you. know if you own your house and you have. a you know fixed rate mortgage and rates. did what they've done the last two years. you're okay you still got.

3% but if you have an adjustable. mortgage it's different right a floating. rate well business loans are on a. floating rate so those firms that I own. where they were only company to. businesses money to businesses a five. and six% now those same they've adjusted. they had to so now they're paying us you. know 11 12 13% for the same loan it's. less than 1% failure rate amongst that. Marketplace any bank would die for that. so these guys are so smart so it's like. like less risky now the limitation is. your money's tied up for a period of.

time can ask a dumb question why I don't. no dumb questions um I have some dumb. questions here's one why would um that's. the question I asked I know why would. why would you go if you're seeking to. borrow money why would you go to the. private credit markets rather than a. bank oh because the banks aren't loaning. money to a lot of those companies do you. know many companies are from 100 million. to three billion is this giant market. and they have a real rough time now if. you're going to JP Morgan your Apple is. easy to get money and they don't need it. anyway but it's easy to get that but if. you're one of those smaller companies.

under three billion tough to do it Banks. extremely tough to do at Banks so guess. what they open the market for them and. they develop a relationship they want to. borrow again private credit guys know. you're good they make another loan for. you so it's great for them but I'm not. just making those higher returns I'm. also making the 2 and 20 along the way. it's it's mind boy I'll give you a third. one I always wanted I grew up totally. poor and I always wanted to own a sports. team because I wanted to be a. professional baseball player I used to. go to the Dodger Stadium way back in the. stadium back there the cheapest seats.

and uh I always wanted that and so at. one point I finally made enough money. that I could participate in the building. of the lafc football club I got to be. one of the early investors and designed. help design the club and it was fun. Stadium the whole thing but the. microscope I went through for a year to. get qualified beside your money is. insane a new law was pass over the last. three years that a few firms have been. able to participate in because they. don't use leverage and you can now. invest in companies and get a little. slice of teams multiple teams so I work.

so hard to have the LFC now I have a. piece of the Golden State Warriors I. have a piece of the LA Dodgers I have a. piece of gon Red Sox I have a piece of. the of the Pittsburgh you know uh how. you call it the hockey team I mean it's. it's amazing and what's amazing is this. used to be putting butts in seats but. what this is is something not correlated. to the stock market nothing at all when. we have inflation they charge more for. the hot dog and people pay it cuz they. have Fanatics that's what fan means. right f herricks are people that first. of all you've have legal Monopoly no one.

else can compete with you in that City. it's pretty amazing second of all you. got fanatic fans third of all you have a. business that does well even. inflationary times and if you know. Michael Jordan paid what 200 I think it. was $38 million for his piece of his. team NBA team he just sold it 12 years. later for three billion and kept some of. it that's the kind of growth in the last. 10 years the growth across Major League. Baseball NBA hockey and soccer which are. the ones I own together have averaged. 18% compounded per year so to give you a.

sense like at 20% your money is doubling. every three and a half years you know at. 14% about every five years so if you. want to get to your goals quicker these. are fun ways to do it and they never. were available before you won't find. this in any book that I'm aware of. anywhere in the world because it's kind. of part of this network of people but. you can become that now because you'll. be able to tap into this just by either. being qualified or getting the education. to qualify yourself and taking the test. what's your view that's fascinating what. is your view of debt so a lot of people.

feel like they're trapped because they. Max it on their credit cards honestly so. what do you do about that well you have. to pay it down you have to develop a. plan you got to a spending plan and or. find a way to earn more by finding a way. to add value some new skill new ability. some new business some new you know. hustle that you're going to do on the. side but I think the biggest thing you. got to realize is if you take money and. you borrow money to buy a flat screen TV. that's pretty idiotic because that's. going to depreciate it's going to give. no value but if you borrowed some money. to buy a tractor for your farm that's.

going to make you more productive you'll. be able to pay back the loan and be more. productive and your business grow so the. question is are you using it just to. survive or get things or are you using. it to get more resources when you use it. for more resources then debt can be very. valuable for people but too much debt. will stress anybody out and too much. debt will take any company down if. they're. imbalanced so you in other words you've. got a more flexible view of it there are. times when you think Deb is wise in. times when it's unwise and it's for not. only the times it's what's it for is it.

for increased productivity is it for. something that's going to expand your. capacity your skill your ability tools. for your business tools for your career. or is it just for a purchase of. something you probably should just wait. on because want you to spend that money. you're paying interest on it now High. interest I mean credit cards are now. just insane they were insane before but. I don't know I saw the other day I don't. know if it's accurate I I saw that the. average was over 20% now I mean that's. insane to borrow money at that level for. some consumer item so you would you. would opt out of that immediately I'd.

opt out of that and I'd start paying. that down and then I'd start to take a. percentage of my income even if it's. super small and say I'm going to use. this to be an owner I'm going to take it. off the top and then I'll figure out how. to invest it but I G to have that. automated by my bank or by my Investment. Company so I don't see it and I'll start. to adjust and then I start to have it I. mean look at people don't understand. they have all heard of compounding right. the richest people in the world don't do. it by getting rich how many athletes. have you interviewed how many movie. stars you interiew interviewed that were. Rich they made $10 million a year Kim. Basinger used she was the highest paid.

actress of the 90s won Academy Awards. was getting $10 million a picture went. bankrupt uh we both know Mike Tyson a. good friend of ours right and Mike I. love Mike to death he made a half a. billion dollars in income and went. bankrupt right so that's not the way. that you get wealthy you get Wealthy by. taking a little bit of money over time. and compounding it so I tell parents. teach your kid who's. 19 put $300 a month away sounds like a. lot but they don't have any overhead. they can do it put in the stock market. average returns 8% over time 8 to 10.

don't let them touch it and if they. started at 19 and just do it to 27 years. old 300 bucks a month the total amount. is like 28 grand over those eight years. never invest again they're set right. let's say they have a brother he starts. at 27 same amount of money 300 bucks and. does it to least 65 he's put $138,000. roughly in and he's done it for 38 years. not eight years he has less money at the. end because compounding the first guys.

got 1.8 million and all they did was. invest for8 years 300 bucks a month put. it in the stock market the second one. has 1.5 million but he didn't have as. much time he took longer to do it he. started later so he didn't get the same. level of compounding so compounding just. like the million versus 139 million 26. for 139 it's both getting in the game. and it's where you put it and so this. book is trying to show people where you. put it and then I interviewed 13 of the. Masters the universe and found out like. what is their approach and ironically. it's what I taught you earlier I.

mentioned earlier their whole focus is. not to just buy a stock when it's down. or buy a company when it's down they. want to buy company right but the whole. thing is how do we add value how do we. take this company and make it more. valuable than it's ever been and then. take it public or sell it to a bigger. company and that's where they make their. profits and their other value is they. don't drop as much because when markets. go down they can buy when markets go up. they can sell because they've tied up. your money for five years so all your. money can't go in those types of. Investments because you need some. liquidity but it's if you're going to. want to try to maximize to get to a.

retirement in the world we're in today. might be nice to have the smartest. people in the world on your side and be. their partner making 2% right beside. them as an owner in the business and. making 20% of The Upside think about it. they have a these are very few of them. this small a billion dollars in funds. they're going to be guaranteed 20% right. that's what their 2% is going to give. them 20 million bucks a year for five. years they're going to make a $100. million whether they make money or not. and most of them are good at making. money so in 5 years they take the. billion to two billion didn't have to.

hire a ton more people and they're going. to make 20% of The Upside they make $300. million on a billion that's why there's. more of those in the fortune 400 than. any other industry so I said there's a. good pathway perhaps that's a path you. and I should take advantage of as long. as we're smart enough to see what's. there and willing to educate ourselves. instead of living like I can't do it and. the game's against me well there are. something so that's that's actually what. I I wanted to close on since we began. the conversation by my noting that it's. there's a sadness palpable and you.

pointed to the reality of that and then. suggested an upside to it or at least a. different way to think about it y you've. mentioned twice the perception that. people have that's grounded in some. reality that the system is rigged and. you kind of can't win you said it it. emerged after 2008 I think that's right. but it's only become more profound I. mean people really feel that way true. how what do you say to them I say you. got. your your experience of your life is not. your life your experience of your life.

is the life you focus on so right now if. I want to figure out what's wrong I'm. sure I can find a million things I got a. you know 100 plus companies lots of. employees all the world different. Industries what are the chances right. now somebody's screwing up if screwing. up is doing what I don't think they. should be up 100% I can focus on that be. all stressed out or I can focus on what. I can control I can focus on what can be. done I focus on what's great what's. wrong is always available so it's what's. right right so we've always had problems. like that study history I hear people. talking about this the worst time in.

history politically we've never been. each other's throats like this and I. don't have it with me I wish I did I. could pull it out for you I have this. little write up it's two different. posters that were during the time of. Adams versus Jefferson if you read what. they were saying about each other it. looks calm compared to what Republicans. and Democrats and liberals and. conservatives say today we've always had. it's Cycles we go through cycles and if. you know Cycles you're not so fearful. you say okay this has happened before. what do I need to to take advantage of. this but if you just go into a said of. oh my God it's rigged against me I can't. win then it's self-fulfilling so you. have to not be one of the many you have.

to think differently you got to educate. yourself one of the biggest things Jim. ran taught me is he said look if you. want to have an extraordinary life you. need to feed your mind and not let. everybody else feed it and so when I was. totally broke my mom kicked my dad Out. She chased me out on Christmas Eve with. a knife she wouldn't have killed me or. anything but I wasn't going back in that. house she was a little crazy she abused. alcohol and prescription drugs and I. love my mom I wouldn't be who I am. without my mom but it was you're bigger. than her I I am bigger than her but I. was 5'2 in high school 5'1 and she.

grabbed me hair and smashed me against. the wall pour liquid soap down my throat. I mean she was and I you know you learn. to acques but anyway my point is I was. on my own trying to figure out what the. heck am I going to do and you know it's. Christmas Eve I'm sleeping on the hill. and it starts raining I sleep in. somebody's you know uh friend of mine's. laundry room and then I I got I was felt. so depressed I remember Jim Ron I'd met. him when I was 17 saying every day you. got to stand guard at the door of your. mind he said you should read 30 minutes. a day not what comes to these days on. your phone not clickbait something.

philosophy or a skill or a psychology or. a tool that makes you better every day. just 30 minutes a day it'll change your. life because you you're feeding your. mind something different than what. everybody else feeds them and so I I put. this little fstep plan together back. then I I did it again back in 2008. because I had all these companies not. not the same number as now but and it. was rough in 2008 I my billionaire FS. were in trouble and so as my barber I. mean we all were affected by it and I. did the same Five Steps step one if you. want to be emotionally fit if you want.

to be able to say when all hell's. breaking loose I can still do incredibly. well you've got to every single day do. something to feed and strengthen your. mind so for me that's reading 30 minutes. a day or doing an audio that's easier. because I call audio net time no extra. time I can do while I'm driving while. I'm working out and I get to feed my. mind something different than all the. crap that comes to you that's designed. to get your attention and make money. from you that's right so every day 30. minutes a day and then rone used to say. j used to say to me I'll never forget he. said Tony goes I got a question for you. he said if if your worst enemy puts.

sugar in your coffee what's going to. happen I said you're going to have sweet. coffee said what if you're best friend a. family member somebody you love by. accident drops one ounce of strick nine. in your coffee what happens I said. you're dead he goes That's Right life is. both sugar and strick nine so watch your. coffee which he said every day stand. guard at the door of your mind and what. you let in because that's what's. controlling your life I agree with that. and then the second second piece I added. to it was I Learned was that your mind. is controlled by your body as well you.

can't separate them so every day you got. to feed and strengthen your body and. somewhat you got to push it beyond what. you're comfortable with today most. people are so unhappy in their work I. just read the study to the day it's 38%. of the people it's like up 33% from. before from the early days of covid are. totally unhappy in their work they want. to do something else they don't look. forward to it it's huge what's happened. they don't want to go to work because. they were to stay at home and they got. used to it but now that they're home. they're feeling isolated and alone and.

it's because the path of least. resistance will never make you proud. it'll never make you happy it'll never. make you strong you get strong building. muscle by pushing against something. that's difficult so these people are. trying to have so much self-care every. moment and be by thems and nurture. themselves that they're not growing and. when you're just by yourself and you. don't have something to serve more than. yourself you're not going to do much and. also we sat forever and the average. person I don't know what their real. weight gain was it was I read one stud. said 14 pounds one said 18 I don't know.

what's really real but most people gain. weight they were sitting doing nothing. but when you push your body to lift some. weights or to walk extremely fast or to. run or something where get in the pool. where you have to push and you get. strong it changes your emotion because. fear and anger are the two emotions that. mess up most your life your. relationships your business your life. and fear and anger are both physical you. get really fearful I if you ever felt. that in your gut or the back of your. throat you know it's physical but so's. courage courage is you're scared but you.

do it anyway but that's also physical. it's a sense of certainty and when you. push your body you get it third if. someone's listening saying how do I have. a better year third thing you got to do. is find some great role models because. in spite of all the BS you hear out. there yes I'm no dummy the majority of. people are not happy they're not fit. they don't have great relationships they. don't have great passion they don't love. their work that's not everybody I like. studying the few who do finding out what. they do and do what they do do sew the. same seeds reap the same rewards so you. find great role models role models make.

it real and then fourth you need a. massive action plan you got to get. yourself in action not wait till. everything's perfect and if you try. something and it doesn't work try. something else if that doesn't work try. something else most people tried it. didn't work and they give up it's like I. said to people how long would you give. your average child to learn how to walk. you know before you cut them off and. said dude you're just not a walker you. know your kids's going to go what are. you crazy your parents going to go kid. going to keep trying until he or she. walks that's why most people walk right. just walk so so different but that's how.

people's mindsets are right so if you if. you have a massive action F you keep. changing your approach you'll get there. and then the fifth step to me and I did. this way back then was go find somebody. worse off than you and take care of them. do something for them yeah because that. always changes the game so I was fed. when I had no money in food so I fed two. families and then four and then eight. and then a billion meals now now I'm. we're than 100 billion it you know I. couldn't even conceived that kind of. number then I did what was in front of. me I fed two families and it felt so. amazing because when I was with these.

families I didn't go as the as the. person giving it I went as the delivery. person because I didn't want to offend. them but I wanted to see the impact and. to see these families their lives Chang. and their families and their children. change everything else and the joy and. their life and I know for me it wasn't. the food that changed my life it was. that day when I got fed I made a new. belief that strangers care if strangers. care about me and my family that I need. to care about strangers it's one of the. reasons I'm here today so you can change. somebody Life by doing that but also it. creates contrast you think your life's. so difficult and you see somebody else's.

life totally right or you travel the. world and you realize America is a. pretty damn good place with all its. flaws it's as good a place as ever any. place on Earth for most people so it's. just um it's providing those steps those. little things you can do can change it. all and that's by the way what I'm doing. that's I'm doing this again this year I. want to just mention so people want to. join us it's the whole focus of our it's. a three-day seminar it's two and a half. three hours a day three days in a row. the 25th of January to the 27th starts. at 2 p.m. Eastern but we have people all. over the Earth 195 countries that'll.

attend you'll you'll be connected to. over a million people in our community. who can help you and support you but the. kind of results people got by doing that. when they were stuck at home before. because you can do it from your home or. your office with your friends family by. yourself you know I had one guy that one. stands out for me is this guy I I had. the bring him up on screen I interact. with people and this guy is in his bed. he weighed over 700 lb he'd been in bed. for six years naked he his brother died. he took some drugs to try to deal with. it those drugs affected his body and he.

had breathing oxygen he was told he'd. never be able to breathe on his own. without the oxygen in bed has to go to. the bathroom never gets up to go to the. bathroom never been out of the bed he. got so inspired that he took a not a. coat hanger but like a one of those. little light metal things and he started. doing this little daily practice of. doing these exercises and I gave him you. know a task I said you do these things. you get to where you go to the bathroom. you get to where you can drive a car. again I'll fly you to my seminar as my. guest and we'll take Next Level we'll. have you walk on fire we'll do the whole. thing he got inspired he did this got.

muscle strength got off the oxygen made. it to the bathroom I think it took him. three months he's now 700 lb he's lost. 310 lbs to give you an idea came to the. seminar transformed his life and he. never would have seen it cuz he never. come to a seminar i' be in bed uh I had. this guy that was just got out of prison. I just saw him two weeks ago and um he's. a pretty tough guy tattoos all over his. body um you know people treat him mean. he got really mean he was really. horrible with women went to jail and got.

out and he had a little girl and. couldn't see her they wouldn't let him. see her and so he set a goal to start. changing himself started doing all these. little daily practices and I was some. two weeks ago he's got full custody now. the able to be with his daughter he's. coaching other people he attended the. seminar in his truck he was driving a. truck for a living getting out of prison. he pull over and he's watching on that. and so a woman who lost you know her. baby her child at 2 years old cancer is. horrific seeing her change seeing people. double or triple their businesses so we. have amazing abilities it's no BS to say.

you can go from where you are to where. you want to go but you'll never get. there with it's all rigged against me. some of it is rigged against us it's. true but that doesn't stop you from. being able to still create an. extraordinary quality of life if you. build a. path amazing Tony Robbins thanks for. having. me there's a reason you're famous I. appreciate oh I want to tell people go. to time to rise Summit the time to. summit.com no charge for it whatsoever. and you come attend from wherever you. are I should also say for those who.

don't know Tony Robbins knows more. people in the world than anyone I've. ever met in my life we have unel thank. you thanks for having. me free speech is bigger than any one. person or any one organization societies. are defined by what they will not perit. what we're watching is the total. inversion of. virtue.
