What I learned from Tony Robbins


Reader! You just have to read this. I realize that it's been a game-changer for me!

I was at a 4-day seminar last week with Tony Robbins. And even though I attended the same seminar 3 years ago, this time something hit me that is so key to making lasting change.

The #1 Mistake

But before I share what this is, I'd like you to know the number one mistake that many people make... It's starting their transformation journey with "the how to" (Uncle Tony calls this your Strategy).

Have you experienced this? Exercise programs that are started but never finished. Business effort that feels like an uphill battle. Relationships littered with recriminations.

Don't get me and Uncle Tony wrong, strategy is very important. But it's not where you start.

The First Step is Key

According to Uncle Tony, the starting point isn’t having a clear vision (that’s part of creating your strategy). The starting point and key shift is to change "how you feel" (Uncle Tony calls this your State).

This is how you feel inside. It's what makes you feel empowered instead of helpless. It's what makes you feel "can do" instead of "impossible". It's what drives you to keep moving forward. This is the foundation of lasting change.

This got me excited because that's exactly what I do with Release! My clients switch from being triggered to relaxed. They let go of old stories and find new empowering truths about themselves. They feel more ready to handle life!

The Second Step Follows without effort

Then what happens, according to Uncle Tony, is that your Stories about yourself change. The science of transformation calls this our "meaning-making". It's how you interpret the events in your life.

Why was I given more responsibility? Did they really love me? What does that say about me? ... The answers to these questions change the way you approach life's challenges and issues. It drives your feelings of pride, shame, love, guilt around life events.

The Last Step in it's place

And when you have set up the above foundations for change, Uncle Tony says that only then should you move to actions and Strategy. Your mindset is now robust enough to withstand the knocks and bruises as you fight to win your prize!

You then feel free to take big action, to learn, to adjust, and to conquer!

So remember, State --> Story --> Strategy, in that order. If you feel blocked in executing your Strategy, check your Story or your State.

And Reader, if this resonates with you and you feel that you need help changing your State, don't be a stranger. Email me and I'd be happy to support you.

You can do this!

Well, my ego has taken a beating many times in my lifetime. But this time I'm sharing is something I believe most of you can relate to. I've always been proud of my performance at work. It was a matter of fierce pride that "my work speaks for itself". I was good. I was on the ball. I was a recognized expert. I gained respect and my reputation preceded me... It was part of my identity. So switching to being a business owner, particularly a service business, was hard! Launching an offer and...

Disclaimer: Details about this client has been anonymized to protect his identity. Reader, have you ever heard of anything as bizzare? He came to me with a challenge. His goal was to earn a million dollars a year. But he can't seem to get past $50K a month, no matter what he tried. A client would cancel at the last minute. Or someone would ask for a discount. He would get close like $49,760 but never more than $50,000. In a panic, I wondered "What kind of limiting belief causes that?!?" But I...

I didn't know what I did this time. But my mom was on a roll again. "You ungrateful child! I drove you to swim classes. I took you to piano lessons. We paid for you to go to the best schools. I stayed up to teach you when you were a kid." and on and on the list went. I couldn't get a word in edgewise. And even if I did, it would just prolong the torture. Better keep my mouth shut and ride it out as usual. But this time I swore the "I will never be dependent on anyone ever again!" When I grow...
