Tony Robbins The Worlds # 1 Life & Business Coach
Today we need more positive praise to offset the constant bombardment of all the negative chatter, so in the spirit of positive praise here we go …
It is such a pleasure to summarize the gift of Tony Robbins.
I was fortunate to first learn of Tony Robbins and experience his one-of-a-kind “force of nature” personality before he gained national recognition.
In the late 80s, in Beverly Hills California, I had a friend who would invite his closest mates to his home to listen to this young dynamic kid named Tony Robbins.
Tony wanted to practice in front of an audience because he was developing and refining his material.
These small gatherings would always end with some of his first fire walks in my friend’s front yard.
Tony wanted feedback! Starting with a few.
And growing to more than 4 million attendees.
Tony keeps getting stronger than ever.
So, you can imagine, I feel blessed to have witnessed firsthand one of the most dynamic and meaningful success stories over the last 40 years.
Yes, starting with a few private practice events, Tony has grown into the world’s number 1 life and business coach.
Accolades
Let’s recognize just a few of Tony’s astonishing accolades:
As of to date, more than 50 million people have experienced Tony’s teachings live or via recorded presentations.
These individuals have been from events held in more than 100 countries.
The 70 companies that Tony oversees generate more than 6 billion dollars in annual sales.
He has authored 6 internationally best-selling books.
He is Recognized by Harvard Business Press as one of the top 200 “business gurus” of today.
He was Honored by Accenture as one of the “top 50 business intellectuals in the world”.
American Express list Tony as one of the “top six business leaders in the world”.
Worth Magazine has listed Tony in the top 50 most powerful people in global finance for three consecutive years.
Also Tony has consulted 4 US presidents as well as numerous world-class athletes and “A “ list entertainers to maintain or achieve peak performance.
On a personal note “Dream home”
On a much smaller but personal scale, Tony has impacted my life in numerous ways.
One of which was the purchase of a dream home.
In 1989 my wife and I were denied the mortgage authorization on the purchase of our dream home. However, through Tony‘s advice and financial coaching, the bank reversed their decision and our dream became a reality.
Gift from God
I believe Tony Robbins is a gift from God. Now that’s a pretty heavy statement, isn’t it! So let me back it up.
Over the years Tony has helped hundreds of thousands of people rid themselves of lifelong traumas and negative baggage to then go on to live a meaningful life.
And Tony has touched millions of lives around the globe.
Aura of power
I have never met a more dynamic individual. There is an aura of power with Tony, kind of like a “Force of nature”. In addition to his 6‘7“ frame, he radiates a degree of sincerity I have never experienced in anyone else. A personal conversation with Tony leaves you feeling you are his most important focus. In other words, Tony’s interest, when talking to you personally, leaves you feeling 10 feet tall.
He Walks his Talk
And boy does he walk his talk. He is the real deal. He truly practices what he preaches day in and day out starting with his daily morning rituals.
Taking action
Since my teen years, I have spent much time listening, learning, and enjoying many great self-development leaders. Dale Carnegie, Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, and others are too numerous to mention. Lessons can be learned from all of these wise thought-provoking gentlemen.
But what has always separated Tony from these other great leaders is not that his message is much different, it is his ability to get me to take action. Knowledge without action is just information. Tony tee’s up the message so I can’t wait to write that letter, make that phone call, arrange that meeting or try that exercise, the result is action.
I always want to take action after his message.
Tony, through his knowledge, sincerity and sense of humor will always trigger me to take action.
In my opinion, this is where Tony separates himself from the rest of the pack.
Quality of your emotions
In conclusion, Tony teaches that the quality of your life is the result of the quality of your emotions. He is a master at teaching how to master your emotions.
After more than 40 years I continue to learn and enjoy Tony’s wisdom and humor.
So if you are not familiar with this force of nature known as Tony Robbins do yourself a big favor and check him out.
You owe it to yourself to discover Tony. After all, it’s just your life!
