Who Is Tony Robbins?
| Tony Robbins isn't your average motivational speaker.
Tony has defined himself as the authority on the psychology of leadership and peak performance. The science of success.
What does that mean?
Essentially, Tony studies successful people, finds out what mindset and actions have made them successful, and then boils those down into simple success formulas that anyone can use to achieve breakthroughs in their own life. |
 He studies the most successful people in the world, figures out what makes them successful, and break that down into simple models, that anyone can understand.
He is probably the most famous self improvement expert out today, although he learned from his first mentor, well-known self improvement teacher Jim Rohn.
When Tony was 11 years old, his family, not being wealthy, wanted for food. At Thanksgiving, a stranger brought food to their home. Tony's father didn't want the hand-out. But it made Tony believe that "Strangers Care". And so he decided to make a difference.
At age 17, he went out and bought food for two poor families. The next year, he bought food for 4 families. His foundation now feeds over 2 million people every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This was the start of Tony's need to give beyond himself.
Standing at 6 feet 7 inches (caused by a medical condition in his teenage years), Tony Robbins became a self improvement student and proponent at age 19!
At the start of his success, Robbins lived paycheck to paycheck in the self development business and struggled to pay his $15,000 a month mortgage on his castle home. This isn't so surprising, if you listen to what Tony learned from his mentor, Jim Rohn.
Jim counseled Tony that, because he came from a poor background, and had a poor mentality, he needed to act wealthy. During the early years of Tony's success, he would put 3 $100 bills on the outside of his money clip (even though there was only $5 in between those $100 bills!)
By focusing on certainty, clarity of purpose, making decisions, and taking massive action, Tony went from making $38,000 to $1,000,000 (Yes, one million) in a single year.
With 30 years experience under his belt, he has reached millions of people with his books, tapes, infomercials, and live seminars.
He became really famous for incorporating "firewalking" into his live seminars, many years ago. A practice still popular at those Unleash the Power Within seminars today.
| Tony Robbins: "I'm not a motivational speaker. I am the WHY guy. I want to know WHY you do what you do." |
Robbins calls himself a peak performance coach rather than a motivational speaker. He finds out what people do when they are at their peak and then help them access that peak state whenever necessary. This is very different from temporary motivation.
If Tony's list of clients is any reflection, then there must be some merit to what he says. With athletes like Michael Jordan and Serena Williams working with him... as well as world leaders like President Bill Clinton, the Royal Family, Nelson Mandela, and others... he truly has worked with and counseled some of the most successful and driven people on earth.
