Tony Robbins ►we want to create a system that allows you to succeed in both areas life and
your enterprise by the way which one would you say is more valuable which one
that's not how most people live the game most you will make up the enterprise and
as they make it the enterprise they wake up and they have a tremendous amount of
economic success if they're successful and what's ironic is what makes you
successful may not make you fulfilled and so there's a big pull in our culture
to go for what's most successful what will reward you culturally with respect
or acknowledgement or stars on your chart or economic rewards thinking that
will give us freedom but how many of you have been very successful in business
and not been free ie your business as they got more successful demanded even
more from you how many have this experience AI so what I want to really
make sure that comes out of this is an evaluation of what your real gifts are
that are going to fulfill you because many of you are living a script around
your life that involved having an enterprise one really that may not be
your true nature that's not to say you can't do it it just means you can do it
you'll be stressed out of your life stressed out of your mind and so one of
the things we want to find out is how much of that is natural as a problem how
much of that is maybe unnatural unnatural meaning you're creating having
problems right now that you shouldn't be having at this stage of development
think about if a child is brand new and they have a problem with controlling
their bladder that's a natural problem isn't it but if you're 50 and you have
this problem you got a challenge if a brand new business has a cash flow
challenge it's a problem but it's a natural problem if it's a business has
been around five or ten years and it's got a cash flow problem you got a real
abnormal problem maybe you got a problem that's even life-threatening to the
business how many follow what I'm talking about here sometimes those
problems have to do with the fact that you don't understand the stage of
development you're in the most important element is for you to be able to do this
to be able to establish most importantly where you really are in your life today
where are you and where do you really want to go
what's going to create this extraordinary life and to look at it
brand new because some of you right now if you continue the direction you're
going are going to be successful and unfulfilled unhappy and stressed because
once we get you know into a dream then that dream starts to take on a life of
its own it gives us juice it gives us energy but how many forgot the dream
achieved your goal and then thought is this all there is
how many about this experience hey I that's more painful than not even
achieving it because now you've done everything you've worked with that and
you're successful and you're not happy so for some of you you're going to need
to take a look at that Michael Gerber the guy that wrote the e-myth you know
talks about why so many businesses young businesses fail and one of the things he
says is most people are not really entrepreneurs but they think that's what
they should be they think that's the sexy thing that's the most attractive
thing that's the best answer and what I say to you is you've got to separate the
vehicle from the outcome what is it that's going to truly fulfill you what
is it that's going to give you that extraordinary life what's going to make
things magnificent on your terms not somebody else's terms not your father
your mother your background what is that really separate the vehicle there's many
ways to get to that vehicle I was here in town just the other day and I met
gentlemen over here Steve Wynn's and a friend of mine who started well who
basically built most of Las Vegas and he built just recently you know the Wynn
casino now few years back 2.7 billion dollar hotel the most expensive
individual building ever personally financed individually financed give you
an idea the first estimates on the rebuilding of the World Trade Centers or
one point to one point seven billion two point six billion for a hotel
alright this man has the ability to take large risks and he has the ability to
really succeed in a major way but I bring that up because I was in town and
for our new home we were getting some we have these hot springs we're getting
some really large crystals and there's a guy in town as this crystal shop right
but he got to make an appointment to see the guy it's unbelievable so I get to
know him and talk to him and find out these great friends with Steve he's been
skiing with ski 220 years sky used to have this business he sold
the business didn't actually make that much money but he was tired
the stress of the business he said I'm just going to do what I love and what I
love to do is ski everyday so what he did was he started little crystal
business made plenty of money known as little business has set aside some money
from his previous business it gets up every day and skis has a blast it is was
unbelievable lifestyle because you know he's speed wins guess everywhere he
flies on a Gulfstream doesn't have to pay for it he doesn't pay the insurance
that's not to pay for the fuel doesn't worry about means it's managing it or
anything can you tell me about all these things he does in his life he has a
billion dollar lifestyle billionaires lifestyle but he structured his life in
a way to fulfilling we have time for his grandkids
he has time for his wife where has time for his passions he just doesn't a
different way he has this big dream he said making this gigantic business and
all did was stressing out now I'm not saying that's the answer for you but I'm
saying sometimes you got to reevaluate what's going to really make you for self
more you can cultivate that sense of wealth that sense of abundance in here
the more you can feel that sense of joy the more easy it's going to be to
financially because you're not going to be in this scarce fearful mode now
that's not enough by itself you have this great sense of abundance and do the
wrong mechanics and be a disaster true or false but if I had a they have an
area to get you started with you want to have the emotion psychological strength
is that's going to carry you through when the mechanics are boring or
frustrating or when things aren't working out your emotion your
psychologies will carry you it'll get you to keep doing it everyone knows if
you've done these studies dr. Seligman very famous for doing Studies on
optimism and in those studies you really found out people that are pessimists are
much more realistic they're much more accurate if you give them a test and you
ask them to look at something and give you a size measurement of it or to
evaluate their own success or failure in a task and every study Seligman's not
easy to the university I think Pennsylvania if I remember correctly
originally what he found was that optimists always see themselves as doing
better than they really did they basically be asked themselves what
happens to pessimists they are ten times more accurate but here's what he found
out we found out is because the people who are accurate
never push themselves because they know it's never going to work anyway whereas
the optimist sees it better than it is so they keep doing it because the other
lusion they did well we'll all do even better next time and because the
optimism they did it more often and so optimist succeed at a four to five fall
to take on the task result ultimately beyond anything that a pessimist will do
and they're not as accurate all that's a big way of saying is if you can develop
a psychology of resilience in yourself you don't have to be optimistic or fake
you can be real the realness is whatever shows up you are larger than anything
that can happen to you you are larger than any financial challenge you could
ever face who here has gone through a very tough financial time where you
didn't know how you're going to pull off but eventually you did how many times
before say ah how many have this happen more than once
in your life say I then the true history could guide you to know you can get
through this and not let you be overwhelmed by the moment but also the
gratitude can put you in that sense of wealth the genes are wealthy whenever I
bring friends there you know we have 325 acres and three miles of ocean frontage
it's unbelievable but you hope these two villages and my friends initially will
say well look at their houses look at their homes and they don't really have
electricity they don't have this but they don't feel poor if your identity
the way you define the wealth determines whether you're wealthy or not so are
there enough things for you knowing the two-thirds of planet lives on $2 a day
that you can get yourself to really feel grateful yes or no how much of your life
do you get benefits from today that you never had to create think about it I
guess have the road you ride on the library the books you didn't have to
write thank the internet that you can access in seconds and get answers just
about anything the people in your life either have to raise but are there for
you think about all the different aspects of your life if you want to be
wealthy all you have to do is associate so before we do the financial part this
financial independence is different than wealth wealth is that state of mind
financial dependence is being net position we don't ever have to work
again that if you work you do it because you really want to not give you a clue
if you get financial you you don't work you'd be miserable I
can't tell you how many friends I have a solder company made fifty million
dollars one man made almost a billion dollars and was really excited for a
while but after a while it was like bored his vehicle of his business gave
him a sense of contribution and he was always growing figuring out uh solve
problems and yet all the people he was connected to in the business all the
employees and friends and associates and he was significant because it was doing
something worthwhile and he had tremendous certainty because he knew the
business and also variety because it's always changing and now he had this
money so the real secret is to be financially free to be financially
independent you want to get well you never have to work again
but you do because you want to that's when life gets very cool when you don't
have to work but you want to you often work harder I enjoy my life that I don't
have to work that's one of the most killer experiences of life so I want to
tell you I'm not just saying this as some little positive thinking technique
I'm telling you this is the secret the real secret to shift it inside of you
and add the real value
you
