  • When I was in my 20s my marriage my, business and my health were all failing. I had less than $400 in my checking account and I spent almost all of it on a Tony Robbins tape series that I saw in an infomercial on late night TV. It was the best decision of my life. Applying what I learned in those tapes continues to help me every day. I’m in my 50s now. I’m retired, still married to the love of my life and more engaged in life than I’ve ever been. Thanks Tony!

    Tony, 4 years ago I was sleeping on my managers couch. Watching you helped me take my career to another level. I'm making over 6 figures, running my own office, and still just scratching the surface! I am super grateful for you. One day I will have enough money to hire you to speak to my employees!! See you soon! I don't take NO for an answer!

    He starts to sweat when is going to be close to 18min and he already knows he can't finish in time... But the way he found the way to finish is genial, cause after creating big engagement with the audience, create curiosity on them and that push the CEO of ted to give more time. That is an example of resourcefulness. Give an excellent speak when the time is not enough, the slides are messed up by staff and the audience is sceptical. 👏👏👏
  • @keegancan
    I don't know if you guys caught on to this but the resourcefulness means ALLS YOU EVER NEEDED WAS YOURSELF!!!
  • @TerenceKearns
    That was 2006. What a legend. I really needed to hear this. Love this man.

    I was there in Hawaii on 9-11. She didn't play the recording in the room since she wasn't on Larry King until we all returned home. And what the Pakistani man actually said was even worse than what Tony reports. He said, " I would have flown that plane myself." A roar broke out in the room of 2,000 people. Still, I've attended all of Tony's live events and worked as a volunteer Crew for years all around the country. I love him and Sage dearly.

    Life changes when you MAKE DECISIONS and follow thru. Make a decision and get on with it. Don't dwell in your sadness.

    I watched this over and over from 2008-2012. Great summary of 6 human needs. The original version had some swearing in it! Way more impactful!!
  • @dgontar
    What you're supposed to do is use your gifts. I think most of us learn about our gifts in childhood, or in adolescence at the latest. We contribute the most and are the most fulfilled by using the gifts God has given us.

    I soaked up Tony’s words when I read The Giant Within. I truly feel if one integrates his teachings, you don’t need much else to thrive in business, or LIFE! Love Tony! ❤️🦋🌀🙏☮️🎼

    I always feel like I need to clear my throat while hearing his voice!

    Tony's message about understanding what drives human behavior resonates deeply. I appreciate how he emphasizes that while we all have the same fundamental needs, we go about meeting them in wildly different ways based on our individual beliefs and emotions. This talk is a great reminder to take time to examine our own motivations, values, and beliefs. If we want to change the world, we must first understand what makes people tick.!! Thanks for sharing this inspiring video!
  • Its about his intention, we all get the intention he has when he talks and because its 100% real and from the heart, we listen.
  • @glennc3757
    I'm happy I stumbled upon this just before the midnight hour on Dec 31st going into a new decade. Thanks Tony, you friggin rule. Nobody spells it out so eloquently and as articulate as Tony does.
  • @dennisjesse10
