Giant Steps: How Robbins Achieved Success

A successful entrepreneur, a strategic advisor to world leaders, an award-winning speaker and an internationally best-selling author, Tony Robbins has become one of the world’s most recognized authorities in the life coaching industry. Through his seminars and audiotapes, Robbins is helping millions of people around the world live a more fulfilled life. How did he create the life he wanted for himself?

He Believed He Could: “If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you want,” says Robbins. “Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.” Robbins refused to give in to self-doubt and opened himself up to the possibilities of greatness.

He Took Action: “It’s not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know,” says Robbins. For many years, Robbins would set goals for himself and never follow through, that is until he made the conscious decision to take action. He pushed the fear of failure to one side, made a willful decision to act, and committed himself to achieving his goals, right then and there.

He Stayed Committed: “Where focus goes, energy flows,” says Robbins. “There’s no abiding success without commitment.” Because of the passion with which Robbins approaches life, he has little difficulty in focusing on his goals and committing himself to achieving them. Once he sets his mind to achieving something, he stays on that course until it has been accomplished.

He Was Honest With Himself: “Remember, ask and you shall receive,” says Robbins. It was in asking himself tough questions early in his career about what he wanted to achieve, what was important to him, and what he was willing to do to get there that Robbins was able to become the success he is today. Once he knew where he wanted to go, it was just a matter of figuring out how to get there.

He Followed His Vision: Throughout Robbins’ career, critics who question his ‘miracle cures’ brand of therapy have plagued him. But, Robbins stayed true to his core values and pursued his vision even in the face of his detractors. “Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character,” he says. Robbins embraced his vision and doggedly chased it down. It was this larger vision that kept Robbins on track even through the ups and downs of his career.

“The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way,” says Robbins. “What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?”
