Tony Robbins' net worth is $600M

He's coached Bill Clinton, Andre Agassi, Oprah, and Marc Benioff.

He teaches his wealthy clients (and credits his success to) these 7 simple concepts:

1. Hard times create incredible opportunities if you can be unreasonable enough to believe anything is possible.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man" ― George Bernard Shaw

2. “Progress equals happiness.”

When life progresses you get a sense of fulfillment.

The impact is cr*p though if it’s selfish fulfillment.

Progress that helps other people at the same time is the real goal.

That’s where a sense of meaning comes from.

Making progress gives you something to give.

We need progress to feel abundant so that we have more than enough to give away to those who need more.

It’s the circle of life.

3. History teaches us what’s about to happen

• "Good times create weak people.
• Weak people create bad times.
• Bad times create strong people.
• Strong people create great times."

Tony thinks we’re at stage 2, where weak people are creating bad times.

The unbelievable thing we need to do is rebuild ourselves back into strong people again.

The ingredients are:

- Habits
- Discipline
- A focus on mindset/psychology
- More execution, less complaining
- Self-learning through books that hold wisdom

4. Become a learning machine

Many people don’t know Tony’s #1 skill is learning

He’s not that smart but he’s always looking at future trends

He says the secret to learning is immersion

If I drop you in a small Italian town & you can’t leave, you’ll be forced to learn how to speak Italian.

You can simulate these immersion situations in real life. Try it.

5. Don't run out of energy

It’s far too easy to run out of energy.

Example: Startups don’t fail. Founders simply run out of energy.

• 20 years ago it was all about task management.

• 10 years ago it was time management.

Now it’s about energy management.

Stay with the people, processes, and places that help your battery stay at 80%+

How do you get more energy?

- Eat more plants
- Drink plenty of water
- Remove energy leaks
- Spend time with more high energy people
- Chill the hell out more to recharge your batteries

Tony’s unbelievable answer:

Helping others is the secret to energy.

And when you help other people you get luckier, richer, wiser, healthier.

Anyone can meet their own selfish needs. Meeting the needs of others, though, is the secret to more energy.

6. “When your identity expands your whole world expands”

Learned helplessness is an identity.

It’s easy to be a victim. It’s easy to think someone is going to save us and ride in on a golden chariot to make everything better.

It doesn’t happen. Hollywood lied. You gotta build the chariot yourself & find the horses.

The trick is to look at the labels you use to describe yourself.

Change your labels, change your identity, change your life.

7. Pattern recognition is the secret to high performance

Tony says they get good at spotting patterns.

Every skill has a pattern. Study the greats and look for commonalities.

Then steal the commonalities & iterate on them through consistent repetition.

That’s how you become the Tony Robbins of your field.

Tony Robbins got rich by writing on social media to build a massive audience

That's how he exploded his wealth to $600M. You can do the same.
