This post will discuss how Robbins has amassed his wealth and how you can do the same.
Early Life
Robbins was born in North Hollywood, California, on February 29th, 1960. Robbin’s life was far from normal. His mother divorced his father at the age of 7, and when he was in high school, Robbins grew 10 inches due to a pituitary tumor.
He never had a stable household as he faced a lot of abuse growing up from his mother. Robbins recalls times when his mother would chase him out of the house with a knife and pour liquid soap down his throat.
By the age of 17, he decided to leave home and never return. He never attended college and got a job as a janitor to make money.
One day, when speaking with his landlord, Tony was asking him how he got so successful. The landlord replied that he went to a Jim Rohn seminar (Rohn was a famous motivational speaker at the time).
Robbins had no clue what a seminar was, so he asked his landlord to explain. The landlord said that a seminar is when a man takes everything he’s learned over the years of his life and he condenses his knowledge into four hours.
Robbins was fascinated by the idea of a seminar however, to attend a Jim Rohn seminar costs $35.
At the time, Robbins was only making $40 a week! However, he made the decision to spend a week’s pay to attend the seminar. Although it was a costly investment for him, it would change his life.
Tony Robbins Career Highlights
Robbins was so captivated by the seminar and impressed with Rohn’s credentials. At the time, Rohn was giving personal development speeches to executives at Standard Oil, the oil-producing company started by John D. Rockefeller.
Robbins found Rohn’s approach captivating and knew he wanted to learn as much as possible from him.
So, he approached Rohn after the seminar and asked to become his pupil. Rohn agreed, and over the next few years, Robbin would take the lessons he learned from Rohn and apply them to his unique style.
Robbins became an avid reader of psychology and incorporated many theories from behavioral psychology into his approach.
Robbins perfected this approach through hundreds of seminars across North America and even did seminars for free to help perfect his craft. By the age of 26, Tony Robbins had a net worth of millions of dollars and was a best-selling author.
Tony Robbins Seminars
When Robbins started off doing his seminars, he implemented a strategy called Neuro-linguistic Programming. Neurolinguistic Programming works under the belief that everyone has a personal map of reality.
Nothing is neither good nor bad but thinking makes it so. Robbins would use this practice to help people realize that things that they think are impossible are possible.
They just have to change their mindset.
He would get people to do this by making them do a firewalk over a bed of hot embers. Most people at his seminars normally thought that would be impossible.
Showing them that they could walk on fire helped the attendees see that they had preconceived notions that weren’t true.
Innovative strategies like these helped Robbins launch multiple different seminars such as Unleash the Power Within, Date with Destiny, Wealth Mastery, and Leadership Academy.
Tickets to these events range anywhere from $650 to $3000!
Tony Robbin’s most notable seminar is now his Business Mastery seminar. In this seminar, he teaches business owners various growth strategies, systems, and resources that help them grow their businesses.
These are the same strategies that industry leaders like Apple, Zappos, American Express, and Facebook used to grow their companies.
Through Robbin’s seminars, he’s had the privilege to work with some extraordinary people like Bill Clinton, Oprah, Nelson Mandela, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Hugh Jackman.
