I now have had time to reflect on this experience.įinally, Tony Robbins is one of my customers. Besides, I believe in helping people overcome their biggest fears - like talking to strangers, or starting a company. The only thing I was afraid of was wasting more time.
This article isn't "fear-driven." I committed to the event for seven hours. I'm astonished Tony hosts events for 10,000 people at a time. I've even hosted my own seminars! Last September, my company AppSumo hosted our second annual conference, with over 200 attendees. I didn't even consider walking out of either. Both were three days long, 5–8 hours per day. A few events that changed my life were Gayle Hendricks' Big Leap event and David Deida's workshop. I've attended a lot of paid seminars before, and loved them. If that's not "doing the homework," I don't know what is. I've also publicly documented my self-improvement journey for the last 15 YEARS. ( Here are 18 books that changed my life). I've read hundreds of books and taken action, because I am 100% in on improving myself. (You can read more about my goals in 2020). It wasn't easy to eat so much food, or to go to the gym every week, but I put in the effort to reach my goals. Or how I intentionally gained 40 pounds in 2015, then got into the best shape of my life in 2016. I've had a ton of failures, and a few huge successes, because I'm constantly trying new things. I wrote about the most embarrassing and painful period of my life (then I published a book about it). I've written about depression and addiction. At many points in my life, I've been a total mess. I'm not writing this because I'm a sophisticated aristocrat who turns his nose up at self-help groups. I'm not "better than you" for walking out. A lot of my friends are big TR fans, and they all gave strong endorsements for UPW. I'm amazed by what he does (I recently shared how he gets 1 million visitors per month), and wanted to experience his coaching in person. I've read (or listened to) several of his books. I have a ton of respect for Tony Robbins. Now he just wants to act like he's more enlightened than everyone else."ītw - If you hate reading, happy to send you personal day productivity checklist: Send to me He didn't do the work, because he was afraid. I know the diehard fans - the self-proclaimed Cult of Robbins who "drink the Kool-Aid" - are already having doubts about this article. "But doesn't everyone LOVE Tony Robbins' events? Are you just a hater?" If you'd prefer to watch a video about it: If you're on the fence about Unleash the Power Within ($2,000) or Date with Destiny ($5,000). If you're skeptical of friends who say, "You have to go see Tony Robbins." I will also show you what I did after I left, and what I learned from the whole experience. In this post, I will share why I went to Tony's event, what it was like, and why I walked out.
