Tony Robbins has been an inspiration for millions. Love him and his philosophy or not, it is

undeniable that he has had a positive impact on millions of people. He has sold over 30-million
motivational tapes, published three best-selling self-help books, more than 2 million people

attended his seminars and another 10,000 (including myself) have attended his mastery university

in Hawaii. His core products include Get The Edge - Unlimited Power - Date with Destiny -

Mastery University and more.

Here are the top 10 lessons that I learned from Tony Robbins:

1) By altering your body's physiology, you can achieve an immediate
change of your emotional state. The mind will follow whatever state
your phsyical body is in and not vice-versa.

2) Ask specific questions of yourself (in your self-talk) to direct
and control your attention to the various aspects of the human
experience. The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the
quality of the questions you ask of yourself.

3) Get leverage to create personal change by associating an old
behavior with massive pain and the desired new behavior with massive
pleasure. Tony is a big believer in the pain/pleasure principles of
life and this applies in business as well.

4) When you get stuck, interupt your limiting pattern by doing
something totally unexpected.

5) You can condition your behavior by visualizing it over and over
again. This is not exactly unique to Tony Robbins, but he does
reinforce this message in all of his products.

6) Goal-setting strategy: Know your end outcome; Take massive
intelligent action; Have sensory-acuity to notice if you are getting
the results you desire and if not; change your approach; and change
*until* you get your end outcome.

7) Create a "Compelling future" by vividly imagining your end result
to generate enthusiasm and power within yourself. The past does not
equal the future. Find beliefs that support your goals and desires.

8) Youth is Power! This is one of Tony's beliefs. Even if you don't
have fancy degrees, your youth can still mean power, flexibility
and opportunity for your life.

9) Principles of CANI! CANI stands for Constant And Never-ending
Improvement. It's a basic tenet of Tony Robbins.

10) NLP can be useful. NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming
and there are many NLP undertones in Tony's basic tenets. He went
on to morph NLP into his own technology called "NAC" (Neuro
Associative Conditioning).
