Summary

Have you ever wondered why some people shoot ahead while others, equally talented and equally driven, keep hitting invisible walls? It is almost never about capability. It is about how they show up, how they are perceived, and how they make people feel in the first five seconds of entering a room. In this Fitness Friday episode, I break down why likability is one of the most underrated success advantages and how small habits like a real smile, remembering someone’s name, or actually listening can change the way people respond to you instantly. I also talk about the mindset traps that keep high performers stuck: over-talking, people-pleasing, and trying to impress instead of connect. If you know you are capable of more but feel like something small keeps blocking your momentum, this conversation is going to click everything into place. Tune in and take notes. This one is simple, actionable and a total game changer. What we discuss: (01:51) Why likability gets you ahead (03:29) How smiling and body language change everything (04:11) Why remembering someone’s name is a power move (05:11) The 70/30 rule and the power of asking questions (06:09) How to give genuine compliments (07:16) Why listening is a secret weapon Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

0:00.0	Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.
0:08.0	You know I'm all about finding an edge. The small daily habits that give you more energy,
0:13.9	focus, and resilience. But that's why I am hooked on monovitality. Most people are mineral
0:20.7	deficient, and that means low energy,
0:23.4	brain fog, slow recovery, and dull skin. But mana flips the switch by giving your body a complete
0:30.2	spectrum of minerals. It actually knows how to use. We're talking Shilajit from the Himalayas,
0:36.2	ormus from the Dead Sea, and marine plasma from the ocean, plus amino acids and 88 other trace minerals.
0:43.7	The benefits are real.
0:45.4	We're talking steady all-day energy, sharper focus, faster recovery, a stronger immunity plus glowing skin.
0:53.9	But the biggest win, it fuels your cells for real

1:45.9	and that's being likable. You could be the most talented, hardworking, brilliant person
1:50.8	in your industry. But if people don't like you, they won't want to work with you, won't want to
1:55.8	promote you, and definitely not collaborate with you. Likeable people get called back faster. They get invited
2:02.4	to the rooms others don't get invited to, and they get opportunities. So let's break down
2:08.4	why likability matters more than ever and five simple ways to instantly become more
