Summary
What if failure wasn't the end... but the beginning of your breakthrough?
In this powerful 15-minute intervention, Tony Robbins works with Anna, a young Inner Circle member, on how to deal with failure and the feeling of "losing time," while keeping her mind fresh and positive. Tony shares the truth that success isn't about everything working out — it's about learning from setbacks and using failure as fuel. Every disappointment becomes feedback, every obstacle just a speed bump on the road to lasting success.
Tony introduces his RPM system — Results, Purpose, and a Massive Action Plan — to give Anna a clear, practical framework for moving forward. He also shares a moving story from his friend Peter Guber's childhood, illustrating that persistence, not perfection, creates true achievement. The ultimate lesson: if you turn failure into learning, failure doesn't exist.

| 0:19.0 | What's your question, Anna, how can I help you? |
| 0:22.6 | Well, my question is how to deal with failures and to keep the mind always fresh and positive |

| 0:56.0 | Well, two things. |
| 0:58.0 | First of all, dealing with failures, this is very similar to some of the other people in a little different way. |
| 1:05.0 | We have this delusion that success in life is everything you do works the way you expect. |
| 1:11.6 | And in reality, the most successful people's already mentioned earlier are the ones that have failed 10 times more than you. |
| 1:17.2 | So they learned more faster. |
| 1:19.1 | They were willing to fail more often and they didn't store it as failure. |
| 1:23.2 | That's the problem. |
| 1:24.5 | When most people don't meet their expectations, I'm supposed to do this by now. |
| 1:28.3 | Like I said yesterday, you know, like most of the time in the early part of my career, I overestimated what I would do in a year. |
| 1:34.8 | And I was disappointed. But I underestimated what I do in a decade or two or three or now four and a half. |
| 1:41.6 | Right. And so our expectations are part of the problem as far as |
| 1:45.6 | that's concerned. But also, you need to develop the skill. It's like so many people start a business. |
