Welcome to the Growth Stacking Podcast. This is Dan Martel.

Welcome, everybody. We are here with the legend Tony Robbins. Tony, thanks for taking some time today.

Thanks for having me on. I'm really excited. We're going to dive into your book. You wrote the third book in the trilogy, The Holy Grail of Investing, and it is a banger.

I spent the last, there you go.

We got to get you the regular one.

The real thing.

Before I get into it, I've got a question for you.

Sure.

I was at one of your events six years ago.

I got to introduce to your work, an incredible event.

And you said something on stage that it just hit me.

You were talking about your back story

and all the challenges.

And you kind of just said, I built this MFer.

Like I built Tony.

It just struck me because I was like, wow,

like this is how it works.

When you think of like the new year,

how do you decide what areas of your life do you want to kind of go deeper on and expand? Well, I don't believe in just doing New Year's resolutions because they don't work, obviously. When people call it a New Year's resolution, 91% of the people don't follow through. That's the statistic. I don't know how accurate is, but it's probably pretty accurate. And I think it's because they express what they want, but they don't really have a path or a plan or a strategy. And so it doesn't last. And so I think it's really critical that you don't just come up with something you want to do that you have some idea of. It's like, I would tell people, if you want to make progress in anything, you've got to go on the path. if you're on the path. Well, whether it's your finances, whether it's like I always tell people if you want to make progress in anything you've got to go on the path well how do you know if you're on the path well whether it's your finances whether it's your business whether it's your relationship whether it's your body the first thing is do you know exactly what you really want and you know why you want it with enough reasons strong enough reasons to get you through if you're not clear what you want most people are what they don't want I don't want to live this way. I don't want to be this way. You know, focus goes where, you know, energy flows. I mean, energy is going to flow where you focus. So the whole focus is, what do you want with precision and then getting those strong enough reasons? And then the second step for people and that I look at is, okay, all right, if this is what I really want is I got strong enough reasons, what's kept me from that in the past? And you got to see where the gap is between where you are and where you want to be if you're going to close it, so you've got to be clear. And when I do that, I found there's really only five things that create that gap. The first one that gets in the way is fear, for almost anybody. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear not

look at some fear. But then the second one might be limiting beliefs. Like, you know, I've tried everything. Well, that's what you say to yourself. That's what I used to say to myself when I couldn't lose weight. I hadn't tried everything. I tried everything. I would have been fit. And I eventually tried lots of things and got fit and stayed fit, right? Or, you know, all the good ones are gone, right?

You know, in a relationship.

So those beliefs can keep you from... tried lots of things and got fit and stayed fit, right? Or, you know, all the good ones are gone, right?
