Tony Robbins Had It Wrong...

 



I was first introduced to Tony Robbins waaaaaay back in the 80's, when he started doing those late night infomercials. 


I remember listening to his Unlimited Power program I got from Nightingale Conant (remember them!?) It came on 6 cassettes. I think I listened to them so much I wore them out!

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but you have to admit he has quite a presence. 

I had wanted to see him live for many years... Well, years turned into decades...

I did finally get my chance a couple years ago at a convention I went to. The company that built the platform we use for the Private PeaceWalker Membership, brought him in to do a 5 hour program at their yearly convention called Funnel Hackers LIVE. Despite the corny name, it is actually a really cool event... and Tony was unbelievable. There's a reason he's been on top of his game for almost 40 years!

Well..

Tony recently put together a training program called the Ultimate Breakthrough 2022 Challenge. It's a free promotion, so I thought, "What the Hell. I'll check it out." 

It's pretty good, as I said, he's a motivating kinda guy...

Yesterday, (day 2 of the 5 day training), he did an exercise that was very interesting. A lesson that you'll totally appreciate. It's something that we discuss all of this time!

Day 2 of Tony's training was called EXPANDING YOUR IDENTITY.

That's right, he said that everything really comes from your IDENTITY.

He said that if you change your IDENTITY, you can change your Life.

I totally agree!

We talk about it here all the time!

Who you believe you are has EVERYTHING to do with the decisions you make, the actions you take and the Life you Live.


Here's Where He Fell Short...

It's interesting that even the great Tony Robbins lacks a certain amount of clarity regarding Identity though...

He says it... Kind of...But it lacked connecting that deepest identity that we ALL HAVE...

Well, two actually.

#1 - We are all Human
#2 - We are all Protectors

He alluded to it a few times, but he settled on more of a superficial, relative Identity. 

You have many identities. Mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter, friend, fisherman, hunter, cop, teacher, business owner, soldier... you know, we wear many hats and that's fine... 

But deeper than all of those identities lays our two deepest. 

And those are the one's that are our most powerful, especially if we are going to walk our paths as PeaceWalkers.

If you clarify those identities enough, everything else will fall into place more easily. 

You'll know more what to do in every situation. 

Decisions become simpler. Doing the right thing becomes a habit. Success is the by product of knowing who you really are deep inside. 


So, I Think Tony Had It Wrong...

He did an exercise where he had people answer these questions:

1) What was your old identity? How does it need to be expanded to create the life you desire and deserve?

2) Who are you at your core? What is your new identity?

Not bad questions really, but I think you should start with these: 

1) Would you protect yourself if you had to?!

2) Is there anyone in your life you would put yourself at risk to protect? 

3) If you knew that person was going to be seriously harmed or killed if you didn't do something about it, can you think of anything more important than protecting that person? Money? Fame? Cool new car? Vacation property in Hawaii?

Those questions can begin to uncover just how deeply rooted your Protector Identity is within you... Within everyone.

If you want to tie those questions into success in business, career and (everyday) Life, than you then have to ask yourself...

4) How does what you do (in this case... your job or business) protect Life?! 

Keep in mind that Protecting Life doesn't just mean protecting it from physical harm... 

Doesn't helping a company/person to be more successful help to employ others, feed families from the wages they make, pay for health insurance which facilitates essential healthcare needs, support the community and economy, etc, etc?

When you know your identity as a Protector and can clearly see and articulate how that Identity comes through in EVERYTHING that you do, you will be amazed at how much success with pour forth into your life!

Chew on that for a bit!

An Uncomfortable Situation

  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
