Welcome back to episode #270, this is going to be a long one but please stick around the whole thing! I'm sure there has been a point in time where you have invested in an event, seminar, program or course and thought to yourself, "What a waste of money!" I literally can't believe I am saying this, but for a moment, I thought I had just wasted my money attending a 4-day Tony Robbins event. I can't lie and say I didn't think that thought.

“I feel like a spoiled brat even saying this to you…” At minute 2:26 I share my honest opinion of the Tony Robbins event and how I went in with high and built up expectations. Was it worth it? Should I have spent the time and money?

“Progress equals happiness…” At 6:41 I talk about how some of us are waiting for that breakthrough and want to go from 0-100 overnight. Is there growth and progress happening or have you hit a plateau? I go into the 6 human needs that Tony talks about and why they are important and the one that fuels me everyday.

“You don’t have room to think other thoughts…” At minute 14:12 have you ever walked on fire? I did! I’m sharing my experience with the infamous firework everyone does at this event. I can’t tell you enough how empowering this was for mindset and life in general and just because someone says ‘go’ doesn't mean you go.

“The crazy girl…” At 20:26 I go into meditation and the benefits on mindset, your day and I include my experience with meditation before the event, what it looked like at the event and why it’s going back on my to-do list. I tell you what I need to do more of and work less. I’m also sharing a story of a girl at this event that stood up and asked Tony a question out of nowhere. I know we’ve all been that ‘crazy’ girl where we miss what’s going on around us.

“Beliefs are truly everything…” At minute 28:36 I’m diving into beliefs, who we are and our identity. Why you need to associate pain with things you do and the exercise we did that was SO powerful that you need to do yourself. Why you need to know your goals for every single area and the endgame of those.

“You never know who you’re talking to…” At 37:56 I’m talking about why it’s so important to model and mirror people, build connections and find rapport with other people. Second, why health is everything to our lives and how my whole world changed. I’m also sharing my favorite quotes from Tony and what I got from them!
