Anthony Robbins Live. He Just Gets Better And Better
I have been following Anthony Robbins for about 18 years or so
now, with his books and in my time, cassette tapes. It was not
until last year in May I decided to see him live in London to
determine whether this peak performance coach was as good as his
tapes. I came away from that event under no illusion that this
man was the master of motivation. His skills and relationship
with the audience was extraordinary. Within 10 days I had lost a
stone and within 5 months I had left my full time job of 19
years to full fill my own destiny and my own business
consultancy. His return date to London was February 2006, so I
decided to recharge my batteries and see if this Anthony Robbins
was as good the second time around. After all, this time there
were going to be no surprises, as I knew what was coming. The
astonishing thing was that even though I now knew the programme
of events it came across totally different. I was sitting next
to new friends with different challenges; I had also brought my
wife this time. Because there is so much audience interaction
and new questions were being asked and new problems were being
dealt with and my situation had changed since the first time, I
found myself going through a totally different leaning
experience to the first event. It fact it was almost as though I
had not been there before, although it has to be true that I
opened up quicker to those around me the second time. Anthony
Robbins has a mass of energy, he comes on stage at around 9.00am
on the Saturday and with only 30 minutes break is still there at
9.45pm. Sunday is even harder, starts at 9.00am and finishes at
11.45pm with only 30 minutes break all day. This is after the
Friday where nearly 10,000 people do the fire walk over hot
coals at 1200 to 2000 degrees. The last day is the Monday, which
is a bit more relaxed. It talks about nutrition and energy and
is hosted by Tony's trainer Joseph. At 52 years old he looks
about 30, and gives his all. At about 5,30pm it is all over and
just like last year I got in my car for the 4-hour drive home
and now I can't remember a thing about the trip. My mind is
going over my goals and what I can do, what I must do and my
energy levels and on and on and on etc. My wife has the whole
family eating healthy foods, that exercise machine that we used
to hang our clothes on has never been used so much as Tony now
has a new fan. I have 10 new phone numbers and email addresses
from extraordinary people literary from around the world, as
there were participants' from 45 countries there this time. I
came to the conclusion that Tony Robbins does not do the same
seminar over and over again. Each seminar is different even
though on paper it appears to be the same. I now know why many
people go and see him time and time again. He adapts it to suit
the audience and adds new leanings and new ideas as he himself
grows and learns. There is doubt in my mind that Anthony Robbins
just gets better and better.
