another point of view.
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I actually registered only to give my 2 cents about my experience of all these audio tapes / self-improvement programs and such from Tony Robbins.
First of all I don't have anything to do with his business.. in fact the first time I bought his program Personal Power II I was a drug dealer who used to sleep at 3-4am because I thought I was insomniac and I didn't have any chances with women .. only getting laid once in a while with a "ugly face / nice looking body" kind of girl who I only could think of as a F*ck friend... I had started studying in college but the more time passed by the more I was getting addicted to drugs and the less I was doing well in my study.
Basically I didn't have any experience at all, I didn't want to go on with what I had started studying for a carreer and I was completly lost gaining and losing money in a dangerous underground world.
So what can I say about the subject. First I think that it motivated me a little bit more to study the program, to be commited and to actually force myself to do the exercices only because i didn't want to look stupid having invested 500$ on a program I wouldn't even use. So weither you pay for it or not might not change anything but I know for myself that I didn't want to consider the purchase as another "loss". And also, now that I bought at least 1 program, I don't feel guilty or even less motivated to download other programs which I find to be really useful like "Power to influence people" and such. I still consider like I paid for it even if I download them for free.
So what happens when you REALLY DO THE EXERCICE .. REALLY GET COMMITED TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.. REALLY DISCIPLINE YOUR SELF TO LIVE TO HIGHER STANDARDS ?? .. I guess that's the major difference between those who failed to get the results they wanted and those who do.
It takes time.. a lot of time to get the results.. changing your life in 7 days or 30 days is bullshit, I totally agree with that. It takes 21 consecutive days for the body and mind to get fully conditionned to new behaviors. From where I was starting, I had A LOT of work to do on myself. I guess 5 years later I can consider I am a totally new person from what I was back then.
Since I bought personal power 2.. I had started using it but I wasn't really commited and too cought up and in reaction to actually get the results I wanted. I listened to the tapes and read the book for about 2 years and here's what actually happened..
I was hoping to change my life by investing in something but I was always making stupid investment.. I one day thought about what would be the best investment I could do that actually would really give me money. And I realised that the only thing that really worked was selling drugs.. so I started "investing in myself" and I happend to start building a good stack of money..
I knew it wouldn't last forever but with the "skills" I had gained and the experience I had in that area, I figured if I could get enought money to invest seriously in something that would worth it, I guess it could be a good strategy.
So one day, one of my friend asked me if I wanted to start a business with him and invest with him in another contry, which had a really good potential.
So I thought that was the best oportunity there is. I could be far away from all those people who depended on me and have time on my own to get a fresh start.
During the next 3 years, while building our company from zero, I actually stoped using drugs, started waking up early in the morning, learned a 3rd language, builded my self-confidence to get chix I only dreamed of back then, I started meeting with people who are the leaders of the biggest companies in the contry... and now we're selling 100 000 of our products per month and I started earning the money I always dreamed of.
This would never had been possible if I didn't get DISCIPLINED and TOTALLY COMMITED .. With the personal power program, I learned how to change my beliefs and values to be aligned in the good direction to succeed.
So my only point is this: If you start listening to the program.. it's like 2 lines heading for the same direction.. one represents your current direction and the other the "desired direction" . If you only listen to it.. it might incline 1% and you won't even see any difference at all. If you listen to it consistently and get the ideas.. maybe a little bit more .. But if you listen to it, take notes, do the exercices, make plans for the future, visualize, practice, repeat, repeat, repeat.. listen again, get new distinctions, get really commited, condition yourself. You will really get the results you are looking for.
You guys judge on your own, my only purpouse was to put some "balance" on the positive side of these programs.
It costs too much ? go download it for free in mp3 and whenever you get the chance to gain profits because of it, just buy the real thing and offer it to someone else who deserves it for a gift.
that's all I had to say, I hope it will inspire other people having read a real testemonial from a loser who turned out to be a winner.
