TONY ROBBINS seminar-Reviews

[Hungry Hungarian]

There are a ton of motivated, successful, goal oriented individuals on here. With that in mind has anyone tried the Tony Robbins cd's or seminars to get to where they are or are using him now to get to where they want to be?

My friend has used Tony's techniques and swears by them. He's been to the seminars, met Tony and walked on fire. I have to admit that I see the results with him starting and growing his own gym and training center beyond anyones wildest dream. I, however, am quite skeptical about things like this and have a hard time believing that a guy on stage can change my thoughts and actions to be more successful. My wife and I are contemplating enrolling in the Tony Robbins seminar in Orlando in March at my friends urging but I thought it might be interesting to get some feedback from you guys....good or bad....before hand. Fire away!

My basic philosophy is that you can learn something useful from just about anyone. Even if you don't learn anything new, if you find that a particular person or school of thought / behavior motivates and inspires you without doing any harm, that's all that matters IMO.

I'm not sure how much these seminars of his cost. But if they are very costly, and if you feel money is an object not to be recklessly thrown around, you might first try reading a book or two of his. You can probably find them at your local library, or certainly at your local bookstore - sit and read with your coffee if you have time - it's cheaper than paying $30 for a book. Or you can probably get them slightly used for next to nothing off Amazon.

most of the guru's have charisma, they also have written books. Most of the info is in the books but if you want to get fired up, seeing them live wiill put the fire in your belly.

Well, if I was motivating you to get you to lift more, it would probally work. But would you work out just as hard with out the influenece? Same here, once Tony isn't motivating you, will you still be positive? Majority won't, but some will. You either got it in you or you don't. If you want to soar like an Eagle, don't hang out with turkeys, once the seminar is over.

Tony's book Awaken the Giant Within is a good read, and his audio set Personal Power is very inspirational as well. I dont think i would actually pay to see him in person though. If you are interested you can find his audio sets online to download for free will save you a few hundred bucks.

All very good points...thanks for your repsonses! I think anything is what you make of it, and just like this, if you go with a closed mind and dont follow any of the ideas he teaches then its wasted money on the seminar. I've watched a few of his presentations on DVD and I must say he is pretty damn motivating....and I am already a pretty self motivated individual.

Has anyone gone to a seminar or follow his training to the "T"? Any "his seminars changed my life" or "what a total waste of money!" responses?

Yes, I've used a couple different sets of his and benefited. Like anything else the benefits tapered off, but the help "reset" some of my motivations and thought processes.

I am thinking of resurrecting one of the programs and listen to it again during my cardio.

I agree with the earlier poster that you can learn something from just about anyone. One underlying point to the success many achieve from listening to these types of programs is the fact that they predefine themselves as people willing to take action to achieve success merely by acquiring and investing in the products.

I would recommend buying used on EBAY. They should be very inexpensive after you get through the ads of people marketing them new on ebay.

and btw, i think tony robbins is great. like a previous poster said the motivation itself is fleeting, but at the time i read his book i was unaware of the power of positive thinking and it was sort of a gateway for me to learn more about the power of the mind, which was permanent.

Tony Robbins has a lot of good stuff to say. He really pinpoints why some people are successful in life and others aren't.

It's worth the time to listen. He's corny at times, but just take whatever you can from it.

 

[Thor]

I do

like his books and feel like they have helped me somewhat to be more positive and to try harder at life.

Of course the motivation from an inspiring seminar... book... podcast... etc... doesn't last forever... But neither does being clean from a shower... That's why you have to do it EVERY day...
