Dean Graziosi recounts leaving car repair/tow-truck work and rental-property ownership to enter the self-education industry after watching a Tony Robbins course. Despite family skepticism, he invested about $250,000 (largely on credit cards), persisted through early momentum, and urges listeners to not waste their inner potential.
About $250,000.
He put a lot of it on credit cards.
When I went from fixing cars and having a tow truck business and apartments. And I told my family I was going to go into the self education industry because I watched Tony Robbins course and I wanted to teach people. I wanted to be in this industry. You can imagine how nuts they thought it was, especially back then, before the Internet. I had to invest about 250,000 bucks. A lot of it I didn't have. I put it on credit cards in their lens. I was a fool. I was an idiot. I already started getting momentum. Why would I ruin it? In my eyes, I knew I had more to give the world. And thank God I didn't listen to them. You know what you have inside of you, don't let it go to waste.
