Dean Graziosi shares how he journaled a goal to meet Tony Robbins 25 years ago, bought his courses, and eventually became his partner. The message: take uncomfortable action, persist until you succeed, and don't give up on your dreams.
We all need that little boost of inspiration, a little boost of motivation. Inspiration, transformation, whatever you need to keep the momentum alive. To be disturbed with inaction, to not fall back in complacency, not let that inner self doubt stop you. This is our culture of progress, a culture of taking uncomfortable action because that's the only way to get to our dreams, our goals, our desires, our outcomes. It's scary, but it's worth it. So today I was thinking, what could I share? I'm in Florida because yesterday I spoke at Unleash the power within, the only live one that Tony does. I should say only one in person. The virtual ones are amazing, but the personal, the in person is just equally incredible. And I got to speak yesterday, I spoke at the last, I don't know, 15 of them. And it's so amazing. If you were there, I hope I had the chance to see, you know, hope you had the chance to see and be a part of it. So what is my message today? You know, sometimes you just forget the journey in life. You forget what is possible. And I want to share this. And maybe today is not so tactical, not so strategic, but maybe it gives you opportunity to see that your dreams are absolutely attainable. If we don't stop, if we persist until we succeed, if we don't give up on us, if we don't settle, if we don't tuck our dreams away. You know, 25 years ago, I ordered Tony's course off of an infomercial. I bought all of it. I bought his course, Power Talk and every upsell possible. I bought no personal power. I bought Power Talk and all the other ones. Right? And that course fundamentally shifted my life. That's a fact. That, that's not hyperbole. That's a fact. I. I not only changed some things about me because of the personal development side, but I also realized, oh my God, Tony sold me information. It impacted my life. I want to be in this business. It truly was the turning point in my life. Hopefully, you know, he gave me the spark. Hopefully we give you the spark and you get to feel that same thing, right? But this morning as I'm taking a walk, and the reason I'm sharing this while I'm walking is what? Something else happened 20 something years ago. When I got that, I wrote in my journal at the time, someday I wanted to meet Tony, thank Tony and partner with Tony. I even wrote down, I want to speak on a stage with him someday. That was 20 something years ago. And now sometimes you not take it for granted, but you Forget. You forget. I'm going to sneak over here so I'm not in the road. You forget what's possible. When I said that I owned a collision shop, a used car dealership. I probably had about 15 apartments. I was building a couple, starting to build some houses. I was driving a tow truck at night, and I said, I am going to be partners with Tony Robbins and speak on his stage. It did not seem feasible at all. Statistics would say I was an idiotic dreamer, as probably most family members, people in my family thought. Now, I'm not saying this to brag. Please know that if you know anything about me, you know that's not my goal here. It's to inspire. But when I said that, there was no proof it could happen. There wasn't even the slightest bit of evidence it could happen. I didn't have a following. I didn't know Tony. I lived in a tiny town. I didn't have a college education. I didn't have all the money. I didn't have notoriety. Nobody knew my name. I had dirt under my fingernails every day because I was fixing cars. And I just want to give you the opportunity to. Loud helicopter going over. I want to give you the opportunity to just dream for a minute, fast forward. Not only get the pleasure to speak to 12,000amazing humans yesterday and hopefully impact their lives. I'm partners with Tony in multiple companies. I get to help run his baby company. We get to impact lives through Mastermind. This is our brainchild. We get to talk every single day of our lives. If you would have asked me 25 years ago, you could meet anybody in the world, it would have been Tony because of what he did for me. Not a celebrity, not Tony. So what's possible for you if you persist until you succeed? What dreams do you have that everybody else tells you is too far off? What dreams do you tell yourself? And then the other voice, the millimeter part, goes, that that's not for us. We'll never make it. We don't have a following. We're not great on camera. We don't have, like, all these things that come into play because the statistics say you can't. Life says that's not possible, but that's not true. So today, if nothing else, first off, I want to say thanks for being here. Thanks for staying connected. Whether you're watching live or replay, there's a million things you could be doing. You're here. Secondly, don't dare give up on you. Third, persist until you succeed. Four, take uncomfortable action. But number five, I would love for you to be bold enough to below post what's one of your big audacious goals? If you would have asked me 20 something years ago, I would have said meeting Tony Robbins, being his partner and speaking on his stage, everybody would have laughed. Nobody's laughing now. And I'm not laughing at you. You have my heart, you have my soul. You have the connection of this team. And I know sometimes dreams can seem so far away and. And some days it's easier just to say I should just settle. I get that. I've been there a million times. The two voices saying you're not, that you can't do it, why would you try? And the other voice that says, you are meant for more, don't you dare give up. And I'm telling you, you are meant for more, don't you dare give up. We are here. Sa.
