Unleash The Power Within You



As many of you already know, I am a huge fan of Tony Robbins and I have been following him for at least 20 years. The last 10 years I have been spending a lot of time, reading his books and also articles written by him or his team. I also frequently watch videos, podcasts and interviews where either Tony is doing the interview or he is being interviewed.



I was going to attend UPW live in Dallas, in the fall of 2014 but life interrupted and I couldn't go. That was a huge disappointment for me and attending UPW have been a part of my ultimate vision for my life.
Well..... I finally got my chance to attend UPW and this time it was done live, but virtually via Zoom.
We were 22 500 people attending from 138 different countries. What an amazing event it was.
It was a huge party!!!
So now I am a graduate of this amazing event.
Has anyone of you ever been to this event or any other events with Tony Robbins?



UPW is a 4 day event and every day is about 13 hours filled with amazing wisdom, information, personal stories. You know Tony has now been doing this for 42 years and he as a lot to share. The good and the bad. In my opinion he is one of the best. Probably the best. One of his mentors was Jim Rohn who is another person that I have learned a lot from. You can hear a lot of Jim's teachings and wisdom when you listen to Tony.



UPW is a very energetic and interactive event. I thought my butt was going to be sore after spending so many hours in front of my computer watching it virtually. But I was completely wrong. Instead my feet were killing me from all the jumping and dancing around. Tony likes to keep the energy going and flowing.

One thing that we were told by Tony was that what we learn during the UPW event we must now teach someone else. The more people we can all impact, the better. So today I decided to share some of the things that I learned during the UPW event with Tony.

If this designates with you.....great..... and if it doesn't just leave it alone.
Take what you like and then leave the rest.



Here we go.....
Here is some Tony Talk!

Being a leader is someone that lives life on their terms.

A - See things the way they truly are. Not worse.
B - See it better than it is. Come up with a compelling vision.
C - Make it the way you see it. Your vision. Make it real. Create a strategy.

We must initiate. We must make it happen. We can't be passive.

Repetition is key. Each and every day. Practice...Practice...Practice.

If you are not doing it.....you really don't know it.

Emotion is created by motion. The way you move will determine how you feel.

The quality of your life is the quality of your emotions.

Momentum is the difference between success and failure.

Life is always happening for us.....not to us.

Your past doesn't equal the future.

Burn your boats. If there is a way out, most people will take it.

Clarity is power.

A - What does an extraordinary life look like at the next level?
B - What is preventing you from getting what you want?
C - What action can you take right now to to move you forward?




A breakthrough.....when the impossible becomes possible.

Divorce the story of your limitations and marry the unlimited potential of you.

When you start with..... HOW am I going to be able to accomplish my dream?....You will kill the dream. You must start with WHY. Reasons come first. Why do I want to accomplish my dream?
A - WHAT do I want?
B - WHY do I want what I want?

80% of success is psychology
20% is strategy

Disappointment either destroys you or drives you.

Where focus goes..... energy flows.

Either you are an example or a warning. What are YOU?

Get into ACTION. Thinking about it, won't do it. 
A - Schedule it. 
B - Commit to it.
C - Lock it in. 

When you engage the body..... you engage the brain.

When you talk..... you are only a dreamer.
When you schedule it..... it's real.

Whatever you believe.....will be.

Never Give Up On Something You Can't Go A Day Without Thinking About

                                           Your dream doesn't have an expiration date.
                                                 Take a deep breathe, and try again.





Have you ever accomplished a huge goal or dream, something that you had been dreaming about accomplishing for a while?
Has a dream that you had for a long time finally come true for you?

This week a huge dream of mine is about to come true and I am beyond EXCITED!!!!

Starting on Thursday I will attend my first live event with Tony Robbins.
It's Unleash The Power Within. UPW
For 4 days I will be hanging out live with Tony R.

This is the first time he is doing any of his events virtually. I will be part of something completely new.
How exciting is this!!!!

We will be over 22 000 people attending from all over the world and I can't hardly wait for this to start.


                                             You never know how close you are.
                                                Never give up on your dreams!


Back in the fall of 2014 I was scheduled to attend UPW 4-day event in Dallas, TX. I already had the ticket, hotel room and I was ready to go. But at the last minute something happened. Life got in the way, I wasn't able to attend the event. I was more than upset and I have always felt that I had missed out on something great.

Attending Unleash The Power Within has continued to be a dream of mine and I kept thinking about it and have kept dreaming about and now this dream will come true for me.


                                       Never give up on something you can't go a day 
                                                        without thinking about.


So, no matter what you dream is.....never give up on being able to accomplish it.
Dream on, prepare and get ready. One day the opportunity is going to be right there in front of you and then you must be ready to take advantage of the opportunity.
Dream on. Prepare. Get ready, and it will happen.


Never give up on your dreams. 
Someday.....Somehow.....Somewhere.....you will find them.

Learn To Say NO And Don't Feel Guilty About It

                                                     Feeling Overwhelmed?
                                                         Learn to say NO.




Do you feel like your life could use a little bit of calming down?
Did you know that it won't happen by itself???
You have to actually do something about it, yourself.
You are in charge of your own life and only you can change it.

Do you like your schedule?
Or do you feel like you are doing too many things?
Do you feel like you are often pulled in all kinds of directions..... and in the end you are getting very little done for yourself and the accomplishment of your own dream?

Is it time to simplify a few things in your life?

Here is a great question for you......
How much are you actually doing that doesn't amount to anything.....and that doesn't lead you in the direction of your vision and the dream for your own life?


                                            Say NO to things that don't serve you,
                               will allow you to say YES to the things that does.


Often we are doing a lot of things for the wrong reasons.
Doing a simple thing, can in the end become complicated.

How many things do we do because somebody wants us to do this particular thing?

Now..... I don't believe that it's never wrong to do things for other people, because they want us to. But if' it's going to complicate our own life and deep down in our own heart we don't feel good about it and we feel that we are not suppose to do it, then it will probably complicate our own life and make us feel bad.

If you feel that you are too busy right now, I have a great strategy for you!!!

Learn to say NO.....and don't feel guilty about it.

I don't think anyone of us like to be rejected. We all want to be accepted and liked. And of course when someone asks us do to something, they don't want to hear a NO. They always want a YES.

But if we continue to do everything that everyone else wants us to do, we will eventually end up with no life of our own. This is one of the reasons a lot of us have become so busy.....we don't know how to say NO.

                                                            Learn to say NO
                                                without explaining yourself


Here is the thing.....we don't have to be involved in 10 different activities. It's not wrong to say NO, and turn down certain activities and invitations. But a huge problem with most of us is that we want people to like us. We want to be their friend.

We must learn to say NO to people.
Of course we want to help others but if it means saying NO to accomplishing the dream that was designed for us and live our own purpose and mission in life, in order to please others, then we are out of alignment and balance in our own life.

Believe me when I say this.....anyone who is a true friend, anyone who really loves and cares for you, would rather you say NO to them, if that is what you actually want to do, instead of feeling pressured to say YES.

Any friend that you lose because you won't do everything they want you to do, are not worth having as a friend.


                                                   No is a complete sentence.
                                 It doesn't require justification or explanation.
