summarize, title, apply, " First off, what an amazing morning. Anybody else have tears all morning, or just me? And he's my brother. I get to talk to him every day. Um, what an amazing day. What an incredible group of humans. There's one thing you got to realize. You guys are so on fire. You're lighting up the chat. We can see your faces, your smiles. That energy you give gives it back to us. That's why Tony left me a message last night. We talked this morning on what an amazing group of humans at such a crazy time in history. So I just got to say, congratulations for being here. Congratulations for taking action, taking a Saturday. Everybody talks about wanting more. You're willing to do it. I'd love to know real quick, raise your hand or put new in the chat if you're new to Tony. And if you're family, put family in the chat. I'd love to see. So raise your hand if you're new. It's about half the people. I can see hundreds of you on the screen. Family, new, family, new. Awesome. And who's already had some amazing value this weekend, right? Before I, before I get to that exercise Tony was sharing, I can't wait to share with you something I do every month in my life. I feel like it's moved the needle for me more than anything else. I got to be honest about Tony. My life is kind of before Tony Robbins and after Tony Robbins. And that's a true story. And I'm not too proud to say it out loud. He was really this inflection point. You know, I, I'm so grateful that he chose this path because if he didn't choose this path, then I don't know if I'd be on the journey that I'm on. You know, we're from over a hundred countries. We have different languages, different backgrounds, different families. But you know the cool part Tony brings together? All of us who have one thing in common. We all know that we're meant for more. Whether that's more success or more joy or more love or more health or more connection. Raise your hand if you know you're meant for more and you're ready to make 2026 the year that you can get it. Right? You know, as I said, nobody's showed me the paths and the patterns to success like Tony. You know, many, many years ago, he shared something with me. Like I, like he just said, it was a training to fill the gap in your life. And I've modified it over 20 years. And again, I can't wait to share it with you because it keeps me focused. It accelerated my success. It keeps momentum. It makes it so today's not the end of three amazing days. It's the beginning of a new you. It even disturbs you when you stall. It makes sure that Monday, because it's coming, life sometimes wants to reel you back in. As Tony was sharing earlier, isn't it easy to be excited, to be motivated, to be inspired? And then life slowly brings you back and you don't even know when you gave up on your dreams. And that would be the last thing Tony would want for you. So I'm excited to share this. But before that, before, and I'll take about 10 minutes to share, I got to give a little history here. You know, 29 years ago, I bought personal power. Some of you have that opportunity now. And it's more advanced. It's got AI, right? And it was the first time I ever purchased anything like that. And I devoured it. I realized a couple of things, the biggest shifts in my life, that life happens for me, not to me. Anybody feel that this weekend? What if life happens for you, that you could change your story, you could change your life, that your past, even though if it was tough, could be the wind behind your sail, not the anchor holding you back. I could even blame my parents in a good way for the man that I became. Everything shifted. And I couldn't wait to thank them someday. I feel blessed that we're dear friends and get to do great stuff together. But that shifted. But also something really important happened to me when I listened to Tony. I realized that the fastest way to get from where you are to where you want to be, and we're all human, we're all dealing with the human condition and the things that slow us down or stop us, but the fastest way to find someone who's already done what you wanna do and model it. You pay for speed. Many of you are smart enough to be doing that already. That's even when I went into this industry because it was so impactful. And when Tony and I finally met 14 years ago, one day became, you know, one hour became a day, a day became week after week and it became a friendship where we've gotten to do so many great things. And the last thing I'll say, and I'll get into this, is I've been blessed to meet presidents, to meet billionaires, meet some of the most successful people in the world. I don't say that to brag, I say that sometimes you got to be careful when you meet your heroes. The person who writes a book on kindness yells at the waitress. The person with time management products is always late. And I got to tell you, Tony Robbins, if this is the first time you're meeting him, He's the man you think he is and more. He does more in the invisible than anyone I've ever met. He inspires me to go deeper. He inspires me to be stronger. He inspires me to be the man I'm meant to be and impact others. So before I go on any further, I want to say, love you. I appreciate you, Tony. And if we could give Tony a little love in the chat, and then we'll get to work. All right. So before I get into this next, I want to tell you a moment in my life that anchored a lot of these things because a lot of times, I mean, the last three days has been unbelievable. And it's here. It's on the edge. You're in state. You're ready to move forward. But sometimes there's things that just anchor it in. And this one did it for me. About probably 10 or 12 years ago, I had my whole family go to Mexico for a family reunion. And my stepdad, Lenny, who had been in my life since I was little. He's like a second father, a really great man. We all go to Mexico. I'll make this story quick. And it was my mom's high school boyfriend. He went off to the army. It didn't work out. They got back together. So in love. But while we were in Mexico, his colon burst and he almost died. And while he was in and he was bleeding really bad, he asked for me. He didn't wanna talk to my mom or anybody. Our whole family was there. He wanted to talk to me. And I walked in and he had lost so much blood. Those in the medical field will understand. He lost so much blood in his body that they had to lift his feet up so blood would go to his head so he could even talk. And he looked at me and he just held my hand and he said, if I don't make it. I'm like, you're gonna. He said, if I don't make it, he goes, I just wanna tell you, I should have loved your mother harder. I should have started that business she begged me to start. And he went through this laundry list of things that he should have done. And I gotta say, he survived that. He lasted a couple more years and him and my mom had amazing few years. But that shifted my life. It proved everything that I believe. I don't wanna live a life of almosts and should haves. And I saw it and I tried to do everything I'm empowered to realize, like, I think Tony uses the rocking chair analogy. I think of, imagine getting to the end of your life and whoever you believe your maker is plays you a video of the person you could have been. More brave, more bold, more confident, more joyful, more success, more freedom, more of you unlocking that creativity or having passion and intimacy in your life. I don't know what it is, but if you watch that at the end of your life, what would your wish be if you saw who you could have been? Put it in the chat. What would that one wish be? I've asked a lot of people this and it's always to go back. Right? Who would like to go back if you had that opportunity, right? Well, here's what I want to say before we move forward, is wish granted. Because you're here today, you're at this incredible event, and you have the opportunity to make changes now, right? As Tony said, the best time to change was last week, last year. The second best time is today. So, this is the moment to stay connected, to learn new patterns, to do something bigger, do something that scares you, and lean into who you're meant to be. All right, who's ready to do a quick exercise that I learned from Tony Robbins that has shifted my life? And I'm gonna tell you, playful out on this one. Light up the chat because you'll help every, you'll help other people as well. Let's go over the whiteboard. All change, I'm gonna start here. All change starts with being honest. And I look at where you are to start, where you are right now, not physically, but where are you in your life if you're really honest? Why are you here, right? If you think about it, like a GPS, right? Think of GPS. We need a starting point before we can get to our destination. True? Right, so put in the chat, why are, where are you right in this present moment with your relationship, with your health, with your career, with your income, with your beliefs, with what you desire? You know, sometimes, sometimes you even gotta go to the dark side and be brutally honest. You know, you can be blessed and still be uncomfortable or unsatisfied where you wanna go. We should all be blessed. 170,000 people die a day. We didn't. We are truly blessed, but it doesn't mean you need to say, this is good enough. So when we are brutally honest with ourselves, we can get disturbed with inaction. Tony always says it takes the most energy to get the rocket off the ground. So sometimes we gotta say, I'm unhappy. I'm currently in a place of discovery. I love it. Getting started again after a rough few years. Uncomfortable, ready to move, ready for what's possible, right? My career, I want a next level career. I want next level health. I'm ready to move. No more regret. I'm ready to move, starting over, right? This is that emotion, that GPS starting point that gets you ready to go to the next level. So if you know where you are and...

“From Awareness to Action: Embracing Your Next Level with Tony Robbins”

Summary:
The speaker opens by celebrating the energy and commitment of the participants, emphasizing gratitude for being part of a transformative community. They share their personal journey, crediting Tony Robbins for catalyzing life-changing shifts, including learning that life happens for you, not to you, and modeling those who have achieved what you want. Personal stories, including a near-death experience with a family member, illustrate the urgency of living fully without “should haves” or regrets. The speaker encourages honest self-assessment as the first step toward transformation, framing it as a GPS: knowing your current position allows you to map your path to growth in relationships, health, career, income, and personal fulfillment. The session aims to inspire participants to lean into discomfort, confront limitations, and take actionable steps toward their highest potential.

Application / Analysis:

  1. Gratitude and Energy Amplification:

    • Recognize and feed off collective energy in any group setting—it increases motivation and engagement.

    • Example: When leading or participating in workshops, acknowledge contributions to create a feedback loop of positivity.

  2. Modeling Success:

    • Identify mentors or models who have achieved what you want, then study and emulate their strategies.

    • Apply in personal or professional life by breaking down the behaviors, habits, and mindsets of high achievers.

  3. Life Happens For You, Not To You:

    • Reframe challenges as fuel for growth instead of obstacles.

    • Reflect on past experiences and identify how they have shaped resilience, perspective, or skills.

  4. Avoid “Should Haves” and Regret:

    • Act now rather than waiting for the “perfect” moment.

    • Create a personal accountability system to pursue long-held goals without delay.

  5. Brutal Self-Honesty as GPS:

    • Regularly assess your current life position across key domains (health, career, relationships, beliefs).

    • Use this awareness to identify gaps, set measurable goals, and track progress.

  6. Leaning into Discomfort:

    • Growth requires confronting fear and uncertainty.

    • Develop practices (like small daily challenges) that gradually expand your comfort zone.

Key Takeaways:

  • Transformation starts with awareness, gratitude, and honest self-reflection.

  • Mentorship and modeling accelerate progress.

  • Life’s challenges can be reframed as opportunities.

  • Immediate action prevents regret and opens the door to your next-level self.
