This video is going to breakdown three clear steps that will help you shift your mindset
and focus on achieving success in life!
Tony Robbins is one of the most foremost life coaches in the world today, probably the best
known and has sustained incredible success for around 30 years now.
His achievements are nothing short of phenomenal and fundamentally, he's come from a very humble
background to achieve all that he has.
Here, we look at some of his most important lessons that have helped him achieve his goals,
as we breakdown three steps that will help you get a breakthrough in life, putting you
well on your way to achieving your life goals, and ultimately achieving success.
I won't waste any further time, instead let's get straight into learning the three principles
from Tony Robbins himself, beginning with...
Strategy Whatever path you choose to follow in life
and whatever goal you wish to achieve, fundamental to achieving it will be your strategy.
You see strategy can provide a structure to achieve success, and with all of the resources
we have today available at our fingertips proven strategies can take literally minutes
to find.
That isn't to say it's going to be easy or instant, as after all it's critical to apply
the right strategy.
For example, if you're looking to lose weight, then eating an unhealthy diet without exercise
clearly does you no favours.
However, on top of this, there are many fads and quick and easy diets that supposedly guarantee
results extremely quickly to help you lose weight.
The problem is that these diets often have notable negative effects on the body that
will cause you health issues in the long term, and in some cases, in the short term too.
Here's the thing, sometimes the most attractive strategy simply isn't the right strategy to
apply.
In the case of weight loss, managing a well balanced and healthy diet mixed with recommended
levels of exercise is fundamentally the best proven and most effective strategy, not least
because of the benefits you'll get in your long term health.
Sure it may not appear as sexy as the quick win strategies being put in front of you,
but focusing on the benefits for the long term, it's proven to be the most effective.
Equally important is understand whether the strategy is applicable now, because it's important
to understand that timing is critical and confirm that your information is coming from
a valid source.
For example, an athlete can use figures in history as examples to follow, but if they
follow the training methods from 50 years ago as opposed to those applied by modern
athletes, well it's only natural they'll fall behind their peers.
This is critical in understanding strategy, some of what might have worked in the past
might still be applicable today, but we live in a different time and environment, so naturally
a lot of what worked in the past won't work now.
So we've talked a lot about selecting the right strategy, but there's one more vital
thing that needs to be understood here.
If you don't apply the strategy, nothing happens!
Here's the thing, if you want success by following a strategy, then the most important step is
always taking action and actually applying that strategy.
Fail to do this and you simply can't progress towards your goal.
This leads us to the next point, which is you need to understand the power of your...
Story Let's be clear on exactly what this means,
simply put...how you communicate to yourself is critical in how you act in life.
The problem with all of us, and I include myself in this as much as anyone, is that
we're quick to make excuses about the state of our lives, rather than be willing to take
responsibility and control in our life.
Think about it this way, say you're at work and would like a promotion.
Often those who commit to working to that promotion will likely tell themselves the
simple fact that if they work hard enough, they can get recognised for their efforts
and earn that promotion.
However, on the other side of the coin here, you'll find people who will tell themselves
the story that they can't earn a promotion, maybe their boss doesn't like them, they don't
have the skills they need or there's too much competition for the job.
Here's the thing, who out of these two people are more likely to earn the promotion?
Sure enough the one with some semblance of belief may not succeed, but at the least they
have a chance.
The one who doesn't believe in the possibility of earning a promotion, well...simply put
they're not even allowing themselves to play the game.
You see a negative story will kill hunger and kill your drive, literally stopping you
from achieving success in life.
When you lack hunger and drive, you lack the motivation to act and the lack of action ultimately
means no progression.
Simply, if you don't move forward in life, you stay still and will be left behind as
everything around you evolves.
The thing is many blame a lack of resources, such as money and time, on their lack of success.
But rather than saying they lack resources, the key is to be resourceful.
Tony Robbins is the perfect example of this, he grew up in poverty and was struggling to
earn enough to survive.
It was his ability to seek out people like Jim Rohn, who could help him grow as an individual
and fulfil his ambition to never have to worry about money again that's helped him achieve
his success.
When he didn't have money, he didn't blame his circumstances for his lack of success,
instead he was resourceful enough to seek mentors who could help him achieve success
and spent hours in the library studying to develop his understanding and knowledge of
achieving success in his field of expertise.
So you want to change the limiting story, regardless of circumstance, to be something
not just motivating, but empowering.
And this idea of empowerment actually leads us to the third step, as we consider how we're
affected by our...
State Your state determines how you think and feel,
and thus directly influences how you act.
Principally, positive and optimistic states will automatically help you feel as though
you have more control over what you can do when acting towards your goal, making you
seek and find more opportunities to help you achieve success.
And the amazing thing is your state is the fastest way to progress towards a goal.
You see while your story sustains your outlook, your state is your current sense of being
and thus will likely see you either take immediate action towards your goal, or stagnate and
fail to progress.
And the thing is, your state is completely in your control, you can choose to be in a
negative state or change to have a positive one instead.
There are numerous techniques to do this, many I've discussed in the videos in this
channel, so I won't go through all the details here, but a quick technique is to take up
a powerful and motivating pose, visualising your potential success all while saying a
few simple affirmations that are empowering.
Doing this has effects of your neurology and so directly influences your body to help you
feel more confident and in control in that given moment.
Now that we've talked about each of the three steps to help you get a breakthrough when
working to achieving success, it's worth identify the key factor of fulfilling these steps and
actually progressing to success.
That is, understanding the importance of decisions!
The thing is decisions are the key to pulling everything together, as fundamentally decisions
are what determine your outcomes.
Think about instances in the past where something important happened, in each I guarantee your
decision directly influenced the outcome, whether it was beneficial or not for you.
You see where you focus is where your mind is and being focused on the right things gives
you control.
For example take the news, if you read negative news then how will that affect your state?
You won't feel too great right?
Likewise, when you get positive news how do you feel?
You're much happier and more optimistic.
How you feel controls your state, and by controlling what you choose to focus on will determine
how you feel.
If you focus on the negative it will influence your state, thus influencing your story and
stop you from applying a positive and progressive strategy.
Likewise if you choose to focus on the right things, the present and future with an optimistic
outlook, then you'll change your state to be more positive, naturally affecting your
story to believe in the possibility of success and putting yourself in a position to be MUCH
more likely to apply that strategy to help you reach your goals.
So are you going to apply Tony Robbins' 3 steps to hitting a breakthrough?
