Anthony Robbins and Personal Power
Anthony Robbins is world famous for being a master motivator and a top performance coach. He has worked with individuals, professional athletes, and companies both large and small.
Tony has opened up and shared his own personal story of success with the world through his seminars, audio and video learning series and books. He is well known for producing results with quick turnarounds. Tony's ability to help people quickly turn around any area of their lives is legendary.
If you didn't know who he was before, you may have seen him in the 2001 comedy movie, Shallow Hal, starring Jack Black. Tony plays himself, as he hypnotizes Jack Black's character into seeing a different view of the world.
Famous for his infomercials with ex-football star Fran Tarkenton, he has offered his Personal Power home audio course to the public for years. A complete approach to personal change in audio format, Personal Power was a breakthrough in course content, methods, and marketing.
With Personal Power, Tony's program brings together a number of different systems and techniques that people can use to change anything they want about their lives. It is packaged up in an audio course, which he personally recorded. This definitely gives it a personal touch and a flavor all its own.
During the course, you get to hear Tony describe his techniques along with his personal story. I found this course to be extremely effective. Tony tends to be very animated, and his presence comes through, even in audio. It's an entertaining and results oriented program, but it's very demanding so be prepared.
Motivational speakers and personal development gurus had been around for many years, but when Tony appeared on the scene, he took motivation to a more personal level. His system emphasized speed and results over the traditional, slower therapy methods. At the same time, he also brought his program to the masses.
What was at one time accessible only to high powered executives and corporations, Tony brought to you and me. By creating a system that could work for all, yet was individualized, he introduced us to the concept of a personal life coach, before we even knew what it was.
Prior to the Anthony Robbins home course, Personal Power, and its updated version Personal Power 2, we learned Tony's techniques from his books. In his book, Unlimited Power, Tony describes neuro linguistic programming, or NLP, upon which a lot of his techniques are based.
NLP is used as a way of reprogramming your thinking in order create life change. It's focused on results and is a highly flexible, individual system for personal growth.
Tony's NLP based techniques can empower us to take control of our lives and shape our futures. Instead of relying on traditional therapy and advice, Tony explains that if you master the concept of how your brain works, you actually go beyond therapy. By becoming your own therapist and personal consultant, you become able to change any feeling or behavior in just moments.
I recommend you look into Tony's methods and see if they fit. I think you'll find, as I did, that the convenience of a home audio series is a valuable tool for both quick and lasting change.
Anthony Robbins has a legion of followers, and probably as many detractors. His methods are powerful, but his most powerful methods are most successful if you are good at visualizing. If you are not, then you may have to work a little harder in order to get good results. But, if you are looking to make sweeping changes that lead to what Tony calls massive action, then Anthony Robbins and his personal power techniques are for you.
