THIS is how to attract high level, successful people in your life! Your environment and the people that you surround yourself with has a huge impact on the person that you become.

Step back and take a look at your circle of friends. Do these people inspire you to achieve greatness, or does their negative energy leave you feeling unmotivated and stagnant?

If it’s the latter, it’s time to find new friends.

Is this a heartless way of thinking? Not at all. As Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with.”

The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that ‘like attracts like.’ Who you spend time with is who you become. If you want to achieve great things in life, you need surround yourself with great people. It’s that simple.

Are you ready to finally start attracting the right people in your life?

THIS is how you attract the right people in your life! I recommend that you take out a pen and piece of paper and write down these four steps:

1. Define who you want to attract

Who are the kinds of people that you want to attract in your life? What kind of qualities do they possess? If you aren’t clear on who you want to attract, then you won’t attract them.

I recommend that you make a list. The first time that I engaged in this exercise I wrote down names like Tony Robbins and Dwayne Johnson. These were examples of people whose qualities and ways of life I looked up to.

Oftentimes, this list is be based on the visions and goals that you have for your life. Find people who have already mastered the path that you desire to be on.

An example of someone that I had aspirations of attracting into my life, and who now is a good friend of mine, is a man by the name of Wade Lightheart. In my early 20’s when I was training for fitness competitions, I was exploring the idea of becoming a vegetarian. I came across Wade’s story, and he really inspired me.

He was a vegan bodybuilder, who had won national titles on a purely plant-based diet. I wanted to learn from him, so I put on a seminar and invited him to speak. He ended up speaking at my event, and later I received coaching from him and went on to develop a friendship with him that is still going strong to this day.

2. Define who you need to become in order to attract them

Once you have your list of people, define who you need to become in order to attract them into your life. Rather, who do you need to become in order for THEM to seek YOU out?

You attract who you are, and the reality is that people like people that are like them. It’s not until you elevate your status and become someone of value that others seek you out.

Who do you need to become in order to be seen by others as someone of value?

3. Become more valuable

You have to be constantly working on growing and improving yourself if you want to attract high-quality people into your life. If you are a negative person who is always complaining, then those are the types of people that you are going to attract into your life.

Read books, travel, attend seminars, improve your finances, get in better shape. Do whatever it takes in order to attract the very people that ascribe to the same way of life that you aspire to.

THIS is how you attract high level, successful people into your life. Whatever you want to attract, become that so people see the value of your presence in their lives.

4. Put yourself in environments to attract the people you want into your life

Once you get clear on the people that you want to attract into your life, ask yourself, “What kinds of environments do these people hang out in?”

For example, I want to meet people who are passionate about self-development, like I am, so I attend seminars and events where I know I will meet like-minded people and people who are already where I want to be in my own life. 

This is one of the reasons why I travel all the time, because it is a great way to network and create relationships with like-minded, high-vibe people. In the words of Tim Sanders, the former Yahoo director, “Your network is your net worth.”

THIS is how you attract the right people into your life! I hope this four-step process inspires you to take action and find the people who inspire you to raise your game and become the person that you desire to be.

I have some exciting news! Warren Buffett has revealed his best investment advice. Known to be worth $75 billion dollars, he is one of the most successful self-made investors in the world.

Warren is a role model for any entrepreneur, investor, or business person that aspires to achieve financial greatness. Referred to as, “The Oracle of Omaha”, Warren Buffett had an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age. As a young adult, he was always looking for innovative and creative ways to earn money, which is how he made a net worth of $6,000 at the age of 15.

Many of the most successful people in the world attribute their success to sheer determination and commitment to their goals. While this speaks true, Warren Buffett offers a different perspective. Although the end goal of success usually equates to making money and getting rich, it isn’t what matters most in life.

You may be wondering, “How does one man become so successful?” The answer may surprise you. Are you ready to learn how to invest, the ‘Warren Buffett way?’

Warren Buffet believes the single best investment that he ever made was a lifelong commitment and curiosity for learning. In his own words, “Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.”

When Warren Buffett was young he was terrified of public speaking. He wanted to master this fear, so he attended a Dale Carnegie public speaking class that ended up changing his entire life. Even to this day, he has his public speaking diploma hanging on his wall in his office.

You never know how one book, course, or seminar can change your entire life. Live with that positive anticipation that there is always something good that will come from having an optimistic mindset.

Chris Munger, the Vice Chairman of the Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, once said this about his colleague:

“Warren Buffett has become one hell of a better investor since the day I met him, and so have I. If we had been frozen at any given stage, with the knowledge we had, the record would have been much worse than it is, so the game is to keep learning.”

If you want to become the best that you can be, you need to adopt the mindset of a lifelong learner. I attribute most of my success in life to my love of learning. It has brought so much joy to my life, and it has allowed me to grow and evolve my online business at a much greater speed. If you look at my May 2017 Monthly Goals Report, you will see how much I invest in myself.

Who I am today is vastly different from the person that I was many years ago. I was a shy, depressed, insecure teenager who was broke and struggling, BUT I was committed to investing in myself.

If I wanted to master all areas of my life, I knew that I had to stop doing what I had always done. I found mentors, read books, attended seminars, went to workshops, and created networking events, all with the purpose of learning. I realized that what one man can do, another man can do.

Finally, Warren Buffett also believes in the power of investing in an index fund, otherwise known as a type of mutual fund with a portfolio constructed to match or track the components of a market index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500).

From a historical standpoint, the stock market has always gone up, no matter what is going on in the world. The beauty of index funds is that they allow you to own 500 of the biggest companies in the U.S. There is no better way to create a simple plan for building your retirement savings.

How much time and money do you invest in yourself? The reality is that the more you learn, the more you earn. When asked to reflect on Warren’s success, Charlie Munger said, “Warren is one of the best learning machines on this earth. The turtles who outrun the hares are learning machines. If you stop learning in this world, the world rushes right by you.”

If you are already investing in yourself, awesome. If you have yet to start, I hope Warren Buffett’s investment advice has inspired you to do so. It all starts with you.

I recently attended the Tony Robbins National Achievers Conference, also featuring Gary Vaynerchuk, & Robert Herjavec.

I would like to share with you some lessons & insights that I took from my experience. Whenever I attend a seminar or an event, such as the Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress, I always take a lot of notes.

Within 24 hours of learning something new, I review those notes again in order to make sure that I have internalized the information. Make sure that you attend live events, such as the Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress. This is one of the best ways to learn and grow.

The information and the value that you consume from a live event is incomparable to reading a book or watching a video. I’m obsessed with investing in myself because I am committed to mastery.

The knowledge that I have learned from live events is one of the major reasons why I have achieved so much success in my life.

The three main speakers at the Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress also included Gary Vaynerchuk and Robert Herjavec. I was right in the front row, which cost me more money, but it was a way more powerful experience. Tony Robbins was standing right in front of me.

At various times throughout his 3-hour talk he would grab my head and kiss it, fist bump me, and then nearing the end of the event, he came over to me and he whispered in my ear, “Write to me.” After the event, there was a crowd surrounding him, and he took my hand, kissed it and for whatever reason said, “Amazing.”

I think that he recognized who I was.  I’ve sent hundreds of people to Tony Robbins seminars and I’ve sent thousands of people to his website. I’ve always believed that the best way to attract a mentor is either to add massive value to them or by you becoming more valuable so that they seek YOU out.

I’ve always wanted to become valuable enough that my mentors know who I am and they view me as an expert in my field. I don’t just want to be a fan. As I grow my brand I know that I will attract more people that I look up to in my business and in my life.

Tony Robbins – Insights and Words of Wisdom

During the Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress, he shared some of the following insights: Condition yourself with the beliefs and emotions that you want to experience every day. Emotions are the ultimate resource. When you can tap into your commitment and determination on, that is what drives to achieve what you want in life.

Everyone has an emotional home that we consistently feel – recognize what they are and condition them.  Either upgrade your home or move. If certain emotions are negative, remove them. People do a lot based on their feelings, but you need to do things even when you don’t feel like it. Push yourself in spite of comfort and convenience.

Putting yourself in a peak state every day is the most important thing you can do for your business, life, and relationships. When you are in a better state, you will take more action, because the best of you is showing up. Obsession is the first step in achieving anything.  Make it so important that you think about it constantly.

Massive action is the cure-all. If you have limiting beliefs, take action and change your life. I always go back to the importance of morning rituals.  This is the best time to put yourself in your peak state. Live from a place of gratitude because life is too short to suffer.  Appreciate all the blessings in your life. This was one of the great takeaways from Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress.

Robert Herjavec – Insights and Words of Wisdom

Robert is a self-made millionaire. Originally from Croatia, he came to Canada, hustled, and created opportunities that have got him to where he is today. He was a great motivation during the Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress. He is worth over 100 million dollars.

One great thing that he shared during the event was a story of a conversation that he had with Mark Cuban, an American businessman, investor, author, television personality, and philanthropist. Mark said to Robert, “Do you know why you aren’t more successful than you already are? It’s because you don’t dream big enough.”

That is a great lesson for all of us. A lot of us are afraid to dream bigger and open up our eyes.  Fears, limitations, and doubts hold us back from taking our lives to the next level.

When you think on a massive scale, anything is possible.  You can have it all. Short-term goals are great, but long-term goals allow you to stretch yourself. During his talk, Robert shared the following insights:

You can be wrong thousands of times, but you only need to be right, just once.  You can fail many times, but when you find one thing that works, it can change your entire life. Always be honest with yourself. Experience and knowledge are more valuable than money.  My desire to do better every day is more important than sleep. When you are comfortable, make a change. Comfort is the beginning of the end.

A lot of people make comfort more important than hustling.  You have to be willing to sacrifice short-term gratification for long-term results. The moment that you feel that you have made it, and you get content, that is when you lose your drive and stop improving yourself. Always be improving!

Gary Vaynerchuk – Insights and Words of Wisdom

Gary believes in the importance of self-awareness; knowing your strengths and deciding what you want to master in life. It was great to see him as a central part of Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress. For myself, I want to become a master of creating valuable content.

I want to share, teach, and learn.  That is what fulfills me the most in life. During his talk, Gary shared the following insights: The most important thing online is to get attention through creating content. The single biggest reason why you are not putting out enough content is that you are a perfectionist.

I can relate to this. People think that their content has to be top production quality, which holds them back from taking action. Instead of viewing it as creating content, Gary suggests that you look at it as ‘documenting'. When you do so, it takes away the pressure and expectations.  You are just sharing your journey and your process of mastery.

That is why my brand is called Project Life Mastery – it is a process that I am pursuing, every day. Gary also shared his principle called, '51/49′. He suggests that you ask yourself, “Are you giving more value to your employees and customers than they are giving to yourself?”  Add value to your audience and the people in your life. That is the secret to success. The key to learning faster is involvement and participation. When you are involved and you show up for your life, you get more than when you are passive. 

You can learn a vast amount of knowledge, but if you have the wrong mindset, none of that knowledge will work for you.  Money is a result of the value that you add. Thoughts lead to your feelings, which lead to your actions, which lead to your results.

The first element of change is awareness – model the blueprint of successful people. Rich people believe that they create their life, whereas poor people believe that life happens to them. Find situations that make you uncomfortable and move into them.

Takeaways from Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress

What does it mean to be successful? What does it mean to achieve something and to allow this to guide you? During every speaker and the entire event, the speakers shared thousands of insights on what this meant.  There wasn’t one takeaway from this event. There were hundreds of suggestions and ideas that I can start to practice and implement.

I think the most important part of this event was the consistency with the three speakers. Each of them provided insight into what it meant to achieve something. That had everything to do with what you think, respond or react to and how you decide to move forward.

The message about falling, getting back up and continuing to be successful was one key takeaway that I believe can help everyone. It offers a different level of insights that most don’t believe in. Often, we fall and stay there. Don’t allow that to be your destiny. Make it even greater.

I also enjoyed the continuous theme of breaking through limitations and believing in the impossible. I believe that this is the way to achieve anything.

Often, when we are looking at where we are in the moment, we are caught up in the ideas of failure. We create limitations and don’t allow ourselves to look past this because it is difficult to see.

Creating a balance with the possible and infinite beliefs in our minds, and working towards achieving this every day is one of the main takeaways that is important to practice. Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress was focused specifically on that.

What Do You Believe?

I want to challenge every individual to begin believing that they can achieve what they want. You can take any circumstance, believe in breaking through the limitations and achieve just that.  During my time at Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress, I saw three successful individuals. They started out as you and I did.

They worked, they changed their mindset, continued to believe and worked toward the success that they wanted. They allowed themselves to be driven by desire and the lofty goals and ideas that we all want to achieve.

I believe that anyone can achieve the status they want to in life. Even if your goals are different, it is possible to work toward achieving what you truly wish in life. The question is always what you want to achieve. I know that I have my goals for Project Life Mastery and I will continue to accelerate until I reach these goals. I believe that you can do the same thing with anything you are trying to do with your life.

I’m sending the same messages to you that I received from the Tony Robbins National Achievers Congress so you understand what it means to achieve your goals and to recognize what is next for you to reach the breakthroughs that you really want to.

The Tony Robbins National Achievers Conference, also featuring Gary Vaynerchuk, & Robert Herjavec was an experience that I will always remember. The lessons & insights that I learned from this event will allow me to take my business and my life to the next level.

Put yourself in environments that allow you to keep the momentum going so that you can master your life. When you attend live events you grow in ways that you didn't think were possible. Self-development is your ultimate power.

I'm in Las Vegas right now for the Amazing Summit and decided that I'd shoot some videos to share a little bit about my experience.

Many people have been requesting some more “day in the life” style videos, just showing my life and what I'm up to.  It surprises me that so many people are interested in this, but hey, I guess reality TV is huge for a reason right?

The first video is a tour of my Las Vegas hotel suite at the Venetian.  It's pretty cool!  You can watch it below.

This other video shares a bit about my experience in Las Vegas, what I got up to, my experience attending the Amazing Summit for the Amazing Selling Machine.

My honest review and experience with attending Anthony Robbins Leadership Academy.

I recently attended the Tony Robbins Leadership Academy seminar in San Diego.

What Is Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy About?

• Learn to identify yourself as a leader
• Improve your communication skills
• Work with solid team leadership tactics
• Learn about psychological tactics, like NLP
• See how you can do even more with your team building

These are some of the many goals you will achieve with the leadership approach Tony Robbins shares. You will find hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to build your leadership skills from this academy.

I've previously attended many other Tony Robbins seminars in the past, including Unleash The Power Within by 7 times, Date With Destiny, and have listened to practically all of his audio programs and read his books.

As you can probably guess, I'm a huge Tony Robbins fan.

He's influenced my life in so many ways, ever since I was 17 years old.

Over the years, I've made it my goal to learn from and model some of the most successful people in the world, and Tony Robbins is definitely included in that.  I've taken on many of his beliefs, psychology, habits, and it's led me to a lot of success in my life.

Tony Robbins also introduced me to NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which I received my practitioner certification earlier this year.

In this video blog, I openly share my experience and review of Tony Robbins Leadership Academy.

If you're considering going and are curious about what you'll learn, then I think you'll find this review helpful.

What Will You Learn At Tony Robbins Leadership Academy?

There's a lot that you'll learn over the 4-day seminar.

Some of the biggest highlights for me were mentioned in the video, however, to review:

• The 7 Steps To Creating Lasting Change
• NLP Techniques (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
• The Beliefs And Psychology Of A Leader
• How To Work With And Build Teams
• How To Deal With And Overcome Adversity
• What It Means To Be A Leader

And a whole lot more, that would take me forever to mention in this blog post.

Unfortunately Tony Robbins isn't at Leadership Academy, however, it's run by Joseph McClendon III and he did a fantastic job.  The only thing I wish there was more of was Tony Robbins in the seminar.  I believe there was only two videos of him during the entire 4 days.

At Tony Robbins Leadership Academy, you're also a part of a team and each team has a leader in it.  You're working with and interacting with a lot of amazing people, which made the experience much more fun and enjoyable.

The Value Add of the Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy

I had many gains by attending the Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy that can be applied for several years to come.

The greatest part of the academy was the mixture between the practical tools and the philosophies that we all know Tony Robbins’ by. Learning NLP, combined with the understanding of how to deal with teams, was one of the many examples that shows the superior quality of these workshops.

The context that is surrounding the ideals of Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy has a different twist than the “traditional forms” of leadership.

We’re often exposed to leadership as being transformative or task-based, using corporate definitions and textbook approaches to identify who we are.

Not with this course. Instead, there is more weight on the leader. What will they do to motivate others? What can you apply in your life to make things even greater?

The shift in perspective from other leadership philosophies is so important to look at. I found that I had to look at how I worked with others as well as techniques that I used in order to motivate others and to get what I wanted from my own business.

While this is everyone’s objective, there are different approaches which are used and which allow us to excel at what we are doing. Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy is one of the examples that provides this insight.

Should You Go To Tony Robbins Leadership Academy?

If it is your first Tony Robbins seminar, then I'd say no.  I believe this seminar is primarily geared towards those that have already attended a Tony Robbins seminar and are familiar with his work.  I'd recommend attending Unleash The Power Within as your introductory seminar to Tony Robbins' teaching.

However, if you're already familiar with Tony's work and have attended one of his seminars before, then I think this event will benefit you.

If you're a coach, trainer, speaker, or someone that is in a position of leadership – then absolutely, you should attend this seminar.

Much of what is taught at Tony Robbins Leadership Academy is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is extremely powerful for producing change in ourselves and others.

In order to get really good at NLP, you need to practice it consistently after you learn it.  So that's why I say if you're a coach, then you can easily get good at these techniques by using them on your clients.

Regardless, Leadership Academy is a great experience for anyone that wants to step up and become a better leader in the world.

What Leadership Goals Do You Want to Achieve?

If you are ready for the next steps of business or working with others, then look first at your leadership goals. This will determine if Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy is the right approach for you to take.

Here’s a checklist you can use to identify what you need to look at with your leadership skills and where you want them to be:

1. How well does your team identify with what you are doing?
2. Is the working environment you are in positive?
3. What are the skills you want to improve so you can better communicate with others?
4. Does your team achieve the goals you want?
5. What are the leadership qualities you have or that you could improve on?

Since this academy is related to the personal relationship to leadership, it’s important that you assess where you are at with your own skill building. It’s also important that you look at what you want to improve.

This assessment and goal setting will define if the leadership skill building is right for you or if you need another approach.

You may find that there are other skills you need to develop first which would then be complicated by the leadership skills Tony Robbins’ offers.

I suggest that everyone look at the possibilities with the Tony Robbins’ Leadership Academy to determine if it is the right step for them to take.

I recommend ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that Tony Robbins' name is associated with, because everything he produces has tremendous value in one's life.

Right now I'm in San Jose, California for the Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within Seminar.  It's my 6th or 7th time attending the event.

That's right… it's my 6th or 7th time attending!

I have people ask me all the time, WHY do you keep going to the same seminar again and again?

Didn't you get it the first time?  Are you slow?  Aren't you already successful?  Why do you keep going?

In this video blog, I share why I keep going to the same seminars again and again… and why YOU SHOULD TOO.

Watch the video below:

The Training Never Stops If You Want An Extraordinary Life

I immediately know if someone is a failure or a dabbler when they say “I already know this stuff.”

Knowing is not enough.  You can know what to do, but not DO what you know.

You ONLY know something when you are DOING IT.  It's when you are living it and owning it that you really master something.

All successful people understand this.

They know the power of REPETITION – constantly feeding their minds and conditioning themselves.

That's what makes a MASTER at anything.  They are always training, improving and growing.  It NEVER ends.

Going to a seminar one time isn't enough for me – I understand that if I want to really become a MASTER at what I'm learning, I must continually put myself back in the environment and CONDITION it until it's part of me.  That's one reason why I'm attending the same seminar again and again.

You Are Different Every Single Time

Another thing that people don't understand is that when you re-attend a seminar, YOU are different every single time.

While the content and materials might be the same, what has changed is YOU.

The same applies to reading the same book over again, going through the same audio program, re-watching videos, or attending seminars.

When you re-visit something, you are re-visiting it at a different stage of your life.  You are at a different phase of your development as a human being.

It's almost like what you're learning is totally different for you, because certain things stand out and benefit you at a much different level.

I get all kinds of “aha” moments from things I didn't pick up the first time, or perhaps it wasn't totally relevant to me at that stage of my life.

I'm always getting so many insights.  It also will either change my beliefs or condition what I already know, which I find extremely beneficial.

Always remember:  Repetition is the mother of skill.

The more you repetitively do things, the more unconscious and conditioned it becomes for you.

The same is applied for EVERYTHING in your life.

I hope you enjoyed this video – I'll be sharing more stuff from Unleash The Power Within over the next little while.

After attending Tony Robbin's signature event Unleash The Power Within 5 times within the last 5 years, I decided to finally step up and attend his most advanced program, Date With Destiny in Palm Springs of December 2012.

Is Tony Robbins' Date With Destiny Worth It?

You are going to get massive results by attending the Date with Destiny and it is worth doing. Here are some things you will learn:

• Self Discovery
• How to Master Skills
• Reaching Fulfillment
• Growing Past Failures
• How to Create Quality In Your Life
• Creating Meaning In Your Life
• How to Reach Your Destiny

If you follow this blog at all or watch my videos, you most likely know that I'm a huge Tony Robbins fan and have been heavily influenced by his work.  This is why I've decided to add in the Date with Destiny review. It all started for me 9 years ago, when I was a shy, depressed young boy trying to find his way in this world and felt helpless to change my circumstances.  I didn't believe I could change or that a better life was available to me… until I discovered Tony Robbins and his powerful programs that began to influence my way of thinking.  Over the last 9 years, I've been through every Tony Robbins book, audio program and video that's ever been created and have taken dozens of friends to his Unleash The Power Within seminar on multiple occasions.  Every time I attended UPW, I gained tremendous value from it and my life always improved.  Date With Destiny was always on the horizon for me, but I never committed to it until I made it a goal last year as one of my 2012 New Year Resolutions.

Last year when I attended UPW in New Jersey and San Jose, I wrote a 4-part series review of the event on this blog, along with lengthy videos and details about the experience.  I received A LOT of value by doing that, as you will see with this Date with Destiny review, as it forced me to share the material with others and drove Tony Robbins teachings even deeper into my nervous system.  For this Date With Destiny review, I will be sharing details about the 6-day event and my experience of it, but unfortunately it won't be as detailed as the Unleash The Power Within Review, simply because I'm terrified by how long it would take me to complete a 6-series review of the event.  DWD was much longer, more intense, and jam-packed with even more content than UPW and it'd take forever for me to share everything that occurred during that event.  But, I will share the best of the best and details about how it improved my life.  You will be able to apply these strategies to your own life, but I will say there is NOTHING like attending the event live and in-person.  If you have the opportunity to attend this event, or any other Tony Robbins event, I'd say go for it!

Day 1 Of Date With Destiny Review

There were over 2,000 participants in attendance, from 67 countries around the world.  This was Tony Robbins 70th Date With Destiny event, and everyone in the room was more excited than ever.  Before attending the event, everyone had to fill out a detailed report and questionnaire that would elicit important information about how you operate, including your values and rules.  Going through the process helps you learn about yourself, but the information is more for Tony Robbins to study for each person in attendance so that he can add as much value as possible and sometimes work with individuals one-on-one. This is important to mention with the Date with Destiny review.

A big component that I have added in with my Date With Destiny review is that everyone is split up into teams.  There were I believe between 25 to 30 teams at the event, which means that you're not sitting with or on the same team as whomever you came to the event with.  Each team has a team name, cheer, and team leaders that help you make the event enjoyable and worthwhile.  You pick a buddy at the event which you work with closely throughout the 6-days and participate in the exercises with.  I found this extremely useful, as I attended the event by myself and quickly had some close friendships and a sense of camaraderie at the event.

Date With Destiny is a self-discovery experience.  It's an event where you explore the force that controls every thought, feeling, behaviour, and decision of your life.  This is known as your Blueprint, or model of the world, which is something that we will be exploring more in-depth later.  But, your Blueprint consists of your beliefs, values, and rules.  Most of us didn't consciously select our beliefs, values and rules, which causes us to not move towards or create the ultimate destiny we want for our lives.  By taking control of these areas of your life, you are able to be pulled towards the life that you want and your ultimate destiny can be fulfilled.

2 Master Skills In Life

Tony Robbins discusses how there are 2 master skills in life:

1) The Science of Achievement

This is something that most people are already good at, or at least those that were in attendance of the event.  Most of the planet has only $2/day to live off of, where most people in North America lives in abundance in comparison.  It isn't more achievement that is the answer for our lives, even though most of us feel we haven't achieved enough.

2) The Art of Fulfillment

What is missing in most of our lives is a sense of fulfillment.  With more fulfillment in our lives, we will also naturally achieve more and give more, but ultimately more fulfillment is required to live a rich and meaningful life. With this Date of Destiny review, you can see how there is a relationship between fulfillment, value and your success.

Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.

Robbins talks about how there are only a couple of things that will make you fulfilled, which are:

1) Growing

If you want one word for happiness, it's progress.  When you are making progress towards something or growing, you feel most alive and happy.  You don't need to be where you want to be today, but as long as you're making progress towards it you will have a sense of happiness and excitement inside of you, something worth mentioning with the Date with Destiny review.

God knows you are not made to be comfortable, you are made to grow.

Most people get comfortable when things are “good”.  But, you do not want to be just “good”.  Good is the enemy of great.  Good is the slow death.  When someone says that they feel “good”, it usually means like hell.  But people use softeners or certain words to avoid feeling how they really feel – all to avoid the truth and to be comfortable.  These softeners limit us from feeling pain.  The moment you can be honest with yourself, you have an opportunity to grow.

At the event, we learned two new meanings for certain words: frustration and confusion.

Frustration means you are about to have a breakthrough.  Anytime you feel frustrated, you should quickly convert that into excitement.  Confusion means you're about to learn something, as your brain needs to come up with something new.  Anytime you experience confusion, you should quickly start to celebrate.

Most people perceive problems to be bad.  What if problems were always gifts?  It's up to us to find the gifts.  You see, anything that doesn't match your blueprint of how you think things should be is what you perceive as a problem.  But we are the ones that create the problems, as problems are all relative.  It's the story about the problem that is the problem.

Every problem you have is life happening for you, not to you.

Tony Robbins says that the #1 problem you have is that you think you're not supposed to have any problems.  People want to have no problems in life, but don't realize that if this was the case they wouldn't grow or become stronger.  They wouldn't be fulfilled, and life would be boring – they would be miserable.  The path of least resistance will never make you feel proud, but the path of resistance will always make you grow.

The secret to life is to constantly be stretching.  If you can't, then you must.

2) Giving

The other thing that will make us fulfilled is a sense of contributing and to be giving.  When we give, we immediately get outside of ourselves and feel happy.  The only reason that we grow is so that we have something to give.  If we didn't contribute in any way, we'd feel worthless.  Contribution is a law of the universe, as anything that doesn't contribute in some form gets eliminated by evolution.  If we all contributed more, we'd have a deeper sense of meaning in our lives and feel more fulfilled. My Date of Destiny review highlights this, as I know it is a valuable principle for everything we do.

What controls the quality of your life?

The quality of our lives is nothing but the quality of our emotions.

Emotion is why someone will run into a building and give their life for a stranger – the emotion to serve, which comes from a meaning that by giving my own life, I am more significant.  The minute we experience meaning, it triggers emotion.  The twin forces of life are meaning and emotion.  Meaning is the force that shapes life, emotion is what colors it.

You cannot control the events of your life, only what things mean.

What controls your ultimate destiny?

Your destiny is who you are going to become and what you are going to give in this lifetime.  What controls your destiny is your decisions.  Decisions equal destiny, or direction of your life.  It's our decisions, not our conditions that control our destiny. It's what you decide to do with the conditions. This is the key to the Date of Destiny review and is a highly inspirational way to look at how our lives transform.

Every moment of your life, including this one right now, you are making 3 decisions:

1) What to focus on.

You are constantly focusing on something during every moment.  Whatever you focus on, you feel.  Focus equals reality to the individual, even if its not real in actuality.  And what you focus on is what you get in life.  We must learn how to control our focus throughout our lives, which will shape which direction we're going.

You can identify someone's destiny based on 3 questions:

Do you focus on what you can control, or can't control?

Do you focus on the past, present or the future?

Do you focus on what you have or what is missing in your life?

What you focus on will determine whether you are depressed or not.  Depression is NOT a disease, it's merely a pattern of focus.  By taking control of your focus, you are able to radically shift the quality of your life.

2) What does it mean?

The moment you focus on something, you give it a a meaning.  Is this good or bad?  Is this person teasing me or being disrespectful?  Is this a challenge or a gift?

Most achievers are always trying to control the events of their lives.  While you can't control all of the events, you can always control the meaning that you give events.

Meaning = Emotion = Life

Another word for meaning is your story.  We come up with stories, or disempowering meanings, that control our lives.  These stories is what prevents us from taking action or making progress in certain areas.  You must become a master of meaning and learn to find the good in every situation and come up with more empowering meanings for the events of your life.

3) What are you going to do?

The meaning you create will usually determine what you're going to do in the moment.  Your meaning creates a certain state, and your state controls your behaviour. My Date of Destiny review shows exactly how you create what you want and get what you need in return.

The 6 Human Needs

An important piece of Tony Robbins work that I highlight with this Date With Destiny review is identifying what your top needs are from the 6 Human Needs.  We all have 6 needs, or 6 reasons of why we do anything.  The needs are:

1) Certainty
2) Variety
3) Significance
4) Connection/Love
5) Growth
6) Contribution

One of the biggest breakthroughs I had and am sharing with my Date With Destiny review was changing the needs that I valued most.  Before Date With Destiny, my top two needs were 1) Significance and 2) Certainty.  80% of people in North America have these as their top two needs, whether they know it or not, and the consequences of it are horrific.  By having significance as my top need I would always compare myself to others and whenever I'd achieve something, it was never enough.  I always had to have more, which is an endless loop and you never really get to feel significant.  It kept me out of relationships, as I was always looking for something better and I never really got to enjoy my accomplishments.  By valuing certainty as #2, I would stay in my comfort zone and would have to feel certain before I would open up, love, grow, do something crazy, or really give to someone else.  This was a significant change I made and am sharing with the Date with Destiny review. When I felt uncertain or insignificant, very little love or contribution would flow out of me.  The breakthrough I made was changing the needs I valued to being 1) Love and 2) Contribution.  Now I feel and experience love no matter what, and am always contributing rather than having to feel significant or certain first.

People are in your life if their needs are constantly being met.  If their needs are met, they will never leave you.  

There were many other big pieces of day 1 that I don't add into this Date With Destiny review, including a powerful exercise we did to change our story and to effectively blame the person in our life that has contributed the most to our story being the way it is.  I had many breakthroughs, but didn't realize the true breakthroughs were about to come in the next few days.

Day 2 Of Date With Destiny Review

On day 2 that I'm covering with the Date With Destiny review, Tony Robbins began talking about something called meta-program, along with the cycle of meaning and the spheres of influence.  I won't explain meta-programs, as that's a challenging topic to explain, but I will briefly touch on the cycle of meaning.

The Cycle Of Meaning

Everything that we do, consciously or unconsciously, we do in order to meet one or more of our six human needs.  Most people have a target they're after, like money or losing weight, the ultimate job, or a great relationship.  However, these targets are only vehicles that we use to meet our needs, and worth noting with the Date with Destiny review.  We can always create new targets and hit them constantly, but unless we have our needs met at a deep level and not a surface level, we will not really be happy.

We all develop certain behaviours or actions, whether they be good or bad, to meet our needs.  To change the behaviour, we need to break the old pattern because it's in your body and programmed to meet your needs, and create a new pattern.  But what's deeper than the behaviour is the emotions you experience, which is what triggers the behaviour or pattern.

The quality of life is determined by the quality of our emotions.

People that engage in destructive behaviours only do it when they are in a certain state: they feel bored, or stressed, or lonely, or anxious.  Whatever we feel in any given moment will dictate what we end up doing.  If you change your emotional state, the behaviour changes automatically, as well as what you experience. This was significant for me, and in this Date with Destiny review, I continue to highlight how experiences and behaviors change everything.

The ultimate force behind patterns or behaviour and emotions is your Model of the World, also known as your Blueprint, which consists of your rules and beliefs of why things are the way they are and how things should be.  Change your beliefs, and you'll change everything.  This is one of the many great messages that I'm covering with the Date with Destiny review. One of the best ways to make a lasting change in your life is to make a shift in your Identity, which is the sum total of beliefs about who you are.  If you, for example, adopted the identity of a nutritionist or fitness model, it would automatically transform your behaviours around over-eating or exercise.

The Emotional Triad

In any moment in time, the meaning you give to a situation is shaped by your Emotional Triad.  The Emotional Triad that you currently embody creates the meaning, and the meaning fires off the emotion.  Therefore, the power to change and expand the fuel of emotions available to you lies in the three patterns of the Triad.

1) Physiology

How you engage your body: your posture, breathing, tone of voice, movement, etc…

2) Focus

What you focus on, you feel.  What is your current pattern of focus?  What are you giving attention to in the moment?

3) Language/Meaning

The words you use to describe your experience become your experience.  Your habitual language patterns create the meaning in any situation.

The quickest way out of pain and into pleasure is by changing the Triad you are experiencing in the moment.  Regardless of the situation, if you shift your Triad powerfully enough, you will transform.

Power Virtues and Incantations

Another big part of day 2 that I want to mention with this Date with Destiny review was creating your 4 primary Power Virtues and using the power of Incantations to really condition them into your nervous system.  The 4 Power Virtues that I selected for myself are, 1) I am confident, 2) I am determined, 3) I am loving, and 4) I am happy.  These are the emotional states that I need to most tap into in order to really live the life I want.

We then used Incantations to condition these new beliefs and virtues into our nervous system.  An incantation is a phrase or language pattern that is said out loud and with an actively engaged physiology.  Incantations involve all 3 areas of the Emotional Triad, including focus, language and physiology.

Speak that which you wish to become.

 Some sample incantations that we spoke at Date With Destiny are:

All I need is within me now.

I love my life and I am so blessed.

At last at last the past is past;
I've broken free and won.
And now it's time to love myself
And really have some fun.

God's wealth is circulating in my life.
His wealth flows to me in avalanches of abundance.
All my needs, desires, and goals are met instantaneously
by infinite intelligence and I give thanks
for all my good now and for all God's riches
for I am one with God and God is everything.

Oneness Blessing

One of my favourite parts of Date With Destiny was experiencing a Oneness Blessing, which was one of the most profound spiritual experiences of my life.  It's difficult to explain, as it's something you need to experience, but Tony shared about how him and his wife experienced this blessing which transformed their lives – they felt causeless joy and they eventually went to India to the Oneness University to learn more about how to experience these types of blessings.

Everyone in the room got in a meditative state and cleared out our chakras, and then had these Oneness Blessers come by and touch us on our head, which gave me a profound experience.  It's difficult to explain my experience, but it was incredible, and something I plan on further exploring.  We did two types of Oneness Blessings at the event, the first one definitely had more of an impact on me. This was something that was unexpected, which is why I'm mentioning it during the Date with Destiny review.

Your Primary Question

Another one of the most powerful parts of day 2 was discovering what my past Primary Question was, and then replacing it with a new Primary Question.  Tony describes how we all have a primary question – a question we ask everyday of our lives that controls our focus and direction of our lives.

My past Primary Question was “How can I become better?”

My Primary Question had benefitted me for years, as I was always focused on becoming better everyday, but also limited me without me realizing it, and which became conscious during the Date with Destiny review.  The limitation was that it would pre-suppose that I already wasn't good enough.  I changed my Primary Question to now be:

How can I become even better, while appreciating even more of who I am and the love that is inside of me right now?

I added the words “even better” and the second piece, which allows me now to appreciate who I currently am, where I'm at, and the love that is inside of me (which is what I'm really after in life).

Day 3 Of Date With Destiny Review

During day 3, we began to explore spirituality and the levels of consciousness.  Tony Robbins measures your level of consciousness by your level of caring. This was an intriguing addition to the Date with Destiny review.  The more that you care, the more conscious you are.  Consciousness change is a change in caring.  He models this work from Dr. Graves, author of Spiral Dynamics.

Levels of Consciousness

There are four levels of consciousness:

1) Egocentric

All babies are born egocentric, or selfish.  This is only being focused on yourself.

2) Ethnocentric

This is when you are no longer completely selfish and begin to care about your family, your friends, the people in your circle.  In short, you care about those who have the ability to give you pain or pleasure.

3) Worldcentric

This is where you care about everyone.  While it's easy to say you care about everyone, true caring is demonstrated by emotional connectivity: you feel pain when someone else feels pain, and you try to do something to try to help them get out of it.  They can't give you pain or pleasure, but you care because you feel a connection.  And your caring leads to action.  Likewise, you feel joy for those who feel joy, even though they have no ability to affect your life.

4) Spirit-centric

When you're spirit-centric, you care about everything: every animal, every creature, every facet of nature (rocks, trees, the sky, etc.), not just humans.  Few people on earth reach this level of consciousness, to the point where they couldn't imagine hurting an insect let alone another human being.

What creates your problems is operating at a low level of consciousness.  To get out of a problem, you need to get in a higher level of consciousness.

Values And Rules

Your values and rules control all of your decision making.  Everything is controlled by your beliefs and values.

A value is an emotional state that we believe is most important for us to experience or avoid.  There are two types of values: Towards Values and Away From Values. You will notice that in this Date with Destiny review, values, emotions and higher levels of consciousness are always a part of Tony Robbins central message.  Towards values are anything that we're trying to move towards, such as happiness, love, passion, success, security, gratitude, energy, peace, freedom, etc…  Away from values are anything we're trying to move away from, such as failure, loneliness, rejection, anger, depression, sadness, boredom, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, etc…

To help discover your top values, you need to ask yourself:

1) Which value do you work hardest to experience?

2) Which value do you work hardest to avoid?

Most of us have our values in conflict.  We want success, but are trying to avoid failure or rejection.  That doesn't work, as in order to experience success, you're going to have to face failure and rejection.  Anytime your values are in conflict, then you will sabotage yourself or be immobilized to take action.

We all have a hierarchy of values that are most important to us that we work harder to try to experience.  The hierarchy will determine the direction or destiny we experience.  If you value security #1, you will make radically different decisions in life than someone who values adventure as #1.  What I'm mentioning wiht the Date With Destiny review, we do a lot of exercises and in-depth work to discover our current values and then figure out what our ultimate destiny will be and the values we will need, in the order we need them, to achieve that ultimate destiny.

Our Rules are the beliefs we have about what has to happen to experience our values, or emotional states.  For many, they have the belief that in order to feel happy they need to make a certain amount of money, or achieve a certain goal or objective.  For others, in order to be happy they just need to smile, or feel grateful.  You want your rules to be as easy as possible for you to experience your Towards Values, so you can feel them on a daily basis.  For our Away From Values, we have rules to feel depressed or anger.  For some, to feel depressed they believe they need to not have any control over their lives, have nothing go their way, not be where they want to be, etc… whereas for others, they hardly experience depression because their rule is that to feel depression you have to lie to yourself and not appreciate anything in your life.  You want to change your rules around your Away From Values so that it becomes very difficult for you to experience the negative emotions, so you'll feel them a lot less.

During day 3, we also did a Goal Setting Workshop to discover what our ultimate destiny is and who we want to become. An essential part of my growth and a part of the Date with Destiny review.  We set specific goals, many of which I have listed in my 2013 New Year Resolutions.

Day 4 Of Date With Destiny Review

Day 4 that I am covering with the Date With Destiny review was all about relationships!  It's one of the most powerful days, as Tony Robbins performs many interventions and turns many relationships and marriages around.  Tony is constantly doing interventions and working with the audience on the other days, but during day 4 it was really the most fascinating.

What is the purpose of relationships?  To magnify human emotion.

There is nothing on this planet that will make you grow more spiritually than a relationship, as a relationship brings up our deepest fears of not being enough and not being loved.  In order to have a fulfilling relationship, you must get rid of the belief that your partner determines how you feel – only we determine how we feel.

Masculine And Feminine Polarity

Sexual attraction, spiritual ecstasy, and intimate connection thrives in a relationship when there is a distinct polarity between the energies of the individuals involved.  In other words, the more opposed the sexual energies between two people are (male vs. female energy), the stronger the attraction will be in the relationship.  Sexual polarity is the term used for the physical chemistry, the magnetic pull, and the overwhelming physical response we feel when we meet someone with the energy opposite to our own.  If two people have a similar polarity, then the attraction between them will be diminished. An unusual addition that I'm able to bring up with the Date with Destiny review.

Tony Robbins describes the different qualities and traits of masculine and feminine.  Masculine is all about direction, purpose, wanting to experience freedom, is stimulated by challenge, etc… whereas feminine is all about being free, open, flowing, wanting to experience love, wants to be understood, wants to be owned, stimulated by praise, etc…

There are different types of masculine and feminine energy, what Tony Robbins calls Dark Masculine and Light Masculine, along with Dark Feminine and Light Feminine.  I don't have enough time to go into details of this, but David Deida in the book The Way of the Superior Man talks about a lot of these principles which is a book worth reading if you're a man!

The 5 Relationship Stressors

There are 5 pitfalls in a relationship, called the 5 Relationship Stressors, listed below:

1) Loss of Attraction

2) Irritation, Frustration, Emotional Stacking and Stonewalling

3) Loss of Physical Passion

4) Loss of Commitment

5) Story of Incompatibility

I've attached a video below of Tony Robbins and Sage discussing the 5 Relationship Stressors, if you want to learn more about it:

I found the 4 R's to be useful, which stand for: Resistance, Resentment, Rejection and Repression.  Ultimately, you can avoid them by communicating in your relationship how you feel so that you don't build up any resistance and resentment, which leads to the last two which are deadly.

Lack Of Intimacy

There are certain things that Tony Robbins pointed out that made a lot of sense to me and light bulbs went off and which I'm sharing with this Date with Destiny review.  He says there's three things that shut down lack of intimacy in men and for women.

For women, what shuts down intimacy is:

1) Feeling unseen.
Solution: Give her attention, all the time!

2) Feeling unsafe/can't trust.
Solution: Give her reassurance, all the time!

3) Feeling that she is not understood.
Solution: Give her real presence, all the time!

For men, what shuts down intimacy is:

1) Being criticized.
Solution: Admire and appreciate.

2) Feeling closed.
Solution: Be open and playful.

3) Feeling controlled.
Solution: Give freedom and love.

The Three Dimensions of a Relationship

There are three dimensions of a relationship, similar to the three levels of love that Tony Robbins describes that I mentioned in the Unleash The Power Within review.

1 Dimensional: It's all about yourself.

Your focus is on what you are getting out of the relationship.  You try to control things in the relationship based on the outside world.  You are at an egocentric level.

2 Dimensional: It's all about equality.

Your focus is both on meeting your needs as well as your partners.  Your belief is that “I will take care of myself, you will take care of yourself, and we will try to take care of each other.  If I can't meet your needs, however, I'm out of the relationship.” You are playing at an ethnocentric level.

3 Dimensional: Your needs are my needs.

In a stage three relationship, you take total responsibility for how the other person feels.  You will not stop or give up for any reason until you meet your partner's needs.  This is a three-dimensional relationship; you are at a world- or spirit-centric level. An important lesson I learned and am sharing with the Date with Destiny review.

Day 5 Of Date With Destiny Review

Day 5 is called “Transformation Day”, as it's the day where we create our new values and rules for our lives.

Most of this day was working with our buddy and spending countless hours discovering our new values and rules to the point where our brain turned to mush.  I'm not going to go into the details of the entire process, as there were countless examples and it's quite a complicating and gruelling process, but it involves analyzing every value in a specific order and a lot of deep thought to discover the new values you want and the rules for them.

My new towards values, which I mentioned in my video, are:

1) Health & Energy
2) Love
3) Happy & Grateful
4) Passion
5) Confidence & Presence
6) Physically Fit
7) Success & Achievement
8) Fun & Adventure
9) Learn & Grow
10) Being My Best
11) Investing
12) Contributing

The biggest breakthrough that I would like to give you with this Date with Destiny review was getting rid of significance from my #1 value and putting love, happy, grateful, passion, etc… above being physically fit and success.  This shift made me go from achieving to be happy, to now happily achieving.  That is a world of difference for me, and I feel it everyday.

Some of my new rules for these values are:

I experience health and energy anytime I a) do anything that increases my physical well-being; or b) take a deep breath; or c) consume fruits and vegetables; or d) drink water; or e) focus on positive thoughts or be in a positive state.

I experience love anytime I a) am loving; or b) am warm towards others; or c) focus on and remember the love that is always in my heart; or d) connect with God; or e) my state enhances the way others feel.

I experience happiness and gratitude anytime I a) remember and appreciate all of the good that already exists in my life; or b) feel thankful for God or anyone else; or c) wake up another day alive.

As you can see, I have a menu of options, I'm in control of all of them, and it's very easy for me to achieve the values that I want to feel each day.  This is setting myself up to win.

My new away from values are:

1) Consistent, Debilitating Depression
2) Consistent, Debilitating Laziness & Procrastination
3) Consistent, Debilitating Unworthiness
4) Consistent, Inappropriate Tired & Exhaustion
5) Consistent, Debilitating Doubt
6) Consistent, Inappropriate Overwhelm
7) Consistent, Inappropriate Frustration
8) Consistent, Inappropriate, Debilitating Anger & Annoyed
9) Consistent, Inappropriate Boredom
10) Consistent, Debilitating, Inappropriate Shyness
11) Consistent, Debilitating Illusion of Failure
12) Consistent, Inappropriate Illusion of Rejection

As you can see, I added consistent, inappropriate and debilitating before many of these values as it is sometimes useful to experience these emotions, but not consistently or in debilitating or inappropriate ways.This is an essential part of the Date with Destiny review.

Some of my new rules for these values are:

I experience consistent, debilitating feelings of depression only if I were to consistently lie to myself and believe that I have no control over anything, instead of remembering how fortunate I really am and that I am in control of my life and how I feel.

I experience consistent, debilitating feelings of laziness and procrastination only if I were to consistently do absolutely nothing that move me towards my ultimate destiny for a period of time, instead of realizing that I can easily make progress by taking simple actions.

I experience consistent, debilitating feelings of unworthiness only if I were to consistently lie to myself about how I am not enough, instead of remembering the truth that I am someone of value and that everything in my life is outstanding.

As you can see from these new rules, it's very difficult for me now to experience depression, laziness, procrastination or unworthiness.  I've languaged them so that I'd have to lie to myself or have a false belief about these feelings, instead of remembering the truth.

Mission Statement

We also spent time on day 5 creating our mission statement, also known as the purpose of our life.  We had to make sure our mission statement had “be” and “do” statements, was stated in the positive, included ourselves and others, was brief, able to experience it daily, and use emotionally charged words that make us happy.

My mission statement is:

The purpose of my life is to be even more fully alive, grow and make a difference in the lives of others.

This is something that empowers me daily and something that I can look at on my wall and it gets me motivated to take action.  At the core, it lifts me up and feels congruent to how I want to be living my life. This was a powerful part that I'm covering with this Date with Destiny review.

Day 6 Of Date With Destiny Review

The final day I cover with the Date With Destiny review was called “Integration Day”, as it allowed us to fully integrate our values, rules, mission statement, power virtues, primary question, and everything that we learned as part of our life.  We ended up making a cool poster that I displayed in my video and now hang on my wall so that I can see everyday.

One of the ways that we integrated these changes is through teaming up in a group of 4 and having to use incantations and a lot of energy to really condition our brains to believe these new changes.  We used an incantation that we would say, “I, Stefan, see, hear, know, and feel that the purpose of my life is to XYZ.”  We would have to use intense levels of energy while doing it, and were only able to move onto the next section until everyone in our group was satisfied and agreed that the person speaking was congruent with the new belief or value.

Overall, Date With Destiny was by far one of the most incredible, life-changing experiences of my life.  There was so much material and powerful lessons to take away from the event, and I'm still digesting it over a month later!  I feel that most of the changes I made were permanent and are now apart of who I am.  Of course, it wasn't a magic pill and all of my problems aren't solved, but I made a lot of changes from the experience and am happier and more fulfilled because of it.  I continue to do my best to implement the strategies and lessons I learned from it and make sure I'm applying it as much as I can.  I'll never forget my experience during Date With Destiny with Tony Robbins, and look forward to attending some of his other higher level programs and even re-attending for another Date With Destiny review at some point in the future.
