I met Tony Robbins in back in the 1980s, just a few years before he launched his spectacular career as a personal power evangelist trainer.  Though we chatted only briefly, I remember thinking to myself, "This Tony is a pretty cool guy."  Like Tony, I too was a student of such notables as Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, and others.  The writings and audios of those teachers made quite an impression on me.  I still listen to Earl Nightingale’s profound work, "The Strangest Secret" every so often.

In the above video, Tony is visited by Frank Kern and John Reese, two Internet entrepreneurs who have made hundreds of millions of dollars each marketing their various programs. Each have each built wildly successful online and offline businesses. They ask Tony, why it is that some people are able to push through and achieve amazing things, while others fall short of their goals and seemingly give up.

Tony breaks it down for them in very simple, easy to understand terms. In fact, if you integrate the simple lessons in this video, the world is your oyster (Pardon the "pearl-esque" pun, but this blog is all about Pearls of Wisdom!).

Enjoy the video.   My Pearl Nutrient business experienced exponential growth when I integrated the principles discussed in this video. Revealed in this video are the real secrets of how to make it despite external economic conditions.  I’m living proof that if you know yourself and control your belief system, you can easily outshine the naysayers, devil’s advocates, and glass-half-empty thinkers of the world.

I believe Tony will be launching a revised Money Mastery video series soon.  I’m looking forward to getting that when it becomes available.  Now is the best time in recent years to start a business, and get in the flow of prosperity  (that’s my belief, anyway… and I’m proving it).

Nowadays, in our modern international society, most people will relate to the section of the video where Tony, Frank and John discuss how "beliefs create results."   It clearly explains how that if one believes he or she will fail, they will.  This concept further explains the old adage, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” Over the years, many notables from Ben Franklin to Abe Lincoln to Mark Twain to Henry Ford have coined versions of the old saying, "Whether you believe you can or you can’t, you’re right."

One of my teachers in high school used to say, "What you believe is what you will set out to prove to yourself." He’s never been wrong.
