You can become a bit safe in life and talking to those who are getting out and doing stuff can probably inspire. I like not to try if possible. It's a bit of a life philosophy. Just let life flow. Tony Robbins is a bit hypey for me but probably does well to inspire those who need it like salesman and those who just respond well to that stuff. Similar to scam tv preachers.

Like "some" politicians they get rich off the poorly educated. I think there's a bit of that but I'll give an example. Taking on something new like a business franchise or starting property purchases, with the aim of getting rich, can be hard and daunting and risky and part of our nature can say 'Better not'. Some people who want to do that need hype, need someone who can tell them that life is about taking risks and they can become rich, etc. Some crash and burn but I've know people who have seemed over the top, with maybe an inspirational message taped to the wall, but now own 20 properties. I am a bit of a slow and steady type and I see what he's saying as obvious, and almost embarrassing, and not worth the huge fees. But a government worker waiting for retirement in a few years is not the target audience. I used to see his ads on TV late at night after going out and they are as hypey as one might expect. . There's an example on youtube where people burnt there feet at one of his seminars walking on coals. It's supposed to show mind over matter. In fact if done right there is no risk of burning your feet but they got it wrong. Though it can all seem a fraud I have a bit of sympathy for those, who if there trying to pick themselves up from something or have dreams of success that they see as non negotiable, might feel they benefit from a mentor like him.

LaosLover Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 It would take me months to have 4 separate conversions (I talk to my wife every day) with 4 separate people that are actual conversations. By the time I accomplished this Herculean task, I would have completely forgotten about the first conversation. To get anywhere near that huge number, I'd have to include conversations here (tragic? agreed!). I do chat with Sparktrader a little bit. He's a great guy. But so far, his influence on me remains elusive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
