By 17, he was on his own, working as a janitor and struggling to survive. Yet, those painful experiences fueled his hunger for change. A single act of kindness—a stranger bringing Thanksgiving groceries to his family—planted the seed of giving in his heart, shaping the philosophy he lives by today: “The secret to living is giving.” That pain and generosity became the foundation of his drive to help others, and it set the stage for his transformation. ✎ Everything shifted when Tony met his mentor, Jim Rohn. Investing nearly a week’s pay to attend Rohn’s seminar, Tony learned the power of personal growth and self-education. Rohn’s message—“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better”—ignited Tony’s belief that changing yourself could change your life. From there, he went from janitor to running a Beverly Hills office at 18, gaining experience in leadership, sales, and business. Along the way, he modeled success, embraced mentorship, and took massive action, applying every lesson immediately. ✎ By his early 20s, Tony Robbins had launched books, audio programs, and revolutionary infomercials that spread his message worldwide. His live events like Unleash the Power Within and Date with Destiny have transformed millions of lives. Entrepreneurs like Marc Benioff of Salesforce and hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones turned to him for guidance, while countless everyday people found breakthroughs at his seminars. Today, Tony leads over 30 companies generating billions annually, all while feeding millions through his Basket Brigade and giving back globally. His journey proves that with resilience, mentorship, contribution, and massive action, anyone can turn pain into purpose and build a life of impact. ★ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU ★ If you liked this video, you'll love these ones: • How Can We Know What We Really Want to Do in the Future? - https://youtu.be/rlZBW1IIFtA • Is There Any Method That Can Help Someone Who is in a State of Fight and Flight? - https://youtu.be/GDxE4xyVpLA • Do This Once & Watch How People Treat You Differently - https://youtu.be/9J1f3fCsOMg ツ CONNECT WITH ME ツ Leave a comment on this video and it'll get a response.
