Is it you?

I’m not sure who needs to hear this.

Could it possibly be you?

In my early twenties, I stumbled upon Tony Robbins and his work.

One of the things Tony writes and speaks about is what he calls his Ultimate Success Formula.

The first time I read about it, I thought, “Well, duh! Of COURSE you’re going to succeed, if you frame it like that! Pfft, no big deal.”

But that was the point.

It’s literally a formula. It gets you what you want - IF you follow through.

It’s not easy. It’s not necessarily quick.

But it works.

So, here it is. Tony Robbins’s Ultimate Success Formula:

  1. Know Your Outcome - Before anything else, decide - including specifics - what you want your “success” to look like.

  2. Define Your “Why” - Get really specific about why you want this particular form of success; what do you want to be able to feel, have, do, and be?

  3. Take MASSIVE ACTION - Don’t just browse Amazon for some new books or daydream about getting new gear. Do something that will transform you. Learn a skill, build something, reach out to people you’ve been too scared to ask for help. (Seriously, if you were able to get what you want from your current abilities and actions, wouldn’t you already have what you want?)

  4. Notice Your Results - Pay attention to the consequences of your Massive Actions. Are they moving you closer to your goal? Are you getting the results you really want? If you are, then keep doing what you’re doing until you achieve the success you defined in Step 1. If you’re not getting what you want, then you should…

  5. Change Your Approach - Choose a different path to the success you defined earlier. Once you decide on your new strategy, go back to Step 3 and take Massive Action, and then go on to Step 4 and notice if your new approach is working. If it is, that’s great! Keep going. If it’s not, here we are at Step 5 again.

And there you have it. If you commit to following this formula, one of a few different things will happen:

You’ll achieve the success you wanted.

You’ll make mistakes, learn from them, improve your process, and then you’ll achieve the success you wanted.

You’ll make mistakes, learn from them, and then decide to change your definition of success.

…and then you can apply the Formula to your new version of success until you achieve what you want.

Seriously, if you’re committed to following through on this, you will get what you consistently work towards.

Like I said, I’m not sure who needs to hear this.

But if it was you, now’s your chance.

Good luck and God Bless.
