It works well for some and through Robbins I have seen some people who were in a VERY BAD place find their way forward in life in a way they never thought possible.
Wow nice one. Ok sorry for the generalisation, just my experience of dealing with people that have listened to him has usually lead to misplaced trust and ultimately costing a lot of money.

Your GT3 is testimony to his influence in your life.

Find yourself a project or goal to work toward.

Nice tale and turnaround

My recipe for a content life is; not to expect anything, not to try living up to someone/something, not to view your cup as half empty instead of half full.

Health, Family and Friends are all you really need .... lose one of those and no amount of anything else will ever fill the gap.

I have never forgotten my roots, never forgotten where I come from, never forgotten the back streets I grew up in ....... I still find it difficult to spend what I have, in fact I cannot as I don't try to! Every £ works its socks off if my name is attached to it!

The simple things are the best, the free things cannot be beaten ..... camping in the corner of a field, for example, is far superior to a Luxury Cruise IMO ... pure, simple, down to earth.

Life turnarounds can come from oddest places as long as your mind is open...

...oh, and I forgot to mention that I also stopped smoking overnight - 30 a day to zero. And I never once thought about the fact that I needed to stop smoking - just had different goals in life.


Someone else on here went from a lifetime of 3 to 4 packs a day to zero having attended the same event. This happened in one day.

I have also seen people jump off the deep end with this stuff, I do not see it as misplaced trust but misplaced direction.

If people see Robbins as the source then he has failed. The same people who end up in the wrong place also do the same with Christopher Howard, Roger Hamilton and T'Harv Eker. If people are looking to hang onto to someone's shirttails it could be any of these, or even God as you suggest

I think one of the most useful things I have learned is that the quality of your life is directly proportional to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably live with.

Once you understand that, anything is possible.

Technically you might say that lab rats work in a laboratory. They're not normally particularly well educated

Loved the part in the beginning about having 13k posts

And here we are a few years later and GC8 is only a little behind
