I met Tony Robbins a few years ago when I worked for a marketing/brand management agency. The first thing you notice about him in person is that he?s just very physically large (especially since I?m only 5?4?) and his hands were HUGE. Other than that, he was surprisingly casual and laid back and made a lot of jokes during the focus group that we were observing throught the 2-way glass. Before we started his project, I really didn?t know a lot about him, so I read a few books before we met, and the one thing that I was the most impressed with was his business acumen.
Before anything, he?s an extremely savvy businessman. At the very least, his books and seminars do truly inspire people to do things they haven?t done before. Whether its just hype or fluff, he does have an ability to motivate people to move past whatever barriers they have in their lives. The business-savvy part of him found a way to capitalize and make a VERY GOOD living off of that; and for that, I applaud him.
