Why…
It happened in about 1991. I read a book by Anthony Robbins. Well, sort of. I bought the book Awaken the Giant Within. There were several references to a previous book by Anthony Robbins. So I stopped reading the Giant…and went and purchased Unlimited Power. After reading that book, I felt like I had to know more. I made a decision I had to get to one of Tony’s seminars. Then like so many other people in the world, I let life get in the way. So fast forward to 1999. It is getting to the end of the milenium. 2000 is a fresh start, so in order to get a fresh start I bought Anthony Robbins’ Personal Power II a 30 day tape set. I am one of the few people who bought a tape set and then used it. My wife and I did the whole 30 days. It was great. And at the end of it, guess what? I said I have got to get to one of Tony’s seminars.
Fast forward again now to December 2001. I own my own business. I am successful in the business by most people’s standards and yet I am not happy or fulfilled. I don’t know if you can relate to that or not. But I was not happy. My marriage was terrible. My finances…yeah. So there I sat one day in front of a computer and I said, you know what I know Tony comes to Chicago (I was living in Iowa at the time). I am going to look at his website and see the next time he is going to be local. This was a Wednesday. He was in Orlando that weekend. I said I am doing this. So my wife and I headed to Orlando on a moments notice. And this is where this particular journey begins.
