Booking Tony Robbins today costs $1 million for a single day. this is a 21-minute tape from inside his own house, filmed over 30 years ago, where he breaks down exactly how to get anyone to say yes. same $1 million material. completely free.

this is a rare, unfiltered tape from decades before this man started charging billionaires just to be in the room with him.

people give you two excuses when they say no, he says. not enough time. not enough money. neither is true. the real reason is they don't believe it's worth it yet, and that's not a money problem, that's a state problem.

so he teaches something he calls attack and confess. instead of arguing with the objection, you confess your own. "I had a chance to go to this thing six months ago and I didn't go until two months ago," he tells the room. "I can't even imagine the time I lost." the room goes quiet. nobody argues back.

he calls it getting someone on the yes train. every small yes you get compounds into the next one, until saying no to the final ask feels harder than saying yes. by the time he asks someone to sign, he says, they've already agreed to it five times over without realizing it.

21 minutes. that's all it takes to walk away knowing the exact two moves people pay $1 million a day to learn: how to read anyone's state, and how to move it. most people spend years in sales guessing at this. he wrote it down on a flip chart in his living room in under half an hour.

a seat in that room cost $125 back then. today it's a $1 million-a-day to sit in front of him.

The tape is free right now, and the answer is in this video.

@JEChalmers Only 24000 had an ABN. The rest were just businesses restructuring due to your increase in Tax. Inflating and misleading numbers

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

@thewallstbulloz The french revolution started over a 2% increase in taxes, and they took their country back. They were French... Just saying.

Instead of watching an hour movie, watch this. In 14 minutes, an Anthropic engineer who wrote Building Effective Agents will teach you more about building agents right than most developers figure out on their own in months.

You think too much because you do too little.

All your overthinking goes away the second you start taking action.

The dumb guy who takes action will always run laps around the genius overthinker. The downfall of high-IQ men is overanalyzing everything instead of simply taking things for what they are.

Just take the next step.

Nothing frustrates me more than business plateuing.

Up one month, down two the next.

Maybe it’s the vessel. Maybe I lack the skills to breakthrough for this stage,

We’ll find out in 3 months

Australia’s largest ammonia plant just shut down for 2 months after a power outage.

Ammonia is what makes fertiliser. It’s also what makes the explosives used to blast iron ore out of the ground (Australia’s largest export)

The timing could not be worse.

Elon Musk on how he moves so fast: "I'm constantly addressing the limiting factor."

"I generally try to aim for a deadline that I at least think is at the 50th percentile. So, it's not like an impossible deadline, but it's the most aggressive deadline I can think of that could be achieved with 50% probability.  Which means that it'll be late half the time."

"A maniacal sense of urgency is a very big deal. You want to have an aggressive schedule. And then you want to figure out what the limiting factor is at any point in time and, and help the team address that limiting factor."

Everyone I know that smokes pot has or is becoming an idiot, deranged, neurotic, psychotic or all of the above.

Not a single one is normal.

Can’t say the same for alcohol.

The more I learn, the more I realise I’m on level 1 of this business owner arena.

Level 1 of 1000.

It’s been a grind getting here.

A lot of internal doubt, conflict and breakthroughs.

The road ahead scares me and excites me at the same time.

It’s a strange feeling

The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy.

No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.

No one should be allowed to make laws if they’ve never had to meet payroll.

Parliament seats should only be open to people with at least 5 years in a private business - not daddy’s company.
