UNLIMITED POWER

Anthony Robbins

The quality of my life is the quality of my personal communication (with myself and with others).

7% of human communication is words

38% is tonality

55% is physiology

No matter what happens to me in my life, it's not what happens that makes a difference in the quality of my life but rather what I do with what happens.

For things to change I have to change myself.

Knowledge is not enough. A lot of people know all the answers but fail to apply what they know.

Personal Power: the ability to take action.

Those who succeed use what they know.

To succeed I must try until I succeed. (Ex.: Col. Sanders)

Affirmation with discipline create miracles.

Behind my faith there must be work.

Talents are developed.

THE 3 STEPS TO PERSONAL POWER

1. Energy2a. The skill or the ability to specifically define exactly what it is that I want.

2b. The skill or the ability to specifically define exactly what others want and then to fill other's needs quickly and elegantly.

3. Turning fear into power. The ability to break through my fears and produce new results is what really allows me to tap into my full personal power.

Modeling

1. I model or duplicate the beliefs and values of a person who is succesful;

2. I must duplicate the person's mental syntax (ex.: Ki-Ve-Vi...), the mental strategies;

3. I duplicate the person's physiology (posture, breathing patterns, tone of voice, facial expressions, muscular tension or relaxation, moves, etc.).

THE 7 DISCIPLINES OF POWER

1. I always act from personal power (the ability to take action).

I realize that there are no failures, there are only results.

I always succeed in producing a result. People who succeed do not believe in failure. (Ex. Federal Express).

2. I am totally responsible for my world.

I create my world.

I take charge of my life.

If I am not responsible, somebody else is in charge of my life.

No matter what happens in my life, I created it on some level.

3. I am always stretching.

I put myself on the line.

I am much more than what I believe I am.

a) I make a comitment to myself to do things that seem to be beyond my present ability.

b) I make a public comitment.

c) I Model someone who is presently getting the result I'm after.

d) I follow the model, and when I don't know what to do, I act as if I did. This gives me access to all my resources.

4. I am commited to unconscious competence rather than cognitive understanding. (I pick the fruits instead of studying the roots).

5. I always act from personal integrity (wholeness). I always lie with integrity (my beliefs are only my own and they may be inacurate even if I believe them to be true. By saying "lie" I remind myself that these are just beliefs. They are not written in stone, and some day I may change them if I find something else is better or bigger or empowers me in better ways. I make sure my daily actions match my beliefs.

6. The meaning of my communication is the response that I get. If I don't like the result I'm producing in him I need to change my approach (physiology, words, moves, etc.). I always try something else. Intention means nothing. All it does is provide a direction. Results mean everything.

7. I am commited to do whatever it takes to succeed, without harming another person. Comitment is the most powerful tool for human beings. Practice. Master. Get good. Go from interest to comitment.

Seven character traits common to people who succeed

1. They all have a consuming passion about what they do.

2. They have supportive belief systems.

3. People who succeed have a strategy for success. They organize the way they do things to produce results.

4. They are clear about what they want in their lifes. They have no internal battles going on.

5. They have energy (dietary pattern).

6. They feel connected to others. If you get to the top of success mountain all by yourself, you'll probably jump off.

7. They have strong communication skills. It's not what happens that makes a difference but rather how we communicate to ourselves what has happened.
