Tony Robbins

So reverse order is most people, they want to make something happen, they focus on the strategy.

Now, I'm a strategist.

I get paid to be able to show someone how to save a decade because the right strategy in business can save you 10 years, right?

But as much as I love strategy, it's not what I start with with people.

The reason is because the natural question is I want to achieve this, but how do I do it?

There's nothing wrong with answering the question how, it's just the sequence of these that are critical.

It's like if I told you this is someone's phone number and you have the right numbers and you dial the wrong order, you're not gonna reach him.

If you knew the vault numbers but you put in the wrong order, the vault doesn't open.

When it comes to a breakthrough, most people are focused on the strategy, the how to, and the problem is when you go to how to do something you've never done before,

it brings uncertainty.

And uncertainty creates hesitancy and hesitancy kills momentum, hesitancy kills performance, hesitancy kills most things that really matter in your life.

So it's not a strategy problem.

People think it's a strategy problem, it's not.

The real problem is they have a story.

So think of these three S's.

The story is locking them in place.

The story is what you said, a belief.

But when you stack a set of beliefs together, you build a story.

And you tell it to yourself over and over again until you believe it.

So the story is, I've tried everything.
