Tony Robbins has inspired millions of people through his motivational books, seminars, and interviews reminding us of our innate personal power. Ever since I first attended my first Tony Robbins conference in 2011, I kept consistent progress in my journey in both business and life.
If you ever do get a chance, I’d highly recommend getting alone to one of Tony’s live events in the United States or Australia. For the time being, here are 75 powerful quotes for personal power:
