Dont forget the tinfoil undies cause then when the smart buggar makes some stupid comment like "Were both men right both wear the same jocks next to our skin right" You can look at him with utter surprise and say in yer loudedest voice "WOW!! You wear tinfoil jocks too?? MAN and I thought it was just my jooels the little green men wanted WHAAAHOOOOO hey there brother tinfoil jocks rule!! do you paint yers pink with yellow dots to? cause they really bug the little buggars you know nothin else works as well you do paint em pink with yellow dots DONT YOU?" of course you will be backin away like he has leprosy as you ask this!! :eek:

Just be ready to shout out "which day, Tuesday, Wednesday" when Robbins or one of his aids says "at the end of the day"

Just out of interest,how many of you have actually seen Tony Robbins (not others,just Robbins) before forming your opinion?Or have you all formed your opinions from the seconhand opinions of others,or less?

Nice try Tools, but I dont need to be in a car crash to know its a bad thing

Wish I had stumbled across this thread earlier.

Robbins is like many teachers in the sense that his teachings will be greatly tempered by the attitude of the student. We have all probably had the frustrating experience of trying to show someone how to do a new thing or technique when they already think they know everything.

From personal experience, I have used the teachings of Anthony Robbins and "Others like him" to help me grow from a Uni dropout with a panic disorder who could not leave home on and off for 8 years, (This is when I took up woodwork) to the owner of the company that exports, markets and distributes Triton in Japan.

When curing myself of the panic disorder, I read and still do read copiously. Robbins is a very good digest of more material than most people would ever cover.

He wil probably recommend his series of regular cassettes "Power Talk". Spending a great deal of time on the road in Japan, I find these to be a hell of a lot more interesting than talk back radio where listening to people have a whinge seems to entertain many.

I love the WWW shows. Flew down from Japan for the recent one in Sydney. Saw many of the regulars, heaps of tools that are on the shelves a Bunnings and also saw some new products being demonstrated. Was very pleasant and interesting, but not life changing.

A choice between an event that can (Based on my own experience) drastically change the direction of your life, or one that can help you along in the direction you are going, really gets down to how much you want in life.

Looking forward to reading Rusty's comments.

G,day Rusty,
That, right there is telling you not to go!! Oh well, do what you want to do. I just hope that this Anthony Robbins shindig works out for you.
Take good care,
Barry.

You have formed your opinion on car crashes because you know of the injury to people (or worse) and have seen the damge to vehicles and wallets that crashes cause.Perhaps you have been involved in one yourself.Are you saying Anthony Robbins is a bad thing,and if so,on what do you form your opinion?

You dont need to go to Sydney to get all the cr@p knocked outta ya head. Just fall over 5m but less than 7m onto concrete. That knocks it all out. It maybe a bit risky but its cheap as chips and Patel is out of the country.

Tools, I trust your question is rethorical.
Rusty's delimena was whether to go the the Melb WWWS or go out of town to listen to Robbins.
As should be expected from this board, most of us told him to forget Robbins and go to the WWWS instead. The "advice" had very little do with the value or otherwise of what Robbins has to say but was mostly about why he should go to the Melb WWWS

Ian,my question was not rhethorical.Many of the comments made were as you said about why he should go to the woodwork show.But many others were assessments of Tony Robbins and his courses.

IMNSHO i reckon all those guys are just wankers selling quick fixes to the questions you already know the answers for anyway.

<o> </o>


The only person I know who likes that sort of stuff is an amway wanker - cant stand him either. <!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" oreferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <vath o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='12pt; 12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\msohtml1\01\clip_image001.gif" o:href="https://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]-->[img]file:///C:%5CWINDOWS%5CTEMP%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_image001.gif[/img]<!--[endif]-->

If he's so hot, whats he doing schlepping around Oz? His principles will make you 'millions', why don't he go and do it himself?...........

Well,he has. Tools

<o> </o>

You're trying to decide whether you should stay in your own backyard and visit an exhibition of equipment and techniques for which you have a passion or travel some considerable distance to attend a seminar on a whole heap of crap that you could read in any number of books by even more qualified idiots than the one you describe.

<o> </o>

I'd rather spend the time in my workshop..I dont need some septic lecturing me on how I should run my life.

<o> </o>

<o> </o>

These dudes are the modern version of snake-oil salesmen.

<o> </o>

Robbins should only take about ½ a day by my calcs you can do both ...

<o> </o>

<o> </o>




So my question still stands...how many have been to see him,or even know anything about what the weekend is about?

Tools

G'day Tools,

Snake oil salesmen are all the same. Nothing different and all crooks. If you want to bow down to him, kiss his shirt tails well maybe you should be at his scam in Sydney.

Waldo,again I ask the question...what have you based your assessment of him on?What do you know about him?

Henry KAye was a crook,but that doesn't mean that everyone who has anything to do with real estate is a crook...same thing really.
