8 questions that move you forward constructively

July 1st, 2010 - ken winston caine

“You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”

– Jim Rohn

Why self-improvement programs don’t work. It’s not YOUR fault!

June 21st, 2010 - ken winston caine

…there is no one “right” method for motivating people to change.

…If you tried in the past to go after your dreams — and you failed — there’s an excellent chance that it wasn’t your fault.

You probably were using techniques that were designed for someone else.
– Barbara Sher
Live the Life You Love, 1984

Avoid one-size-fits-all programs and solutions.

They are a waste of time, money and energy.

Either a program helps you uncover your own unique mix of motivators and needs and desires and comforts and loves — and helps you leverage them — or it belongs on someone else.

Tony Robbins at TED: ‘Get a fuckin’ life’

May 28th, 2010 - ken winston caine

Here’s an incredibly fast, fun, funny and wise 20 minutes with Tony Robbins.

He’s speaking at TED — where a buffet selection of the world’s most accomplished, edgy, brilliant and creative minds is invited each year to present their greatest learnings — their greatest ideas. In 18 minutes. “Give the talk of your life,” they are instructed.

Have you ever heard Tony Robbins speak so fast?

I’ve never heard him speak continuously for 18 minutes without mush-mouthing / schlurring a word or two…. But he pulls it off here, while motor-mouthing double-time.

Bonus: Sudden, unexpected one-liner contributed from the orchestra-pit seating from the man who won the popular vote for the U.S. presidency in 2000.

Here, without further ado, Tony Robbins’s greatest hits — in 22 minutes and 31 seconds. (He was granted a “10 second” extension when his time ran out.)
