Awaken the Giant Within

I actually heard one of those audio books on Anthony Robbins - Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Financial. The book was published in 1991 and motivational guru, Robbins, gave sold out seminars and even coached presidents, pop stars bla bla. It was a very fast listen that was well within 2 hrs. Personally, Robbins spoke too fast, but it was nevertheless very entertaining. It was very timely for the New Year, where ideas are big and ambitious. Where you're not afraid to dream and your outlook on life is bright.

I take away he's core selling points in the CD:
What are your Goals?
1) In Life?
2) At Work?
3) For your Toys and Adventures?
4) For Contributions to Society?

Set a timeline for these goals.

1) What do you really want?
a) Be specific
