Here’s an awesome recording we wanted to share with you guys of Tony Robbins talking about Sylvester Stallone’s life story. You might only know him as Rocky but it turns out this well-chiseled action actor shares a lot in common with Tony Robbins himself.
Play the video below and you’ll be blown away. We definitely have a new found respect for this guy now.
Got an opinion? We want to hear it. Drop a comment below with your thoughts on this.
When I’m down or away from my peak state, there’s one thing I almost always do and it’s got a fail rate of 0.
Check it out in the video below. It’s real simple and gets me energized each time.
The video was taken from Engage Today where I spoke about flow. You can check out the vid on that over here.
In 3 precious minutes, Dr. Laura Trice shares with the TED audience the power of 2 words that matter the most, but are often not expressed, or taken for granted — “thank you”. These words are deceptively simple, but have the power to deepen a friendship, to repair a bond, and to make sure another person knows what they mean to you. Try it. Thank someone who care about today.
Have we said thank you to you today?
If we haven’t, thank you. Every one of you who reads this blog, who comments, and who’s part of our Facebook community brightens our day. We love writing for you, and we love reading your comments and connecting with you.
Thank you for being a part of FinerMinds.

Recently, I was hanging out with FinerMinds authors David Morelli & Paul Hoffman in Asia… and I decided to take them along to experience a fish massage.
Yes. An actual massage where fishes sucked on their toes.
Ok no more explanations, because it’s going to sound wrong! Just watch this video instead.
BTW, Paul Hoffman writes about living consciously day to day. You can check out his most recent blog post on FinerMinds about connecting to your creative spirit using music here.
Also, David Morelli is the host of the Everything is Energy Radio show and is one of America’s top energy workers. In his most recent post on FinerMinds, he and his wife, Kristin, created a video for our community about doing affirmations right. Click on this link to watch this video.
There is no reality…reality is simply what you observe. Watch this.

We’ve watched this tons of times, and it always makes us smile.
Dear DJ der guten Laune,
When we’re your age, we want to love life and be as excited about it the way you are in that video.
Enjoy!
Based on the results of the Energy Quiz I sent you guys a few days ago, I’ve figured out how I can give you the tools you need to get In Flow and really take your personal and financial success to its peak.
Check out the vid and based on which personality type you fall into, I’ve got some really cool tips for you:
The first 2 tips in this video are easy and you can start at home right away. For the 3rd tip, changing our subconscious belief patterns (also called changing our energy towards wealth, love etc) we’ll be hosting a call next week with Kristin and David Morelli. Two of my favorite teachers. They will guide you through a series of visualizations and thought processes to help you remove damaging beliefs. Stay tuned.
I’m still working out the details for the call with the Morelli’s but pay close attention to your inbox for the next couple days. I’ll be sending you the invite.
So a couple of us on the FinerMinds team were discussing what super important things we should’ve learned in school… but were never taught.
Some of us wish we learned how to spot toxic relationships, and how to get the hell out of them. And some of us wished we had lessons on how to awaken our psychic senses. Vishen just wished our school system had a module for entrepreneurship.
But today, we found an amazing list on Cracked.com that pretty much sums up what we think everyone should be taught in school… and what we hope our future children will be taught.

I’ve been in the personal growth movement for almost a decade now and being a speaker and publisher of personal growth products, I’ve met tons of entrepreneurs, teachers, trainers, and students of the movement. And after interacting with them on all different levels, I’ve come to notice a very distinct pattern.
People I meet fall into these 3 categories: Happy but Broke, Stressed Out Visionary, and In Flow.
I explain these 3 categories in the video below. After you watch it, take the quick quiz below so you can find out which category you’re in.
Ok if you’re watched the video above, you can take the non-scientific test below to get an idea of where on the scale you fall.
Take out a pen and paper. For each statement that you feel describes your personality, demeanor, or attitude, mark down the number of the statement.
Example: You agree with or feel that these statements apply to you: 1, 5, 8, 10, and 14. So on a piece of paper, write down those numbers.
1. You do not have a list of top ten goals written anywhere. If I asked you for your ‘bucket list’ or top ten goals, you’d have to make one up on the spot.
2. You’re a hard worker and put in long hours towards your goals.
3. You are wealthier than the majority of people you know.
4. You sometimes feel stress or anxiety when a goal or dream seems too hard to reach.
5. You liken the pursuit of money to greed.
6. You’re future focused and have a clear vision of who and what you want to be 1 yr from now.
7. You have many long term visions and goals and have these mapped into at least 5 different areas of your life.
8. You feel that the want for money and wealth is not spiritual
9. You sometimes skip daily meditation, gym or even holidays because you’re too busy.
10. You have a lot of goals and dreams but are having trouble finding time, money, or other resources to achieve them.
11. You’re seen as a leader, of a non-profit, a business your community or more. People are attracted to you.
12. In the face of difficult challenges and obstacles, you tend to always be peaceful. Knowing that a solution is on the way.
13. You are relatively happy with your current circumstances.
14. You sometimes live paycheck to paycheck or struggle to pay your bills.
15. You don’t believe in pure hard work. Instead you find that opportunities tend to come to you with ease all the time. Your desires manifest fast without the need for strong effort on your part.
This quiz is a basic guideline. In reality people fall in between the 3 categories I mentioned. But most don’t fall at either extreme, they fall somewhere along the two. Watch the video to learn more.
I’m really curious to see where you guys fall in these 3 categories. Drop a comment with your quiz results. I can’t wait to get a conversation going on this.
