Tony Robbins tells Rocky story

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/Ayl3x)


 

Tony talks about Sly Stallone story and how he was driven to be a star in life.  Tony says he is good friends with Sylvester.  This is a 9:21 second clip.  They talk about a book that changed Sylvester's life.  How he can touch other people and be a star and make a difference.  Sylvester sold a script for $100 and it made a difference in my life.   He talks about Sylvesters tough times, and where he came from.  He talks about Sylvester dog and his wife.  He talks about how he has had to sell stuff in his life, and the low points he has been in.  He watched a Mahommad Ali fight and wrote the Rocky script on the spot in 20 hours straight.   They talked about how he has to star in this movie, and pay big money for the script.   How he walked away until he could eventually star in his movie, he turned down $325,000 offer because he wanted to be in the movie.  They spent very little to make the movie, the movie made a ton of money.  I enjoyed this story and it's inspirational, you should listen to it.
