Anthony Robbins might be onto something

I had a conversation with someone over the weekend that I can’t help but share.  We were talking about Anthony Robbins and his book Unlimited Power.  In Chapter X, he talks about his 6 principles of physiology.  They are the following: 

1. The power of breath.
2. The principle of eating water-rich foods.
3. The principle of effective food combining.
4. The law of controlled consumption.
5. The principle of effective fruit consumption.
6. The protein myth.

Anthony Robbins is not a nutritionist.  He does not seem or claim to have formal education or training in any specialty or area that would make him an expert in health and nutrition.  What he does say is that he researched and spoke to some of the healthiest people he knew and modeled their behavior.  Does this make him an expert?  Probably not.

The thing I love about this chapter of his book is that Tony goes against conventional wisdom.  He tells you he is going to, he pads it for you and then shows you his principles.  I don’t know if these things work because I don’t know enough about the topic.  If you’re reading this and you know about nutrition or health and you’ve read about his principles let me know what you think.  I do know that America has a problem with obesity.  It seems that some of the more convetional diets aren’t working.  Maybe Tony is onto somthing?

What else I do know is ‘financial stuff’.  What I do know is that people are failing financially and that they economy is nothing more than an excuse.  Do you need an excuse?  Or does is just make you feel better?  The conventional ways of doing things are leading to failure.  Is it time for a change?  Are you open to looking outside the box?  Are you open-minded enough to do something that goes against what you read, see and hear because it works?

Here are the first ever written 6 principles of the Evolution of Wealth:

1. The power of LUC.
2. The principle of 15%.
3. The velocity of money.
4. The law of protected savings.
5. The principle of BYOB.
6. The 401k myth.

I will develop and explain these principles in future blog posts but for now I will leave you wondering.  What do you think?  Do any of them sound familiar to you?

***Disclaimer:  This is a rough draft.  I reserve the right to change and update these principles as I see fit.  They will only be modified to better capture and/or explain the concepts of building wealth. ***
