Tony Robbins’ 8-Point Guide to Reversing Your Fortunes in 2021
Tony Robbins’ 8-Point Guide to Reversing Your Fortunes in 2021
By Matt Crossman | December 13, 2020
What’s left to say about 2020 that hasn’t already been said? Dumpster fires and train wrecks think it was a bad year.
When viewed through the narrow prism of work, it was a nightmare for companies big and small, for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, employees, freelancers, members of the gig economy, and everybody in between. Maybe for you 2020 was bad enough to prompt, or even require, a reimagining of your work, your focus, or your dreams. Tony Robbins feels your pain. He knows, understands and shares in what you’re going through because he went through it, too
A life and business strategist, No. 1 New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Robbins spent decades traveling the world speaking in front of thousands of people, and all of that disappeared seemingly in an instant. But did the end of large gatherings forecast the end of Robbins? Nope.
He looked for solutions; finding them took time. The low-hanging fruit fix—speaking via Zoom—didn’t appeal to him. He dreamed bigger than that and eventually landed on an innovative and expansive way to use video—think of it as a worldwide, interactive video call on steroids. And now what once seemed like a disaster for his lifelong purpose of helping people could enable him reach more people than ever. He plans to speak to a million or more viewers for one gig in January.
He wants you to reach new heights, too. It won’t be easy. But what fun would it be if it was? You are probably nervous, timid or afraid. All of that, Robbins says, is natural. The key is not to figure out a way to not be afraid or pretend those fears aren’t real or valid. They are. The key is to forge ahead anyway, in the face of your fears. It’s not courage, Robbins says, if you’re not afraid.
“Courage is a muscle,” he says. “You have to start using it.”
In the wake of so much change, uncertainty and opportunity, SUCCESS asked Robbins for his step-by-step guide to starting from scratch. Here, he offers tips on how to navigate your life and career in 2021, the year of your comeback:
#1 Be careful how you frame this situation to yourself.
When answering questions about how readers might “start over” in 2021, Robbins pushed back against that mindset. He encouraged solopreneurs to instead see their turnaround (his word) in a different way.
Call it a comeback, Robbins says, and you will feel like the leading character in a powerful story.

The Seven Deadly Sins Of Personal Finance
By J.D. Roth —03 June 2019
I've been reading and writing about personal finance for more than thirteen years. In that time, I've consumed a lot of books about money. Lately, I've found that it's fun to revisit old favorites.
Recently, for instance, I've been re-reading Brett Wilder's The Quiet Millionaire [my review]. It's different than most personal finance books. It's targeted at those who are farther along their financial journeys rather than at those just starting out. Still, there are bits and pieces in The Quiet Millionaire that are applicable to everyone.

By Holly Johnson.
Many consumers use their debit cards for everything they buy. Using debit instead of paying with a credit card can help you avoid the potential for debt. The money is taken out of your bank account directly and immediately, so there’s little chance to spend more than you have, unlike using a credit card.

No Such Thing as Enough Money
Jacob Schroeder Oct 27, 2021
How much money is enough?
It’s a philosophical money question that often arises out of discontent. We see someone of substantial means, like a celebrity, live a troubled life. Or, we ourselves experience great fortune yet feel unhappy.
It makes us wonder where the finish line is, the point when you can stop striving for more and settle into a life of satisfaction.
The Relationship Between Money and Marriage
Jacob Schroeder Oct 12, 2021
I love scotch; she hates it.
There are many things my wife and I don't agree on, but money isn't one of them. We are intentional spenders, buying only what mutually aligns with our needs or values. For instance, disinterested in paying for the trappings of an ostentatious wedding, we tied the knot at New York's City Hall; our reception was watching our first son play at a public playground in the East Village on a warm fall afternoon.
We've been happily together for 16 years, which makes me wonder: Does love make the financial side of marriage work, or is it the other way around?
Europe Just Bragged About Losing to Gold
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) June 4, 2026
When the euro launched on January 1, 1999, it was sold as the future. It would be a single currency to knit Europe together — to wipe out the exchange-rate friction between member states, complete the continent's single market, and bind a dozen squabbling nations into one economic bloc with one money.
And in the grander ambitions of its architects, it was meant to do something more: to grow up into a true global currency, the first serious rival the US dollar had faced since World War II.

If you want to get your finances back in order, a financial psychologist or money mindset coach can help. It all starts with getting your head in the right place.
Green Policy is Deadlier Than Guns
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man May 29, 2026
Every year around this time, a silent killer sneaks its way onto European shores and slaughters people by the tens of thousands. Last year, it killed more people in just three months than the number of civilians killed in the war in Ukraine all year. It killed three times as many people as traffic accidents do. And it killed FOUR times more Europeans than gun violence killed in America. I'm not talking about COVID. Or even the legions of migrants invading the continent.

Expert Issues Warning Over US Bank Accounts Sitting Idle
Rudro Chakrabarti Mon, April 20, 2026
Money Can Now Be Turned Over To State. Secure your money ASAP
Katelyn Fugate thought she was doing something nice for her young son. A few years back, she opened a savings account for him — a small starter fund he could build on one day. Recently, she decided to check in on it.
The balance was zero. Fugate told Scripps News she went to check the balance hoping to start adding to it again. Instead, she found the account empty. (1) The bank had declared it dormant after five years of inactivity, closed it and shipped the money off to the state's unclaimed funds department. Worse, when Fugate went looking for it, she couldn't find the money at the bank or the state.
