man, that's a tony robbins story.. now i know the exact number. it was 1,007 times, but i always rounded it off to a thousand. can you imagine 1,007 nos? you going to somewhere, "no," "no," "no"-- i could be for another 30 minutes before we get to 1,007 nos. and it just clicked in my mind. wow, no is really yes. unbelievable. you just gotta keep going, gotta keep fighting. so you start to become a fan of no. how important is money to you? money is-- my mom taught me at a young age-- money is a passport, allows you to come and go but does not make you. so money for me, when i was a little kid, since i didn't have stability, i didn't have security, i didn't have protection, that's all. it helps secure, stabilize my life, and protect, and allows me to build generations. but money's ugly. and, for me, i've seen what money does to people, especially when they're famous. it's like throwing gasoline on the fire. and let me tell you, if you were an ( bleep ) broke, you're gonna be an ( bleep ) millionaire, ( bleep ) billionai
