Tony Robbins tells Sly Stallone’s story of how he knew what he wanted to do, tried to get jobs, was rejected hundreds of times, and so he changed his approach. He knew that if he gave up and just took a normal job, he would lose his hunger. Reading a book by Edgar Allen Poe inspired him to write, and when he was at the lowest point in his life, he wrote Rocky. When it sold, he insisted on starring in it - and so he achieved his dream.
