Effortless English & Tony Robbins – Part 1
hi this is AJ Hoge the director of effortless English and I’m going to do a little lesson probably several lessons to help you understand one of Tony Robbins recent videos so Tony Robbins did a video and he actually did a little discussion with two other people Frank Kern and John Reese a Frank Kern and John Reese our internet business people they’re entrepreneurs the entrepreneur is someone who owns their own business they start their own business and so in this video Tony talks with Frank Kern and John Reese and they discuss you know the kind of the difficult economy we have now and also basically how can you get more success in your life and you know whatever success is for you maybe that means money maybe that means learning better English maybe something else but anyway I want to help you understand this video a lot of our members watch Tony’s video and they told me oh it’s hard to understand Tony talks very fast the other two guys Frank Kern John Reese they talk fast they use idioms and slang sometimes so please help me understand it so what I’m gonna do is something I call the movie technique I learned it at university in Shenandoah University where I got my master’s degree blah blah blah but anyway what I’m gonna do I would just play a short part of Tony’s video then I’ll pause his video and then I will paraphrase what he says in other words I will say the same information but I will use easier English I’ll speak a little more slowly and I will use more common words more direct words and I’ll help you understand this video now this technique is a deep learning technique so I go slow so you understand everything so in this video this is part one I will do just the beginning part of the video and we’ll go little by little and maybe I’ll do part 2 part 3 part 4 later if you like it so let’s start let’s we’ll just play Tony’s video I’m just gonna play pause explain play pause explain it’s very simple hey guys its Tony Robbins listen I’ve got a video here for you today that I think you really enjoy ok beginning he introduces himself hey guys guys just means people really means men but here he’s saying it just you know hey guys it just means hi everybody and he says I have a video here I think you will really enjoy I am um for the last I guess nine months or so since the economy took its giant to collapse so he’s saying for the last nine months since the economy took its giant collapse collapse means a big fall something Falls or kind of falls down is really the idea fall down like a building if you have a building if it collapses the whole building falls down so the economy the world economy especially the American economy it fell down right it’s gone down very fast so that’s what collapse means so he’s saying since this time nine months ago the economy collapsed it went down very fast he’s been thinking all over the world in different areas financially I’ve been meeting people that are trying to figure out what to do financially so he’s saying I’ve been meeting a lot of people who are trying to figure out trying to understand what to do financially of course financially means uh with money or about money so Tony’s meeting all these people right the economy went down people are losing their jobs and Tony is meeting a lot of these people and they’re saying what should I do my business is having problems or I lost my job so all these people need financial help and Tony’s been thinking how can I help them how can I help them and I brought so many people in business who are trying to figure out what to do their customers are responding way that she says there are so many people in business who are trying to figure out trying to understand or know what to do they’re having problems their customers are responding in a different way the customers are not doing what they did before maybe they’re buying less for example they’re hanging onto their money and their customers are hanging on to their money to hang on to something is to hold it and keep it it means you don’t want to let go if you hang on to your money it means you’re trying to keep your money you don’t want to spend the money you don’t want to give the money so obviously if you’re a business person it’s a problem if your customers hang on to their money right they’re not buying from you so Tony said I need a lot of people now and their customers are holding on to the money hanging on to the money they’re not buying from them concerned and so and they’re concerned these business people are concerned these people are concerned they’re worried to be concerned means to be worried I thought you know the traditional approaches to business are not making a difference so he said I realized I I realized you know the traditional approaches to business it means the traditional methods the normal methods for business they’re not making a difference to make a difference means to contribute or to succeed or to improve make an improvement so that’s what this phrase means if you say I want to make a difference it means I want to improve something or help somehow to make a difference so he’s saying the old traditional methods are not making a difference they’re not improving they’re not helping people they’re not helping business people people need a new way of doing business sounds kind of like learning English to me but anyway let’s go what I’m best at is modeling and then Tony says what I am best at is modeling what does he mean no he’s saying he’s using model as a verb to model to model means to find a success person and basically to copy what they are doing copy how they think do what they do think how they think feel how they feel right if you want to be great with stocks investing maybe you get Warren Buffett right super rich guy and you model him you see what does Warren Buffett do you do the same thing that’s what he means and so Tony says I’m great at modeling I find the best person and then I see how do they think what do they do and I do the same thing I’ve always what I wanted to fear something out I go to people that are the best in that area and saying what I want to figure something out when I want to understand something when I want to learn or know something I find the best person in that area and then I model them I asked him questions I learned what they know I copy what they do so what he’s doing now he found two very successful people in new business internet business Frank Kern and John Reese these guys are very very successful Frank Kern with his internet business he made can’t remember the number it was I think eighteen or twenty three million dollars in one day one day his business made I can’t it maybe eighteen I’ll say eighteen it’s more its eighteen or more million dollars in one day John Reese he was the first person to make $1,000,000 in a day so several years ago with his internet business he made $1,000,000 in just one day 24 hours and then later he made a lot more money and Frank Kern of course later made 18 million in one day so these two guys are really masters they’re really really good with internet businesses so Tony realized ah these guys are the best I will go to them I will talk to them I will learn from them so that I can also learn how to succeed with my business higher and in Tony Tony likes to help other people that’s his business so Tony realized okay I’m gonna learn from these guys I will learn from Frank Kern I will learn from John Reese and then I will find a way to help a lot of other people teach a lot of people what they know so that a lot of people can start their own little business maybe a little internet business maybe a small business in their town and they can use the same ideas the same strategies to also succeed so Tony wants to help a lot of people succeed figure out what they’re doing and teach myself how to do that and then teach others do the same one so he’s saying first I find the best people then I teach myself how to do what they’re doing so he found the best people John Reese and Frank Kern then he learned from them so that he Tony could also succeed with an internet business and then finally the third step now he wants to share this information with all of us so that we can also succeed and we can do well and we can survive and we can be happy in this difficult economy if I proven it’s worth with myself I said I would find the best of the best I want to find the best of the best the very very top people
