One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.
American author, coach, and motivational speaker, Tony Robbins is a really big man -- both figuratively and literally.
In an episode of Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson Tony Robbins claimed to be 6 feet 7 inches tall.
Tony might very well have been that tall in his prime but tall people lose height faster than shorter ones and it seems Tony has lost some height with age as well.
We compared Mr. Robbin's height to that of people like Barack Obama (6'1"), Tom Brady (6'4½"), Kobe Bryant (6'5"), Magic Johnson (6'7½"), etc, and now we think Tony Robbins might very well have been 6'7" tall in his prime but he looks no more than 6'5" today.
His height in his prime was
6 ft 7 in (200.5 cm)
His present height is
6 ft 5 in (195.5 cm)
