Discover the Tony Robbins principle that transformed my business and my life – and learn how you can upgrade your proximity for exponential growth.

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

"Proximity is power."

The phrase sounded intriguing, but I didn't truly grasp its significance until I attended Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within (UPW) event. It was a life-altering experience that opened my eyes to the profound impact of the people we surround ourselves with.

The "Average of Five" Revelation: You Become Who You Spend Time With

Tony Robbins emphasized a simple yet profound truth: you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

Think about it. Take a look at the five people you're closest to. Their beliefs, their habits, their energy – it all rubs off on you, shaping your own mindset, your goals, and ultimately, your results.

From Immigrant to Influencer: The Power of Proximity in Action

As an immigrant from Malaysia, I arrived in the United States with broken English and limited connections. Building a successful business seemed like an impossible dream.

Through Tony Robbins' Platinum Partnership program, I found myself surrounded by some of the most successful and influential people in the world – Peter Diamandis, Keith Ferrazzi, even Tony Robbins himself!

This proximity to greatness had a transformative effect on me:

  • Elevated Thinking: I was exposed to new ideas, bold visions, and a level of ambition I'd never encountered before.

  • Expanded Network: I built relationships with individuals who opened doors to opportunities I could have only dreamed of.

  • Increased Confidence: Being surrounded by successful people instilled a belief in my own potential and the courage to pursue my dreams.

Upgrade Your Proximity: Two Paths to Exponential Growth

There are two ways to upgrade your proximity:

  1. Buy Your Way In: Invest in programs, events, or masterminds that provide access to high-level individuals and communities.

  2. Earn Your Way In: Develop your skills, build your reputation, and create value that attracts the attention of those you admire.

The Entrepreneurial Journey: You Don't Have to Go It Alone

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, but it doesn't have to be. Surround yourself with supportive, like-minded individuals who challenge you, inspire you, and celebrate your successes.
