Two weeks ago I listened to yet another incredible podcast by Tony Robbins. If you are reading my material and are not listening to Robbins; stop reading my material and dive into his work.

The thing I love about Tony’s work is that he is always giving 1000% more value to his listeners, subscribers, readers, and followers than they are ever going to give to him in return.

One of the coolest things I had ever heard actually came from his podcast the other week where he was talking to a lady (named Aly) push through her hurt and pain so that she could reach her potential as a person, a wife, and an entrepreneur. One thing he said was:

“Knowledge is not power. It is potential power. It is the application of knowledge that leads to power”.

After hearing this I immediately thought, “Of course — why haven’t I thought about this?”.

Then I thought, “Why isn’t anyone talking about this?”.

See knowledge is just that. Knowledge. It is nothing more than a placeholder; unless we choose to act on it.

A lot of us spending years gaining a ton of knowledge yet don’t truly apply it. One example I have heard…
