After going to Date with Destiny in 2019, I bought a ticket for my wife for Christmas 2019 (with money I didn't have) to ensure that she could have the same experience. COVID happened, and their team kept asking for me to use my $5,000 ticket to go to a virtual event. I refused and waited patiently, and now they are telling me that the ticket I originally purchased was for Date with Destiny virtual, even though COVID hadn't even happened when I bought it and Date with Destiny virtual didn't exist and wasn't even conceived of yet. These people stole my money and won't refund it and won't give me what I paid for. I'm a huge fan of Tony's personal work, but his organization is disgusting and he should be ashamed of it.
I have been a fan of Tonys writing for years, so when I finally had the chance to go to his Business Mastery seminar, I jumped at the chance. I cannot overemphasize how disappointed I was. My disappointment was not that his minimal business advice was so basic and underwhelming, but that his main purpose during the seminar was to sell people on his Platinum Partnership program. My wife and I paid $16,000 dollars to attend a five day seminar whose main purpose was to manipulate us into spending close to ten times that amount to be part of Tonys exclusive high end partnership reserved for only select qualified individuals. As it turns out, the only qualification needed was a credit card and a willingness to fall for this charlatan. After hours of tearful and Oscar-worthy theatrics accompanied by music and a light show, Tony mentions that though only a few spots for his Platinum Partnership remained, anyone interested is welcome to apply. Afterwards, briefly moved by his performance, my wife and I went to the table to fill out an application. What we found was that there was no application process, only people actually helping us fill out a binding contract promising proximity is power and an opportunity to rub shoulders with the business elite for the low low price of $140,000 a year for us both. We personally saw dozens of other contracts being signed with the help of Tonys eager staff members (far more than the suggested 6 or 7 spots Tony had hinted remained). I was embarrassed that my wife and I almost fell for this highly intellectualized scam. In addition to this bit of hucksterism, the remainder of the seminar presenters were schlepping there own expensive products after sensationalized power point presentations. I urge you to make your own judgements, but my experience of this man was sigh-worthy and embarrassing disappointment at his ego-driven underhanded personal financial agenda.
World class organization! Events are amazing, the programs help you make real personal progress, and the staff is professional and courteous. Amazing job Tony!
I think Tony Robbins is fantastic and I have benefited from his work and insights into living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, his company falls far short of the excellence he demands of himself. The downside is that I was genuinely a raving fan telling everyone about him, but the experience with his company has dampened my enthusiasm greatly. I bought a full Mastery University and Business Mastery package at UPW and changed my mind a couple months afterwards and requested a refund. After getting no reply to the online contact request form, I called in and eventually got a rep to call me. After arguing with me about how I should keep my package, he informed me that they charge $2k per contract in line with the contractual print. I technically signed 2 contracts so this was not ideal. I appealed on the grounds of customer service but that was denied. They did allow me to use the money towards Robbins products but getting a refund is a pretty basic customer service issue in today's world. Overall, the conference, books, podcast, and website offer a lot of valuable life changing information but his company lacks a very basic level of customer service. I've read other people's reviews who talk about him trying to gouge/sell people more stuff at events. While I definitely felt that, I don't want to be cynical and throw out the baby with the bath water. He is still a force for life changing goodness. Hopefully he can find a way to balance that life mission with business practices.
