Summary

We live in a world where all business owners have to be able to run two businesses: the business you’re in today and the business that you’re becoming. Because the world is changing constantly. We stand at a unique moment in history, where technology is replacing more jobs than it creates. And it is the business owners that are anticipating what is around the corner, rather than only focusing on running the business they’re in now, that will grow and thrive.

How will changes in technology impact you and your business? Could these advancements help or hurt your current model? In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, you will hear from both Tony and Martin Ford – software entrepreneur and author of the Financial Times and the McKinsey Business Book of the Year, “Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future” – as we delve into the power of anticipation and some of the biggest upcoming changes in technology.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Tony Robbins. Welcome to the podcast once again. Today's focus is on the power of
0:10.5	anticipation. Look, if I could give you one competitive advantage in business, it would be to stop
0:15.7	reacting and start anticipating. You know, we have all heard the story, I'm sure, and I had
0:19.9	the privilege of working with one of the greats in hockey, Wayne Gretz story, I'm sure, and I had the privilege of working
0:20.8	with one of the greats in hockey, Wayne Gretzky, and everyone said, look, he's not the tallest
0:25.6	guy, he's not the strongest guy, he's not the fastest guy, and yet he's the best. And when
0:30.3	somebody asked him a long time ago, you know, how is it that you managed to consistently
0:34.8	were the best players in the game, perhaps in history.
0:38.4	And he was very, very calm about it and very humble.
0:40.8	And he said, well, perhaps it's because I skate to where the puck is going, not where the puck is.

0:55.2	what's happening with competition, the greater advantage that you have. And yet it's also an advantage

1:12.2	An example I often give is playing a video game against the child.
1:15.9	I'm sure you've all been roped in at one point where you knew better.
1:19.4	And maybe you gave a child a gift for Christmas or their birthday.
1:22.9	And you're a mom, a dad, an aunt or an uncle.
1:25.5	And the young boy or girl says to you, oh, come play this
1:28.4	game with me, uncle, mom, dad, whoever you are, and you say, no, no, I'm not good at it.
