The following list of 25 Tony Robbins quotes on money and achieving financial freedom is split into five parts. Each part has five quotes that collectively illustrate essential points from his book, Money: Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom. If you would like to read his, “7 steps to Financial Freedom” in full, his book comes highly recommended—the five parts listed below simply capture themes that will give you strong insights and solid starting points for your journey forward towards financial freedom.
Part 1 is about asking the right questions. This, in my opinion is one of the most underrated and beneficial mind hacks you can practice. Why? Because questions direct focus; focus directs actions; and actions direct life.
Part 2 is where we hear the truth about money from Tony. Is money what we’re really after? Or is there a deeper dynamic at play?
Part 3 is your wake up call! You are where you are today because of the choices you made yesterday. Sorry not sorry. If you want to build your wealth then you need to build YOUR value.
Part 4 shares key ideas that will help you achieve financial freedom—the state you achieve when you can cover the cost of living, exit the rat race, and only do work that fulfills you and excites you (work that you would do if money were no object).
Part 5 discusses how you can live your best life. It’s about growth, contribution, and finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every day. If you would like to jump to one of the parts right away, you can click on one of the links below:

By internalizing the lessons and applying these concepts, you can immediately alter the direction of your life for the better. For specific strategies and more depth, you’ll have to pick up a copy of his book (or listen to the audiobook) and put in the work. With advice about taking control of your financial decisions, to setting up a savings and investing plan, to destroying myths about what it takes to save and invest, to setting up a “lifetime income plan,” the book is filled with advice and practices for making the financial game not only winnable—but winnable for life.
Part 1: Ask the Right Questions
“To get results, you can’t just ask the question once, you have to become obsessed with finding its greatest answer(s).”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“What do you focus on most often? What’s your life’s obsession? Finding love? Making a difference? Learning? Earning? Pleasing everyone? Avoiding pain? Changing the world? Are you aware of what you focus on most; your primary question in life? Whatever it is, it will shape, mold, and direct your life.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“The average person asks questions such as ‘How do I get by?’ or ‘Why is this happening to me?’ Some even ask questions that disempower them, causing their minds to focus on and find roadblocks instead of solutions. Questions like ‘How come I can never lose weight?’ or ‘Why can’t I ever hang on to my money?’ only move them farther down the path of limitation. I have been obsessed with the question of how do I make things better? How do I help people to significantly improve the quality of their lives now? This focus has driven me for 38 years to find or create strategies and tools that can make an immediate difference. What about you? What question(s) do you ask more than any other?”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Knowing information is not the same as owning it and following through. Information without execution is poverty. Remember: we’re drowning in information, but we’re starving for wisdom.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Most people overestimate what they can do in a year, and they massively underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade or two. The fact is: you are not a manager of circumstance, you’re the architect of your life’s experience.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
Part 2: The Truth About Money
“Always remember the ultimate truth: life is not about money, it’s about emotion. The real goal is to have the lifestyle you want, not the things. When you die, someone else gets those things anyway. They’re not yours. I have no illusions: as much as I cherish and enjoy ‘my’ resort in Fiji, I know I’m just the caretaker. Someday someone else will own this property.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Attaining possessions is not the goal. Money itself is not the goal. Our worth is not measured by the weight of our bank accounts but, rather, by the weight of our souls. The path to money, the places money can take us, the time and freedom and opportunity money can bring—these are what we’re really after.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“How would you live your life if you could wake up each day knowing there was enough money coming in to cover not only your basic needs but also your goals and dreams? The truth is, a lot of us would keep working, because that’s the way we’re wired. But we’d do it from a place of joy and abundance. Our work would continue, but the rat race would end. We’d work because we want to, not because we have to. That’s financial freedom.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“So much of what makes us wealthy is free. The secret to wealth is gratitude. It’s not just what we achieve or accomplish. It’s what we appreciate. It’s not just the adventure of a cruise. It’s what we take the time to enjoy. You can find an adventure and joy in those you love, in the dancing eyes of your children, or the joyous faces fo those you love. There are jackpots everywhere if you wake up to the beauty of your life today. So don’t vow to someday get beyond scarcity; start beyond it. Realize how lucky you are and all the wealth you possess in love, joy, opportunities, health, friends, and family. Don’t get rich. Start rich.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“If you want to be rich, start rich. What can you be grateful for today? Who can you be grateful for today? Could you even be grateful for some of the problems and the pain that you’ve been through in your life? What if you took on the new belief that everything in life happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you? What if you believed in your heart of hearts that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you? That every step along the way is helping strengthen you so that you can become more, enjoy more, and give more. If you’ll start from that place, money won’t be the source of your pleasure and your pain. Making money will just be a fun journey of mastery, and wealth a great vehicle to achieve what matters most in life.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
Part 3: Your Wake Up Call
“Things flow to you when you do your part first.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“I meet people everyday who tell me the job market is frozen, or they’ve been laid off and fear they’ll never find work again. But I’m here to tell you it’s not the market, it’s you. You can increase your earnings potential—anyone can. You can add value to the marketplace. You can learn new skills, you can master your own mind-set, you can grow and change and develop, and you can find the job and economic opportunity that you need and deserve.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“The secret to wealth is simple: Find a way to do more for others than anyone else does. Become more valuable. Do more. Give more. Be more. Serve more. And you will have the opportunity to earn more—whether you won the best food truck in Austin, Texas, or you’re the top salesperson at your company or even the founder of Instagram.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Money is nothing more than a reflection of your creativity, your capacity to focus, and your ability to add value and receive back. If you can find a way to create value—that is, add value for a massive number of people—you will have an opportunity to have a massive amount of economic abundance in your life.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“The only way to become wealthy, and stay wealthy, is to find a way to do more for others than anyone else is doing in an area that people really value. If you become a blessing in other people’s lives, you too will be blessed. Money is only one of those blessings, but it is a blessing. It’s simply another form of freedom and abundance.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
Part 4: Your Path to Financial Freedom
“You’re already a financial trader. You might not think of it in just this way, but if you work for a living, you’re trading your time for money. Frankly, it’s just about the worst trade you can make. Why? You can always get more money, but you can’t get more time.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Success leaves clues. People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky; they’re doing something differently than everyone else does.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Disappointment is inevitable when you are attempting to do anything of great scale. Instead, let your disappointments drive you to find new answers; discipline your disappointments. Learn from every failure, act on those learnings, and success becomes inevitable.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“It doesn’t matter where you stand in relation to your friends, your family, your colleagues, or clients. All that matters is your personal journey. It’s tempting to look at others as a yardstick and convince yourself that you’re all the way out in front, with the appearance of a lead, or resign yourself to the back of the pack. But that’s not the point. The race of life is a marathon, not a sprint. The only thing to do is focus on the path in front of you. Look ahead. Establish your own pace. Keep moving forward. And then create that plan.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“The best way to get a result, the fastest way, is to find someone who has already accomplished what you’re after, and model his or her behavior. If you know someone who used to be overweight but has kept himself fit and healthy for a decade, model that person! You have a friend who used to be miserable in her relationship and now is passionate and in love for ten years going? Model her. You meet someone who started with nothing and has developed wealth and sustained it through time? Learn from those strategies! These people aren’t lucky. They’re simply doing something different than you are in this area of life.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
Part 5: Living your Best Life
“The real joy in life comes from finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every single day.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“It used to be that the goal was to get rich and retire by the age of 40. Now the goal is to get rich and work until you’re 90. Nearly half of all individuals who earn $750,000 per year or more say they will never retire, or if they do, the earliest they would consider it is age 70.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“Life is really about creating meaning. And meaning does not come from what you get, it comes from what you give. Ultimately, what you get will never make you happy long term. But who you become and what you contribute will.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“If you won’t give a dime out of a dollar, you won’t give $1 million out of $10 million. The time to give is now! When I had nothing, I began this process. The reward is that if you give, even at the times when you think you have very little, you’ll teach your brain that there is more than enough. You can leave scarcity behind and move toward a world of abundance.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
“The ultimate thing that stops most of us from making significant progress in our lives is not somebody else’s limitations, but rather our own limiting perceptions or beliefs. No matter how successful we are as human beings, no matter how high we reach personally, professionally, spiritually, emotionally, there’s always another level. And to get there, we have to be honest with ourselves; honest about our unconscious fears.”
Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
