Robbins began promoting seminars for motivational speaker and author Jim Rohn when he was 17 years old.[8][9][10]
In the early 1980s, Robbins, a practitioner of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and Ericksonian hypnosis, partnered with NLP co-founder John Grinder.[10] He subsequently learned to firewalk and incorporated it into his seminars.[11]
In 1988 Robbins released his first infomercial for his self-help program "Personal Power," which was produced by Guthy Renker.[12]
In 1997, Robbins launched the Leadership Academy seminar.[13][14]
Together with Cloé Madanes, Robbins founded the Robbins-Madanes Center for Intervention, an organization that trains life skills coaches to help families and individuals deal with addiction and other issues.[14][15]
In 2014, Robbins joined a group of investors to acquire rights to launch a Major League Soccer franchise in Los Angeles, California, referred to as the Los Angeles Football Club. The soccer team entered competition in 2018.[16][17][18]
In 2016, Robbins partnered with Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guber and Washington Wizards co-owner Ted Leonsis to purchase Team Liquid, an eSports professional gaming organization.[19] In 2017 Team Liquid won The International 7, a Dota 2 tournament with a prize pool of over $24 million.[20]
Robbins has worked on an individual basis with Bill Clinton,[21] Justin Tuck,[22] Wayne Gretzky, Serena Williams,[23] Hugh Jackman,[24] and Pitbull.[25] He has counseled American businessmen Peter Guber, Steve Wynn, and Marc Benioff.[26] He was named one of the "Top 50 Business Intellectuals" by Accenture[27] and one of the "Top 200 Business Gurus" by the Harvard Business Press,[28] and in 2007 was ranked on the Forbes Celebrity 100.[29]
Robbins was criticized for comments alluding to the Me Too movement at a seminar in San Jose, California, on March 15, 2018:[30][31] "If you use the #MeToo movement to try to get significance and certainty by attacking and destroying someone else . . . all you've done is basically use a drug called significance to make yourself feel good." He went on to tell a story about a "very powerful man" who passed on hiring a female candidate even though she was the most qualified because she was too attractive and would be "too big a risk".[30] He later posted an apology on his Facebook page.[32]
Robbins has a chapter giving advice in Tim Ferriss' book Tools of Titans.
