Tony Robbins – 6 Human Needs

If you are a Tony Robbins graduate of TR Mastery University as I am you  may know  there are only 6 reasons that people DO THINGS.

People’s Behaviours are based on their NEED (NOT GOALS)…

…AND There Are Only 6 Human Needs

Tony Robbins has identified these basic 6 human needs and believes everyone is motivated by their desire to fulfill these needs (in everything they do)

Knowing How you Meet Your Needs is Important for You to be able to “change” and  make lasting and empowering  improvements in your life.. including..

Improving Relationships

Improving Financial Status

etc..etc..

ALSO.. knowing  what motivates your clients to fulfill their needs may very well help you greatly in business.

=======================================

IF YOU WANT TO ASSESS YOUR OWN OR YOUR CLIENTS  6 HUMAN NEEDS PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW WITH YOUR REQUEST FOR THE TEST SURVEY

=======================================

Please scroll down to the end of this post to get a 6  Human Needs Test that is simple to use and that will give you information on the order of importance of a client’s needs (and your own – which may surprise you) I’m sending you the test, instructions for scoring, how to interpret the scores.

Everyone meets these 6 human needs in 1 of  3 ways:

1. Destructive or Dis-empowering  Ways

2. Neutral Ways

3. Constructive or Empowering Ways

If then, you can identify how you meet YOUR own 6 human needs you can take some very simple steps to change the dis-empowering or destructive ways to empowering or constructive ways .. .and then..

… Your Life WILL IMMEDIATELY be transformed forever.

Also, If you know what motivates your clients you can serve them better

This was main aim of the Tony Robbins, Date With Destiny (DWD) Event that I attended in the Gold Coast of Australia back in ..and I saw MANY Transformations as we went through the exercises.

The Basic 6 Human Needs are explained Briefly Here. As you read through them try to identify the main ways in which you satisfy the needs and then mark them off  as either empowering, dis-empowering or neutral.

Also to be able to continue meeting your needs they must be obtainable and sustainable, because if YOUR WAY it is TOO difficult and cannot be sustained you are going to be unfulfilled and unhappy.

So, for a happy and fulfilled Life the ways that You meet your needs must be OBTAINABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ie what lasts. Doing what is easy is normally temporary– examples below:

6 Human Needs: Driving Force Needs  (not desires) (like Food is a Need – a life sustaining need)

A. Personality Needs

1. Certainty:

Certainty / comfort of avoiding pain (survival)  instinct. The need to feel ‘Safe and Secure’ or ‘Comfortable’

Some Potential vehicles: Control / Consistency / Negative Identity / Faith / Completion

Some Disempowering / destructive Ways that people meet this need:

– Shopping –

– Crashing into the sofa and watching TV or DVDS continuously –

– Smoking –

– Over Eating –

Some EMPOWERING  ways :

– Jogging or going to gym –

– Engaging in favourite Hobby –

– Learning –

2.  Variety / Uncertainty

At the same time we want certainty, we also crave variety. Paradoxically, there needs to be enough UNcertainty to provide spice and adventure in our lives. We need uncertainty / variety/ challenges without which we cannot grow.

Some Potential Vehicles: Control / Negative Identity / Alcohol / Drugs / Food / New Job / Stimulating Conversation

Destructive / Disempowering Ways:

– Changing sex partners

– Taking  Drugs / smoking marijuana

Constructive / Empowering  ways:

– Competitive sport –

– Challenging hobbies such as mountaineering –

3. Significance. (Uniqueness / Special / Important) Deep down, we all want to be important. We want our life to have meaning and significance. I can imagine no worse a death than to think my life didn’t matter.

Some Potential Vehicles: Violence / Negative Identity / Material Possessions / Style /

Destructive / Disempowering Ways:

– Anger –

– smoking –

Neutral way – maybe  growing a beard –

Constructive / Empowering Ways:

– Taking a Leadership Role –

– Engaging in Charity work –

4. Connection/Love.  Bonding  – Onenedd – Saring – Intimacy. It would be hard to argue against the need for love. We want to feel part of a community. We want to be cared for and cared about.

Some Potential Vehicles: Sympathy through Injury or Sickness / Commit a Negative Act (Gets attention –connection) / Spirituality / Relationships – family friends –intimate /

Destructive/ Disempowering Ways:

– being argumentative (getting attention – forced connection) –

– trying to please everyone – to ‘FIT IN’ –

Constructive / Empowering Ways:

– Giving unconditional love –

– Speaking in front of a crowd –

B. Spiritual Needs:

5. Growth. There could be some people who say they don’t want to grow, but I think they’re simply fearful of doing so—or perhaps NOT doing so. To become better, to improve our skills, to stretch and excel may be more evident in some than others, but it’s there.

6. Contribution. The desire to contribute something of value—to help others, to make the world a better place than we found it is in all of us.
