Tony Robbins was a janitor at 17. What's your happy?:
Ronnie Kinsey
February 23, 2025
Did you know at 17, Tony Robbins cleaned toilets?
A janitor earning $40 a week.
It was not glamorous or powerful, but it taught him something:
if you want more, you give more.
Philanthropy isn’t only for the wealthy.
It’s for the driven - the awake. The ones who know success feels hollow without significance.
It’s about far more than money - it’s about meaning.
So - what’s your happy?
Is it an impact? Legacy? Freedom?
Because giving back isn’t an afterthought it’s the reason you keep moving.
It sharpens your purpose and grounds your achievements.
It’s the invisible thread connecting what you do to why you do it.
The best leaders know this.
They don’t just build companies - they build futures.
They give. Time. Knowledge. Opportunity.
Because they understand:
Giving isn’t charity. It’s clarity.
Tony Robbins didn’t stay a janitor.
We see publicly how things turned out for Tony.
But he never forgot that hunger -
Not for money but for meaning.
That’s what separates success from significance.
So ask yourself:
Why do you do what you do?
For applause? Or for the quiet satisfaction of making a dent in someone’s world?
The truth is simple:
You won’t find yourself happy by holding on.
You find it by letting go.
By giving without keeping score.
And when you lead that way?
You don’t just succeed.
You matter.
