Tony Robbins, motivational speaker and a good friend of Sylvester Stallone, tells the story of how the movie Rocky hit the big screen. Tony gives an insight into the history of this movie and how Sylvester’s sheer determination alone was the force behind getting this movie into theaters.

If you want to be successful in any undertaking you need to go for it with the same force and determination that Sly did. You just can’t give up at the first sign of resistance or get discouraged because someone disagreed with you. You have to just keep going until you get whatever it is you’re looking to get. Just be sure you actually want the thing you’re trying to get.
