People Burned Fire Walking Across Hot Coals – Necessary For Success?

Previous news reports have said that dozens of people were burned after walking over hot coals at a Tony Robbins motivational seminar.

Reports said Robbins didn’t speak publicly about what might have gone wrong, but his organization, Robbins Research International, issued statements saying that “Someone not familiar with the fire walk observed the event and called 911 erroneously reporting hundreds of people requiring medical attention for severe burns.” However, news reports described ambulances and hospitalizations.

But is it necessary to fire walk across hot coals to achieve the success you want?

News reports had further described at least five hurt who had to be hospitalized per officials. Also reporting ambulances where lined up outside the convention center about 11 p.m. that night.

It was also reported that the event was described as a  “Turn Fear Into Power” event and spoke about overcoming the roadblocks of fear. “Storm across a bed of hot coals,” the website said, “Once you start doing what you thought was impossible, you’ll conquer the other fires of your life with ease.”

But interestingly, reports also said all participants were required to sign a liability waiver.

No, it’s not necessary to fire walk across hot coals and risk your well-being for goal achievement.

If coaching marketing and methods have reached the point of clients signing liability waivers and making ambulance trips to the emergency room, its time to take a step back and realize what’s actually necessary for goal achievement.

It’s not necessary for coaching that supports client’s goal achievement to place them in harm’s way, but instead should do no harm and facilitate them to success through real coaching technology of a professional structured framework that is proven and safe.

It’s true that an individual doesn’t have to conform to their roadblocks of fear, and can breakthrough in transforming their lives as a result of following steps in a process that makes goals possible. You can close the achievement gap in your life, profession, or business goals.
