I can tell from the way he's speaking that Bill Clinton is about to finish his speech. The small, appreciative audience has loved it, but I've been focused on just one man sitting on the top table. At 6 foot 7 inches, Tony Robbins is a towering presence even when sitting down.

By now I have spoken alongside Tony twice, but the truth is, we didn't meet backstage before or after the events – there just isn't time, and Tony generally helicopters in and helicopters out. It's now almost ten years to the day since I committed to become a speaker when I looked into Tony's eyes.

Clinton gets a standing ovation but this is my moment and I make a beeline for Tony Robbins.

I tap him on the shoulder. He turns and stands up.

‘Hi Tony, my name's Andy Harrington. I'm not sure if you remember me, but we've shared the stage together alongside Richard Branson and Donald Trump. Could I share a story with you?’

And then it hit me all at once. It feels like déjà vu. I'm almost lost for words. I'm looking once again into those same eyes that I looked into ten years ago.

I update Tony on the last decade and all that has happened and how grateful I am for inspiring me all those years ago. For me, Tony Robbins is the real deal – the original and the best.

What I learned is that my life experiences shaped me to be uniquely qualified to do what I do. In life I believe you either win or you learn, and over the years I have learned much and now I give back by teaching others how to turn their passion into profit.
