Tony Robbins' 7 steps to financial freedom in retirement

1. Make the decision to become an investor, not a consumer. You have to commit a certain percentage of your income to savings for your financial freedom.

2. Become an insider on investing. Know the rules of the game. Understand mutual funds and learn what mutual funds beat the market or their benchmark over any 10-year period.

3. Make the game winnable. Figure out how much money you need for financial security and financial independence.

4. Evaluate your asset allocation. Put your money in different types of investments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities or real estate. Diversify your investments.

5. Create a lifetime income plan. Make sure you won't run out of income for as long as you live.

6. Invest like the .001%.

7. Just do it, enjoy it and share it. Make a commitment to be wealthy now, not in the future.
