True, but I wonder if people like Robbins also appeal to adherents of prosperity theology/prosperity gospel. Setting aside the TV preachers who promise riches if you'll just donate way more than you can afford, there's a subset of Christian churches with a strong message of you DESERVE to be prosperous and Jesus WANTS you to be prosperous.
Perhaps Jesus "wants you to be prosperous" (maybe to enable your ability to tithe in greater amount?)
However NOBODY "DESERVES" ANYTHING MORE THAN THEY EARN!!
Nobody is owed SHIT by anybody else... regardless of Leftist government spew.
Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Odumbo, et al, can all just KISS ASS with their "You Deserve _______ at the expense of others because you're black, Hispanic, poor, stupid, lazy, etc." BS.
I think Robbins is trying to say that some people fail due to self sabotage. From the Christian perspective, the Bible says "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." Other people may subconsciously not want to succeed because it would make them different from their peer group. Thus, Robbins emphasizes that "you deserve" wealth, so don't self-sabotage your efforts.
However, for people who don't have psychological issues relating to money, the phrase "wealth you deserve" sounds like an entitlement mentality.
The funny thing is, these guys know for a fact the percentages stay the same. There will always be the top 1% and it is very hard to get to that category no matter how much positive thinking you do. Especially when your paying one of the top 1% $1000 to feel warm and fuzzy for a few hours.
It's like the retired guys who want to learn to trade with their nest egg and will pay $500- $2500 to "learn" how to do so in a seminar. Sell 25-50 seats to the seminar and the guy up front talking just raked in a butt load of money for a few hours work.

Working to improve yourself and learn new ways to look at life and get your head straight is good. Paying a pied piper like Robbins a grand to learn the secret is bad. You could get some of his material for almost free at a book sale. A buddy gave me a set of one of his change your life in 30 days tapes. I never listened to them but it didn't appear to have done much to help my buddy.
