Summary

You’re not going to achieve this level of success being weak and not absolutely sure about what you want to accomplish. Because I’ve been to the other side of the rainbow, I can tell you the pot of gold you’re after isn’t worth anything if you don’t prioritize chasing fulfillment first. If you want to get ahead of the 99% of people that say they want to succeed but never actually do anything to succeed this episode is the juice you need to: Become mentally tougher. You’re going to adapt or die Say f*ck goals, learn how to want it bad enough to do what it takes on the days it sucks Avoid habits that stand between you and the good life QUOTES: “Go at it like a freak of nature.” “You are average, but you can get better. Go f*cking learn.” “When you go that hard everything will relent to your superior will.” “The most terrifying thing about excuses it that they are valid.” “I’m not smarter than the average person, but man, I am way harder to break.” “It’s right when it moves you towards your goals and it’s wrong when it moves you away.” “You need a maniacal focus, you need to be lasered in on one thing and you do it to the abstraction of everything else and you do it obsessively to the point where everything else in your life ideally is falling apart…” Follow Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheory.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ SPONSORS: elizabeth@advertisepurple.com Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?

0:00.0	You're listening to the Impact Theory podcast, your source of empowering ideas and actionable techniques
0:06.2	from the world's highest achievers. Join host Tom Bill You, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the
0:12.6	Billion Dollar brand Quest Nutrition, on a journey to unlock your potential and realize your vision of
0:18.2	success. Welcome to Impact Theory. If you want to really make progress in your
0:24.1	life, one of the keys is going to be to track that process. Now, the way to think about getting better
0:29.8	is you want to get incrementally better. The problem is if you're trying to get incrementally better,
0:34.1	you're basically going to stand still. So you want to be asking the famous
0:37.5	question that Peter Thiel asked, which is how do I make my 10-year plan happen in the next six
0:42.6	months? When you start thinking like that, it really does shift your thinking into having a
0:48.2	radically different approach. I think one of the big problems that people have when they're trying
0:52.9	to make progress is they set a goal that's quote unquote realistic.
0:57.1	And when it's realistic, it's not very exciting. I teach a whole class on the process of setting goals.
1:03.3	And one of the things that I tell people is you have to set goals that are exciting.
1:07.9	There's a whole bunch of research on this that shows the people that are most
1:11.1	likely to stick with their goals are the people that set a goal that is truly exciting to them.
1:15.9	The goals that are going to be exciting are going to be big goals. That's just the way the
1:19.4	human mind is wired. I'm telling you right now, there is an evolutionary imperative that has been
1:26.1	embedded in your brain and there's no way around it that
1:28.9	demands that you do hard things. I think from an evolutionary perspective that makes sense because
1:34.5	staying alive was hard. And if we didn't get an intrinsic emotional reward from doing hard things,
1:41.2	we would have died out. So we are all the ancestors of people that got off a little
1:45.8	bit on doing hard things. So when you don't do hard things, you don't get that positive feedback loop.
