What is up my friend Tom Billio here and I have a big question to ask you how would you rate your level of personal discipline on a scale of 1 to 10 if your answer is anything less than a 10 I've got something cool for you

boring which is what kills most people are possibly scary or even painful now here is the thing achieving huge goals and stretching to reach your potential requires you to do those challenging stressful things

and to stick with them even when it gets boring and it will get boring building your levels of personal discipline is not easy but let me tell you it pays off

in fact I will tell you you're never going to achieve anything meaningful unless you develop discipline right I've just released a class from impact theory university called how to build ironclad discipline that teaches you the process of building yourself up in this area so that you can push yourself to do the hard things that greatness is going to require of you right click the link on the screen register for this class right now and let's get to

not just why are they using a substance or why they are obsessive pornography or gambling but what is that doing for them what is that giving and that they need what peace of mind what temporary relief

I think a lot about what my north star is what I want in my own life what sort of my ideal life looks like and then when I'm working with other people and trying to help them I think about you know what what is the north star that somebody

who's really in trouble I would advise hey adopt this as your north star do you have something like that that you think that people ought to strive for for their own sake

the reason I smirk when you ask that question is because it puts me in a position of some kind of expert

where is believe me every day I still work at figuring myself out and finding my direction and or refinding my direction and so on so it's not like I can say here is this pearl of wisdom take it and when with it and this you know just not like that for me

well let me turn the question on just for a moment and as a way for me to think about your question so I don't know a lot about you you know but what I do understand is that in significant ways you've made a tremendous success in your life

a lot of you know achieve things that a lot of people look at my god if I only had that I'd be okay but let me just ask you this I'm just absolutely curious

having achieved all that in the material world did you come to say to yourself oh I'm okay now the question is over definitely not

so what so what were you looking for so my north star in the beginning was wealth and that was I showed up every day trying to get rich and at about eight years into that I was

absolutely devastated spiritually is probably the right way to think about it I just felt dead inside and I at that point I was worth about two million dollars on paper

so my actual life was not the life of a wealthy person but I'm I had equity in a company and I went to my wife and I said hey I know that I promised I would make you rich one day

I'm going to need to take a step back for a minute because I am profoundly unhappy and she was like hey what I want for is your happiness and so do whatever you need to

and so do whatever you need to and so we were going to move to a tiny village in Greece and I was going to go back to writing which was my first love

okay and just do things that made me feel alive long story short my then business partners said hey don't leave we actually feel the same way

so why don't we build something that would give us what we're looking for and so if I had to shorthand what I came to realize I'm looking for which is very much my north star is
