Summary

Living the good life, is pretty much at the top of everyone’s list. The problem is that nearly everyone is making decisions and acting in ways that don’t lead to their version of a good life they wish they had. To call it self-sabotage seems like an understatement. In this round of talks with Tom, we have Will, Noelle, and George digging deeper with questions about what it takes to create a good life you’re excited for every day. After building a billion dollar unicorn company, and investing years of transparency to bring value to people, like yourself, at scale, Tom Bilyeu is very clear and direct on exactly what it takes for you to succeed at whatever level you want to aim for Key ideas from this episode you don’t want to miss: Top 5 behaviors and mental traps that lead to miserable life How to let go of beliefs holding you back The trade offs of being a Jack of all trades or the master of one How to use distraction as a tool of productivity Why your life is a reflection of your choices not your circumstances. Hearing some of these things can sting, but when you prioritize the good life over what makes you feel good right now, you take the sting and get focused on what you want, how you’ll get there, and getting relentlessly obsessed with taking massive actions everyday until you get there.

0:00.0	As you get older, you are less plastic.
0:02.7	So it actually does become harder to learn new things.
0:05.5	You begin to find the things that work for you.
0:07.3	And so you think, oh, well, I know how to do this.
0:10.6	And then you encounter that moment where it stops working.
0:13.2	And so now it's like, oh, wait a second.
0:18.1	So Tom, we're going to bring it to the light later,
0:20.0	but I'll start at the deep dark ends.
0:22.1	What are the top five behaviors and mental traps people do to live a really miserable life?
0:30.5	What do people do? So ego is going to be number one. So the whole idea, if you want to live the good life, is to recognize that you are a deeply
0:40.1	flawed individual that is holding yourself back, that your life is a reflection entirely of your
0:44.4	choices and not your circumstances. And if you're not happy with that, that means you're doing
0:48.5	something wrong. So I'll define right and wrong as it's right when it moves you towards your goal
0:53.2	and it's wrong when it moves you away. So if you're not where you want to be, you are by definition doing something

1:12.4	So first of all, it assumes you know what your goal is. But for now, let's assume that you do know your
1:16.5	goal. So you've got to guess. This is what I would need to do in order to get to my goal.
1:22.0	You're going to do that thing and it's going to fail. Now, we all have to struggle with, oh, I tried the thing and it failed. The problem is
1:30.2	most people put up their ego defenses, find a way to believe that it was somebody else's fault.
1:36.2	It was the economy. It was where I was born. It was that my parents didn't have money.
