On Today's Episode:
Feeling stuck and uncertain about how to break out of the routine you’re in is more common than you know. The road to success still starts with one step and watching this can be your step one if you’re willing to follow through with action.
Instead of spending time frustrated trying to discover your passion, understand that passion is developed and cultivated. It’s a decision to pursue and follow your curiosity.
Before you shave off one more hour from your sleep tonight, realize that you aren’t doing yourself any favors. Tom is adamant about diet, exercise, and sleep. It’s what allows him to execute at such a high level consistently with clarity of mind and complete focus.
This episode is a masterclass unto itself and covers everything from getting the right morning routine to getting so good you can’t be ignored or denied.
The only question now is, what do you want and what price are you willing to pay to get there?
“There’s a gap between who you are today and who you will need to become in order to execute against your why.” -Tom Bilyeu
QUOTES:
“For anybody that wants to achieve something extraordinary in their life, the third thing you need to focus on is mindset, the first two are diet and exercise.” [2:03]
“To get the most out of my day, to make the most of whatever hours I’m awake, I would rather be super sharp and well-rested, than try to wake up really early, be tired, be slow, be miserable…” [6:44]
“It is insanely important, and I believe that you can get ahold of your emotional states [20:11]
“Fear of confrontation, [...] part of that fear is coming from you having a vision of yourself that you’re worried will be diminished…” [24:16]
“Instead of trying to come out of the other side of confrontation looking cool or being right, [...] go into that confrontation with a desire to find out what is really true, what is really optimal…” [24:37]
“In the process of gaining hat mastery and fanning those flames it became a passion, but it wasn’t a passion right off the bat.” [29:47]
“You need to speak in a way that draws people in.” [36:42]
“The truth of the f*cking world is that until you take ownership of everything in your life, until you stop making excuses and blaming anybody, you will never go as far as you could go.” [39:45]
“Don’t worry about convincing people, meet them with compassion, [...] understand that a fixed mindset is its own punishment.” [41:36]
“You can never have two top priorities, [...] that doesn’t mean that there aren’t multiple things that aren’t important, but there can only be one top priority.” [42:48]
“You can become anything you want to become.” [46:52]
“We’re not judged by our intentions. We are judged by what we actually accomplish.” [56:27]
“Who you are today does not predict who you can become.” [1:03:42]
“There’s a difference between happiness and fulfillment, [...] fulfillment is often born of suffering, it’s about doing the things that are hard.” [1:21:45]
“A little bit of beating yourself up actually probably does move you towards your goal cause it kicks you in the ass and gets you moving.” [1:30:22]
“The second I give my power away to somebody else, I’m now at something else’s mercy.” [1:46:17]

| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:10.6 | and let me tell you right now discipline by its very nature means compelling yourself to do difficult things that are stressful |
| 0:17.2 | 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 |
| 0:29.2 | 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 |
| 0:37.0 | 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 |
| 0:59.1 | work I will see you inside this workshop and impact the university until then my friends be legendary. |
| 1:07.1 | At Ironhack we deliver boot camps and career support to help you start a new career in web development UX UI design data analytics and cyber security. |
| 1:16.1 | It only takes nine weeks and you can do it from wherever you are ironhack has a proven methodology of learning by doing providing you with the skills you need to succeed in tech get job ready for the careers of the future. |
| 1:27.1 | Applications for our 2023 boot camps are now open but if you're fast you can catch the last few open places for this year start your tech career at bit.ly slash ironhack apply. |
| 1:38.1 | Hurry up before the last places go go to bit.ly slash ironhack apply. |
| 1:44.1 | Let us dive into the very first question this one comes from Louis Christine in being this is from the connect inbox. |
| 1:51.1 | Do you follow any morning routine if so what does your morning routine look like and what is your thought process behind doing each of these actions. |
| 1:58.1 | Okay here goes first of all your morning routine starts the night before so go to bed early now I used to say that like a religion I was in bed by 9 p.m. |
| 2:08.1 | But now my schedule has gotten a little out of whack we've got a new piece of content called real impact by the way for anybody that's into film and TV in the mindset that you can glean from that. |
| 2:19.1 | You can go to youtube.com forward slash impact the rest studios and check that out but that routinely now has me seeing movies at far past my bedtime. |
| 2:28.1 | But I tried to go to bed as close to 9 is humanly possible every night safe the weekends. |
| 2:34.1 | And in that I sleep without an alarm so I wake up when I wake up the reason that I do that is because I want to get as much sleep as I need so I'm all about cognitive optimization. |
| 2:45.1 | So I'm not somebody who sets the alarm to make sure that I'm up at 4 in the morning but when I wake up at 4 in the morning I'm a very happy camper. |
| 2:53.1 | I usually get it used to be between 5 and 6 I'm now getting between 7 and 8 I have no idea why it changed completely randomly and as far as I can tell without reason. |
| 3:03.1 | But I wake up when I wake up I give myself 10 minutes to get out of bed and I do that because I'm lazy and my inclination is to lay in bed so I need a bright line that says I get out of bed immediately without wasting time so I'm out of bed and out of bed in 10 minutes or less. |
| 3:18.1 | I put my gym clothes next to my bed so that the easiest answer is to put my gym clothes on in fact I'd have to make a conscious choice not to which does lead to trigger in me a lot of conflict emotionally because it is my identity to immediately go to the gym to work out again partly for cognitive optimization and then also for longevity for health and for aesthetics. |
| 3:44.1 | But working out I think is incredibly important and I actually think that for anybody that wants to achieve something extraordinary in their life that the third thing that you need to focus on is mindset the first two are diet and exercise followed by mindset so I hit the gym first and foremost immediately after the gym I meditate and the reason that I do that is because I want to practice going from the sympathetic nervous system which is fight or flight which you're triggering in the gym through the heavy exertion your heart rate is up your breathing is shallow. |
