Welcome to Impact Theory. Hey, success. Welcome to Impact Theory. Hey everybody, welcome to another

episode of AMA Live. I'm your host, Tom Billu, and today I'm going to be taking your questions.

So make sure that you drop them into the comment box. And so you can get all of your questions answered.

I get hit up a lot on social. And this is your chance. I'm always telling people to come here during the AMA live, so make sure that you drop them in. All right, the first question. And by the way, if this has added value to your life in the past, please do you share it. And as we go, if it's adding value, please share it. That'd be amazing. That would mean the world to me. All right. So first

question is from Bertheny. Is that really? That's not a typo? All right. Bertheny duverglass.

How can I fire my family when I live with them? They don't care about my goals, but I'm

obsessed with them. I want success, but they try to put a roadblock in front of me all the

time. Okay, so firing your family, it's actually a really interesting way to look at it.

The conundrum here being, of course, that you live with them. At the end of the day, it's like

anything. I highly encourage people to sock away enough money that you're never beholden to

anybody. So I think that six months

salary or sorry, six months living is a good way to think about it. So I don't know how old

you are, but let's assume for a second that you're north of 18 where this gets a lot easier.

I think that being able to live on your own is wonderful. And if you can, that's great. If you don't need to, and you're not in a situation like this, staying with your parents for as long as you can to sock away as much money as you can, I think is even more beneficial. But if you're in a situation where you need to get out, at the end of the day, your family has to come second to what it is you're trying to accomplish in your life if you have to

choose between them. I'm a big fan of the Peter Diamandis rule that when given a choice between

two things, take both. So whenever humanly possible, if you don't need to fire your family,

I think having them in, having that support is really wonderful and is something that, man, anybody that has and can take advantage of is wonderful. But if you're in a situation where they're trying to stop you, they're holding you back, they're a negative influence on your life, they've got to come second to what it is you're trying to accomplish. And the only way that you're going to do that by putting distance between you is by having enough capital that you can get out of the house. Now, let's assume for a second just to answer the really hard question that you actually can't leave and that you're stuck in the house and that you're not going to be able to fire your family the way that you want, you still can limit the amount of interaction that you have with them. And most importantly, you can limit the effect that that interaction has on with you, has on you,

excuse me. So the most important thing here is to meet them with compassion. So whenever I meet
