QUOTES:

“People are afraid of not getting validated or they’re afraid of judgment that they perceive from people that exist or don’t exist in their lives.” [3:43]

“I didn’t lose the five years, I lost the assets, which were not the most valuable thing that I had earned over that time. It was the skills, the experience and the character traits, I still had those.” [9:19]

“There’s a misnomer around education, […] They think that exposure to information is learning and I don’t think that’s true, or at least it hasn’t been for me.” [12:00]

“Most people have a dramatic underestimation of how much volume it takes to be successful.” [12:53]

“Be okay with the fact that you are going to suck and it is okay to suck, you should expect to suck, and it would be unreasonable for you to be good if you haven’t done it before, […] are you asking the universe to be unreasonable for you by expecting to be good on your first try.”[14:02]

“If you can wait a year, you can make a ton of money. […] If you can wait a decade you’re going to be above the one percent, […] do the doing without seeing the result.” [26:09]

“Most people had a graveyard of failures before they had their actual first success.” [34:17]

“With 20 hours of focused effort most people can be pretty decent at something, […] but most people spend years waiting to do the first hour.” [34:26]

“When you hear somebody speak and they really resonate with you, they give you the chills, you get excited, it’s because they’re either putting words to something that you felt but you didn’t know how to articulate and now it’s super concrete in your mind or they make you realize that you believe something that wasn’t true.” Tom Bilyeu [54:18]

“You’ve got to optimize for the game to be fun when you’re losing.” Tom Bilyeu [1:08:39]

“I judged myself so much on not being happy all of the time because I thought there was something wrong with the fact that I wasn’t happy that I drove myself insane not being happy rather than just being like, […] ‘I’m just going to do the stuff and just f*ck happiness, for a minute.’” [1:21:03]

“The difference between rich people and poor people, successful people and not successful people is the degree to which they attribute or give power to their circumstance.” [1:33:23]

“You may blame your circumstances but no one else will care.” [1:34:54]

    I try to listen to business podcasts while I work. I have spent 1.5 hrs listening and I'm only at 25 minutes. The amount of ads on YouTube is getting ridiculous. It's like every time Tom talks I get half a sentence before the ads pop up. By the time I move across the room to skip them I have already forgotten what Tom was saying.

    love this interview. new subscriber here, originally from iraq 🇮🇶 came to the us as a immigrant in 2016 and ended up getting pregnant at the age 16 i’m 21 now. I had to grow up fast and make my own money for the past years. Living on my own since 16 paying my own bills and everything. I got inspired by this interview and especially the interviewer. I really enjoyed when you mentioned you own personal struggles. I feel so inspired to get out there and get to it💯I’m currently in college studying to be a lawyer. 👩‍🎓

    Wow, this video really hit home for me! One thing I learned is that your self-worth shouldn't just come from money or success, but from your actions and the effort you put in. It's surprising how much power we give to our excuses instead of owning our circumstances. Also, the idea of using a future perspective, like imagining being 85 looking back on today, is a game-changer. It helps you realize that many of our current worries won’t matter in the long run. Lastly, the focus on enjoying the journey, even with all its ups and downs, is so important. It’s all about that feeling of progress rather than just the destination! Thanks for sharing these insights!
