Hi again. I truly enjoyed many of your shows, but I'm unsubscribing bc of the profanity...its too much. Truly it's not needed in speech. You always get your point across.
Tom these bots 🤖 have no soul. Happy New Year and this video really motivated me. I know all this but no motivation. Thanks for being that motivation Brother.
@@samzee7747I second this. This need to constantly have profanity has increased over the years in his video. It's almost like he on purpose does it because he thinks he needs too. And his constant push for NFTS. Strange as a motivational speaker.
Good morning Tom, I appreciate your videos. They are used to start some of my mornings, I use them in class to show my students, to educate myself and to get motivated. I pray you, your family and your staff have a great 2024, take care of yourself, and produce some more amazing videos. Thank you, Joe
This is not a financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!
Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional
Very much appreciate it Scholars who study the stock market’s historical performance estimate that over time, the payment (and reinvestment, and compounding) of dividends have contributed anywhere from 30% to 90% of the S&P 500’s total returns. I want to spread across $400k into profit yielding dividend equities but unsure of which to get into.

Achieving success hinges on the proactive actions and steps you undertake to reach your goals. The process of building wealth necessitates cultivating positive habits, such as consistently allocating funds at regular intervals towards robust investment opportunities. Financial management, despite its critical importance, often becomes a topic avoided by many, eventually causing difficulties down the road. My sincere hope is that anyone who comes across this message is able to find success and fulfillment in life's endeavors!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learned from my last year's experience, I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
Very true! I've been able to scale from $50K to $189k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
Amanda Kathryn Sachs is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
Great advice. The only thing your missing is your nightly prayer. Dont leave God out he will help you kore than you know. Father i ask you for direction today. Amen.
He is great for that. Sometimes though, I feel like he doesn't really add anything to the points the guest made, just immediately moves on to his next question. Not saying it's a bad thing, it's just really unusual.
love this 3 hr movie on self improvement - although i have consumed your content for a few years now but you always pump me and prepare me to fight better. I'd love and most of your audience will love to hear the entire story of you and Lisa building Quest to Billions...much love & prayers
Maybe Tom isn’t a 160 IQ person but damn the dude is intelligent as hell. He is comparing himself to scientists and genius philosophers. When he said it makes him really pissed there are people that are smarter than him, I felt that in my bones. I’m smart enough to know how stupid I am.
Dear Tom, This is an amazing video, once more! I have been following your channel ever since I got to the USA, back in 2018. I have subscribed to other amazing channels with very good content but nothing is better than the content you create, how you develop your conversations or presentations and your fluency and proficiency. Man, you have a way with words! I look up to you in so many ways, especially because I would love to become at least 20% of what you are in terms of oratory and the beautiful use of the English language. You can judge by my writing style and the words I use that I am not a native speaker and I am still way far from getting closer to what you represent to me in terms of communication and eloquence. I hope the word idol does not have a bad connotation in English. I do know there is no better word in Spanish to name what I see in you, my friend. I am not a fanatic, I am a student and follower of your work. I am well aware that you may receive a ton of messages praising you. That is not my intention. I do look up to you and follow your recommendation as if they were a bible to me, but the reason of my message is related, precisely to the latter. I have stuck to all the instructions and recommendation to the letter. This my routine since November 2020: I wake up at 5am. (I go to bed at 9pm, despite the fact that we have a 3-year-old daughter). I meditate. I workout. I take a shower. I have my breakfast at 6:30am, lunch at 11am and dinner at 3pm, then fast until breakfast. (Partially also after reading the 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferris). I started this routine in 2020 and have attached to it since then. I am 48, just like you. Benefits: I lost 50 extra pounds that I had in 2020 and I have kept my weight on 170 lbs. I sleep a lot better. I quit alcohol in 2021. I quit smoking too. I have been part of three different businesses. I started my own small business a month ago. I have read a ton of books. I work a 9 to 5 as a teacher (7:30 to 4 actually) and from 4 to 8 I work in my office. I created my website (erictole.com), I have a tiny UA-cam channel in Spanish (I started a channel in English but my lack of confidence with the English language prevented me to continue with it). Why can I take off financially? I am stuck in debt from my previous business ventures and nothing seems to work out. I have read many books on finance. I watch podcasts and UA-cam videos. I have attended seminars. What is missing? My native language is Spanish. You can also judge by this writing that I am fluent in English. In fact, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English as a Second Language and teach English at a Community College. One of the reasons to become a teacher was precisely to overcome my lack of confidence with English. I speak a little bit of French (I was fluent in French but have lost some of it due to the lack of practice because I do not need to use it here in the USA). I would really love to hear from you, Tom. What are your thoughts on this? I could continue telling you the so many things I have done and my achievements, starting from the fact that I am Cuban and had to flee from communism in 2018 when I was 42 with my wife and my 9-year-old daughter. Please tell me something.
I was referring to the stock market but I’m willing to try out other financial market. I made gains from Nvidia and Microstrategy last year. Got my eyes on Bitcoin and Solana. How do you trade?
Nvidia was superb last year. Good picks. I trade based on the season of the market. It gives me a direction on implementing the right strategies for long or short term. I also trade based on the volatility of the market. Although it wasn’t easy till I came across a mentor who helped to keep me in the market loop. My mentor is Bernard Paul.
@@RichardWest- This would be a deciding factor when implementing the right strategies. Do you have factors you consider when you want to purchase a stock or crypto?
@@RichardWest- Paul is also my mentor. Paul’s willingness to share both successes and challenges has given me a realistic perspective on trading, helping me set realistic expectations and goals as a beginner
Brilliant, thank you! I am actually using this & it is helping! -- Well, Tom. 1:17:43 Now I want to talk about your review of the situation about investing in a house. It is incomlete, IMHO. I've heard Kiosaki & Ramit say what you are saying too. But, as a person, who rented all my life, I want to ask you: did you forget about rent payments!? To anyone who thinks of buying a house: YOUR MORTGAGE IS NOT YOUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, which makes your house a liability. YOUR MORTGAGE IS THE RENT THAT YOU PAY TO YOURSELF (c) (and oftentimes it is cheaper than rent). I actually would like to copyright the last statement! I do not think anyone has said it like this yet 😉 I've decided to write all this, because this message (see time-tag) makes people think that they are not loosing anything, if they are renting. You are, guys!
I never comment on UA-cam but here goes... I feel compelled to say - Tom & the Team, thank you so much for the hard work to create the Impact Theory University!! ❤ I've only spent a few days on it, but hand on heart I got some truly life changing realisations. The shocking fact is that I've heard a lot of the ideas elsewhere and dabbled with them, but you delivered and connected them in such a brilliant way that they finally clicked! And continue connecting the dots And also thanks for gaining the mastery in youtube algorithms! 😁 to cut through the noise and deliver the information that truly matters! 🙏 Hope it reaches more people! Whether to change their life or not, it's education that can help in any life situation.
Your show is fab, I thank you Mr. Bilyeu, you are mighty encouraging (and Tai L), new subscriber here, but been an onlooker for months. Thank you Mr. Bilyeu!! (BTW, I am the world’s procrastinator, work from 4:30-11, I read books such as Kevin Mitnick’s biography, I walk dogs on weekends when my chosen clientele’s noticed me. I have excuses because I am old, have chronic pains, fibromyalgia, TOS (all 3), several surgeries, it’s mighty challenging to instantaneously jumped out of bed. You are encouraging me to do much better. Much thanks.
This was inspiring to me especially having good bed routine. I will exercise and shower but not cold, along with starting to implement meditation in my morning routine. Have breakfast then see to my daily duties. 😊🙏🏾❤️
Quality sleep doesn't have a price ! The 7 days transformation should be a challenge ! I did something similar over christmas (93 hour of self improvement work in 7 days), it was a eyes opener!
Tom I want to thank you for this. I’ve been working hard to my filmmaking career finally take flight. After not finding the funds for my first feature film script, failing to create a successful crowd fund and getting 0 progress with an online course, I’ve finally created my first feature film following a different strategy. The results have been great, amazing engagement and organic internet shares. We’re still battling to break even and make profits. The section about failure helped us recover hope. Thanks again! Please don’t stop what you and Impact Theory team is doing. I’ll soon be a member of ITU. Fight on!!!!
Happy New Year🎄I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. started this journey with 10k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me😊
Same here all thanks to Miss Susan Marie Alessio, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
Susan Marie Alessio is considered a key Crypto Strategist with one of the best copy Trading Portfolios and also very active in the cryptocurrency space.
Wow I'm shocked you mentioned expert Mrs Susan Marie Alessio, when someone is straight forward and good at what she does best. People will always speak for them..
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,979 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@@Koryogden Thank you! Implementing the lessons I learned throughout the years of lots of trials and errors changed my life trajectory and learning that there’s a yin and yang in everything. I wouldn’t have appreciated the power of kindness if someone was not cruel to me. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of growth if I didn’t see myself stagnating. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of health if I didn’t get sick. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of real love if I haven’t witnessed my parents’ relationship slowly fall apart. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of mindful money consumption if I wasn’t broke. I wouldn’t have appreciated the growth of my UA-cam channel if I didn’t start at 0.
Thanks for sharing this extremely valuable information, Tom! I took the pieces that I could apply, will do a variation of them, and look forward to seeing my life change 🙌🏾 Some of this lifestyle is more challenging with kids, but doesn’t mean I can’t apply certain bits that will still enhance my life. Cheers!
These segments are really amazing as aways. The bit in depression and microbiome is so interesting..This is the problem with poverty...not only is there trauma - but then add to do crappy food and there we have a depressed group of people that have little to no motivation and have a hard time escaping poverty. I escaped poverty, but still struggle with my weight due to microbiome issues and it is a fight...
TOM YOURE A LEGEND YOUR CONTENT IS LIFECHANGING YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IMPROVEMENT IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE IS OUT OF THIS GALAXY! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WISDOM WITH US! IS REALLY APPRECIATED TO ME AS I TRY TO GET BETTER STEP BY STEP IN SMALL INCREMENTS IN MY LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤
You have a successful business. I am a concert technician and film worker. I get shifts between 2 to 16 hours starting at most hours of the day. I have had weird sleep schedules since high school. I make art and music etc almost everyday (16 hour day or not) trying to make it a second income. I wake up after sleeping 6 hours sometimes get more sleep and I am a regular meditation. I'm a night owl, going to bed at 9 is a hurtful thought to me. All this is to say I can't do what you do and vice versa.
Hey sir I am a 13 year old male and I am trying to better my life and I am trying to find my benefits and where I stand and what I am capable of, I thank you for helping me and every single day as you said you can want to do something but yet not achieve it. And I say this because I have made a lot of mistakes and I have been lacking the confidence and my skills to the point where it is very difficult to go back to what I do. And what I mean is some days I will want to do something and the next day I would not, and this just tells me that I do not have any goals and I am not where I need to be. And I tell myself like once a month I will change my self and I will be honest I never do it. And for example I would do something right for a week or two then I would lack whatever I tracked in the past couple days. And you have helped me come to realization even though I am a young male that I have to change my self. And I say this because I want to start off young and grow up to be the best I possibly can so then I will not grow up and turn out to be a bum or anything such. And sir I thank you for giving me the confidence to follow my heart and better my self.
If you appear to mature "too fast", you won't be able to really mature later on. It's much better to just have a childhood if at all possible and start taking things seriously on a heathy foundation MUCH later on. Consider that full cerebral function is only achieved at around 11-12 years of age. That means you have only had a year with full access to abstract thinking. For now, taking things easily and exploring is the way to go. Whatever it is, whatever happens, don't overload yourself! You can therefore grow.
Hello - you are still very young, please allow yourself some grace to work out this thing called life, without expecting perfection from yourself every moment, every week of your life. Brains continue to develop until the mid to late 20s. The area of the brain called the pre-frontal cortex is the last to develop. This is the area of the brain that involves logic, decision-making, organisation etc. This is why during adolescence teenagers can sometimes have strong feelings, as they are finding their confidence about themselves, finding their identity, discovering what it is they want to do. I am much older than you and one thing I have learnt is we continue to self-correct throughout our entire lives. The secret, as Tom tells us frequently, to keep on track is to set action steps that will lead you to your goals and at the same time if you do not take those steps one day, many days, is to be compassionate towards yourself, and gently bring yourself back to the path towards your goals. Nothing is solved by being too hard on yourself, but being hard on yourself can create negative feelings towards yourself. Learn to be your own best friend, and be kind to yourself. Being kind involves being okay when you decide you have mucked up. Don't think too much about mucking up, think about what step you want to take now and take it. Sometimes if we are feeling like we are constantly failing, we are trying too change too much at once. Just taking the next small step, and then the next small step after that, is the way forward. Set your routines around what works for you. For example, some people exercise as they get up, others exercise mid-morning, and yet others exercise in the afternoon or evening. I have a psychology degree, and I am picking up on some perfectionism in your message. I have been perfectionistic and it can create many barriers because someone who is perfectionistic is constantly seeing where they have not exactly got things to match their perfect plan, and then judge themselves negatively. I have learnt to be okay with not reaching my perfect plans, and be okay with the fact I have had a go, and gotten part way to my dream goal and have found this is way more satisfying than being constantly self-critical. You have good intentions for yourself - to be healthy and be successful. Know you will be okay in life, and you will have a good life. We learn to adapt and adjust.
I really appreciate your work. Even if it feels useless, your constant videos on the matter keeps even the most forgetful follow. thanks so much i wish i could retribute.
I hate how hard it would be to argue this 7 step life changer routine. I haven’t even started this challenge and can clearly see how dramatically it would change my existence. I was all in until you started talking about cold showers. It’s always gotta come to the Coldplay one way or another. I try to hit myself with full cold at the end of my hot showers and usually last about 27 seconds.
“Starve and freeze. You’ll be so fkn happy.” I love this channel. And I take what ya say seriously. It’s just a joke worth noting. It’s literally funny how much positivity can be generated from forcing controlled misery into your life.
Laziness is an important part of my Dao, Tom, I way prefer a Vita Contemplativa to your busibodiness: Sit during days In your chair Like a rock Lie in your bed During nights Like a stone All is well May all your dreams Be wonderful 🤗
What a great New Year's gift, Thank You, Tom❣ Heaps of Blessings, Prosperity, Good Health, True Happiness & Love to you and Lisa in 2024 and onwards ✌😃
I worked in retail all my life meaning flexible times and schedules! There is no way I be able to follow your sleep routine! My work day ends at 111 pm sometimes at 6 pm however I tried to wake up same time every day it won’t work because of my crazy hours! I’m successful in my career it’s because of my sleep / wake cycle being pretty flexible!⌛️
Thank you so much for this. I am so inspired and excited to follow your plan. But, QUESTION...If you want to include house work/chores/menial tasks in this daily routine, what is your suggestion, in terms of WHEN to do it, where on the priority list is it? I have an extreme block when it comes to this. I can't seem to be okay with doing anything until after I have made my bed, done the dishes, taken care of the cats, and done all of my daily chores before going to the gym. It is extremely hard to focus on anything until after I have done all of this, by then it's noon. I wake up at 8:00 a.m.. I can't get up any earlier, as I am a musician on a night time gig schedule, so sometimes even that is too early. My sleep time depends on what time I can actually get into bed, which is sometimes 3 am. HELP!
He clearly says your body needs a natural rhythm to get good sleep. Musician and good sleep unfortunately do not go together unless you are willing to make a sacrifice. Sounds like you've figure out how to get some stuff done in the morning, whats the issue? You have identified the block in your head and now work around it, good work. I am not able to do anything consistently.
Tom, you're very specific on routine, which gives us some valuable insight. However, it isn't the routine that is powerful, it's your discipline. I have no appetite, in this moment of my life, to go to bed at 9pm and wake at 4am. I would like to take a version of this without some of the specific time parameters.
@TomBilyeu you have some amazing guests on your podcasts and I now follow others because of ideas and thoughts I have learned while watching your podcast. But this is the best show I have seen to date. Not just on your channel but every UA-cam channel I watch. Thank you so much for your time and effort I look forward to following the steps in this show because I believe by this time next year I will have the life I dreamed of just a few years ago, you truly make the world a better place, not just for your subscribers but for the lives of the people that they touch.
I admire you so much Tom you are the only podcaster straight to the point never miss a motion.Why isn’t there a woman podcasters out there I like to do what you do one day.
Great video, watched to the very end. Really need your help Tom, I’m 52 and disabled since 2009 with $600K net worth. Already have shares in Real estate (properties for rent) Stocks (dividends) Bonds (interest) etc But I'd still love to spread my investments across the fin- markets ahead of retirement. Can you help me?
Just buy BITCOIN and hold. Or find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. But advisably, just seek counsel from a market strategist.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
I love Tom and love his work. I agree with him 99.9% except the fact that he said the house pruchase is a liability in current time!, Unless you buy a property middle of nowhere this is the best time to buy property especially in the North America. Due to wars around the world a lot of migration and huge demand in housing market!, so it is the best investment you can do right now if you can !
I get hungry so often so quickly. My best sleeps are when I go to bed with an absolutely full belly. Breathing through my nose dries out my nose. If your mouth and throat get dry while sleeping, you used too much tooth paste when brushing your teeth before bed.
If you're groggy after a nap you're napping for too long. The Spanish figured this out a long time ago. A 20=30 minute nap is enough to refresh you without entering deep sleep and waking up groggy.
Problem is if you do not have a fixed schedule for work or when you have to travel a lot. My goal is 3 times per week workout - PM time. , miminum 6-7 hours sleep. Eat a good breakfast in the morning. Stay hungry and reward yourself in the evening I.e. anime, video game etc... rinse and repeat. Weekend more time for recovery and more time for work on other projects that could not make it during the week.
Tom I have been watching your videos about 3-5 day water fasts. I'm going to do it. I have prostate cancer and need to fully cleanse my body. I am a holistic chef and have helped heal people through raw foods and KETO way of living. My question is (and please don't think I'm being funny) can I smoke a hit or two of marijuana during this fast? Also can I go to the gym and work out (of course not heavy at all but doing some movement and strengthening).
Quite difficult to implement the morning routine if you start work at 8 am and you also have to walk your dog and commute to work....can be done in the weekend though
Love your podcast/interviews. Introduced my daughters to this mindset (in their late 20's). For Xmas I bought them "Mindset, The Prince, The Thomas Sowell Readers, some Manly P. Hall, and some Jerk seasoning sauce...lol (hey, that what I like)... :) Not into this type of "do this" content though, this should be another channel. :). But, all good. I'm in Canada and into horses. Try getting someone from the thoroughbred industry for an interview. You would be extremely surprised. I can give you a few intros. Jockeys can make $10-20M/yr for 6-/+months. Looking forward to your next interview. BTW - I still think this "....." should be another channel. :) Stay healthy, stay safe and...Blessings from Canada! :)
I stumbled on to your channel. I really do like the content I've ingested so far. You will laugh when I tell you that, while I like your spectacles, I'm distracted by the glare from your lenses. I'm an LDO, I just can't help but notice. Is there a reason why you have neglected getting "no-glare lenses?" lol
Showering in cold water until shivering!? Im very skeptical on this advice. Wim Hof/Cold Plunge advice seems to say if you start shivering youve stayed in longer than you can consciously control the warm up so unconscious mechanism of shivering takes over
No, your body will react immediately to cold, with a shock and immediate shivering. ...no such thing as 'wait until I shiver'. I think you've misunderstood what Tom has said - and for that matter - what Wim Hoff has said about cold showers. ...your body will automatically start the warm-up - in earnest - once you exit the cold exposure.
WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

This is not a financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

Dear Tom,

I have subscribed to other amazing channels with very good content but nothing is better than the content you create, how you develop your conversations or presentations and your fluency and proficiency. Man, you have a way with words! I look up to you in so many ways, especially because I would love to become at least 20% of what you are in terms of oratory and the beautiful use of the English language.

Why can I take off financially? I am stuck in debt from my previous business ventures and nothing seems to work out. I have read many books on finance. I watch podcasts and UA-cam videos. I have attended seminars. What is missing?
My native language is Spanish. You can also judge by this writing that I am fluent in English. In fact, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English as a Second Language and teach English at a Community College. One of the reasons to become a teacher was precisely to overcome my lack of confidence with English. I speak a little bit of French (I was fluent in French but have lost some of it due to the lack of practice because I do not need to use it here in the USA).
I would really love to hear from you, Tom. What are your thoughts on this? I could continue telling you the so many things I have done and my achievements, starting from the fact that I am Cuban and had to flee from communism in 2018 when I was 42 with my wife and my 9-year-old daughter.
Please tell me something.
Thank you for this content Tom. I learnt from it and got somethings I’ll love to work on in 2024. Besides who trade the financial market?
Tom always delivers great content. I trade the financial market, which aspect of the financial market are you referring to?
I was referring to the stock market but I’m willing to try out other financial market. I made gains from Nvidia and Microstrategy last year. Got my eyes on Bitcoin and Solana. How do you trade?
Nvidia was superb last year. Good picks. I trade based on the season of the market. It gives me a direction on implementing the right strategies for long or short term. I also trade based on the volatility of the market. Although it wasn’t easy till I came across a mentor who helped to keep me in the market loop. My mentor is Bernard Paul.
@@RichardWest- This would be a deciding factor when implementing the right strategies. Do you have factors you consider when you want to purchase a stock or crypto?
@@RichardWest- Paul is also my mentor. Paul’s willingness to share both successes and challenges has given me a realistic perspective on trading, helping me set realistic expectations and goals as a beginner
Vanity is functional in so many ways, but one should stay humbled or be humbled. Life will guarantee this.
Brilliant, thank you! I am actually using this & it is helping!

Well, Tom.

Now I want to talk about your review of the situation about investing in a house. It is incomlete, IMHO. I've heard Kiosaki & Ramit say what you are saying too. But, as a person, who rented all my life, I want to ask you: did you forget about rent payments!?
To anyone who thinks of buying a house: YOUR MORTGAGE IS NOT YOUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, which makes your house a liability. YOUR MORTGAGE IS THE RENT THAT YOU PAY TO YOURSELF (c) (and oftentimes it is cheaper than rent).
I actually would like to copyright the last statement! I do not think anyone has said it like this yet 😉
I've decided to write all this, because this message (see time-tag) makes people think that they are not loosing anything, if they are renting. You are, guys!
I never comment on UA-cam but here goes... I feel compelled to say - Tom & the Team, thank you so much for the hard work to create the Impact Theory University!! ❤
I've only spent a few days on it, but hand on heart I got some truly life changing realisations.
The shocking fact is that I've heard a lot of the ideas elsewhere and dabbled with them, but you delivered and connected them in such a brilliant way that they finally clicked! And continue connecting the dots
And also thanks for gaining the mastery in youtube algorithms! 😁 to cut through the noise and deliver the information that truly matters! 🙏
Hope it reaches more people! Whether to change their life or not, it's education that can help in any life situation.
I gotta say you seem like a genuinely good person
This doesn't cahnge the fact that blacks ruin the world. And wokes
Your show is fab, I thank you Mr. Bilyeu, you are mighty encouraging (and Tai L), new subscriber here, but been an onlooker for months.
Thank you Mr. Bilyeu!!
(BTW, I am the world’s procrastinator, work from 4:30-11, I read books such as Kevin Mitnick’s biography, I walk dogs on weekends when my chosen clientele’s noticed me.
I have excuses because I am old, have chronic pains, fibromyalgia, TOS (all 3), several surgeries, it’s mighty challenging to instantaneously jumped out of bed.
You are encouraging me to do much better.
Much thanks.
@TomBilyeu This is so power and valuable. Thank you for giving us your time to do this talk.

Aristotle said this 2500 years ago. Good thought though.
You can always count on ENTPs to not give due credit.
@@arghyachakrabortyAristotle recorded it, it was said before
This was inspiring to me especially having good bed routine. I will exercise and shower but not cold, along with starting to implement meditation in my morning routine. Have breakfast then see to my daily duties. 😊🙏🏾❤️
You can tell all Tom wants is to help people! ❤️
Yes, and I am so grateful.
you kill it time after time. THANK YOU, TOM!
Quality sleep doesn't have a price !
The 7 days transformation should be a challenge ! I did something similar over christmas (93 hour of self improvement work in 7 days), it was a eyes opener!
How did you do it ? Congratulations it takes lots of discipline
Tom I want to thank you for this. I’ve been working hard to my filmmaking career finally take flight. After not finding the funds for my first feature film script, failing to create a successful crowd fund and getting 0 progress with an online course, I’ve finally created my first feature film following a different strategy. The results have been great, amazing engagement and organic internet shares. We’re still battling to break even and make profits. The section about failure helped us recover hope. Thanks again! Please don’t stop what you and Impact Theory team is doing. I’ll soon be a member of ITU. Fight on!!!!
Happy New Year🎄I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. started this journey with 10k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me😊
Same here all thanks to Miss Susan Marie Alessio, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
How please I'm pretty new and feel I have much to learn, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it.?
Susan Marie Alessio is considered a key Crypto Strategist with one of the best copy Trading Portfolios and also very active in the cryptocurrency space.
Wow I'm shocked you mentioned expert Mrs Susan Marie Alessio, when someone is straight forward and good at what she does best. People will always speak for them..
I have heard about her excellent trading expertise in CNBC news, guess she's more popular in United States.
As always, I appreciate your truthful outlook to life, Tom. Thank you to you and your team.💜💜💜
I love how Tom thinks deeply and then how he’s able to formulate and explicate his thought processes.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,979 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Grats bro, that's inspiring to hear
@@Koryogden Thank you!
Implementing the lessons I learned throughout the years of lots of trials and errors changed my life trajectory and learning that there’s a yin and yang in everything. I wouldn’t have appreciated the power of kindness if someone was not cruel to me. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of growth if I didn’t see myself stagnating. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of health if I didn’t get sick. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of real love if I haven’t witnessed my parents’ relationship slowly fall apart. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of mindful money consumption if I wasn’t broke. I wouldn’t have appreciated the growth of my UA-cam channel if I didn’t start at 0.
Thanks for sharing this extremely valuable information, Tom! I took the pieces that I could apply, will do a variation of them, and look forward to seeing my life change 🙌🏾 Some of this lifestyle is more challenging with kids, but doesn’t mean I can’t apply certain bits that will still enhance my life. Cheers!
These segments are really amazing as aways. The bit in depression and microbiome is so interesting..This is the problem with poverty...not only is there trauma - but then add to do crappy food and there we have a depressed group of people that have little to no motivation and have a hard time escaping poverty. I escaped poverty, but still struggle with my weight due to microbiome issues and it is a fight...
Some of us are nightowls and are productive when ppl go to sleep, then get up late and stay up late💰🦉💰💯
This is GOLD!!! Thank you Tom for giving your life to help others win.
And that, my friends, is why Tom Bilyeu is one of my favourite humans ever
TOM YOURE A LEGEND YOUR CONTENT IS LIFECHANGING YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IMPROVEMENT IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE IS OUT OF THIS GALAXY! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WISDOM WITH US! IS REALLY APPRECIATED TO ME AS I TRY TO GET BETTER STEP BY STEP IN SMALL INCREMENTS IN MY LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best Videos for u are those who discuss the matter about reinventing one's self
I am as grateful for the abundance of wisdom and knowledge you share with us as the people you interview! ❤️🙏
You have a successful business. I am a concert technician and film worker. I get shifts between 2 to 16 hours starting at most hours of the day. I have had weird sleep schedules since high school. I make art and music etc almost everyday (16 hour day or not) trying to make it a second income. I wake up after sleeping 6 hours sometimes get more sleep and I am a regular meditation. I'm a night owl, going to bed at 9 is a hurtful thought to me. All this is to say I can't do what you do and vice versa.
Hi Tom. Greetings from Finland, Europe. Keep up the good work!
Hey sir I am a 13 year old male and I am trying to better my life and I am trying to find my benefits and where I stand and what I am capable of, I thank you for helping me and every single day as you said you can want to do something but yet not achieve it. And I say this because I have made a lot of mistakes and I have been lacking the confidence and my skills to the point where it is very difficult to go back to what I do. And what I mean is some days I will want to do something and the next day I would not, and this just tells me that I do not have any goals and I am not where I need to be. And I tell myself like once a month I will change my self and I will be honest I never do it. And for example I would do something right for a week or two then I would lack whatever I tracked in the past couple days. And you have helped me come to realization even though I am a young male that I have to change my self. And I say this because I want to start off young and grow up to be the best I possibly can so then I will not grow up and turn out to be a bum or anything such. And sir I thank you for giving me the confidence to follow my heart and better my self.
If you appear to mature "too fast", you won't be able to really mature later on. It's much better to just have a childhood if at all possible and start taking things seriously on a heathy foundation MUCH later on.
Consider that full cerebral function is only achieved at around 11-12 years of age. That means you have only had a year with full access to abstract thinking.
For now, taking things easily and exploring is the way to go. Whatever it is, whatever happens, don't overload yourself! You can therefore grow.
Hello - you are still very young, please allow yourself some grace to work out this thing called life, without expecting perfection from yourself every moment, every week of your life. Brains continue to develop until the mid to late 20s. The area of the brain called the pre-frontal cortex is the last to develop. This is the area of the brain that involves logic, decision-making, organisation etc. This is why during adolescence teenagers can sometimes have strong feelings, as they are finding their confidence about themselves, finding their identity, discovering what it is they want to do. I am much older than you and one thing I have learnt is we continue to self-correct throughout our entire lives. The secret, as Tom tells us frequently, to keep on track is to set action steps that will lead you to your goals and at the same time if you do not take those steps one day, many days, is to be compassionate towards yourself, and gently bring yourself back to the path towards your goals. Nothing is solved by being too hard on yourself, but being hard on yourself can create negative feelings towards yourself. Learn to be your own best friend, and be kind to yourself. Being kind involves being okay when you decide you have mucked up. Don't think too much about mucking up, think about what step you want to take now and take it. Sometimes if we are feeling like we are constantly failing, we are trying too change too much at once. Just taking the next small step, and then the next small step after that, is the way forward. Set your routines around what works for you. For example, some people exercise as they get up, others exercise mid-morning, and yet others exercise in the afternoon or evening. I have a psychology degree, and I am picking up on some perfectionism in your message. I have been perfectionistic and it can create many barriers because someone who is perfectionistic is constantly seeing where they have not exactly got things to match their perfect plan, and then judge themselves negatively. I have learnt to be okay with not reaching my perfect plans, and be okay with the fact I have had a go, and gotten part way to my dream goal and have found this is way more satisfying than being constantly self-critical. You have good intentions for yourself - to be healthy and be successful. Know you will be okay in life, and you will have a good life. We learn to adapt and adjust.
Tom i follow you for maybe 10 years, it starts well and im on it ;) you really gathered all the essentials, bravo my man!
Tom is the most inspirational nerd I have ever come across
I took copious notes on this video and I am incredibly grateful for this! Thank you Tom
I really appreciate your work.
Even if it feels useless, your constant videos on the matter keeps even the most forgetful follow. thanks so much i wish i could retribute.
Love Tom’s obsessive nature as well as his motivational posts or speeches.
I hate how hard it would be to argue this 7 step life changer routine. I haven’t even started this challenge and can clearly see how dramatically it would change my existence. I was all in until you started talking about cold showers. It’s always gotta come to the Coldplay one way or another. I try to hit myself with full cold at the end of my hot showers and usually last about 27 seconds.
“Starve and freeze. You’ll be so fkn happy.”
I love this channel. And I take what ya say seriously. It’s just a joke worth noting. It’s literally funny how much positivity can be generated from forcing controlled misery into your life.
Yep! Start hot and end cold so I actually wash with soap. Not a quick dunk and rinse.
Laziness is an important part of my Dao, Tom, I way prefer a Vita Contemplativa to your busibodiness:
Sit during days
In your chair
Like a rock
Lie in your bed
During nights
Like a stone
All is well
May all your dreams
Be wonderful 🤗
What a great New Year's gift, Thank You, Tom❣
Heaps of Blessings, Prosperity, Good Health, True Happiness & Love to you and Lisa in 2024 and onwards ✌😃
I worked in retail all my life meaning flexible times and schedules! There is no way I be able to follow your sleep routine! My work day ends at 111 pm sometimes at 6 pm however I tried to wake up same time every day it won’t work because of my crazy hours! I’m successful in my career it’s because of my sleep / wake cycle being pretty flexible!⌛️
Thank you for all the great advice and tips.... Added to my favorite videos.💪
Thank you for sharing Tom! I am always learning from you and your wife Lisa. More power to you both. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this. I am so inspired and excited to follow your plan. But, QUESTION...If you want to include house work/chores/menial tasks in this daily routine, what is your suggestion, in terms of WHEN to do it, where on the priority list is it? I have an extreme block when it comes to this. I can't seem to be okay with doing anything until after I have made my bed, done the dishes, taken care of the cats, and done all of my daily chores before going to the gym. It is extremely hard to focus on anything until after I have done all of this, by then it's noon. I wake up at 8:00 a.m.. I can't get up any earlier, as I am a musician on a night time gig schedule, so sometimes even that is too early. My sleep time depends on what time I can actually get into bed, which is sometimes 3 am. HELP!
He clearly says your body needs a natural rhythm to get good sleep. Musician and good sleep unfortunately do not go together unless you are willing to make a sacrifice. Sounds like you've figure out how to get some stuff done in the morning, whats the issue? You have identified the block in your head and now work around it, good work. I am not able to do anything consistently.
1:24:55 - re watch this as many times as you need to. This message is vital
Tom, you're very specific on routine, which gives us some valuable insight. However, it isn't the routine that is powerful, it's your discipline.
I have no appetite, in this moment of my life, to go to bed at 9pm and wake at 4am. I would like to take a version of this without some of the specific time parameters.
@TomBilyeu you have some amazing guests on your podcasts and I now follow others because of ideas and thoughts I have learned while watching your podcast. But this is the best show I have seen to date. Not just on your channel but every UA-cam channel I watch. Thank you so much for your time and effort I look forward to following the steps in this show because I believe by this time next year I will have the life I dreamed of just a few years ago, you truly make the world a better place, not just for your subscribers but for the lives of the people that they touch.
Thank you, Tom! ❤So incredibly helpful!
THANK YOU!
I really needed to hear this
I admire you so much Tom you are the only podcaster straight to the point never miss a motion.Why isn’t there a woman podcasters out there I like to do what you do one day.
I really appreciate this video. I'm going to listen to this again I'm sure
good content this page is FIRE FIRE! love from Toronto
Tom, you can put a timer on your audio book so it doesn’t run through too far & you can get right back to it when you wake up 😊
Happy Birthday, Tom!
Thank you Tom you are appreciated ❤
Great video, watched to the very end. Really need your help Tom, I’m 52 and disabled since 2009 with $600K net worth. Already have shares in Real estate (properties for rent) Stocks (dividends) Bonds (interest) etc But I'd still love to spread my investments across the fin- markets ahead of retirement. Can you help me?
Just buy BITCOIN and hold. Or find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. But advisably, just seek counsel from a market strategist.
Mind leaving info of your advisor here please?
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
Another bullsh*t scamming BOT trying to get phony financial advice snuck in here in a podcast that has NOTHIN to do with finances😅
Thank you for your generosity, Tom!
promising myself 2024 is my year
I swear it's almost as if you were speaking to me directly! Thank you so much! \I can't express the love and admiration I have for you!
Nice Tom !!! 🤗 Some great practical advice. I needed this I'm stuck in a rut 😢
Appreciate all you do 🦃
I really need to take notes on this video!
I love Tom and love his work. I agree with him 99.9% except the fact that he said the house pruchase is a liability in current time!, Unless you buy a property middle of nowhere this is the best time to buy property especially in the North America. Due to wars around the world a lot of migration and huge demand in housing market!, so it is the best investment you can do right now if you can !
thank you for your generosity sir.
I get hungry so often so quickly. My best sleeps are when I go to bed with an absolutely full belly.
Breathing through my nose dries out my nose. If your mouth and throat get dry while sleeping, you used too much tooth paste when brushing your teeth before bed.
If you're groggy after a nap you're napping for too long. The Spanish figured this out a long time ago. A 20=30 minute nap is enough to refresh you without entering deep sleep and waking up groggy.
Thank you for sharing all this amazing knowledge it’s a pleasure to watch your content 😌
6:13 That’s me.. yup.. carbs help me sleep better
I was 1000% with you up until cold shower! 😂🥶
Me too! Major turn-off.
I really do not believe that everyone needs a cold shower in order to be successful at self-discipline. 😊
I love your videos! You are so inspiring, and I appreciate what you do!!❤❤❤
another heavy hitter'
thanks again Tom for those beautifull
life lessons
Problem is if you do not have a fixed schedule for work or when you have to travel a lot. My goal is 3 times per week workout - PM time. , miminum 6-7 hours sleep. Eat a good breakfast in the morning. Stay hungry and reward yourself in the evening I.e. anime, video game etc... rinse and repeat. Weekend more time for recovery and more time for work on other projects that could not make it during the week.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing all this with us.
Love this Tom!! The GOAT!! 🐐
Tom I have been watching your videos about 3-5 day water fasts. I'm going to do it. I have prostate cancer and need to fully cleanse my body. I am a holistic chef and have helped heal people through raw foods and KETO way of living. My question is (and please don't think I'm being funny) can I smoke a hit or two of marijuana during this fast? Also can I go to the gym and work out (of course not heavy at all but doing some movement and strengthening).
1:01:20 unless you are a physicist and that is YOUR JOB
The best video you’ve made yet, and that’s saying something!
I love who Tom is, I love Impact theory.... I cant go along with "Occupy Mars", Fuck Mars.
Very grateful 🙏 ❤
Thank you tom
Quite difficult to implement the morning routine if you start work at 8 am and you also have to walk your dog and commute to work....can be done in the weekend though
One helluva video, nuff love from Jamaica 👊🏾
My boy taking 2024 by storm! 💯💯💯
Thank you
Thank you Tom. Amazing content ! I really needed this today. You are my North Star during the tumultuous times I am in. 🙏
totally agree with Tom, thanks for sharing the good stuffs!
Thank you and Lisa for your wonderful videos.
Thank you sooooo much this is an amazing video!!
Thank you ❤
Love your podcast/interviews. Introduced my daughters to this mindset (in their late 20's).
For Xmas I bought them "Mindset, The Prince, The Thomas Sowell Readers, some Manly P. Hall, and some Jerk seasoning sauce...lol (hey, that what I like)... :)
Not into this type of "do this" content though, this should be another channel. :). But, all good.
I'm in Canada and into horses. Try getting someone from the thoroughbred industry for an interview. You would be extremely surprised.
I can give you a few intros. Jockeys can make $10-20M/yr for 6-/+months.
Looking forward to your next interview.
BTW - I still think this "....." should be another channel. :)
Stay healthy, stay safe and...Blessings from Canada! :)
I stumbled on to your channel. I really do like the content I've ingested so far. You will laugh when I tell you that, while I like your spectacles, I'm distracted by the glare from your lenses. I'm an LDO, I just can't help but notice. Is there a reason why you have neglected getting "no-glare lenses?" lol
Showering in cold water until shivering!? Im very skeptical on this advice. Wim Hof/Cold Plunge advice seems to say if you start shivering youve stayed in longer than you can consciously control the warm up so unconscious mechanism of shivering takes over
No, your body will react immediately to cold, with a shock and immediate shivering.
...no such thing as 'wait until I shiver'.
I think you've misunderstood what Tom has said - and for that matter - what Wim Hoff has said about cold showers.
...your body will automatically start the warm-up - in earnest - once you exit the cold exposure.
