Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Lisa Bilyeu: Radical Confidence, My Journey From Housewife to Billion-Dollar Boss | E55

Yeah. So here's the thing about this. There's going to be two things. There's going to be one thing where people are going to throw hate and it's really not going to bother you. Probably the reason why it won't bother you is because you don't feel it. It's not true to you. So if someone says, oh my God, Lisa, I hate that you're five foot one. It's all right. I hate that I'm 5'1".

I can't do anything about that. I just brush it off. But if someone says, you're so ugly, that hurts and stings in a very different way. Why? Because I've never beaten myself up or felt badly about being short. I very much beaten myself up and felt badly about myself, about my looks. So

When someone comes at you, when it's something that doesn't trigger you, you're going to let it roll off your back. You're not going to think about it. The ones that really do hurt are the ones that actually hit home. And now you have to ask yourself, what are you going to do about it? So there's a couple of things that I did.

So to get started, because that's always the hard thing, how do I actually get started? So Imagine I get bullied for my looks. I get teased. I get called big nose, all of the things. I used to have a unibrow. I never had a boyfriend. If you were the Disney character, right, and you're going to write the most ugly young girl, that was how I felt. So you take that.

Thank you. That's very kind. But look, everyone has a belief system, right? And when you're told over and over and over and over the same thing and it becomes a wound, you really do believe it. So here I am as an adult, not feeling good, not feeling like I'm pretty or anything like that. And so I really wanted to start a podcast because I really wanted to help women.

So I go to start the podcast and I say to my husband, I'm just going to do it on Zoom. I'm going to do it with my friends and I'm just going to do it on Zoom and it's just going to be audio only. Now, my husband, being the person that says we promised we would be with each other, is he called me on my own BS, basically. And he said, hang on a minute. We have a set. We have six cameras.

And we have an entire team that can film this for you. Why on earth would you not get in front of the camera? Now, in that moment, I realized the truth was it was a conflict between my mission and my ego. And I had to be honest about it because my mission is to help women. Do I think that if I could go video and audio, that I'm going to reach more women than just audio? The answer is yes.

Okay, if I know that is true, why do I not want to get on camera? It's my ego. I don't want to be bullied. I don't want to be made fun of. I don't know if I can cope. I don't know if I can handle it, right? All the things that are going through my head. As soon as I just put them out, the reality of what is more important, Lisa, your mission or your ego, then there was nowhere to hide.

Now, I like to do that. I like to not hide anywhere because that's where the reality always comes through. So once I realized that I had to make a decision, I let go of any judgment. That's the second piece. is that if I chose ego, no one's got a right to say that's right or wrong. I have to do what is right for me.

I have to do what makes me feel good when I go to bed at night because no one's around except for me and my thoughts. So if I can't be proud of myself, it doesn't matter what other people think. So just remember, guys, when you're asking yourself these questions, what's more important, it doesn't matter what other people think.

What actually matters is what you think because it's not like it's wrong. for me to choose my ego. It's not wrong. Wrong according to who? So once I was allowed to remove the judgment of it as well, and I was like, oh, which one is actually the thing that you're going to be proud of when you go to bed at night? And I knew. It had to be getting in front of the camera.
