How do we push through our emotions to achieve our goals?
I think people should don't let anybody tell you something is impossible unless it legitimately violates the laws of physics.
You've built billion dollar companies across different industries. And right now, money is really not a concern for you.
Money only monetizes once. You can only spend it one time. But knowledge and connections monetize forever. As long as you're then you can have everything you want.

Chapter 2: How did Tom Bilyeu overcome his early struggles?
And I mean, look, when you see political campaigns and stuff like that, that's exactly what they're doing. They're telling a story. Stories simplify things and they focus attention. And that is the magic of storytelling. This is exactly how humans are able to come together in these gigantic, flexible groups with people they've never even met and cooperate. You have shared stories.
Now, my hope, of course, is that you stay here because you realize I care about your future more than your own mother, but you'll be empowered. You can go anywhere that you want. And I poured my heart and soul into it. I came early. I stayed late. And we've had people start other companies that are still running to this day, almost a decade later. Absolutely incredible. I love it the most.
It could be shared story of a nation state, could be shared story of a religion. but you need some sort of shared story to pass on values, to pass on identity, to give people a unifying narrative. So for better or worse, humans are a meaning-making machine and stories allow you to transmit meaning. So they're just a mechanism by which you simplify things enough to extract meaning from.
The only catch is it was only 2% of the people that I brought those ideas to. 98% did nothing. And so I really started to get obsessed with, okay, what would we have to do to reach the 98%? And I very quickly realized you have to bypass the logical centers of their brain. You can't just say, think like this, act like this. You've got to really get into the storytelling of it all.
So we do it all the time. When we stub our toe on the coffee table, we tell a story. We're an idiot because we don't pay attention enough to our surroundings. And that's what stubbing our toe means. Or you could tell yourself the story of, man, I'm so hardcore. I probably broke my toe just now, but I don't stop. I don't quit. I'm the kind of guy that keeps pushing forward.
And I mean, look, when you see political campaigns and stuff like that, that's exactly what they're doing. They're telling a story. Stories simplify things and they focus attention. And that is the magic of storytelling. This is exactly how humans are able to come together in these gigantic, flexible groups with people they've never even met and cooperate. You have shared stories.
So it all comes down to what's the story that you tell yourself about that thing. So it isn't what happens. It's what it means. And once people understand what it means, you're telling yourself that story. Someone may have said it from the outside, but you decided that that's what you were going to repeat. That's what you were going to adopt.
It could be shared story of a nation state, could be shared story of a religion, but you need some sort of shared story to pass on values, to pass on identity. to give people a unifying narrative. So for better or worse, humans are a meaning-making machine and stories allow you to transmit meaning. So they're just a mechanism by which you simplify things enough to extract meaning from.
So whether you're a marketer, whether you're just trying to lead your own team, you've got to tell them a story. This is why every company needs a mission. Your mission statement is about galvanizing your team. It's about telling the consumer what it means to buy your product, what they're sort of becoming a part of.
