Whoosh, and we're back from LA.
Thanks to my wonderful team (shoutout to JG and Wil), I been able to rush the lessons and insights from my meeting with Tom Bilyeu out the door to you, dear reader, in record time.
So, have you ever wondered what it takes to be a billionaire?
I recently had the pleasure to interview Tom Bilyeu, founder and CEO of Quest Nutrition and host of the Impact Theory Podcast, on my podcast. Tom is a self-made really rich guy (both in spirit and bank account) who has made his money by building things that have changed people’s lives.
In the interview, Tom shared his story and the lessons he has learned on his journey to becoming, well, again, really rich.
Here are some of the key insights he shared:
1. Make a big impact. Tom’s mindset is to go big or go home. He believes that if you want to be successful, you need to think big and have an audacious goal. He's proving this by developing virtual worlds for his video game, Project Kaizen, which costs millions of dollars to create.
2. Use stories. Storytelling makes a lasting impact. When you can, always weave your message into a story.
3. Play your own game. Tom wanted to get into film from a young age. But instead of relying on someone else's opinion in Hollywood he spent 15 years building Quest, gathered the resources, and built his own stage.
4. Surround yourself with smart people. This was clear the moment I walked in the door; the first floor of his home is an office. Tom believes that creating a team of smart people around you is essential to success.
5. Believe in yourself and push hard. Finally, Tom believes that believing in yourself and never giving up are essential traits for success. In fact, his own father-in-law turned him down when he initially asked Lisa (his now wife) to marry him!

This week, I'm taking meetings in Miami, Fl.
