Ummmmmm ... my first reaction to this was NOOOOOOOOOOO. I've thought Tai was a scam artist for a while, and to be fair, his marketing does come across as extra spammy.
BUT ... I REALLY liked this episode. He even explained why he markets that way. And as Tom has said before, you have to be able to separate the message from the messenger. Even if you have preconceived notions about Tai, you should listen to this episode. There is some great knowledge in there.
I haven’t done this since the Inside Quest days, but I took copious notes on this one.
Some takeaways:
1. Start small. Get small wins. It will scientifically build up your brain. You'll grow the amount of dopamine receptors in your brain. If you keep failing, you lose dopamine receptors & you become less ambitious. If you succeed, you actually grow more. Just get a bunch of base hits. You can have a massive vision, but your daily goals should be small. Build. Macro patience, micro speed – shout out to Gary Vee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFzPuEEvnDU&vl=en
2. Multi Objective Optimization – it’s all BS. You can only optimize for one thing at a time. Don't try to start 13 businesses. Focus on one. Side note: Tai optimizes his life for adventure. Seems like a pretty good thing to optimize for considering we're all gonna die someday.
3. Nobody knows what they're doing, even the people who are rich and famous and seem to have it all figured out – they fucking don’t. Everybody is just trying their best. (This was an “aha” moment I had a few weeks ago actually – so this was one of my favorite takeaways). The ultimate adventure is trying to get insight and see life as a puzzle. Your goal is to seek the adventures that piece the puzzle together. So at the end you kind of get it.
4. Health, Wealth, Love, Happiness. There has to be a minimum amount of money in place to survive, that's why "wealth" is above "love". The absence of money brings unhappiness. Once you have the first 3 in place, you just get happiness. Happiness is like soup, it's a compilation of a whole bunch of stuff.
5. Conscientiousness is the trait most responsible for business success.
Formula for conscientiousness:
a. Organization - be a little bit organized. take 10 min and write out your goals for every day
b. Perfectionism - know how to double check your work.
c. Diligence (Hard Work) - hustle & perseverance. Put in consistent effort over time. Reps & sets.
d. Prudence - this is the kicker. It's the ability to make the right decision. Most entrepreneurs walk around the world to get to a point one mile in front of them because our compass is backwards. How do you adjust your compass? MENTORS! lol. You have to read, watch, & learn from people around you who have done what you want to do. Most people just take off in one direction without stopping to think about which way they're going. You have to admit you’re lost. Sit the fuck down and learn from other people. BOOKS! KNOWLEDGE! (LOL btw, this is an awesome video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jOKfU9uL5s )
6. Don’t discriminate who you learn from. Take the things you want and leave what you don’t like. You can learn from everybody, even if it’s what not to do.
7. After the age of 25, the way people learn is through massive trauma. So you have to let in some trauma in your life, but you don’t have to learn everything through your own trial & error. Use other people’s trial & error whenever you can. Unless you’re the first guy to ever use Google Adwords, then you just have to blow a bunch of money to learn lol. But hold on, the errors break most people. So you have to have a GROWTH MINDSET in order to grow from it and not let it break you. And we come full circle to the mission of Impact Theory. BOOM!
8. Tai won’t say who Kobe was trashing, but it was Ryan Kelly. LMAO
9. Be around people who make you uncomfortable at the ego level. Override your mind’s tendency to tell you you’re amazing. Humans learn through osmosis. Be around people who override their mind’s narcissistic tendencies and aren’t the bitch of their own brains – pretty much Tom Bilyeu. Keep watching Impact Theory fuckers. Reps & sets.
10. It’s almost impossible to lecture people into success, but you can inspire people into it. Lambos & Ferraris make 19 year olds read books. BUT …
11. Don’t try to become a millionaire in your 20s. Work on the circuitry part of your brain. Go on adventures. Reprogram your brain. Download other people’s years of experience into your brain. But get out of your house. Go to conferences & events. But don’t do 20 in 20 days. You’ll lose your voice.
12.. Sweep your own front porch (figure out the puzzle of life for yourself) & maybe you can inspire others to do the same. Go through the adventure of life with that mad scientist twinge in your eye.
13. Put $10 into Bitcoin.

Tom, you are amazing, an inspiration! You're one of the people that inspired me to break my limits, to go beyond! Committing to oneself is a lot harder than it sounds. However, we are all capable of doing it. And once you are able to do that, you begin to live a more fulfilling life. So, the times you feel like you can't do it anymore, the times you feel like there's nothing more to give, just remember that this person right here believes in you. You can do it! And you have so much more to give! I, Tanvir Ahmed, believe in you!
