We didn’t set out to create so many quotes articles on this iCreateDaily website, but here’s what happens. I start my morning routine, which includes listening to podcasts, audiobooks and YouTube videos. The theme is a lot of what we’re all about here: creativity, mindset, positivity, personal and business growth.

Converting this knowledge into action becomes our wisdom. It’s almost like having direct access to some of the best minds and mentors on the planet as excellent and free education and coaching.

Who is Tom Bilyeu?

Relentless Agent for Change

We absolutely adore the phenomenally successful legendary entrepreneur, Tom Bilyeu and his wife Lisa, who has her own show, Women of Impact.

Tom is the cofounder of Quest Nutrition and now, Impact Theory and the Impact brand. In his 20’s, Tom was ambitious but had no drive. He went from being extremely lazy to completely driven and obsessed with learning, growth and success.

“I’m a relentless agent for change, here to see how far I can push my own potential and the potential of others.”
~Tom Bilyeu, cofounder Quest Nutrition & Impact Theory, b.3/30/1976

As a result, Tom Bilyeu is a mega success story, achieving mega success through grit and determination. So what changed for Tom? The discovery that you can change your life by changing your mind.

If Tom Bilyeu is new to you, there are a few videos near the end of this growing list of Tom Bilyeu quotes that will give you more of a feel for this amazingly inspiring, quirky, intelligent, intense and determined man.

We also love Tom and Tom Bilyeu quotes because we share his aspiration to help as many people as possible discover and ignite more of their own incredible untapped potential.

Hoping Tom will write a book titled Relentless. Because he is, and that’s what it takes to achieve your dreams.

Impact Theory’s mission is:
“To free people from The Matrix. Said another way, we want to end the poverty of poor mindset.”
~Tom Bilyeu, cofounder Quest Nutrition & Impact Theory b.3/30/1976

A Lonely Path

Before we get to more of Tom’s Quotes, here’s more of why we deem this kind of immersion as essential.

The creator’s journey can be lonely and scary, especially if you’re aspiring to turn your creative interests into an income generating endeavor. The entrepreneurial journey is also a lonely one.

In both cases: creators and entrepreneurs (aka, “artist entrepreneurs”), so much of what we do is done alone and in isolation. Even when we can hire employees or freelance outsourcers, we’re the top level thinker, planner and doer—often wearing all the hats of all the roles in the beginning—and that again is typically an isolated and isolating role. 

Connecting

Thus the importance and benefit of connecting online with like minded folks in the area of interest you’re pursuing. We can enjoy virtual friendships and associations that help tremendously.

So join a positive and uplifting community that resonates with you if you haven’t already found one. If you’re not already a member of the iCreateDaily Facebook community or Creativity Challenges, we’d love to have you join us.

Biggest Challenge 

One of the biggest challenges for artist entrepreneurs…? Fear and doubt.

The fear that we’re delusional and the doubt that we’re not good enough, that nothing will ever come of our dreams and aspirations to do more in the world with our art.

Diss the Doubt

The #1 thing I do to knock fear on its face and dismantle doubt is to tune into those ahead of me. Entrepreneurs and creators who’re already where I’m heading, and others who are inspiring and encouraging by their example.

For they know the perils of the path and serve as guides and beacons to the rest of us at the uncertain forks in the road and the dark places along the way.

Your are more powerful than you know. Do not delay your journey to personal excellence.

The world needs your creativity, your power, your art, your work… your potential unleashed. And so do you.

Success Quotes by Tom Bilyeu

Life is a grand struggle until you realize that you are a chemical processing plant. And once you understand how to take control of the chemical processing… and you can do virtually anything you want, you can create desire, you can stay focused, you can improve… but you really do have to put yourself in a position of adapt or die.

“I’m going to be talking about wanting to be extraordinary, to transform yourself into something that is truly undeniable… to become so good that they can’t ignore you. And that has been truly what I’ve tried to do with my life, but I don’t prescribe it for everybody. I’m not saying this is the only way to live your life.

Tom Quoting Ray Dalio

“I don’t know if the life that I have lived is better than someone living a stress free, quiet life. I only know that it’s the only life I could’ve lived.”
~Ray Dalio, billionaire hedge fund manager, philanthropist, author, b.8/8/1949

SOURCE: Tom Bilyeu quoting Ray Dalio at Mindvalley Talks

So if for you, your life is best with less intensity and fewer ups and downs with less struggle and strife, then that for you, is the good life. If however, you have visions and dreams of doing great things… if you’re not satisfied and content with “comfort”, then it may be that your soul yearns for you to pick up the pace to your aspirations.

So whether you’re a creative hobbyist or a driven creator with visions of having great success doing great art, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you decide and act on it.

Only you can decide what life is right for you. We only ask that you make that choice consciously and not shortchange your potential, for one thing is proven anent the human body, mind and soul: we are all infinitely more capable than we’ve imagined, perhaps even in our wildest dreams.

About Tom Bilyeu

Tom Bilyeu used to be lazy, broke, overweight and somewhat depressed. Today…?

Tom Bilyeu’s Net Worth

As of 2020, Tom Bilyeu and his wife and business partner of 20 years, Lisa Bilyeu, are 9-figure millionaires estimated at around $400 million. They’ve built and exited one very successful consumer products business, Quest Nutrition, and have started another one around empowerment and education, Impact Theory.

The Bilyeus built both of their companies around compelling areas of interest… their passions. But how did Tom turn his life around, from sleeping half the day to such phenomenal success?

Setting goals and achieving goals. But it’s not JUST about goals.

New Year’s Success Secret

SOURCE: Tom Bilyeu’s 12/31/20 email to his list

The idea is to enjoy your process of self discovery, figure out what is actually important to you and realize that you can actually transform your life in the ways that ARE most important to you.

The point is to set goals that matter in living a life where you’re fulfilled and truly happy with yourself. 

Now… imagine all your goals are about making PROGRESS towards that life… 

That feeling.

Set goals and LIVE for that feeling.

As 2020 comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting a lot about who I was, many years ago, before all the “success” in my life.

The person you didn’t get to see…

I’ve been broke.  
I’ve been overweight.
I’ve ‘flirted’ with depression.

If you saw me earlier in my life, you would never think that I would go on to do anything even “useful” let us alone “successful.”

And yet, that’s exactly what I did.

Massive success…

How? 

The same process I’m sharing in Impact Theory University:

Setting goals, achieving them, setting the bar higher…

AND…

Setting goals, missing them,reflecting on how to do better next time…, and then actually doing it.

But look, there’s a big misconception about goal-setting and new years resolutions out there.

One is that somehow you can just ‘set a ‘SMART’ goal’ and if the words on the paper are right, you will magically achieve it…

Or… if you use a crushing amount of willpower, you can “will yourself” to achieve what you set out to do. 

Both are way off… 

The secret is not to become a goal-setting & achievement “machine”.

Or to rely on sheer discipline to make your goals happen.

The idea is to enjoy your process of self discovery, figure out what is actually important to you & realize that you can actually transform your life in the ways that ARE most important to you…

Set goals that matters in living a life where you’re fulfilled & truly happy with yourself (when you’re by yourself).

Now… imagine all your goals are about making PROGRESS towards that life… 

That feeling.

Set goals and LIVE for that feeling.

Simple Plan for a Terrible 2021

SOURCE: Tom Bilyeu’s 12/30/20 email to his list

How to make 2021 be the worst year ever, guaranteed (step by step):

1. Don’t set clear goals…

…When you don’t set clear goals, you can’t technically fail… and a lot of people use this as a way to defend their egos against the possibility of failure and hide from what they truly want in their lives.

2. Beat yourself up when you don’t accomplish what you want… 

…Which makes you feel badly about yourself.

3. Blame others/circumstances…

…To make yourself feel a little bit better about yourself instead of taking responsibility and ownership over your life (again, because taking responsibility brings discomfort, uncertainty, and the possibility of failure).

4. Repeat…

…Like 98% of people do when they try to set New Year’s resolutions and goals every single year.

What can you do to avoid this ‘scripted fate’? 

Decide that you’re not gonna accept this bullish*t from yourself!

Read the 4 steps above again… and just do the reverse (and practice it every.single.day)!
