About this episode

Lewis Howes has made a career taking the insights of millionaires and masters of crafts and turning them into digestible, actionable steps that everyday Americans can use to achieve their dreams. He’s talked to investing moguls, sports icons, mindset authorities, and everyone in between. Through doing this, he’s become an expert on building the mental landscape that makes you successful, accountable, and ready to make meaningful action in the world. He knows what it takes to build wealth, get rich, and start eight-figure businesses. And he also understands why you may not be ready to achieve your wildest dreams.

Lewis Howes knows most people aren’t ready to get rich. It’s not because they aren’t smart or savvy enough at investing. It’s because there’s something missing deep down—something they didn’t even know about. And Lewis has real-world experience with this struggle. He was flat broke only fifteen years ago, sleeping on his sister’s couch, watching his dreams of becoming a professional athlete slip away. He even got caught by his first mentor stealing food after a speaking event when he didn’t have enough money to eat.

Fast forward to today, and Lewis is a best-selling author, owner of a multi-million dollar business, and gets paid more in an hour than most Americans make in a year. So what changed? What steps did Lewis take to accomplish this unbelievable feat, and what can YOU do to repeat the same system that led Lewis to greatness? All that (and more) in this episode! 

In This Episode We Cover:

How Lewis Howes went from flat broke to multi-millionaire 

Why you’re NOT READY to get rich (and what you can do to change that)

The importance of getting a coach and why tenaciously leveling up your skills is crucial to success

Breaking out of rock bottom and how to build wealth when starting from zero

The three steps to greatness that will help you achieve any dream 

The one skill Lewis says you MUST have in today’s modern world 

Pushing past fear and how judgment stops so many from fulfilling their destiny 

And So Much More!
