0:00There are two big things happening at one time that I've never done before. I'm going on a book tour for my new book, Make Money Easy, and I'm doing a podcast tour at the same time. It is going to be big, and I'm going to seven cities in 10 days. Get your friends, get your family, bring everyone you know to these cities. I'm coming to Austin, Texas, New York, Boston.

Again, bring everyone you know if you're looking to create more financial freedom and abundance in your life.

0:40And you want to see a massive guest live on the School of Greatness show. Get your tickets. I can't wait to see you there. Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:59I used to hate feeling satisfied. I used to say that if I ever felt like I was content, that was the worst thing in the world. Like last year, I started feeling content, and I was like, oh, does that mean my drive's gone? Your hustle's gone, your drive's gone. Yeah, my hustle, and like, you know, cause I used a lot of like the negativity that has happened in my life to prove myself, to show what I've gone through, and I got rid of that. So I was like, is my drive gone? Like, do I not have the same? You're like, I just wanna relax on the weekends. Yeah, and what I realized was that, like, it didn't go away, it actually just made me more calm and peaceful so that I was more able to go and be really passionate about the things that I loved when I needed to do that and then I could turn off.

1:40Being in this world, your image is very important to protect because you want to make sure that you don't show the weaknesses but for me what I've learned is that like your weaknesses, your vulnerability is what makes you strong and to be able to have somebody relate to you is I think really important for that person. because they see us here in this incredible world. It's abnormal. It's not normal. But yet, we're all still normal and real. And we don't usually show those things. So, I don't know, I just would say that I'm just human. And I have my moments and I have my insecurities and I cry.

2:22I never used to be vulnerable. I always used to be a tough cookie. Never let him see you sweat. Never. Like, oh, that's a piece of cake, you know? because I wanted to prove again that I was really strong and that I could do this and I could keep up and that I was meant to be here with everybody else whereas now I think that like I don't care I'm not searching for people's approval anymore I mean of course we all are here and there but like that's not my main drive and so I think now I'm just kind of like yeah I don't care I mean if they like me they like me if they don't they don't I feel like I have a lot of great ideas and I'm passionate about this and oh my gosh this would be a great TV show idea or I need to sing or I need to go on tour and and so I would have so many things on my plate that I would never do them all really well I would be outstanding at all of them I would kind of just be okay in the last couple years I'm like okay how do I trim the fat basically like I need to prioritize and what makes me happy what makes me like get super excited and if there's anything that doesn't make me feel that, I need to get it away.

3:28And so there was a lot of projects that I had that it would just overwhelm me, but I was like, but it's such a good idea, I need to do this. And then I was like, but I'm not even that passionate about it. You know, but I'm like, but it could make a lot of money and it could be a success and it could be this and it could be that. And then I'm like, but I'm really don't even care about it. Like I do because I think it could be something, but it's not that I'm like completely all in on it. My advice would be to trim the fat, like literally get all of the things that you think you have that are important.

3:56It's almost like clearing the table and then grabbing the things that you're like, okay, this, this, this. That you really want. That is my priority. And then once this is kind of feeling like it's going, then I can trickle in something else. It's got some momentum, or you've got a system in place, or a team that's running it. Yeah, but if there's too much, I always feel like nothing's gonna get done, or it's not gonna be my full potential of what I know it could have been. I think there's a lot of anti-bullying, and that's an anti-thing, and I'm like, well, the only like cure for that is by doing something.

4:26So instead of being anti-bullying, Before kindness. Before kindness. So, you know, for me, it's always about what can I do to inspire, like, and to love. And like, I want to now be remembered for who I am as a person rather than what I've accomplished. And then what I've accomplished is great because then it will be a platform to be that person, you know, and like help.
