0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.

0:50When I think about my own journey of sort of financial literacy, financial freedom, I think early in my life, I tried to capture money. Yes. And the idea was like, I want to gather as much in and have as little as much go out. And that is what I think a lot of people do. Yeah. How do I keep stacking as much as I can? What's interesting is part of why generosity, giving money is so good is because it allows you to develop a healthy detachment from money. I'm going, I can give money. It doesn't control me. I control it. And that's part of what I think financially giving does is it creates a healthy separation.

1:30Because what I noticed that ultra rich people do, they don't try to capture money. They try to be a conduit of money. Yes, it flows in and out. Flowing in and out. And what happens is when you capture it, you're trying to hold it. You're blocking the flow. And you're blocking the flow. But it's like if I'm a conduit, like a pipe, and I'm bigger, my pipe gets bigger and bigger and bigger. and more money just is constantly flowing through me. That's how I think it's like money leaves residue and it's like you capture a little bit of it stays. But the other thing is money captured is useless. Money is only, it only has value when we use it, right?

2:11When we give it to somebody, when we buy something we need, when we invest in an opportunity. And that's like, when your mindset is capture it, you're thinking of money as the end game. What rich people do is they think of money as a vehicle, right? It's just like, it's just a tool. It's part of the process. And that was like a big limiting belief or way that my relationship for much of my life was restricted. And this whole process of this book, Make Money Easy, is essentially about, actually before I even share that, about what this whole process is, I want you to leave in the comments on YouTube, on social media, the biggest takeaway or aha moments so far.

2:55Because there's a lot that me and Rory have been talking about that we probably never both shared together like this ever. Stuff that you don't talk about. No, no. That's even stuff coming up for you that you're like realizing as you're sharing some of this stuff. So share in the comments right now the biggest takeaway, the biggest aha, or the moment that you've enjoyed the most so far. and make sure to also get the book if you haven't yet. And all this stuff kind of is laid out in this process. This is not about investing or like finances. It's not what this is about. There's no like charts on how to like budget in here.

3:30This is not what this book is. It's everything we've been talking about, which is understanding the energy within you to create the life that you want. And this whole thing that you just said, what did you call it? Like a pipe or something? A conduit. Conduit. A conduit, yeah. The whole goal is for us to be able to expand our spiritual conduit, our soul's capacity, and our nervous system's capacity to receive more money so that we can receive and give it freely and be of service at the highest level and whatever that is for us. But if our nervous system is trapped because our beliefs are blocked from what is possible for us or because we're living in the past or the wounds or we've given meaning to pain and we don't feel we're deserving and worthy, then our nervous system is blocking our soul's ability to be a conduit, to expand, to receive and give greater.

4:27and that's what this whole thing is about. This process with the frameworks and the teachings and the lessons is how do we open our heart more to receive and give. And I don't even know if you knew that's what this was about before we even jumped in here because I was like, all right, Roy, we're going to talk about the energy of money and the mindset of money and then I want you to have, teach people the practical strategies that you've been doing with Brand Builders Group to help people really get focused in on what their unique gifts and talents are to serve at the greatest level so they can receive financially in the external world and feel like they're on mission and on purpose because that is true abundance.

5:08It's not making money on something you care nothing about. You and I can make a lot of money doing a lot of things, but like you say, just because you can doesn't mean you should. We could launch a, I don't know, shoe company tomorrow or a toothbrush company or whatever, skincare line. But it doesn't mean we don't enjoy those things, but it's not our main purpose right now. Yeah, totally. And just because we can make money doing something doesn't mean we should.
