0:42Lewis Howes:Your relationship with money must change before your bank account can change. Or if your bank account changes, your relationship will still be hurt. So ask yourself right now, do I believe money is hard to make? Do I believe I have to sacrifice everything in my life and give up my family and my health to earn it? Do I feel guilty when I spend money, when I spend it on myself or for an adventure that I want to go on? Do I feel like wanting more money makes me a bad person? If you answered yes to any of those, you don't have a money problem. You have a belief problem. And this does not mean you are a bad person if you think this way.

1:25This just means you've been conditioned, you've been put in an environment, and you've been thrown into a belief system already from peers or parents or your society or your culture that

1:40Lewis Howes:has put you in this situation. And this is why you have come to this video. This is why you've come to this episode. And I hope this is that turning point for you where you come back to this episode, where you share this with your friends and say, hey, let's talk about this together. You don't have a money problem. You have a belief problem. And beliefs can be changed. Beliefs can be changed. And I'm telling you, if I can change my beliefs around money, my relationship with money, when I felt so scarce, when I felt so insecure, when I felt like, why would anyone ever give me money? In my early to mid-20s, I was like, I'm going to be broke forever.

2:20Lewis Howes:That's literally, I was living on my sister's couch for a year and a half. not making any money, afraid for the future, thinking, how am I ever going to make money? The economy was crashing. The housing market crashed. They weren't hiring people with master's degrees. And I hadn't graduated college yet. So I had all these beliefs like I'm sleeping on my couch. I have no skills. I have no talent. I was in the bottom of my class. I don't have a college degree. How am I going to ever make money in this economy? And some of you might be thinking that right now. This was back in 2008. We're in 2026 in this moment of recording this.

3:01Lewis Howes:And you might be thinking the same thing right now. Gas prices are like 10 times higher now than they were then. Houses and apartments are 10 times higher than they were then. It is like, it feels like there's a war every other day. It feels like there's the AI revolution. What do we do about this? Everyone's losing their jobs. Is there any security and financial future? I'm in so much debt. How am I going to get out of debt? It might feel overwhelming to you right now as well. And I'm here to tell you, if I was able to get out of it, I know you can as well. if an insecure little boy with a lot of wounds, with a lot of conditioning, with an uncertain future, with an identity that was broken down, if I was able to get out of that space and learn how to create a more abundant future for myself, then I know you can as well.

4:02Lewis Howes:I know it. You have to be willing to receive the right information. You have to be willing to apply the information on a daily basis to set yourself up for success, you need to be willing to have the courage to learn in the messiness because, gosh, I am still learning today. And I feel like it's been almost, you know, 17, 18 years or whatever since I was that scared little boy on my sister's couch in my mid-20s. I was a grown man, but literally I was a little boy emotionally trying to figure out life. And it has taken courage to read information, to learn about things that I had no clue about and feel so stupid that I was like, man, I feel so ignorant.

4:53Lewis Howes:Like I have no clue what any of this money stuff is. and learning a new language, learning a new vocabulary, learning an unfamiliar way of being to go from a place of scarcity into abundance. And I'm telling you, if I can do it, I know for certain that you can. If you're willing to apply yourself consistently, have the courage to fail and make mistakes and sound or look a little silly for not knowing at all, and that's okay. I still don't have all the answers. That's why I continue to sit across from the world's leaders on money, entrepreneurship, and business to continue to learn to get to the next levels of my life as well.

5:33Lewis Howes:So you don't have a money problem. You have a belief problem and beliefs can be changed.
