Lewis Howes

And now it's time to go out there and do something great.

Welcome back, my friend, to the School of Greatness.

My name is Lewis Howes.

And if you are sick and tired of letting people walk all over you and feeling disrespected, then this is for you.

And you know why people walk all over you?

Well, it's not because they're stronger than you.

It's because you haven't set the rules.

The rules matter.

And here's the truth.

Respect doesn't come from being liked.

It comes from showing people how to treat you.

That's right.

And I used to get this wrong all the time.

I used to love everyone to like me and be happy with me all the time.

And that's where I failed every day.

I thought if I say yes to everyone, if I helped everyone constantly, and if I avoided conflict

And if I kept everyone happy and keep the peace around me, then I would earn their respect.

But unfortunately, the opposite happened to me.

The more I tried to please people, the more I tried to make everyone happy, the more I tried to get everyone to like me and be their friend, the less people valued me.

So what changed?
