Lewis Howes

And again, I go back to that quote that, you know, really successful people say no more than they say yes.

So remember that and remember this strategy, own your no.

Strategy number two,

Speak with certainty.

Respect isn't just what you say, it's how you say it.

And a lesson I want to share with you is that confidence in your tone creates confidence in their response.

So a great quote by Goldie Hawn is that if you squeeze the sand too much, it will fall out of your hand.

So hold it nice and easy.

Now, when I used to...

mumble or used to say sorry before every sentence, people would talk over me or they just wouldn't have the same respect for me, the authority for me because my mom says this to me all the time.

My mom is actually staying with me right now.

And she goes, you used to mumble all the time.

I can never hear you.

And even now I still kind of mumble.

I go back into my old pattern sometimes when I'm just kind of relaxed, sitting on the couch, you know, hanging out.

I'll just kind of like late at night, kind of like mumble and say something.

And she's, you know, a little hard of hearing now in her age.

And she was like, you're mumbling again.

And for me, it's just a reminder.

It doesn't mean it's like bad if it's like 10 p.m.
