Everywhere I go, airports, events, walking down the street, people stop me and say, Lewis, this show got me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. And it's one of the coolest things when people come up to me. So if you see me, please come up and say hi and let me know how this show, The School of Greatness, has impacted you. It lights me up because our mission at Greatness Media is to impact 100 million lives every single week. So if today's conversation hits home for you, do me a favor and push the follow button right now. It means that the next conversation will be delivered to you and will find you exactly when you need it. Again, thank you so much for being here and listening to the School of Greatness.
Make sure to follow right now to stay up to date on the latest and greatest. I have asked hundreds of people who have built incredible wealth about the year that everything changed for them. And they barely ever point to one deal, one job, one big launch, one big exit. They point to a stretch where they started thinking differently about what they were worth and what they'd actually say yes to and more importantly, what they would say no to. I have asked hundreds of people who have built incredible wealth about the year that everything changed for them. And they barely ever point to one deal, one job, one big launch, one big exit. They point to a stretch where they started thinking differently about what they were worth and what they'd actually say yes to, and more importantly, what they would say no to.
To. And for me, when I compare my life now to when I was broke and lost on my sister's couch, there were seven signs that helped made it clear I was actually building wealth. So today I'm going to give you these seven signs and the things that show up in your life before the money actually does. So this sounds counterintuitive, but I promise it's What will actually separate your current identity from the wealthiest version of yourself? And fair warning: most of these seven signs, they don't feel good, they're not enjoyable, they feel like losing friends, they feel like turning down work that you're used to being grateful for. They feel quiet and sometimes slow and backwards, which is exactly why people
Miss them. And they're standing in the middle of the proof and calling it failure. So please pay attention to which one sounds like your life because the ones that do are already in motion. So let's go ahead and dive into sign number one. You stop talking about money the way broke people talk about money. And again, if this is your first time here, my name is Lewis Howes. I've had this show for over 13 years, The School of Greatness. And again, I've interviewed some of the biggest billionaires and some of the wealthiest people in the world here. And I've also written a book called Make Money Easy that breaks down the relationship side that you have to money and what's blocking you emotionally from actually creating.
More money. But an opening question that I have for you is why do so many good, so many hardworking people stay exactly where they are financially for 20, 30, 40 years? And maybe you know someone in your life. Maybe you know a parent, an uncle, or a friend that has been working hard for 20 or 30 years. And for whatever reason, they still haven't broken free financially. So why do so many good, hardworking people stay exactly where they are financially for so many years? Well the answer is because they never stopped resenting the thing that they said they wanted. So hear me out for a second. When you listen to how people talk about somebody with money, they usually say a few different things. They might say, uh, that must be nice.
Well he probably inherited that money. She probably stepped on somebody to get that money. They probably did something illegal to get that money. I could never do what they did. Every one of those feels harmless because everyone around you is also saying them. So you're in a circle where people are reaffirming that same mindset and that same belief.
