What is Lewis Howes' new book and tour about?
There are two big things happening at one time that I've never done before. I'm going on a book tour for my new book, Make Money Easy, and I'm doing a podcast tour at the same time. It is going to be big, and I'm going to seven cities in 10 days. Get your friends, get your family, bring everyone you know to these cities. I'm coming to Austin, Texas, New York, Boston... Then we're going to Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. Make sure to get your tickets right now. Go to lewishouse.com slash tour. Again, bring everyone you know if you're looking to create more financial freedom and abundance in your life and you want to see a massive guest live on the School of Greatness show. Get your tickets. I can't wait to see you there.
If someone wasn't raised around the language of money and they weren't in an environment or a household that spoke about it in a good way, maybe they said money, you know, rich people are mean or bad people, or their parents always got angry when they saw someone who had money on TV and associated wealth with... a bad person.
Yes.
How do they break that mindset that not all wealthy people are bad people?
Yeah. Well, challenge that belief, right? The way that we change our thinking is to challenge those beliefs. So like literally write down the thing that you believe and then, you know, write down all the evidence that you can collect. That tells you the opposite. Like, that's how we change our mindset. Right. You know, so if I'm telling myself I'm not smart, I can collect all the evidence. Well, I graduated from law school. I graduated from undergrad summa cum laude. Right. Like, actually, there's evidence that I am smart. You know, let me point that out.
So I think it's being a lawyer of your life.
Yeah.
Of that belief system.
Exactly.
Which is something you understand.
Collect evidence to prove what you want to believe, right? And see if you can find out that it's true. Maybe it won't be, but you probably will find that it is. Because a lot of our thinking, it's just like, it's just something, it's a thought that was planted there in childhood or from whatever interactions we had that are memorable moment that are kind of stuck, right? And it's creating this like, This neural pathway that we just keep walking every day. We just keep saying that to ourselves. And so the way we create a new pathway is we got to start digging that path, right? To go a different direction. And the way you dig that path is start collecting evidence of the opposite. So look for examples of wealthy people who aren't, you know, trash humans, right?
I hope that I'm an example, right? And that there are plenty of others out there. So, you know, try to challenge those, you know, just... And I think it's just societal views. It's things that we tell ourselves. I don't know why. Maybe to make ourselves feel better for not trying to go after what we want. I don't know why we do it, but we do it. And... I think we can change it.
Yeah.
And I also think there's a different pathway, right? Like, I think there are issues that we experience as people of color, as queer people, as people living with a disability or chronic illness that other people don't have to deal with. And so we might get advice that's like, oh, just do these steps. It's so easy, right? When it's like, oh, but we're dealing with I got to take care of my mother as well. Like I when I make it, I also have to take care of all the family members who didn't make it right, who need help now that they're approaching retirement. Right. Like there's There's issues that we have that typically straight white guys don't have, right? And so that's why I focus on this audience.
And it's also just who is attracted to my work as well.
Right. I think it's to know your worth in general.
Yes.
And that's applied to everything in life. Like know your worth with your friends, with your family, in your partnership, with your relationship.
Exactly.
Don't sell yourself short in any area of your life. And you've got to learn to believe in yourself to do that, which goes back to step one for you. Exactly. Surround yourself with people who've done it and then learn to believe in yourself.
