Alex Hormozi is a first generation Iranian-American entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. In 2013, he started his first brick & mortar business. Within three years, he successfully scaled his business to six locations. He then sold his locations to transition to the turnaround business. From there he spent two years turning 32+ brick & mortar businesses around using the same model that made his privately owned locations successful. After that experience, he packaged his process into a licensing model which scaled to over 4000+ locations in 4 years.
Over that same four year period, he founded and scaled three other companies to $120M+ in cumulative sales across four different industries (software, service, e-commerce, and brick & mortar) without taking on outside capital. He has scaled and exited 7 companies. His most notable exit was his majority sale of his licensing company for $46.2M in 2021.

Is the book on audible
Currently, we only have the paperback and ebook versions of my new book but I am working on an Audible version soon :)
Got the book! YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!
no way.
@@IHGChick let me guess... you're even poorer than when you started watching the video cause you GEVE them money for a book that cant help you?
The School of Greatness community is on fire! Appreciate everyone for tuning in. I hope we were able to provide some values for the time you traded. 🙏🏼✊🏽
You rocked it
🧡
You inspire me man. That's why I've done and learned more since I started watching your YT videos and reading your book! Hope to one day sit at the same table as you! Keep on crushing it!
What I like about you the most Alex, is you have a genuine interest in staying candid and REAL. Please don't change... even after you become a billionaire and you're all over mainstream TV.
Thanks my guy for passing on valuable knowledge🤝💪
“For people who are poor, It’s because they don’t see reality for what it actually is” that statement alone can liberate you if you’re ready to hear it.
❤❤❤
They do see reality. They just focus too much on it and don't focus on anything else. Everybody who has ever been successful had a lot to overcome their reality as well. They focused more on the future, otherwise, they wouldn't have tried. A lot of LOA folks like to daydream and try to not see reality. But that doesn't work. They need to see reality and still believe in the future to have success.
But the worst thing they do is envy others' success or consider money as evil. Nobody ever get rich if they don't have positive view about money.

Hmmmmm

Not if you're an invading colonizer.
This is so true. I was one homeless and realised my hard work for my old job equated to nothing she decided to do eggs at I could do and build from there.
I borrowed a lawn mower, a trimmer, put up free local ads, and after only about a month or so i looked at my revenue and realised -considering hour for hour spent compared to my old job- I made as much in a busy weekend than my old job in a WEEK.
Now I have a 4-truck crew and barely get a chance to enjoy the sunshine while I train others to replace me.
Definitely school of greatness. No tuition. Straight to the point. No gimmicks. Great conversation 👌🏾 Thank you.
You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
I’m 16 years old in high school and I’ve learned more from this video than I’ve learned from the school LOL😂😂😂
Happy to hear that🧡
You'll find that happens a lot lol
Great video, but those school experiences whether good or bad all have lessons to be learned. When I look back on school I know I could have gotten more out of it by doing a little more on my end during and after school. Way to go by watching videos like these it will change the way you learn!
Well good for you. Now follow the advices from the video to see if you will become rich one day... then write a new comment about how you got rich...if you manage to get rich eventually.

The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich". These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

This guy Lewis has amazing interviewing skills, the questions timing, and also engagement
Thank you so much! Your comment made my day 😊
I was just thinking the same thing, halfway through the interview.
@@lewishowes Totally thought the same... you're interview style has improved a ton since I last watched one of your chats 👏
He didn't ask the question that no interviewer DARES to ask Alex: "What's it like to be married to a trans woman?"
It's true. You really do ask great questions. Questions I feel we all have when we need an elaboration on things when brought up by the speaker.
Alex has a unique ability to convey business concepts in a way that resonates deep to your core philosophically but is simple and direct. Glad to see him getting out there more- especially with great hosts like Lewis.
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂
Alex is very humble and understands that poor people have difficult hurdles too. Mindset is the biggest obstacle for poor people. You can't do anything, if you keep telling yourself that you will fail!
@@stephenc2481 You all are so right! I REALLY needed to hear this!
This is an awesome interview Lewis. Thank you for stepping out to get this to us. On it now! :)
These videos simply point out how money is a tool of division. . with everyone constantly fighting to out earn, outbid and out invest each other. . so they can hoard the planets resources. . and sell them back to their "countrymen" at a 300 percent markup!!! Lol but all you pussies keep denying the economic warfare and enslavement your maintaining AGAINST each other. . because your "winning"
My little bitty lawn business turned into a bucket truck / tree business and its working beyond my wildest dreams ..but I love doing it ...I think thats the key 🔑
Mane I want a job like this soooo bad😂😂 used to roam the block with a lawnmower cuz my mom ain’t had shi to eat
This video is a "broke mindset disruptor". For some, it may be the thing that causes them to begin (or continue) the process of change, great job!
@@Ozrictentacles87 money is the object used in the discussion, but it can apply to anything you want to be better at. It’s not about the money. It’s about you doing what’s necessary to see the outcome you desire. It’s about personal accountability. Slam it at your own consequence. Virtue signaling isn’t going to get you anywhere. Not even into Heaven.
@UCfovdJwwVz-O26oE1VMhPhw yes. I hit the bullseye because you didn’t even read and think about what I said. You think you don’t care about money, and then think that makes you better than anyone you judge to care about it. That is the very definition of virtue signaling.
Very concise. I've been on the fence so long, understanding this, yet still trapped into the idea of getting a job, yet now my opportunities are limited. WE ARE NOT AT 3.7% UNEMPLOYMENT. Time to get out and FU to the man and do my own thing.
Alchemy, transformation, movement! Awesome material! Thank you may we meet in the near future
Practical education. This channel is the real university for greatness. It took me more than 3 hours to absorb the gold . Always going back 40 secs to understand the wisdom better . Made a ton of notes . Thanks Alex & Lewis for this world-class knowledge!
How has your life changed since that? It has been a year right now
I enjoy and respect Lewis and Alex tremendously and get so much out of their content and interviews. Speaking to the portion in this interview about self worth I would offer that it is 100% an inside job that you ultimately will never get from any external conditions or success. Anything external will simply never be enough. Hence the need for more. You’ll find eternal self worth and value from doing the inside work of learning to love yourself unconditionally. This has been my work for years and I can now look in the mirror into my own eyes and feel boundless love in my heart and know that I am enough. Knowing that you’re enough sets you free. Keep the interviews coming guys you are both brilliant and your work is changing the world and having such a positive impact. ❤
Beautiful! 🙏🙏🙏
If you are enough then why chase for more success ?
@@allanchinhtc well, you have to do something with your time right? And the only thing you can keep on doing happily are things you feel drawn to, affectionate for. I think, good succes comes not from wanting more success, but from doing what you love and naturally getting better at it. If you are enough, you have the CHOICE to go for more success. You are not haunted anymore. You can sit on a mountain and laugh about silly life like Bhudda.
@@allanchinhtc For me, I feel like I'm not on the planet to be validated. I'm on the planet to add value. I want to help as many people as I possibly can in a vehicle that resonates with my spirit and my passion. I recently came to realization that leveraging capital is a necessary part of that equation.
Even though my self-worth isn't attached to my work, my work is of paramount importance and it is never finished.
I agree Claire.... I've absorbed a lot of information with this interview alone... It's realistic, informative, and it's changed my perspective on lucrative business practices.... Great Job!
*Yup,* poor folks can only see what their family/friends taught them.
This man is speaking pure truth! 💪🏽💯
Get out of those family and friend circles and go learn form someone else. Become and meet your opposite.
FactsOnFacts! @@stellarresolutions8708 _☝🏽_
@@stellarresolutions8708 except rich and successful people generally have nothing to do with poor people and defiantly don’t want them around. That is why it’s an old saying that rich people teach their kids to be rich and poor families teach their kids to be poor. People that grew up poor know survival and struggle but don’t know what to door or ask in order to get ahead. People get ahead by getting put on by someone usually.
I came from a situation like that and there's always inspirations. There's a bus station close can leave where you are
As an inner-city public educator of diverse learners for upwards of 25 years, I LOVE how passionate you both are about learning and investing in your own education…
Alex you hooked me when you said Gary didn’t have Gary(and im paraphrasing) making the world a better and easier place for our future generation and almost demanding that they surpass our greatest efforts and achievements….so that they ultimately become the GOATS… that part grew my heart exponentially in that moment…Its why most Educators do what we do…
Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society.
@jay pritchett hi, isnt the brotherhood a myth?
Imagine a world where most people operated at this level of efficiency.
❤
It’s always 20-80 Pareto distribution for any dimension of human condition or action.. so no - operating at this level of efficiency will never happen to 80% of the people.. question is - is it good or bad for a society as a whole?
@Jenson Kay
Bust a move, get some badass sh#t done let's get some stuff done! Total positivity
we would have no socialism. but in reality, people are lazy, in general.
Then people would be at constant war with each other as people would only focus on performance for themselves.
25:06 FEAR...... thank you for this podcast!
Getting over fear will take you to new levels in life.
Most people dont even know what questions to ask or that they should be asking these questions…..It comes down to education…….and good luck in a public school anymore. These videos on utube are amazing, nowadays almost anyone that wants to know can find out ! I have had adhd my wholelife and ive really grown mentally just from utube. Im 60 now but im mentally like a normal 25 yr old. I was 14 five years ago! The point the man on the right made about people needing to overcome mental issues is so spot on and until a person can realize that they even have issues that have affected their thought process and their perception of reality its hard to move forward because it’s painful to realize your whole reality in life is off….most people wont go there for this reason, the anxiety of looking intoyour own thougts to figuer out why you believe what you have believed can be so stressful it physically affects you and most just cant go there. You end up in a very uncomfortable state when you are breaking your ego. You cant have a big ego and TRULY be successful. The dark haired guy will get there though because he has admitt to himself that he has this issue and its all smoother sailing from there!
It’s podcasts like this that are 100000000x more valuable than people think after first listen. If you re-watch this and actually implement what these two geniuses are saying your life will never be the same.
Thank you 🧡

Ok now show us your bank account after watching some TH-cam videos 😂
I have to ask a question: if everyone gains and leverages skills so they’re earning more and more, who does the basic jobs that we all rely on someone doing? We can’t all run a cleaning business for instance - someone has to do the cleaning! Shouldn’t we be valuing those doing such work more and paying accordingly and consequently enabling these workers to live, have job satisfaction and feel appreciation for their work? With this kind of acknowledgment of individuals contributing to society the ‘trapped’ poverty mindset probably would disappear.
I agree with what you are saying. These videos do prove a lot of points. Sure with enough discipline/hard work anyone could be a millionaire. The way our society is set up some can take advantage of it. But not everyone can become a millionaire. I do think we need to start showing lower earning people some respect. They shouldn't have to struggle as much as they do. And not everyone's personality is suited for achieving so much wealth. If this sort of thing interests someone then this video could be helpful. But overall I feel this video is a passive insult to those in poverty.
If we got rid of the survival state that traps people in poverty then I feel this weird obsession with earning wealth will dissipate. There is trauma and personality disorders that cause a lot of road blocks as well.
People should be able to just be a cleaner and not have to worry that getting sick will financially ruin them and potentially make them homeless. I feel like these videos lack compassion for the human condition and further perpetuate the situation we are in.
I am also saddened that I had to go hunting to find someone who also saw this. Makes me feel like so many people are brainwashed and hoping for something that will never happen to them. Instead we should be trying to make things better for everyone, not just trying to climb on the backs of people to get rich.
But thank you for making this comment!

@@brickellvoss7739 Nice to see these two comments. You show great level of understanding the healthy society. The 80s period is a good example of ballanced society. There was some gap between rich and poor but not stratospheric. The poor were still able to have decent life. What this guy promotes is greed, greed, gredd and distraction. Maybe his surname has something to do with it.
Indeed. th-cam.com/video/hqS0e4-lnCQ/w-d-xo.html
Not everyone has the personality to be an entrepreneur, or has interest to be one. Only a slight percentage. But if you are this is quite helpful. most businesses don't thrive or last. Chances you'll succeed are tiny.
That coaching session at the end was great. Seeing such a successful guy like Alex open up and work through his limitations was amazing
Talking about buying and selling a million-dollar building to someone who lives paycheck to paycheck and probably can't even afford to buy a house to live in for themselves, how do you expect them to be able to buy a building?
Loan
I commend the guest for speaking about things that most successful people do not care to share or elaborate on and for being able to provide scenarios that make the info/data relatible to most people. Thanks for making things easy to understand. Kudos to both the interviewer and his guest!
This is one if my favorite channels. #EachOneTeachOne
Thank you so much for your kind words 🧡

Only the right skills applied in the right market for the right reasons
Everytime Alex opens his mouth he frames a lesson that can be applied immediately into ones life regardless of situation before needing to make the mistake first. Knowledge is only power if its used and I love how Alex expresses that action = success as action generates Knowledge.
My biggest role model !!!
Let's all become billionaires together 🙏🏼
U billionaire yet?
Six ways to get appointments:
1. Referrals
2. Affiliates (you could give them a provision of the sales)
3. Reach out to people you know
4. Reach out to people you don't know (notes, flyers, cold calls, email, door-to-door, DMs, etc.)
5. Create content (make people feel comfortable with your brand and make them feel they need you)
6. Paid ads
I loved so much that Lewis was trying to provide Alex with the tools that he needed push past his need for external validation in order to accomplish his goals. This was absolutely brilliant 🔥
Thanks!
I thought I was the only one! This interview was the best. Great questions.
This was the best part of the interview

Listening to this in the background whilst entering expenses. Love the rawness and tough questions! So good (and this at just the 59 minute mark). So much gold.
The amount of time we spend obsessing over time😂😂😂 Published my first book on Amazon 1 year ago. It took 30 minutes to create the book and publish it. I had wanted to do it for a long time and I was thinking, this is going to take forever! And I found this video where the guy walked you through the process step by step in 30 minutes. So around midnight one night I sat down and did the video and published my first journal! I NOW HAVE 8 JOURNALS on Amazon! 🎉😅. So all that to say be adventurous and courageous. You can do it.
Mind sharing the video?
Well give us some links then
Link?
Who was him?
Dang, I just got a huge perception shift. "Name the person that I'm letting stop me"...mind blown. Thanks a ton
Oh yes ! I hope everyone watching this level up financially physically and spiritually!
This is one of the best interviews I’ve watched big up both Alex and Lewis for this 👏🏽👏🏽
This interview should be included in any ‘Start & grow a business’ type of course. Alex just has this skill of taking complex things and explain them in simply how to tasks. Also, such a great example from Lewis about the pet sitter🔥🔥💣
I realize that for my entire life I've never had a mentor in the things I want to learn so I've always had to teach myself everything and it SUCKS.
That is because in order to find that right fit mentor you have to network. If you don't network, you won't find the mentor. Forget that bullshit, about "student being ready and teacher appearing."
@@stellarresolutions8708 ah, my old nemesis, meeting people
Alex is the very few people who have real world experience and can teach useful information.
It takes someone to truly believe in you as what had happened to Alex through his wife. And just like that he transformed. May one day we all find that one special person. 😊
"You can't make progress without direction, otherwise you're just moving." 👌👌
OMG I never knew entrepreneurs have like 10 other businesses in their graveyards!!! I've tried 3 and have felt like a "loser" because I couldn't sustain any of them! This makes me feel like trying again!!!
I love the dog sitter story and I find the gem is when Lewis says that it didn't happen overnight, he was exhausted for years, he build his brand, etc. The exemple is simple, the business is simple but the work, the effort, the journey is not. Sometimes we can get discouraged when something simple doesn't bring fast results. But simple isn't easy and everything has to grow with time. We forget it in this age of faster, stronger, better but it's the reality. Reminder for myself.
I'd rather listen to these guys all day and doing homeworks assign by them rather than listening to the bullshits my teachers say nonstop. Who agrees?
My mind is blown. I feel like I'll need to watch this over and over again to fully grasp all this.
watch it 10-15 times they say you only retain 7% of info reading or watching it once!
@@87GTdude Thanks for that. I figured I needed to hear it more than once. Now atleast I have a number. 🙏🏽Thanks
@@87GTdude o i thought it was always me lol.. Read so many books and thought UAha so many times, only to forget like all of it except a few main thoughts
Thats ok! Do what you need to do! Im going to do the same!
Don't waste time re-watching. Just have a positive view about money and the rich lifestyle. And be really really hungry for money. The LOA gurus try to tell you, you need to think u already have all that, that is just not true at all. Every successful people or crazy rich people never thought they would be so successful, they were hungry for money or success. They were not pretending they had it all.
It's just an excuse they use to defend themselves when you didnt manifest, they would say...oh you just wanted it too much, u need to pretend u already have all that. So they are free from any blame, you will get the blame instead.
These people get successful by telling people what they want to hear, and monetizing it, writing books about it. And then they also get other rich people (who did not become rich by LOA coaching) to speak about all these by offering them money for speaking in conference and book deals etc.
"It is easier for me to change my conditions, than to change who I am" I heard that!
We can practice the teachings of this man we will all become millionaires! who’s with me??
This interview was immensely helpful. Both the concrete steps that Alex offered as well as the honest and vulnerable insight into how both of you think and feel is greatly appreciated. I just finished reading a book, The Courage To Be Disliked, that shares Alfred Adler's psychology in the form of a dialogue. It speaks directly to what you were talking about around the 1 hour mark of this interview (why do we need external recognition/approval). This book and Adlerian Psychology is a game changer. Thanks for all you do!

I am poor because I became afflicted with severe nonstop physical PAIN. I am tormented every day of my life since I was 29 yrs old with incurable pain.
(through no fault of my own)
We are humans and are NOT designed to live every hour of your life in physical PAIN and hurting.🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ This ended up infiltrating every crack and crevice of my life. In the end…family loss, career loss, no friends and homebound.
What do you recommend for someone LIKE ME who has a reality that is not a norm?
Please give advice?
I am so lost.
I am looking for a better life SOMEHOW even though I will never be free from this physical PAIN.
❤😊When I was younger (before 29),..I never gave a single thought about waking up every day WITHOUT PAIN in my body. It was just a given, as I planned my days, years, life. We think things like “I hope I don’t ever get Cancer, I hope I don’t ever have a bad car accident “,..things like this. We don’t normally think,..”I hope I don’t ever end up in incurable PAIN for life”. In my worst nightmares,…I never could have come up with such an absolutely grueling existence as having some things in your body nonstop and it is NEVER going away.😑
Unthinkable.
I’m 58 now. The only way to be FREE from this physical pain hurting me,..is to die.
I don’t really have any good choices here but to continue on hurting and trying to just get through each hour. One hour at a time. I had my life all planned out….THIS was not anywhere in my plan.
Hey EVERYONE,…appreciate your pain free body ! It is HUGE in being able to achieve your LIFE GOALS. Just saying…..❤😊
Amazing conversation. Alex is going to be the next huge name in entrepreneurship. His first book is easily my favorite business book ever.
Does he touches the topic of starting a business ( I mean is it good for beginners?) or he just talk about driving more sales?
@@ransmiki3138 yes it is good for beginners also.
@@ransmiki3138 its on how to create your offer. so the first thing you need to do, because you need something to sell
🧡
What's the title of his book?
The end of this video where Alex talks about the experience of selling his then business and how it frees him up intellectually to create is very resonant and affirmative for me. I recently sold my business to do more of what I am truly passionate about. Soulful and expansive success is a ride!
Tate said passions will never bring you real money 💰

I have no idea who are these men, but after few minutes watching I am crying my eyes out. So true!!!! I am now 54 yo and just figuring all this out. I have had long and haaaaard life, but having finally some strength I am about to take new course for my life. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I would like to have some suggestions for free blogs, online books or such, as my connection is so slow for videos. Thank youuu ❤❤❤
Beautiful, riveting and couldn't-stop-watching-interview, Lewis. As usual, it was outstanding and Alex, this is the first time i heard you speak. It will not be my last. Thank you for being so vulnerable. Lots of gold here, friends.🥳

@@tufioos5644 Few things...
BE, DO, HAVE. Be the person who takes the action to have the things manifest in reality.
Take 100% responsibility for what happens. Being a victim doesn't serve anyone. Shit happens, get over it and don't take it personally.
Stop analyzing so much and get into action!
It's okay to look stupid and not be the smartest in the room.
Everyone else struggles with imposter syndrome too. Get into action!
Find a mentor or coach to hold you accountable
Be authentic and vulnerable (see Brene Brown)
Don't define your self by what you have. Toys are meaningless in and of themselves and having $$ and the nice car does not give you a license to be an asshole.
Get enough sleep and get up at 5AM, practice yoga/workout daily, meditate/mindfulness daily, and stop eating so much pizza!
Action is better than education. The MBA is nice, but learning by doing is better.
Learn to not trade time for money.
Learn to use other people's money.
Learn sales and leadership.
Burn more bridges. It's okay to have people not like you. If you have critics then you're probably doing something right.
Take 100% responsibility for your life and get into action (see the theme?)
@@degenyogi6140 Wow, i mean, wow wow wow. Thank you so much!

Sitting here from a 3rd world country (KENYA) and the insight and change of perception is priceless. You guys are superb.
I love how honest he is, e.g. in the 2nd half of the convo.
Sitting in the middle seat builds charcter and can be an adventure! Sleeping on someone's couch is nice for the thought, but I don't show up at my friend or family's house with my kids and husband. This can present some logistic challanges and unhappy family members.
This was an unbelievable interview and as I was listening to it, I felt like I was just getting more hungry for information. This is what people pay to listen to for self development. Thank you!
36:42 Such amazing insight about building and appreciating others along the way to success in business and in life. A huge, important life lesson.
I don’t know, I’m 47 years old been in school or working all my life. I’ve only had about five vacations in my entire life, but I’m still not at a higher level. It’s easy to make these statements but it’s harder to get people to give you jobs that will pivot you above the curve. Just my journey I’ve had……
Exactly, it's not about what you know. it's about who you know will mentor you. They say all this shit because they were lucky enough to have it taught to them. It's all a show.

@@caser1010 Nope. I went from 33k to 110k in a year. That 33k year was to up my experience in trucking. I left that company and moved on to a much better company that required more endorsements than the 33k job did. No one mentored me. I sought information out because I was tired of spinning my wheels. I sought the information and found it. No one held my hand.
@John Kirkland What company do you work for, and how long have you been in trucking?
Don't work for others...side hustle
Wow... This guy has got me on 🔥🔥🔥. Paused at 24 min and just got started 😅

40:00 - these kind of interactions makes one wonder if we would do that if no one will ever know that we gave it away and we knew that at that time
Agreed, one person doesn't have enough time to make ALL the mistakes. We must learn from others.
Being distracted by playing video games, or watching movies, I think that might be a small part of it. In my opinion the real distraction comes from the employer wanting people to work all the time, that's the major distraction. They want to take away peoples time and energies to stop people from achieving their dreams and getting away from the drudgery.
Maybe another distraction is lack of funds to live? Like lower wage people. So I think some employers are used to their employees working overtime... its not because they want to get ahead but because they need it. With prices going up and rent being unreasonable for who knows how long... Survival is a distraction. If people earned enough with reasonable hours then they could easily pursue so many other avenues. But we are all built differently and each persons tolerance for stress is different. Human mind is a crazy thing and it does trick you, but I think in large is the cultural situation that is the biggest distraction of all. If people were not struggling to live and being taken advantage of by people trying to make a such a high profit. Then this weird obsession with obtaining wealth wouldn't be so prevalent.
The real distraction is people making money their god.
People spend so much time going after money by taking jobs with long hours and taking second jobs and sometimes third jobs just to try to get some extra money, and they end up breaking themselves down and leaving themselves with no time or energy for anything else.
They will also spend irresponsibility on attempts to get money like lottery tickets and bad investments and gambling.
This is not a distraction. It's all about how that capital is used. I'm currently working 12 hr days 6 days a week for the next year but after that I'll have enough money to focus solely on my chemical engineering degree. We have to take that money and invest it into ourselves aswell as learn how to invest it
As an employer I have no desire to take away any extra time from employees than what they've contractually signed up for. But due to the nature of some jobs, those extra hours are needed. I want people to go home and see their families, I want people to have a good quality of life, but crap happens and so does overtime. Luckily in my field people are well compensated for their time and I have no problem paying it. Employers aren't evil monsters out there hoping to crush the dreams of those who work for them. They are simply people doing a task just as the employees. The real question is do they realize the time being asked of their employees? A big struggle now is even finding people to fill positions who actually want a job. That could be a factor. Your employer may themselves simply be a cog in the machine of a corporation with some boss over them who has demands. Employees are not slaves and can leave at any time from any job, always remember that. If they choose to stay, then they either don't mind or they have set limiting beliefs and fear that they won't be able to find anything else and so they shackle themselves to the job.

Fantastic candid conversation, on The Human Condition measured by economics.
Thank you for your service!
I'm trying to build my dog walking/training business. So thankful for this talk! ❤️🙏🏼💜
It's amazing Lewis is literally coaching the guy!
I loved this interview!!
Great interview with tons of actionable info as always 🙏🏼
This is such a valuable and helpful conversation - thanks to both of you!
As a mom of 4 children 4 and under I wanted to be more than just a mom and wife. Finding time was key!!! My big thing was ensuring I didn’t lose my family in the process of growing in other areas of life 💕 great content! Thanks for the video!
You're welcome,thank you for being here 🧡
Don't forget to loose sight that bearing children and being a mom/wife is among the highest honors and most complex "jobs" skill since the dawn of time. Arguably the most important as well. I only say this because I think society is starting to loose sight of this.
@@brandonhopkins5830 thanks for the positive comment! I believe it’s the most essential job considering the children are our future
Good luck! Wish you all the success.
You can succeed!
'I get to be a mum of 4 , as well as a succesful life in.....'
These videos simply point out how money is a tool of division. . with everyone constantly fighting to out earn, outbid and out invest each other. . so they can hoard the planets resources. . and sell them back to their "countrymen" at a 300 percent markup!!! Lol but all you pussies keep denying the economic warfare and enslavement your maintaining AGAINST each other. . because your "winning"
the idea of being a good leader of YOURSELF- amazing
🧡
Great candid talk! Our limited beliefs can be crippling to many of us preventing massive action.. External validation should be from within and then taken from the source.
Lewis - You always ask the best questions.
Alex - You always have the best answers.
Fascinating conversation. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this motivational discussion. Much needed perspective realigning in our mindset.
Wow this might be the best episode I've ever seen you do Lewis!!! Thank you so much for putting this out and for thinking around the issues so thoroughly!
You're welcome,thank you for being here 🧡
Amazing energy between you two, felt like a very seamless interview that ended too soon! Great work on this one and great questions. Gunna have to rewatch this one!

As someone who’s knocked doors for a summer I think school made me lazy. Going door to door was super exhausting mentally. Paying attention to every word they say and responding etc. school is way easier than what life really takes. I think that’s a flaw.
I daydreamed through grade school and ended up top student in middle school and top 3 in high school. Got two college degrees, disliked my jobs, feeling like I'm never getting ahead. Finally started my own business and I've never learned so much in such a short amount of time and getting skills I never thought I would get
This is a phenomenal skill if you want to do sales, other than that, it's a useless waste of your time. My career is in data analytics. It depends on what you want to do. I make great money, but am not rich. HOWEVER, I would not do sales if my life depended on it. If you do sales, you have no ceiling but you also have no floor. It depends on your skills.
@@jessigirlrae1688 Very true the floor is always rock bottom though. Sales for me though is still harder than the construction i do now haha
Should always be selling...a good or a service or even an idea....give another a job....become a leader and take risk, set goals.. to me this is success.
so this is how millionaires and high level leaders talk to each other. I will be watching more of your interviews as the more I watch others at that level, the more clarity I will have in who I need to become.
Appreciate you and your support🧡
Thanks a lot. This changed my perspective about everything. I have a whole bunch of skills but I'm still lacking because I'm doing nothing about it. It is very true that poverty is a mindset .you spoke directly to my soul.thanks
Glad this was helpful for you🧡
Waoow! Deeply inspiring! Get started and change your mindset! Brilliant interview...
Thank you!
This is a great video, and very true. I noticed that real estate was mentioned a couple of times. All of the people buying up real estate, flipping it and selling or renting them for way higher are contributing to homelessness, inflation, and a housing crisis. I know they are hard working people trying to get ahead and there will always be people doing this, but rent has nearly tripled here. Rates of homelessness, and crime have tripled as well. The worst part is, the properties and rentals are so expensive they are mostly sitting empty. My parents who have worked their butts off all of their life and were so close to achieving their retirement goals, can't afford to sell their house and buy a small place out of town anymore. Say what you will about poor people being poor for a reason, but profiting off of other people's vulnerabilities and suffering will always give you extremely bad karma.
How many slaves would a man with 400 wives have had? Would he have been truly happy? Will his descendant be content when he is a billionaire?
I can't agree with this more! Thank you!
Yes this is very true right now.
People don’t flip in a vacuum. You can buy and increase prices to flip, but if nobody wants to buy at your price, you’re left with the bag. Prices increase because there are people willing to buy at that price.
18 minutes in and there is so much value, this could have been cut to 6 vids and each would have been gold. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm planning on starting a business within the next six months. I know I'm greater than my current hourly wage. I've acknowledged the fact I'm not on earth to barely get by. I can truly live the "American dream" because I see the potential in myself. I don't see myself running a 7 figure business. But I'll get at least a comfortable 6 figures and I'll be content. Great video. Great motivation.
Thank you Lewis for this amazing resource for us who are in the search for role models. I admire your humbleness wneh receiving such great persons. Greetings from Mexico!
I love that point about being grateful to his mentors for helping him advance farther than they did, because they didn't have themselves as mentors, they had to figure it out on their own.
And at the same time, being happy that the next generation is able to achieve more than he did at their age, because he has published his courses and helped them learn to do it better and earlier.
I only hope that this perspective can be picked up by the next generation, to stop blaming Boomers and instead see everyone's place in this process. We learn from the previous generation and then we try to make it easier for the next generation.
Agree abour mentors. Each generation should help the next, by learning from mistakes and developing critical skills and awareness.
This interview blew my mind. I've heard these things before, but for some reason it hit differently. Thank you for all of these reminders ❤️
Thanks for being here!
@@lewishowes no prob. Keep doing the great job you do.
This is what I need. The calling to take actions 🔥🔥🔥
44:44 - I just closed a business I ran for a decade in July due to looming legislation. I felt great, like I was just freed from a burden... but within a month, I was lost. For a decade, that business was my identity... and now it was dead... it was my own symbolic death, and I started living in limbo... I feel the vision comment in response is accurate. I had a clear vision, I got up everyday with a clear purpose, and I was considered an expert. Now, I'm no one going nowhere. I'm in search of my new goal to get me out of this state...
Read the power of now😉
YES LEWIS! I've been watching for a long time and I'm so glad to see your progression and how great your new studio looks.Inspiring stuff man 👏👏👏
Appreciate you and your support🧡
Becoming rich will require very hard work or blind luck. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.
Define hard work
Not always hard work. Ever hear of work smart not hard?
@@JenMarco not one of them but both of em! You work hard and then discover new ways to work smart
Becoming well off is a mix of education, luck and hard work. People underestimate the luck element massively.
Also knocking people for taking time off is crazy. Especially considering so many people are working low salary jobs for long hours to survive.
The people talking here make a living selling you courses. Do them all, buy them all. Fmg.
Great content Lewis. Having Alex on stage really brings things to a different level. The eloquence and how articulate he is, really democratizes the access to wealth.... Thank you both for sharing this... I've learned so much on this podcast that I doubt I'll be ever able to pay you guys back....
You're welcome, thank you for being here 🧡
You owe them nothing.. But if u wanna "pay" him back... Then do what youve learned from him... But you owe him nothing
