Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

How do you get connected to the heart in an industry that is all about ego?

Sometimes, at least for me, and you've probably noticed this more than me because you've been at this game where you're interviewing these movers and shakers. Majority of people, they have that story. You know, you stop believing in yourself and you suck and you're just not good, where it can bring you to your knees, you know? Yeah. And that's what happened to me. I was brought to my knees where I was on the bottom.

Literally, or figuratively.

Literally where, I mean, there's clips of me dropping another ball and just hitting the earth, the grass, out of frustration.

And I would go home that night.

And I would be crying in my room drinking a bunch of alcohol and crying and just spiraling out of control.

And a lot of people, maybe they go through it differently.

But I think that's part of the process.

I mean, that's part of you coming face to face with who you really are.

And I think from there, that's how you learn.

At least that created a real hunger for me to go out and actually study the great ones.

You know, study the people that have had great success because it leaves clues.

That's true.

You know, I don't know who quoted that.

That's not my original.

Success leaves clues.

But whoever said that, it's wise.

Because the formula for success is there. But we all have these stories, stories of jealousy, there's stories of, okay, I'm not good enough.

There's stories of I don't have what it takes and the self-doubt and all that, envy, and all that stuff.

And I was able to start reading about people's lives, biographies.

Then you start reading mind, body, and spirit.
