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

Being broke teaches you resourcefulness before riches. Now money doesn't create resourcefulness. Once

you have it, you're not more resourceful. Resourcefulness creates money.

It's never a bad bet when you invest in yourself. It's never a bad bet when you invest in

yourself. When you're broke, you can't buy your way out of problems. You learn to figure things out.

You learn to ask better questions. You learn to ask better questions.

You learn to build skills. You develop skills by overcoming the fears and insecurities to develop them.

You learn to create value without throwing money at everything. I've heard this by different founders

before that when you raise a bunch of money, you can throw money at problems

and hopefully it'll fix it and solve it.

But a lot of startups aren't successful

just by throwing money at problems.

And they actually lose all their money

and then they're not resourceful in getting out of that problem.

It's about learning how to be resourceful, enrolling people in your

vision, developing skills, adding more value in your service. And this is why a lot of

people also who win the lottery end up broke again. The statistics don't lie.

Getting a bunch of money is not going to solve your life or fix your life.

If so, why do a lot of people who get all this money

in a lottery go broke or bankrupt within a couple of years?

And many of them have more problems afterwards

and many of them have committed suicide as well
