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

What would you say are the three habits that you started to develop early on when you didn't

have a lot of money into becoming a millionaire?

Could you think back on three specific habits that supported you from going from

50 to $100,000 a year to breaking into the first million?

Yeah, I would say definitely consistency.

I was relentless in just keeping the same habits over and over and over again. I would then say it was the focus of just, I had one goal in mind of just like, I'm going to do this one thing. I'm doing really, really, really well. It's all I wanted to do. And I would also say, saving money. I mean, I lived really, really, really frugally. You're obsessed about that? Probably. Too frugal. I was too frugal. You were like every penny. I can't go out and have an extra sushi. I can't eat out. Oh, not even. I wouldn't even do the sushi. It was probably unhealthy. I mean, looking back, like, I can't have regrets about it. But but I mean, it got to a point where I remember,

I was talking about this yesterday, I was calculating the cost of gas to go and visit a friend,

and I determined, it's how bad it is though, like the cost of gas was not worth the time

I would be able to spend with his friend. And I did the analysis on that

like, that's stupid. Like, I should not be looking at it like that, but that's how I was in the

beginning. Where did that come from? Is that like a childhood learned behavior did you model that from somewhere where you just

like why did you feel like you needed to be so obsessive about every penny and decisions of like

driving to see a friend is it worth the money like when yeah um a lot of it i thought of like how

much i would be making or the cost of like my time and then extrapolating from

there like what my time is worth doing certain activities. There was also another point I must

have been like 15 years old maybe 16 age just got my driver's license and I remembered like how far $20 could get you. And I was like,

okay, if I have $20 and that's my budget and that's what I'm spending, I could put $10 in the gas

tank. I could, you know, spend $5 in a subway footlong sandwich. And that's like two meals

to $2.50 per meal. And then I have another $5 left over for like mislain.

Like I remember breaking it down to that degree. And then just from there, you know, taking
