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

Anybody who wants to have money, anybody who wants to have richness, can get there.

But it certainly is not as easy as everyone on the internet makes it seem.

It's not rah, rah, Amazon drop shipping, rah, raw, wholesale real estate, rah,

buy some life insurance and you're good to go. Like, that's just not it. And I think a big

conversation that like we don't talk about is like proximity.

Right?

So like in my life now, I have many rich friends.

And those rich friends provide me additional rich opportunities.

So I got to go to the US.S. Open on a bank's dime because my fiancé worked with a guy who is at an investment bank.

And he had four tickets, took him, his wife, my fiance and myself. Those tickets are thousands of dollars.

Right. Like they're very, very, very expensive. I have friends who had an incredible accountant, had, you know, great team in terms of

financials for business.

And they were like, you should talk to my team.

That's how I got hooked up with my business manager.

If you don't have that proximity to people who have money, who've done it, who played

the playbook, how are you going to learn it?

Because, sure, if you are a young person growing up low income and you want to make smart

money decisions, work very hard in school, get good grades, do the American dream thing.

And you go, you get to Harvard, okay?

You get to Harvard, the rich kids still don't wanna be friends with you.

Why not?
