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

There was one main thing that is blocking you from reaching your full potential.

0:13.0

And it's all because you're trying to do everything alone.

0:17.0

And that's a big problem because real growth happens when you build a community, when you're in a room full of people who want to see you thrive, who supports you, becoming your best self. And if that's something you're looking for, then make sure to join me at the Summit of Greatness live at the iconic Dolby Theater in Los Angeles down in Hollywood, September 12th and 13th, because this year is a powerful lineup of incredible speakers and performers like Gabby Bernstein, like Dr. Terris Swart, like Brendan Bouchard, Amy Purdy, and so many more inspiring surprise guests. You'll experience a couple days of transformation and inspiration

and deep connection with the community

that actually gets you and wants to see you thrive.

Tickets are selling fast.

1:04.7

So go to louishouse.com slash tickets right now to get your seats,

1:09.2

bring your friends and family,

1:12.1

and I can't wait to see you there at the summit of greatness very soon.

1:18.2

So I'm curious with all the people you coach and work with, what are the three keys that

1:23.9

they all have in order to build wealth sustainably and exponentially. What would you

1:31.0

say those three things are? Yeah, I mean, the first thing I'd say is most entrepreneurs,

1:36.0

unfortunately, because they've never been taught different, end up building companies they grow to

1:40.0

hate. Think about that. It's not the economy that takes a business down or an entrepreneur. It's usually the fact that they wake up one day and they look around and they hit what I call the pain line, which is essentially they have opportunity to grow, but the more they grow, the more pain they're going to feel. What is the thing they have the most pain around? Is it their teams, their customers, the clients, is it the industry they're in? It's the calendar. It's their schedule. Yeah. And it's maybe the way they hired where they don't have the right people or the thing they're selling is too complicated. And the more they do, the more their calendar explodes. So imagine you get an email where you could double your capacity, double your revenue, and you can't take that business on

2:18.7

because that would mean more pain in your life. And you're already trying to get more time

2:22.7

for the weekends for your kids or whatever it is. I mean, it's tough. And you're exhausted. You're burnt

2:27.1

bigger this gets, the more time you're going to have

2:34.4

and the more freedom. And unfortunately, if you're not taught to do it properly, that's what

2:39.4

ends up happening. And that's what happened to me. The three things that I would say that people
