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

I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential.

And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now.

It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it you'll learn how to build a plan for

I've been working on it for months, like this is never going to get finished. It's very easy to fall into that kind of
