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

There's no one way to get to the level that you consider successful, but with this day and

age of social media and technology, where there is no barrier to entry

anymore of meeting and getting out to people. So now in any business, no matter what,

you need to have a proof of concept, meaning, hey, I may think that my cupcakes are tasty,

but let me see how many people buy them. Now, if you can't even make a cupcake, I'm sure you can film a 30 second video on your phone of you making it or telling people about it.

And you can get proof of a concept if you have 10,000 people views your video.

Right.

Whatever, likes, whatever the case is, right?

And then you take that and then improve one and improve on it and start the process, right? Before, it wasn't that easy necessarily. Right. You know, before when I made a shirt, I had to go and either sell it on the corner, sell it to somebody and then I had to find the person the next day to sell it to them again. Or if I sold it to the store, who would they sell it to?

Who walked by and pick it up? Unless I'm going to sit in the store all day.

Was it a woman? Was it a man? Was it a kid? Did they buy them for himself? Was it a gift? Did they buy it to wash their car with?

I have no idea. Did they haggle over the price? Now, you know, you're on the computer, you go, boop, oh, somebody bought it. Oh, yeah, it's an 18-year-old kid, lives in California, you love the skateboard, has a

pit bull, and has a bad case of danger.

This is where we are today.

So you can test your concepts very, very easily, and you can then be more equipped to go

out to the world, and you'll find funding.

There's so many ways of getting funding now. The person who learns the most from Shark Tank, whether the viewers or anybody else is me.

I learned from my joke about the other sharks, but all joke and aside.

I learn from them.

And I learn from these young men and women who are coming up here and they're doing business an entire new way.
