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 or 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 a proof of concept if you have 10,000 people views your video.

Whatever, likes, whatever the case is, right? And then you take that and then 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 them 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 see was it a woman was it a man was it a kid did they buy it for himself was it a gift did they buy to wash their car with I have no idea did they haggle over the price now you know you know, you're on the computer, you go,

oh, somebody bought it, oh yeah, it's an 18-year-old kid,

lives in California, love to 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.

but all joking side, I learn from them

and I learn from these young men and
