Show Quotes
What is your definition of greatness? For Lewis it’s figuring out what our unique gifts and talents are, and serving others in that process.
If you don’t know what your greatness is, ask your friends.
Find your perfect day – be clear on your vision and take the time to dream about what you want. Go into nature, disconnect from social media and ask yourself “If I can have anything in my perfect day, what would that look like?” Don’t feel guilty or feel bad about anything… just tap into your desires and then WRITE IT DOWN! Once you get clarity on what you want, you can take action to make it happen.
Create a detailed itinerary of exactly what you want. Look at your daily schedule and figure out where you can take the time to fit in elements from your perfect day.
Adversity is going to come no matter what. Embrace the change and use it as momentum rather than a roadblock.
The results we get in the world affect our self worth. How much do you want to learn & grow to become the person you need to be?

Awesome to have Lewis on the show. He’s always a great inspiration to hear from. Lewis has done an amazing job of marketing his book and the way he describes his success from spending 7 years relationship building and giving without asking for something in return sums up why he’s where he is today.
