Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1912DM Dean's parents were so financially strangled they didn't even realize money controlled every decision. No baseball games. No vacations. Everything was through that lens of scarcity. That became Dean's earliest lesson: recognize when you're being choked and you can fight back. But here's the problem most people miss. Once they make real money, they stop pushing. They feel safe. They coast. And coasting, Dean argues, is a kind of slow death. His solution isn't positive thinking. It's building a toolbox of motivations; some pulled from inspiring futures, some pulled from painful pasts. Dean uses his father as his hard line: a man who worked hard but never fixed his internal wounds, who ended up estranged from his entire family. At 90, they're close, but it took decades of regret to get there. Dean's real fuel? The fear of wasting his life. Of becoming complacent. Of getting to the end and watching a video of the man he could have been. That's what keeps him moving.

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

  • Once people start to make a little bit of money,

  • why do you think they all of a sudden stop pushing as hard when they feel more financially safe?

  • A really great question.

  • You know, if these sound like just worn out analogies, I'm sorry, but I still live these all the time in my head.

  • I think we have to figure out our own operating system.

  • There's certain things that drive you.

  • That may not drive me and vice versa, right?

  • Some people are motivated by the stick.

  • Some people are motivated by the carrot.

  • Some have both.

  • What drives you right now?

  • I probably would love to say that it's just carrot, but the stick drives me more than anything.

  • What does that mean for people?

  • Like the stick is like the whip or the carrot, like dangling the carrot.

  • So for example, so I'm going to go back and remind me,

  • I want to tell you something about my dad, but let 's talk about that compelling future for a second, right?

  • What drives you?

  • It is purpose.

  • It is the thing that you are so great at.
