7 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
What was your perception of money before you started to make it versus when you started to make it?
Well, I grew up in a super waspy household.
So, you know, we don't discuss money like it's, you know, dirty and uncouth.
Never learned anything about it at all and no education around it.
Oh, no.
Oh my god.
No like nothing and and so when I So I was very of the mind that it wasn't cool to want to make money You know the unholy dollar
like I was a rock and roller so I was like more about the art and You're not gonna sell yourself out Exactly selling out like what a concept selling out basically means you're getting paid
for doing what you love like why is that so bad right and then the whole starving artists crap and all that stuff Yeah,
and that rich people sucked, and I was too cool to focus on money.
I also believed I sucked at making it, which was the truth.
I also had a weird feeling that, like, it was almost like a different species.
It's almost like me, there's me, and then there's grown-ups, right?
And I felt that way about money, too.
Like, there's me, and there's people who actually make, like,
real money and have big houses and fancy cars and, like, do stuff.
Like, but I was like the child version of that.
You know, always sitting at the kid table financially.
And so it was a total identity shift that I had to go through where it was like that I could open myself up to like being somebody who could receive that kind of wealth.
