On progress: doesn't always happen in one direction. Counter-intuitive advice that turns a lot of traditional advice on its head.

Practice sleep deprivation: I always toss and turn before an early ride or race because I stress that I'm not gonna get enough sleep. I neurotically count down the hours, "If I sleep now, I'll have 5 hours of sleep. If I sleep now, I'll have 4 hours of sleep." How about being OK with the fact that I will not always have a solid 8? Sounds good to me.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE. We all have greatness inside us. That’s the whole reason I started this podcast. So why do we make ourselves smaller to fit in with everyone else? Why do we hide? Why do we make excuses? Why do we let others dim our light? By denying our destiny, we create disease, conflict, and unhappiness. Shine your light. It’s not always easy. When you embrace your greatness, others will attack you. You’re challenging their “paradigm.” DO IT ANYWAYS. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’ve combined key lessons from Teachers of The Secret: Michael Beckwith, Lisa Nichols, Jack Canfield, John Assaraf, and Bob Proctor. Michael Beckwith, Lisa Nichols, Jack Canfield, John Assaraf, and Bob Proctor are all featured in the book and movie The Secret. Michael Beckwith is a minister, author, and founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center, a New Thought church with a congregation estimated in excess of 8,000 members.  Lisa Nichols is a hugely successful entrepreneur, life coach, and CEO of one of the first publicly traded self-development companies. Jack Canfield is the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, which has more than 250 titles and 500 million copies in print in over 40 languages. John Assaraf is founder of NeuroGym, has built 5 multimillion dollar companies, wrote 2 New York Times Bestselling books and is featured in 8 movies.  Bob Proctor is the best-selling author of “You Were Born Rich” and has transformed the lives of millions through his books, seminars, and courses. These teachers help us to use visualization to tell The Universe what we want. It’s not difficult, but it’s a skill many of us have never been taught. So get ready to learn how to master the Law of Attraction on Episode 836. Some Questions I Ask:
How do you deal with people trying to dim your light? (07:15)
What are you most proud of? (10:00)
Is there ever a place for anger? (12:00)
How does someone discover their unique calling? (15:00)

The Secret of The Law of Attraction

NOTHING SHOULD STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR STORY. We've had some pretty amazing women on The School of Greatness. I've learned a lot from each of them. In fact, I learn a lot from all the women around me (almost my whole team is women). Today's guest is no exception. Male, female, old, young - we could all learn from this incredible businessperson. Not only is she the youngest self-made female billionaire in America (wow, right??), she is also the mother of four young kids, the wife of another podcast guest, Jesse Itzler, and the founder and CEO of the massively popular women's apparel brand SPANX. In this episode, I got to sit with and learn from a legend among entrepreneurs: Sara Blakely. During this interview, I kept finding out new things to admire Sara for. She struggled a lot in school (me too!). She sold fax machines door to door FOR 7 YEARS before she had the idea for Spanx. She was rejected by every manufacturing company she took her idea to. But she didn't let any of that stop her. Sara's hustle and can-do attitude is just one thing I learned about her in this interview. We dive into dealing with grief, how to scale companies the right way, what it's like to be mentored by Richard Branson, and much more. Welcome to an inspiring interview with a powerhouse in Episode 893.

Some Questions I Ask: 
How did you meet your husband Jesse? (30:12)
How do you stay so grounded and calm with everything you have going on? (32:00)
What did you learn from being mentored by Richard Branson? (44:47)
What is more challenging for you – running a billion-dollar brand or being a mom? (49:46)

In This Episode You Will Learn:
What happened in Sara’s life to prepare her for entrepreneurship before she had her big idea (7:12)
The list of possible product names Sara considered before she decided on Spanx (11:46)
The hardest part of getting her company off the ground (15:55)
How Sara guerrilla-marketed her first order of Spanx in Neiman Marcus (20:01)
Why being kind to yourself is so important (32:15)
How Sara got Warren Buffet to paint his belly for her new book (36:32)
What grief and loss can teach us (43:01)
Plus much more…

Sara Blakely: SPANX CEO on Writing Your Billion Dollar Story

NEW DECADE, NEW SLEEP GOALS. So often we glorify not getting enough sleep. We brag about pulling an all-nighter. We “grind” or wake up at the crack of dawn. Some of us think that staying up is helping us achieve our dreams. But sleep is key to our mental and physical health. It even keeps us young. So why do so many of us put quality sleep on the back burner? On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about sleep with a bestselling author on the subject: Shawn Stevenson. Shawn Stevenson is an author of “Sleep Smarter” and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the #1 Health podcast in the country on iTunes. A graduate of The University of Missouri - St. Louis, Shawn studied business, biology and kinesiology, and went on to be the founder of Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, a company that provides wellness services for individuals and organizations worldwide. Shawn says that often we look at sleep as something we should sacrifice to be more present for other people and our goals. But the word sacrifice actually means “to make sacred.” We need to make sleep a sacred practice that heals our body and mind.

So get ready to learn how and why you should have more restful sleep on Episode 896.

The Science of Sleep for Ultimate Success with Shawn Stevenson

I am channeling my inner motivational powerhouse today on The School of Greatness.

For this 5 Minute Friday, I’m speaking straight from the heart.

Dream and Do

Being laughed at or criticized or misunderstood is the price of leaving the herd and producing your magic.

Anything original will disrupt the normal. And so those who feel threatened will find it easier to throw stones at you than send appreciation to you.

It’s easier to shoot the messenger than embrace a revolutionary message, isn’t it.

And so, I’ve made a hot new Mastery Session walking you through The Troll Deconstruction that will teach you some powerful tactics to handle any haters that try to limit your performance.

HOW I HANDLE HATERS

Lewis Howes is a NYT bestselling author, Lifestyle Entrepreneur, former pro athlete and world record holder in football.
