Living a Comfortable Life Killed You by Tomas Veres │ Spoken Word

“WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG DREAM, LIFE IS GOING TO CHALLENGE YOU.”

I am so excited to share something really big with you. It’s something I’ve been working on for a long time now. 

I have a new Facebook Watch show that’s available to view now: Inspiring Life with Lewis Howes.

This is something I created for you. I wanted to help improve the lives of 100 million people. In order to do so I knew I needed to team up with one of the biggest networks to make it happen.

By that I don’t mean a traditional network that’s burning out, like one on TV. I meant the next big network.

That’s why I teamed up with Facebook to make this happen. They have more users than any other network, and I knew I could be on the forefront of something truly special.

On top of it all, I have something exciting that can directly affect you personally. I’m having a contest for you to come out and hang with me in LA.

That’s right, I’m looking to have 5 lucky viewers come out to LA to hang out with me. I’m going to pay for your flight, I’m going to pay for your hotel room. On top of that, you’ll be on the School of Greatness. You’ll have lunch with me and a very special guest (who will remain nameless for now). 

I’m not stopping there either.

You’ll also get two free tickets to the Summit of Greatness (which isn’t cheap) and a School of Greatness Grab Bag, which will come with some of my favorite products and goodies. Plus, more bonuses and surprises.

Honestly, I don’t know exactly how much this all comes to but I know it’s a value of thousands of dollars to five lucky guests. 

So listen to this episode to hear the 4 simple steps it takes to win all of these prizes, and I’ll give you some behind the scene details on what my show is, how I made it, and everything it took to get it started.

Behind the Scenes of My Talk Show Launch

"YOU HAVE TO TRY BEFORE YOU CAN QUIT."

When Leslie started, his only dream was to be in Rent. When he made it, he was left to find a new dream. He struggled for a long time not finding any work.

One day his eyes were opened by a mentor as to what he was doing wrong. He wasn’t respecting his industry.

He had to show the universe what he wanted. He started taking beginner acting classes, and really researching every brand, role, producer, writer, etc before going out for an audition.

The moment he made this mind shift, the universe responded and he was booked non stop for six years. 

Amazing.

You really need to learn from his wisdom on this one.

So, learn how to combat your fear of failure, mentally prepare for huge opportunity, and how to be an advocate for yourself, on Episode 677.
