Lewis Howes is great.

He has achieved Olympic level successful in many areas of his life and today with the launch of his brand new book, The School of Greatness, he adds Bestselling Author to the list.

On this episode, I ask Lewis what it takes to be great. Without hesitation, Lewis says that it all starts with a vision.

You have to visualize what it is you really want. You have to dream it.

Lewis says that before you can achieve greatness and success you have to understand what greatness and success looks like for you.

Take a notepad and a pen, go out into nature, lay there in silence and write down what your perfect day would look like.

Lewis says that everyone faces some type adversity in their life, but the ones who achieve greatness figure out a way to use the adversity to their advantage.

We discuss some amazing examples of people who have achieved greatness after adversity, like Kyle Maynard.

I hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as I did.

I know you can be great.
