The most successful people I've ever sat across from are not more confident than you. Most of them are just as scared.

The difference is what they do when the fear shows up.

You tell yourself you need more information. You need to think about it a little longer. You need to do more research. You need to get organized. You need to feel ready.

But sometimes the problem isn't that you don't know where to start.

Sometimes you know exactly where to start.

You're just terrified that when you do... you're going to find out you're not good enough.

I've spent years interviewing some of the most successful people in the world.

If there's one thing I've learned from watching people perform at the highest level...

The work starts long before anyone can see it.

Check out my latest episode on how to take action on your goals, even when you don't feel ready.

As Codie Sanchez met wealthy individuals, she realized they don't work that much harder than the average person.

They focus instead on making better decisions, having better leverage, and creating better narratives that they repeat to themselves.

This felt true for me because when I was working longer and longer hours in the early years of my business, I eventually hit a breaking point. I was exhausted. I felt drained. I realized, “I can't keep doing this. I need systems. I need a team."

So if working harder isn't the answer, how do you shift out of that mindset?

1: Know what you want

Codie says that you need to know what you want.

"Do you wanna make a ton of money? Do you wanna make a ton of impact? Do you want to just build something and then sell it right away? There are no wrong answers."

For me, that meant saying, "I'm stopping everything that isn’t The School of Greatness podcast because that is bringing me the most joy, the most fulfillment, the most impact, and the most income."

Step 2: Know who you are

She says you then need to clarify your strengths and weaknesses.

“What are you good at?"

Be very honest here. Once you know who you are, the next step becomes easier.

Step 3: Find what's missing

"What processes and people are missing in your career, business, or life?"

We need people and systems to counter our weaknesses, rather than thinking we can handle everything ourselves.

Do you need someone to help you with accounting, project management, or marketing?

When you create space to build better processes and bring in the right team for your business and life, you will realize how much you've been holding yourself back.

You are capable of building more, earning more, and achieving more, but it’s likely not in the way you’ve currently been pursuing.

Listen to the full episode with Codie Sanchez.

There are signs that show up in our lives that signal you’re building wealth before the money actually shows up.

One of the first is that you change the way you talk about money.

A lot of people will look at someone successful and think:

“That must be nice.”

“He probably inherited that money.”

“They probably did something shady to get that money.”

“I could never do what they did.”

Personally, I used to get jealous and insecure when someone was “ahead” of me in life. I would look at them and think, “Why are they achieving that and I’m not?”

This energy kept me stuck in judgment and comparison, and it made me feel like I wasn’t enough. It never served me.

Each of these reactions feels harmless in the moment, but your mind listens more closely than you realize.

Your subconscious mind, your nervous system, and your body will never let you become the thing you speak negatively about. It will protect you from turning into the person you just insulted.

The shift you need to make is when you see someone achieving what you want, let the first thing out of your mouth not be judgment. Let it be a question.

“How did they do that? Who did they have to become in order to create that? What do they know that I don’t know yet?”

Once you start asking how, you stop competing with them or judging them. You start learning from them.

I’ve asked hundreds of people who have built incredible wealth about the year everything changed for them, and they barely ever point to one deal, one job, one big launch, or one big exit.

They point to a stretch where they start thinking differently about what they’re worth.

Listen to the full episode on the 7 signs you'll see on your way to building wealth.

Hope you have an amazing weekend,

Lewis
