Lewis Howes talks with someone who grew up poor and became obsessed with making money. They never expected handouts but insisted on being paid what they're worth, believing hard work guarantees compensation.
Do you feel like you were destined to be wealthy?
I mean, it would've been a hard life to live in the way that I wanted to if I wasn't. Let's be fair. I think I didn't enjoy being poor. I remember a time when all I wanted was to order something from the menu and not look at the price. You know, like that feeling. I just wanted to be able to like, 100%. I'll have the burger and the foie gras and a glass of champagne, please, and not worry. And that took a really long time. I think that I was destined to, I was destined to be successful, and I have always been focused on making money. Yes. I always put money in the centre of my plans. I never imagined it would find me because I didn't know anybody that that happened to. And I never was shy about asking for what I am worth. Because I have audacity and I have a work ethic that matches it. And so I wasn't expecting anyone to come to me and be like, here you go, dear. But by the same token, I was like, if I work like this, you better be ready to pay me. Do you know what I mean? I was like, and I'm gonna take it.
