How Lewis Howes Went from Living on a Sister's Couch to Earning $1M in 2 Years

Here is the link.

I started to learn Lewis Howes from his interview with Sharapova. And I like to continue to look into his net worth, how he makes himself success in the interview business.

Upon returning home and relentlessly campaigning his parents, Howes attended the boarding school for 8th grade (where he tested at a 2nd grade reading level) and excelled at football. "I was never the biggest, fastest or strongest, or best athlete on any team I've been on. But I was always willing to sacrifice more pain to make the plays," Howes says today. " That was my gift: I was willing do whatever it took to make it happen. It came from feeling all alone as a kid -- I felt I had nothing to lose."

When Howes broke his wrist in 2007, his bank account was also broke. He moved in with his sister in Ohio, went through rehab for 1.5 years and found himself with few professional job skills at the height of the 2008-2009 recession.

Two years ago, Howes sold his education company to his partner and launched his podcast, School of Greatness, which aims to help people make a living doing what they love. The podcast has been downloaded 5 million times and consistently ranks in the Top 5 on iTunes. This month Howes is launching Greatness Magazine on iTunes, and has signed with Rodale a book contract for a title based on the same concepts that have helped him find his own success.

The keys to Howes's success:

1. Set your goals high. Howes set out to play professional football. Then make the Olympic handball team. Then build a million-dollar business. He did all three.

2. Surround yourself with greatness. Early on Howes counted as mentor Stuart Jenkins of Deckers, and later went on to network with greats in the digital marketing world, including Chris Brogan, Marie Forleo and Gary Vaynerchuk. "You are the sum of the people you spend time with," Howes says.

3. Go all in. In the past four years, training as a handball athlete, Howes has suffered two torn groins, internal throat bleeding a sprained ankle and other serious injuries.  "When I have a vision, my fear is not failing at it, I'm more afraid of not taking on the new challenge and regretting it."
