Key Takeaways from the Summit of Greatness Part 1

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to spend two full days at the Summit of Greatness, a personal development event hosted by Lewis Howes, the creator of the popular podcast The School of Greatness. The event was packed with TEDx speakers, bestselling authors, thought leaders, singers, rappers, and an array of other talented artists who showcased their skills and wisdom.

I left the event feeling deeply inspired and energized, and I wanted to share some of my key takeaways with you so you can get your own dose of inspiration:

From Lewis Howes:

After 6 years of his big event being in Columbus, Ohio he made a bold leap and moved it to Los Angeles and had to make some major changes to it, so he talked about how

-With change comes challenges but also an opportunity for growth and abundance!

-Having the right community really matters

-Gratitude is the gateway to abundance

-Play is the pathway to freedom

-Speak your dream into existence

-We often live in chronic disbelief and create from lack

-Trying is when we are in lack

-Greatness is when we show up to be the creator even when we don’t feel like it

-Remember your future, attach a high emotion to a dream and spend time feeling it ahead of time as if it already happened

“Parenting is the fast path to enlightenment”

-You are paid exactly as much as the problems you solve

-You can work for someone else and have a capped amount of money you can earn and the implement your ideas, or you implement your own ideas inside your own business with no cap on earning potential

“Your lack of action is your biggest competitor”!!!!

-How to stay poor: never take risks

-”The one who gets more is the one who gives”

-”Before you save the world, clean your room”

Next week, I'll dive deeper into some of my notes from incredible speakers like Rory Vaden, Muniba Mazari, Esther Perel, and David Goggins. If you ever have the opportunity to dedicate a day or two to your own personal growth, I highly encourage you to take it.
