Eric Thomas is one of the most sought after motivational speakers out there––I mean, he is up there with Tony Robbins––so Lori and I are thrilled to speak with him today. Eric was homeless for two years of his life, during which time he realized he needed to stop putting what he wants in the hands of others, and take ownership to achieve his dreams. He shares about what he feels his mission is today and who he is here to serve, what he recommends you do when you’re feeling stuck and the most stand-out lessons for readers to take away from his book, You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why. Our favorite thing Eric touches on, however, are his thoughts on combining average skills with phenomenal will.   Lori and I are giving away a copy of Eric’s book to the first 50 listeners who tag Eric (@etthehiphoppreacher), Lori (@loriharder) and myself (@chriswharder) on Instagram sharing their biggest breakthrough from the episode.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to shift your belief system to see disadvantages as advantages Eric’s tips for people who are feeling uneasy about the future of the economy How to own what you want in life Which audiences Eric feels are the most important to speak to right now Why it’s important to lead your life as our authentic self How Eric uses faith when he feels at his lowest   RESOURCES Get FREE access to “How to Win Clients on Upwork in 5 Simple Steps” ($47 value) at thegig.io/vip.  If you’re going to make more than $500,000 next year, apply for next year's Elite Mastermind at chrisharder.me/mastermind.  Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Me: @chriswharder Visit My Website: https://chrisharder.me    CONNECT WITH ERIC THOMAS  Purchase his book, You Owe You Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/etthehiphoppreacher Watch on Youtube: youtube.com/c/etthehiphoppreacher Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/Ericthomasbtc Like on Facebook: facebook.com/etthehiphoppreacher
