"Chasing money while neglecting your health makes you broke twice, once in your body and again in your bank account." - Lewis Howes

Lewis believes most people start their day backwards. They wake up, grab their phone, dive into chaos, and wonder why money feels so hard to create. He's found that one tiny act changes everything: making your bed before touching anything else. Not perfectly ironed sheets, just smoothing things out while saying, "I create order, and because I create order, I create wealth." It sounds almost too simple, but Lewis explains how this two-minute ritual restructures your entire nervous system. When you live in physical clutter, your mind operates in clutter too. Your thoughts stay scattered, your cortisol stays elevated, and you make decisions from survival mode instead of abundance. That first act of creating order signals something different to your brain. You start your day having already won something small, and that momentum carries into every choice that follows.

The second piece Lewis hammers home is even more confronting: your body is your wealth engine, and if you're running on empty, money won't stick to you. He talks about meeting people who are vibrant and alive versus those who are emotionally drained, and how opportunities literally seem to find the first group while passing by the second. When you're depleted, you can't maintain the consistency needed to build anything lasting. You become the person who starts things but can't finish them, who sees opportunities but lacks the energy to act. Lewis isn't preaching perfection or some intense morning routine that takes hours. He's pointing to something deeper: if you want different financial results, you have to create from a place of peace and clarity, not from overwhelm and stress. Make your bed, take care of your energy, and watch how differently the world responds to you.
