"Energy flows where intention goes, not where to-do lists go, not where I need to be productive goes, but the energy goes from the intention." - Lewis Howes

Lewis discovered something that changed everything about how he approaches each day - and it wasn't another productivity hack or morning routine. Twelve and a half years ago, when he launched The School of Greatness podcast with zero broadcasting experience and no idea what he was doing, he had something more powerful than skills or equipment: a crystal-clear intention. Not a goal to hit certain download numbers or build a platform, but an intention to create the school he wished he'd had growing up - one that taught real-life lessons about money, relationships, emotions, and health that traditional education never covered. That intention, born from his own struggles and gaps in learning, became the foundation for everything that followed.

This isn't about setting goals or grinding through to-do lists - it's about identifying what you've been lacking in your life and intentionally stepping into that energy. Feel disconnected? Set an intention to be connected. Missing joy? Choose to be playful. Lacking gratitude? Decide to live from appreciation, even when someone cuts you off in traffic. When you shift from reacting to your circumstances to living from intention, doors open in ways you never expected. People are drawn to your energy, opportunities appear, and you start manifesting from a place of authentic being rather than desperate doing.
