After his first dream-job fell through, Howes found himself broke and without a college degree. Now he is a successful entrepreneur. So how did he do it?
Not many people think a broken wrist is the key to starting a million-dollar business career, but for Lewis Howes, that was the case.
After his career as a professional American Football player was sidetracked by the injury, Howes was forced into entrepreneurship almost as a necessity. With no college degree, no money and living with his sister, Howes decided starting his own thing was the best way forward.
Fast forward a few years and Howes is the author of School of Greatness and was honored by former US President Barack Obama as one of the Top 100 entrepreneurs under the age of 30 in America.
