[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

I appreciate it

[@shekitty9347]

Hey thank you for this video 😊

[@lisabarder5402]

Yes!

[@blsphd1998]

I loved this interview. This woman is a champion and her words have wisdom and weight. What makes her different from many of your other guests is that we can actually verify her track record. There are guests who appear on this podcast hyping books and selling their philosophies which often sound like a remix of past generations of motivational “ coaches”. Venus Williams is the real deal.I wish you would have more champions on from the sports world who share their ideas about creating the right mindset. Learning how to adapt the right mindset, learning to believe in yourself and learning the right perspective to deal with failure is the foundation of realizing any goal or desire. I’d love to hear from more champions to reinforce these pillars of achievement.

[@curly902]

Why do you bring the Rich on. Bring someone on and change there life be the first. There's people that really need advice and help. I guess it's the trend. Be glad when someone do. I need to make it happen. I have the best following because I be having people on that's in my comments. Watch me. Not mad. Just seems nobody doing that

[@lisabarder5402]

Venus Williams is a clear example of what one can achieve when raised by a loving, spiritual, and supportive family that works hard to achieve great triumphs.

[@micachan3674]

Venus Williams is truly inspirational not just as an athlete but also as a human being. “You have to train to be strong mentally.” I love this quote!

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Absolutely! Training your mind is key to achieving success, confidence, and fulfillment. It's all about developing a positive mindset, setting goals, and staying focused. Taking care of your mental well-being through practices like meditation, positive affirmations, and self-reflection can make a big difference. Remember, it's not just about physical training, but also about nurturing your mind and beliefs. Keep pushing yourself and believing in your abilities! You've got this! 💪😊

[@muma6559]

Having a dad's backing is #1 confidence, self esteem, self worth and dignity in oneself, for sure. Venus had her dad's 100% support. That's it. The world can fall apart around you, but a dad's mighty hand holding you will carry you through. All the single mom's who take their children away from their dad unjustifiably ought to be ashamed of themselves. Every child needs a dad.

[@freeflow2]

Venus William has always been a hero to me - she has dealt with the hardest things in life and has such class and dignity, power and strength.

[@katyreid8228]

This is really powerful discussion. “Keep training your mind.”

[@pastarzzoto]

Sports can really teach you a lot on self-awareness as you learn how to handle both wins and losses. It’s a constant reminder that there’s always room for improvement in areas where you may lack in. You understand what you’re good at and what you’re not.

[@Simple.evolution]

That brought a smile to my face hearing she never struggled with that and saying how her parents shaped her world view for the better :) a relief! Good parents & childhoods exist!

[@lewishowes]

🙏🙏

[@HydroponicResources]

So true 🤩

[@taushalarsen1340]

I feel this for my 16 year old girl! I think they need reassurance. Sometimes even parents can be the worst critics of their own kids so just being sensitive and assure others to help build confidence.

[@classicalperformances8777]

So glad you do this for your girl. I m a grown up now still carrying with me the sadness of my parents rejecting m3 for following my vocation. I mean it s hard out there, even without the constant curses and judgement.

[@ghsm_orl]

Venus embodies so much to inspire to. Appreciate her insights about the mental game and significance of self-awareness. Kudos for all her efforts to encourage staying in sports. Her truths of having fun, betting on yourself and giving more than you take combined with her comments about greatness, the effort you give and your life is your soundtrack. Simply the best. Thank you.

[@susanakaan810]

"Walk slowly, think slowly: this can be done in a minute", YES. The process is where the joy is..

[@kandiblick3822]

I LOVE this...Venus' explanation is so concise and easy to understand. So motivating! Thank you for this episode and ALL of your awesome content ❤

[@debbie678]

Great, motivational speaker!! I will save this to listen to again.

[@rosnahiasservices9378]

A strong support system is important and have fun in what you're doing so you don't feel pressured. Expectations and be hard on yourself to achieve results.

[@adrianaugaldepartida1813]

She’s a beautiful person inside and out I love everything she has done with her life . I love that’s she’s an inspiration for ppl that come from. ❤I will always teach myself and my children about her!

[@lewishowes]

Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂

[@chrisjohnson4039]

I'm glad Richard Williams trained his daughters instead of going through a tennis academy. There's more than one way to the top.

[@ExecutiveZombie]

Discipline is the way a man fully respects a woman. Vice Versus for men también…..☀️💪🏽😎

[@lauralyons3825]

I'm a workforce 💪🏾 Sometimes you need to be ok with not knowing but knowing that you have to get there, You have to do it in your own terms!

[@sisisisi6]

I’m loving these episodes featuring inspiring Black Women. Thank you for being well rounded and covering variety of inspiring humans.

[@leadgenjay]

It's crucial to recognize the long-term benefits of nurturing confidence from a young age.

[@gsmith6733]

Absolutely love the candidness of this interview. Lewis thanks for asking the pertinent questions. Venus thank you for sharing your heartfelt honesty. Have Fun! Bet on Yourself! Give More than You Take! "Greatness is about the effort you give." 🧡🙏🏽💖

[@jacobr4558]

Self belief helps when you lack confidence in your skills. Then once your skills level up AMD you have self belief then you are unstoppable.

[@adrianaforex]

Principles of success: 🔅PREPARATION. 🔆What are your strengths, and set up your play to work around your strengths. 🔅 Work on your weaknesses over time. Failures are lessons, learn from it. It’s still a STEP UP. 🔆 Journal your thoughts to improve your EQ and stay on the real world instead of anticipating negative outcomes.

[@porichechannel]

When you know from a young age growing up you are not the it girl, Americas sweetheart or whatever and you have parents who understand this... And they keep giving you the mantra, daily motivation, the positive affirmations because everybody in the household understand the bluebrint stays the blue print.. you are a beast when it comes to mental health and when the mind is in shape all else will have to follow.❤

[@dakine4238]

[@lewishowes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@izzoaum]

"You cannot teach what you learn from sports." So true. I'm an actor, but I played football in high school. Sports taught me that I can accomplish anything if I persevere. Acting has made me a better human being. The combination has made it possible to make a career in this extremely difficult profession.

[@OrealeXO]

I’ve always looked up Venus Williams

[@culturadelhierro6462]

Venus Williams teaches us that the principles behind success, and those draw from the capacity to get on with life instead of overthinking sabotaging suppositions and holding on to things that did not go as expected, and action; steady, massive tons of action in the pursue of a clear objective!

[@lewishowes]
