It's a question many of us are too afraid to answer..   "Is this as good as it gets?" Perhaps you feel that way from time to time. You get stuck in an unfulfilling job. You get stuck with a mortgage you can barely pay, in a house that didn't make you any happier than your previous home. You get stuck in a negative relationship. And you wonder if things will ever get better. James Altucher knows the feeling well. And in the latest episode of his radio show, he shows you exactly how to get "un-stuck" by making your negative life experiences work for you instead of against you. The type of unconventional ideas you'll hear on his show made James a millionaire... and many of his guests have done the same. This week's guest is no exception..  Dr. Wayne Dyer has seen plenty of obstacles in his life... but his attitude and belief in the power of self-reliance have earned him the title "father of motivation" by his fans. A hard worker since his first paper route at age 9, Dr. Dyer says, "There's never been a moment wh

You've heard the stories about college dropouts who go on to become billionaires... like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerburg... And you might even know that 20% of America's millionaires never stepped foot on a college campus. But how many guys have you heard of who read at a second grade level... yet go on to be millionaires? My guess is none... but you're about to meet one. His name is Lewis Howes, and he's this week's guest on the James Altucher Show, a radio show we recently helped to launch. Lewis Howes' story is nothing short of amazing... At age 10, he was 6'3". He described himself as a "gangly, skinny, ugly, acne kid, who couldn't read or write or do anything." In the eighth grade, he could only read at a second-grade level. He cheated on every test in high school because he says that's the only way he could pass. But Lewis' life changed dramatically after talking his way into college. He wanted to become a football player... and despite a series of major setbacks and injuries, he became a tw
