INTRODUCTION FROM SOLID To be successful in life, I have learned that you have to put first things first, but today’s popular culture has it backwards. • You can’t find your passion until you develop your work ethic. • You can’t find your purpose until you discover who you are. • You can’t find your happiness until you find your talent and help others. • You can’t find success until you earn it. What we need today, probably more than ever, is a return to the fundamentals of building a good life—one that is full of goodness, success, and even happiness. And it’s not really that complicated. SOLID GROUND presents a model for success that has worked for centuries—and it will work today. If you are willing to put in the time and effort to invest in your future, this book is for you.

A must read for people who want a toolkit to create, lead, and sustain a successful life.
Tied with Tiny Habits as my favorite book in 2020. Concise, insightful, and actionable practices from an executive, founder, mentor, investor, community builder, family man, and team player who continues to lead by example to this day. Solid Ground is a book I keep on my desk to reference for advice, inspiration, and character building; it's a window into the Lewis' family values, principles, and frameworks that help you define what success means to you, design personal habits that help you harness and direct your energy toward this, as well as chart your own course toward not only designing the sustainable life you want, but also applying yourself to lead as your conscious best-self everyday. Read this book if you want to more effectively design, lead, and sustain a lifestyle of dreaming big, working hard, smiling always, and making your dreams a reality.

This book was so much better than I expected. Lewis was thoughtful and you could tell he really put a lot of time and effort into writing this book. If I could have given this a 4.5 I would have. My only quibbles would be that he quoted himself multiple times which was a little off-putting. I also felt like like he began to repeat himself towards the end a little. Other than those two things it was great. I would recommend to any one who is interested in a self-help book and is business minded.
