NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Eric Thomas moves, inspires, encourages, and challenges people to reach their full potential. You Owe You is flat-out brilliant, and he ain’t lied yet!”—Deion Sanders, Coach Prime
No matter your story or your struggle, Eric Thomas—celebrated motivational guru, educator, and problem-solver to many of the top athletes and business leaders—will “help you work harder, discover your real motivation, and crack the code of enduring success” (Ed Mylett, #1 bestselling author of The Power of One More)
If you feel like success is for others, that only certain people get to have their dreams fulfilled, Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call. His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America.
Once he was able to break free from thinking of himself as a victim and truly understand his strengths, he switched the script. And now, with this book, Thomas reveals how you, too, can rewrite your life's script. With support, he recognized that his unique gift is being able to capture the attention of all kinds of people in all kinds of settings—boardrooms, locker rooms, churches, classrooms, even the streets—thanks to his wealth of experiences and command of language. Today, Thomas considers himself blessed to speak to an audience that is as large as it is diverse, from the rich and famous to kids struggling in school to young men in prison hoping for a new start.
Thomas’s secrets of success have already helped hundreds of thousands on their journey, but this is his first guide to show you how to start today, right now. These critical first steps include deeply understanding yourself and the world around you, finding your why, accepting that you may have to give up something good for something great, and constantly stretching toward your potential. No matter where you are on your journey toward greatness, you owe it to yourself to become fully, authentically you. And Eric Thomas’s You Owe You can help get you there.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Eric Thomas’ motivational guide You Owe You, everyone’s greatest sin is unrealized potential. The renowned “Hip-Hop Preacher” wants you to become the CEO of your life by refining, marketing, and selling your talents. In other words: Find your passion, and cultivate it relentlessly. He reinforces all his teachings with personal anecdotes that illustrate that he’s not just talking—he lives what he preaches. When he writes about “miracle territory,” he’s referring not to heavenly intervention, but continuously being in a position to take advantage of opportunities. Thomas might be the king of networking, extolling the need to keep turning new connections into new opportunities. (After he made an unscheduled appearance at one event after another engagement was canceled, a chance meeting led to his current business partnership.) You Owe You is a powerful reminder that we all have gifts—but what we do with them is up to us.

Amazing
This book has forever changed my life. I feel extremely motivated to become what I have always dreamed of. Thank you ET for this book
Biggest Tool I’m harnessing for me
I put this book off for some time of finishing , I wrote some better words but it got deleted when I was trying to submit so let’s give this a second try, and simplify my enthusiasm on how this drawn me not by ET not by the title of the book maybe a little bit of the title but by the instinct my mother always told me to trust my gut always listen to ya mind. I’m happy I did I’m happy I was able to meet ET through these pages. I’m happy I grabbed the this tool he placed in these pages to forward my legacy so I can grasp my dreams . Things and the stories I harness it pulled me in sometimes to relive the moments through these pages on how strong I’ve come in the life . Like how there is no copyright on music, there is no copyright on my life. And what I make of it is my responsibility my Google search when you ready to hit the bottom and the name Franklin Rodriguez pulls up. Not for the fame of social media that alone is a shared tool . Just not who I’m gonna become and how exciting it’s gonna be to celebrate me of being me actualizing myself. God blessed me with this tool as he blessed me to be a first time dad at the age of 30. Being the only son and first example for my two sisters for my mother how a man is taking care of business. Still high obstacles I will over come. Yes being financially stable has been my biggest hutch back then Notre Dame lol but ET also expressed staying Centered through what shall be in person possession and spending time on themselves financially it’s going to come. Develop and pursue it knowing the pain is coming with it. Being Great and being comfortable being great is my testimony thus it gets hard doing it alone and at times feel whole heartedly I am God pulls me back into reality with the gifts . Especially when I’m honest with myself and who and what I’m poring into for Franklin Rodriguez legacy. THANK YOU FOR THIS TOOL ET.
