And it really got me thinking. Yeah. What is the effort that I am putting into every single hour of my day when I'm in my business Monday through Friday? And I think a lot of people in our world get so caught up in this badge of honor that I work 12 to 14 hours today, or I put in 17, and I'm traveling from here to there and everywhere. It is not about the hours you put in. It's about the effort you put into the hours. I would much rather have somebody in my business who absolutely kicks ass every minute they work and they work four hours a day than. Than the person who half asses it and shows up first at the office and leaves last when everybody else leaves.
