I remember a colleague of mine in the industry had made a statement to me a few months ago that, you know, when it comes to referring business towards me, potential advisors that could, could, could use my coaching, he said, you know, he has received comments from people that from time to time, Andy, you know, some people, like, think you're too aggressive, too energetic, too intense. And I said, I get it. I absolutely understand. But that's who I am. That's how I coach. I get fired up. I want to help my clients win and I want to motivate them, you know, call it that proverbial light that fire under their ass so they can take the action they need to win. And I, at the end of the day, I know that as a result of that, I am not a fit for everybody. And that's the advice I want to give you today, is whether, you know, you're trying to find your tribe of people who you're going to surround yourself with in, in your life, whether you're finding, trying to find the tribe of people you're going to surround yourself in business or you're trying to target, you know, your prospects that you want to buy from you eventually. You have to understand that you are not going to be a fit for everybody. You cannot be all things to all people, nor do you want to be all things to all people.
