Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video (created/uploaded by Andy Neary) in which two speakers discuss the sacrifices required to reach the next level of success. Core claims: you must be willing to give things up (hobbies, time, personal investing) or delegate (financial advisor, executive assistant); saying "no" is highlighted as a key skill. Anecdotal evidence: one speaker stopped playing golf after the birth of a third child to focus on a growing book of business; the exchange is informal and includes humor.

When you expect your boss to invest in for you, you're not bought in.
Yeah.
I totally agree. And. And you mentioned to you gave something up. You know, you gave up your book. There's things you have to give up if you want to go to the next level than anything you do.
You know, I talked about on my podcast your ability to say no.
Your ability to say no. I remember I gave up. I had my third child. I was still trying to, you know, when I say I had my third child, my wife, you know, had the child. But we, we had the book of business was growing third child and some had to give. I gave up golf.
I was say. I, I thought you were about to say I gave up my third child. No, I wouldn't give her up.
I give up the second one maybe.
But.
But no. Yeah. So you got to give whether it's, you know, you give your money to a financial advisor, you just give up trying to invest yourself and trade stocks, whether you're hiring an assistant, an executive assistant for your house or for your for your family, or you give up golf or a hobby. If you give something up and you deepen your. Why always that's when you level up.
