If you never dream, you will never know the endless possibilities of what you can become. So if you haven't dreamed in a while, you know where it's a good place to start? Go all the way back to the day you made the decision to be a business owner, to go work for 70, 80 hours a week for yourself so you can avoid working 40 hours a week for somebody else. You realize we're weird, right? You got to use your weirdness, that power that you had, that confidence that you had in yourself yourself and in your ability to be a producer drove you to take on the risk and the liability to say, I'm gonna take a shot. I'm gonna take a shot at creating life on my terms. When was the last time you thought about it? When was the last time that you sat down and you said, wow, what could this really be? I don't think we do it enough.
