Do I need to stay in fear? Can I move forward? This setback happened, what do we need to do? How do I need to take care of myself so that I can continue to do the things that move me forward, move the business forward, move the family forward? Gotcha, makes sense. So yeah. 100%. Yeah, so the first one, you know, resilience starts with purpose, not hustle. Second is, you know, again, dealing with burnout, you can't be the only engine. So if your team needs you to push every inch forward, that's not leadership. That's liability. And so having a resilient operating system, having resilience isn't really about doing more. It's about designing things better. And it starts with stepping out of the hero seat. Stop trying to be the hero all the time.
