Hey, my friends, it's Brendon Burchard. Welcome back to the Brendon show and another episode of my Striving in Chaos series. How do we strive with positivity and optimism and confidence and compassion and strength through difficult times? Obviously, it has not been an easy series of weeks as we see people infected, passing away, losing jobs, trapped, fearful and in a place where sometimes those emotional ups and downs are just wrecking your day. Even if you are safe, even if you are home, even if you have a job, even if you're one of the lucky ones, how do you deal with the daily reality you have to show up, move forward, still strive for your dreams, still take care of your family, still be a compassionate, caring, generous person when it's so easy to be fearful, holed away, blocked off from the world, right? How do we deal with that? That's what this series has all been about. For those who are new, I've been doing this series called Striving in Chaos. All of the audios of how to deal with difficult emotions to, you know, how to maintain your relationships, positive relationships and positive attitude, those are all up on the Brendon show podcast today. My topic is dedication. Dedication. Listen. We are seeing this beautiful, in this, like, terrible time, we're seeing this beautiful demonstration of dedication by first line responders, by our healthcare workers, by medical personnel, by people who are out there still carrying on the weight of their shoulders, having to continue the world moving, making sure the trains, metaphorically are running, making sure that people are being taken care of, making sure that the economy is still going, making sure that they're still providing value and service to those they love, serve and lead. And right now we are seeing an incredible demonstration of that dedication. Incredible. I hope you all give high fives and rounds of applause and shout outs of appreciation every day, especially to those in healthcare right now who are carrying the brunt of this burden, who are dealing with it at levels that most of us will not, and who are ensuring that people, as many as we have, all the millions who are infected or will be, can be taken care of. It is an extraordinary dedication and you gotta go, where does that come from? You know, I know some people who can't even be dedicated to answering their email. And then you have healthcare workers going out on the front lines dealing with those who were infected every single day. What's the difference? What's the difference between people who just sit at home, complain and they're upset and other people who have the ability to go out in danger and show up courageously to serve other people. Well, listen, I don't have all the answers, but I can share with you. There's some specific things you just see. I mean, healthcare workers take an oath just by having an oath, by having clarity of mission, by having dedicated themselves to competency and mastery, to know how to help people in the first place. But then having an oath, a promise to self and a promise to society to show up and care for others in this way, you know, most people don't have an oath in their life. I mean, have you taken an oath to be a specific type of person for your family and those who you love? Have you ever written it down anywhere? An oath of dedication, an oath of excellence, an oath of discipline, an oath of health and oath of service, an oath of leadership. See, often the most extraordinary people in the world, they're extraordinary because they have clarity of service. Yeah, you think of the medical professionals and healthcare workers out there. That oath, that oath inspires the dedication. It's clarity of service. What's your service right now? Who are you going to care for? Who are you going to show up? Who are you going to not harm? Who are you going to be right now? That clarity. When you have clarity, it's easier to have dedication. When you're bored all day, you know why you're bored all day? No clarity of mission. Of course you're not dedicated and disciplined. You don't have clarity. Discipline and dedication always come after clarity. But I still say you can be dedicated right now. To show up every day for your good habits, to show up every day for those you lead. To show up every day like this. If you have a platform or a message to share with people, like, I'm dedicated. I'm here every day since this began. I doesn't always feel good, don't always want to do it. But I have to say, you know what? I dedicated myself to being available every day. Show up, Brendan. Comb your hair, shower once in a while, put a shirt on, put those lights on, talk to the people, because I love you guys. Clarity of how you want to serve and how you want to show up, that's dedication. Dedication is also doing the thing. Just do the thing, you know, just show up, answer the emails, make the calls, take care of the family, get the shopping done, show up in a dedicated way. That consistency of you being dedicated for your family by having a good, positive mindset, that means everything right now. That consistency of you doing the work, even though it'd be easier to bow out, like a lot of people do to spending all day watching television and updating themselves on the news and scrolling through social media and just taking a week or two or months long breather under the guise of the crisis. When reality is we can all practice great wellness routines, daily recovery and still do something each day to move towards our dreams or demonstrate dedication. How are you demonstrating dedication right now? That's what I really want you to think about. How are you demonstrating dedication? Like, what's it looked like this last week? What's it look like the last two weeks, three weeks, four, five, six weeks of this thing now? How have you really shown up? What have you shown like if we said, wow, this person is really dedicated, how'd that show up? I know many of you, you've been dedicated for your families and I love you for that. Many of you have been dedicated to being inspirations, voices of reason or optimism or confidence, caring and compassion. And you've shown up for your audience. You've shown up for those you lead and those that you love and those that you have the blessing of reaching. And I admire you for that and I appreciate that your dedication is needed now more than ever. What we don't need is people quitting on themselves and quitting on other people and quitting on their responsibilities, allowing low standards in their life, parading under the umbrella of crises when the truth is they're being lazy. When the truth is they've lost dedication, when the truth is they're not demanding enough of themselves. Sometimes the best way to change our lives is to expect more of ourselves. And that's hard to say because I know people say, well, Brendan, you can't expect so much from other people. Well then listen to the last episode on striving in Chaos on maintaining high standards. Because we can still maintain high standards and care for ourselves and care for our families. Because that's what high standards is. Caring for ourselves, caring for other people. That's what high standards are. You resting and recovering and taking care of yourself and your wellness practices. That is maintaining a high standard. It's dedication to your health, dedication to being a role model, dedication to doing the thing even when you don't want to do the thing. Like, listen, I've been pretty much live on multiple platforms with multiple audiences and groups every day for what, 45 days straight? There's days I don't want to, but I have clarity of mission. Right now the world needs us. Right now the world needs your guidance, your advice, your thoughts, your input, your optimism. Especially if you've been training Yourself and doing the hard work and getting ready. What are you dedicated towards right now? What are you showing? What's your dedication look like? I think that's what's most importantly. I know people out there. They're truly not just striving in the chaos. They're striving just like they have for years, but they're thriving at it because they're dedicated in their heart to something. See these healthcare workers, these medical professionals, these frontline service professionals who are literally out there every day courageously, they took an oath. What's your oath? What's your oath? Are you showing up every day for it, even when it's hard? I'll say one other thing that I've witnessed from healthcare workers and a lot of friends out there in that space. It's not just an oath to care for others. It's an oath to deliver with excellence. It's an oath to continued mastery. It's an oath to say, I will always continue my education because there's always something new to learn in healthcare, right? There's always something to learn. If you're a fire or you're a police officer, there's always something more to learn. You don't stop learning. So for those of you who stop learning in this crisis, please take some inspiration for the dedication of our frontline professionals out there who are keeping the world going. This is a great time to visit what you're really dedicated to in your life right now. Great time to really think deeply about what deserves your dedication. A great time to think about how you show up on a daily basis. A great time to challenge yourself, to strive even in chaos. I love you all and I really appreciate you guys. You know, I think that you are absolutely incredible and I admire how much you have been giving and serving and inspiring each other. I think it's really a great time to learn about yourself and. And a great time to engage in self mastery, to deepen that personal development, to ask the hard questions and to show up for yourself and your family every day. I said it from day one. We all have opportunities to be role models right now. That's pretty incredible. We have opportunities to serve in our own way. That's pretty incredible. We have opportunities to learn and really reconnect with our wellness again. I think that's a beautiful thing here for you every single day. I'd love to take any of your questions here today. I see you all. I love you too, Joel. I appreciate that. Very nice to say. Let's see, when people are saying, easy enough for you to say, Brandon, I know it's always, it's always easier said than done. That's the whole point of dedication. Listen, people have lost their job, still kept a good attitude. I know that because I coach a lot of people who've been dramatically affect who lost their businesses they spent their entire life building. Not a job they had for a while, a business they'd spent their entire life building. I have friends who've been in the hospital. I just, like many of you, have people in our circle of influence who passed away. And so what do they want of us? They want to see us carry on. They want us to see kind. They want us to appreciate life. We can all say, wow, it's easier said than done. People can just keep good attitudes. No, there are people who've had tragedy in their lives who still kept good attitudes because they chose to do the hard work, to do that. Let's see. Laia is asking, how can you be productive at home? You get your morning routine locked in. You fill out your high performance planner every single day. You schedule time in which you consume information. I only consume information twice a day for 15 minute blocks of time where I'll take on that 15 minutes to check in social media or check in the news only twice a day for 15 minutes. Scheduling, that is important. Scheduling the major activities which you need to do each day in blocks of time that you also communicate with your family. Like, Denise knows I have to do a live right now. She knows. So she knew this morning. We're like getting on the same plan and letting everyone in the household know what that plan is and trying to do that together. That means a lot. Let's see. Can you do more videos about self doubt?
Sure.
Go to my YouTube channel and check out my videos on self doubt. And also read my book, the Motivation Manifesto, an entire chapter on doubt that could really, really change your life. Let's see, let's see. How can I project what I want to say when nobody seems to be listening right now? Sitting down, scheduling it. I mean, it's just sitting down with a piece of paper. Like, think about it. If you're going to go live for the next 10 days, draw 10 boxes on a piece of paper, ask what's my topic for this day? What's my three teaching points for this topic? Be dedicated, show up and go. Thank you. Hi, Jenna. Oh, my God. Jenna, I'm gonna try to tune you in because you can always talk about this topic with people if you want to. I just see a bunch of people Going by, and I saw Jenna Kutcher, who I love and adore and hope you guys all follow. Hi. I see you guys from Turkey. Hello. Hello, hello, Hello. I see you. Thanks for tuning in. Argentina's in the house. That's awesome. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Jenna, what's up?
Hi, buddy.
Hey. Good seeing you.
This is motherhood. Covid creation.
I get it. I get it. My office right now is a disaster, and I have not yet showered today. No one's business.
That's good.
No one's business.
This is good. This is, like. I bet if there's any women on this live, they can relate.
Yes. Yes. Anyone can relate. There's lots of people just, like, trying to keep their lives together right now, trying to do things each day to move forward. I was talking about dedication today. What do you have to drop some knowledge bombs on us of how do you stay dedicated even when there's so much chaos and turbulence right now?
Yeah. So for me, I've kind of changed the way that I'm working right now. I don't know, Brendan, if you would relate. So sometimes when people talk about morning routines, as a mom, I kind of smile because I'm like, My morning routine is like, get up. Get the kid up. Everyone eats, and then we get to work. But for me, I kind of started blocking my time differently so that I have free time towards the end of the week to create what I feel like the world needs. And so I've been trying to, like, take care of priorities at the front end of the week and then feel out what time I have left. So right now I'm, like, creating Monday through Wednesday and then pausing and saying, okay, Thursday and Friday. Does the world need me to go live? Do I need to create a resource? Do I need to record a program? Do I need to jump on something with someone else? So I think I just had to change the way that I'm creating in this season so that I can be the mom, the wife, but also the leader. And it's hard to decipher what we can do right now. It's hard.
Yeah. Well, you're doing an awesome job. You are. And, you know, it's hard, but it's like, show up in service. That's the shortest answer of all time. It's like, you're showing up in service. You've already created so many amazing tools for people. You're still doing. I tell people it's like, all you have to do in hard times of difficulty is be flexible and double down on the goodness that you do. Like, I know a lot of people right now, they feel like they have to create all these new things for people. I'm like, actually, you probably have something you could just roll out again and make it available to more people. You know, we all feel like.
I think it's so important because I feel like a lot of creators right now, it's like, we're straddling this line of protecting what we've already built and, like, solidifying that foundation we've laid while also, like, timely serving. And I feel like it's really easy to get pulled in one direction or the other, and it's really hard to find that balance. And so for me, it's like, where is my time best spent right now? And part of that time is protecting what we've already worked on, building smart. And then the other part of that time is, like, how do we serve in the future? And I think I got exhausted the first week that everything kind of hit the fan because, like, we're empathetic leaders. Like, we care. We know we're not so removed from, like, not knowing if you're gonna pay your mortgage that month. And so it's really hard as an empath to navigate seasons of crisis because you're wanting to save everyone, but you also have to protect what you've built. And it's like this weird juxtaposition, you know?
Yeah, I can. I think what I've learned through a few crises is that, you know, to fight my impulse to create tons of new things, because you're adapting, and as you go to create tons of new things, you exhaust yourself creatively. And if you exhaust yourself creatively, you don't have the bandwidth and the power to be there empathetically.
Yeah.
And so what I've learned is the difference between meeting a need in the marketplace by creating new things or just create a new offer. So, like, what I did, I'm like, I. You know, I had my wellness masterclass out there, and I filmed that, like, two, three years ago, and we didn't even have it in rotation or anything. I said, okay, instead of me creating new things, let me go in my garage over here and see what assets I do have, and let me put them out in the world as a. As a new thing that meets the need right now. So sometimes repackaging will get you in the game of serving even faster.
Yeah.
And it won't wipe you out creatively.
Yeah. What would you say to all the people being like, should you be Selling in a crisis. Because I feel like that's the number one question.
Yeah.
Is people feel guilty. And I think there's certain ways to do this that can be positive. And I also think there are certain ways to do this that can come across blindly. So what would you say?
Well, I'd say that it's the same people and it's only the same people who say in general, they don't like sales and in general, they don't feel like selling, usually because selling is serving. You can't serve unless you sold what you have.
And.
And on top of that, it's like entering a recession. It's responsible to sell for your family. It doesn't matter how wealthy you already are because you don't know what's coming. Not to, like, to withdraw all your offers and all your sales activities, that's incredibly irresponsible. So what's responsible right now is be of value to people.
Yep.
And build your reserves, build your cash, build your sales, build that ability to maintain this for the long haul when we don't know how long it's going to last.
Yeah.
So I think it's. I think it's. If people can reframe it not as, you know, sales and marketing, but reframe it as terms of service and responsibility to your family, then you're back in the game. Yeah.
And I think, too, there's a way, like, to have things be invitations versus hard pitches.
Yeah.
And I think. I think the most beautiful way to navigate this season, or at least what we're trying to do, is to create the free resource that can lead into an invitation for the people that are ready. And so it's like, not this, like, hardball, hard sell, but it's also not being apologetic about selling.
Yes.
And it's like, here's this thing that can get you started, and if you're ready to keep going, here's this offer for you.
Yeah.
And it's just like reframing it. So it's like the person that can't afford it doesn't feel like they are out of luck or that they're never going to make it. But the person that's like, give me the next thing. Give me the next thing. They're ready to go. And so I think people. It's been so interesting watching this shift as people have navigated the waves, because it's like, give everything away for free. And then it's like, no, no, no, no. Sell everything. And then it's like, you know, we're finally finding Our food, putting in this season of uncertainty. And I think it just took people a little bit longer than they expected to feel comfortable living in this unknown, you know?
Yes. Yes. I think you nailed it, though. It's like, give away free stuff.
Yeah.
And then offer something. And the main thing about offering isn't necessarily my belief is, was it couched in terms of you gave tons of free stuff or things like that? It's just your job is to make things relevant.
Yeah.
And don't. The main thing is don't offer things that aren't relevant right now. That's more than anything. Everyone's so obsessed about price points. You can sell $1,000 things, $10,000 things, 1,100, just like usual. Not everyone's going to buy it.
Yeah.
So your job is. So how is this relevant and helpful to write right now? And that's why I create it and then tell people straight up, hey, if you want to access my free stuff, there's my podcast, there's my YouTube show, there's my lives on Instagram. There's four posts every day across social media for 15 years. You got a whole library of my stuff.
Yeah.
But what I need to do for my family and for my business is I need to focus on dedicated students and clients. Right now. I need to make sure I'm serving my real clients. If you want to be a client of mine, great. This is a good offer for you. Here's why. If not, please check out any of my other free stuff and show the value of becoming a client versus just a browser or consumer. That has to be part of our messaging now.
Well, I think one of the most interesting takeaways I've had about this whole thing is that especially being a mom and having a child at home and like, at first people are like, oh, my God, I have all this extra time. No, our time has never been more stressed.
Exactly.
And so it's been really eye opening to me because I'm like, our offers actually need to be so saving people time. And so when you look at, like, the long run, there are so many messages that are landing right now in crisis. You need to have an email list, you need to have an online offer, you need to have a way to digitally serve people. And now people are like, playing catch up where their time is even more limited. And they're like, give me the exact steps because I cannot YouTube the wrong YouTube video for 20 minutes and not get anywhere. And so it's been interesting because I feel like at the beginning, everyone's talking about, like, what Netflix marathons are you going to watch? And I'm like, it takes me three days to watch one hour of television. I have no time. And so it's been amazing to recognize that our offers can save people time where, yes, it's going to take you time on the front end, but in the long run, it's going to save you time. And I think that even just that switch in messaging, instead of assuming people have extra time right now, because they probably don't.
Yes.
It's instead pointing and illustrating how valuable our time is.
Yeah, I just rolled out Total Product Blueprint again to my audience, and it was just like, this is implementation. I'd only do these five things. I wouldn't mess around with anything else. And this is only a course that teaches you these five things. I think minimizing, I'm sorry, like narrowing people's focus to say, this is what's important right now. Here's step one through 10. Don't worry about anything else is really comforting for people because I agree, in our communities, we don't have a ton of people sitting around with the time to watch seven seasons of Netflix because we tend to speak to strivers, achievers, high performers, givers, servants, leaders. And when they have that. And now the kids are at home and now they're fighting to keep the business. They don't want to lay people off. They're trying to figure out how to apply for all these loans or all these, you know, recovery packages. It's like, where is the time? Every night, I'm finishing the night and I go to Nice. I go, it's 11 o'. Clock. How did that even happen?
Yeah, yeah, it's been interesting. And I just think too, it's like, I think our biggest job right now, especially as marketers, is to lead by example on how you can sell through seasons and how you can build things that can navigate these crises, but also to, like, be that example that people are looking up to. And I think for so many of us, when things hit the fan, it's like, wow, we are so fortunate to have virtual teams and virtual products, yet we're still being impacted because our customers are being impacted. Which is that extra challenge.
Yes.
Because while our businesses are foolproof in terms of being online and being able to serve even in the midst of this, our customers are hurting right now, and our clients are hurting. And so it's this beautiful dance of, like, serving and figuring out the right offer and the messaging, and it's like putting this all Together in a way that really shows, like, who leading through these troubled times. And so it's been really just eye opening. I've never gone through anything like this. I've been in business for nine years, and this is the first time I'm seeing something like this. So it's been kind of crazy.
Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot to take in. It is every single day. I've just been telling my audience, just out of everything, adopt a role model mindset, because people are watching you right now, and you will be proud of your actions or not. Not in every single moment of the day, but over a spiritual. This is span of months already, it's gonna go on more months, and you're gonna look back and be really proud of those months, or you're gonna be like, ugh, it's okay. If you fall apart in one weekend, you don't do anything. But over a span of months, if you do that, that's not coping. That's avoiding. That's hiding, and it's not responsible. When we have teams, when we have customers, when we are leaders, there's demands on ourselves to still hold a high standard and still show up, and. And people expect that, and they need that. And so I'm telling all our leaders, like, take care of yourself. Self care is everything. But don't think self care is separate than the ability to still move forward and help people every day. I think that's.
Yeah, I think it's. I think it's really a good reminder. The first week that everything hit, I was going to bed one night with Drew, and he was like, babe, you cannot pour from an empty cup, like, because I was just, like, dubious, and I, like, just was exhausted. And I think that it's time where you have to be close enough to the pain to remember what it feels like to be struggling and to really be fighting for survival, because so many people are going through that. But you also have to be able to remove yourself and be able to paint that possibility of what is possible. And I think that leaders are able to straddle that line in a really interesting way, because you need to remember where you've been, but point to where you can go. And so it's just like navigating that and seeing people navigate that has just been so inspiring. And I think so many people watching can just relate that you can go. It's like, we're grieving right now. We're grieving what our old normal was, and we're ready to pivot into the new normal. And we're not sure what that's going to look like. And nothing's going to go back to what it was. And so it's like we're just living in this friction and figuring out how to kind of create warmth for one another while we're here.
Yes, yes. And I think the most important thing is to remind people they've been through crises and they've been through before they've been through. I mean, the months they. The first months after child, the first months after they started the business, the time they lost the jobs, like, you've done so many hard things, and for the vast majority of people, being home is more challenging and is more exhausting, and yet that's a whole lot better than the alternative. And we have to be appreciative of those who out there are really being courageous when we have the opportunity to be home and be thoughtful about those who are really putting themselves on the line or those who are really losing jobs or those who are really sick or dying. Like, it's so easy to get trapped in our own. Like, oh, I didn't get to do my thing today that I usually get to do. And instead the number one thing in all of crisis is keeping perspective. Because if you can't do that, you'll be unmoored emotionally, you'll be unmoored mentally, and your mind will go all over the place if you don't keep a higher ground, a higher faith or a higher purpose or higher mission, a higher dedication, just like our healthcare workers, a higher oath. And by keeping that higher oath, that higher dedication, that higher viewpoint, because this will pass and life will go back.
Oh, yeah.
To way more normal. Maybe not exactly normal, but life is gonna go back. And so it's like, okay, great, then choose how you get to have this unsure footing, how you get to show up and how you get to feel. And I think that that message of keep perspective and have the conscious ability to choose that fits within everybody's reality right now, you know, how much time they have or not how much time they have, you know?
Yeah, well, I think too, I've been. I agree so much. I've been like, waking up and just, like, saying, like, grounding myself in the things to be true. Because I think that when we feel out of control, a lot of times it can spiral into areas of our life that we do have control over. So, like, I'm like, okay, before all this happened, what did I know to be true? I knew that, like, I have a gift to share with the world. I knew that I wanted to make a bigger impact. I knew that I wanted to show up messy and imperfectly and in the middle of things while we're figuring it out. And I know all of these things to be true. And I knew it then and I know it now. And so it's like, if we can wake up and say, like, these things have not changed. The world might change, but these things have not changed.
Yes.
Then it's like, holy cow. Like, I am, like, firm in my foundation for showing up today in my conviction. And so I just keep telling people, like, when things feel out of control, you can control your response, you can control your actions, you can control your attitude. And so those are the things that is like, we got to just, like, keep anchoring in. Like, I texted Ed Mylett today because we were talking about just wanting to be present and, like, in moments. And I told him that lately, like, when I enter a room, I just, like, stop for a second and, like, plant my feet on the ground. And I, like, just pause because I'm like. I can go from, like, CEO to mom in, like, 10 seconds, but when I do that, my brain is still in one spot, my body's in another.
Yeah.
And so I'm like, we just gotta keep. Especially when there's, like, chaos around us with kids and family and working and co. Working. It's like, plant your feet. Where are you? Be all there for that moment. If you gotta pivot, if you gotta change, you are capable of doing that. But I think it's like, we just gotta keep grounding ourselves.
I love that presence right now. Presence right now. That's the hardest thing, is to stay present with your breath. In Motivation manifesto, I chose to end that whole book with this concept called slow time.
Yeah.
And learning to slow down beats of time to two extra beats. So it's like, when you look at your spouse or your lover, just hold the gaze for two extra seconds. You know, it makes. Oh, suddenly it's romantic versus, like, glaring at somebody. You know, it's like that. Two extra minutes to two extra beats to breathe in, to ground yourself when you walk into a room.
2.
Two extra seconds before you open the laptop to go, what's my intention right now? It's like, it doesn't actually take that much to feel more grounded and centered. The difference is people think they're gonna get grounded and centered. And it's like, no, no, you do. Centered by 20 acts throughout the day.
Yeah.
20 little things of what's my intention right now? Before I Open my inbox. Or feeling the room when you walk in, or noticing your breath when you go take a walk with your spouse or your kids, or taking that. Just few. I mean, literally, it's two second beats that you keep throughout the day. Yeah, that makes me sane.
Change everything.
I know.
I was gonna send you. I have to text you a picture, but we have your book, motivation, Motivation manifesto on my nightstand. And Conley the other day, sitting on the book, holding it open, and I was like, yes, child.
Start them early.
She's learning young.
Yes. Hey, I just want to thank you, Jenna, because so many people right now, you know, they turn within and obviously they care for their families and they care for things, but they also turn away from service when times of scarcity happen or chaos. A lot of people walked a good talk, but then when it came time to really show up and serve, they disappeared. And you've been there and you've been active and you've been out front and you've been loving and compassionate and empathetic and graceful, and I just appreciate that. Like, knowing that you're in the world, it means a lot. It means a lot.
Thanks, buddy.
You're the best.
I love your text threads. Well, you keep serving these amazing people on here. I love seeing everyone popping in. Isn't Brendan the best? I just actually. Real quick, before we go. On my podcast today, an amazing woman named Danielle Leslie said that you were the first person she ever encountered that got her to create an online course. And she talks about you in my podcast episode.
Come on.
Exposure to online Business.
Wow.
She has one course, one funnel, and she's done over $8 million in revenue from one course and one funnel.
Wow. I love that.
Because someone had sent her a video you created years ago.
Yeah.
So look at how what you've done years ago is still changing the world today. That's amazing.
That is amazing. I gotta go. Listen, you know, I realized today we found this video 2009. In 2009, I said, this is the. I said, this is the Virtual Influence and leadership economy in 2009. My first online course came out in 2006. It's just crazy because now the world is finding what you and I teach and talk about all the time, which is you can work from home, you can have balance, you can do virtual things, and you can have a tremendous lifestyle doing it. But you're also. It's like the ability to impact people like her and people all around the world through what we do. It's amazing. Yeah.
It just keeps giving and giving and giving. And you touch people every day, which is the coolest.
Ditto. Love ya. I miss you.
