Someone said, can you speak on long distance? What do you want me to say?
One of the things that's like my.
Hard fast rule is.
Don'T ever, ever go to that man's city first. Do you hear me?
He always needs to come and see you first.
I want you to be on your home base. It's like the NBA playoffs. You want home court advantage.
A lot of the girls think that they're flexing because they get flew out. Mm mm.
Do you know how much labor it takes to be flewed out?

To uber to the airport to wait for the actual flight.
That's time. Time is money.
You're moving your body. He's staying exactly where he's at. He doesn't have to do anything.
So when you get flew out, you're already creating, there's already a power imbalance.
And you are already telling this man that you are at a lower status that he is because you have to think about it almost like a company. The people, and I say this with respect, the people at the bottom are the people that are working the hardest.
The analysts. Those are the ones that are waking up, you know, early and getting to the job and then staying later until 8pm because they have to do a PowerPoint presentation.

Directors, VPs, most of them are not working themselves to death.
Okay? So when you get flew out, you're doing extra labor and you're already putting yourself in that second class citizenry of the relationship.
Once you're there, you can't get out of it.
Yeah.
When you get flew out, it is not a flex. He is ordering you.
You are an Amazon delivery package prime.
Okay? The flex is having him come to you and you staying on your throne as the queen that you are.
