And so when you're thinking about deadlines and you're thinking about expectations, you as the owner, you set the cadence. If people say, hey, can we do this? And then you're like, cool, let's start right now. You set the tone for how the organization is going to move, how quickly it's going to orient, how quickly thoughts become reality, and ultimately how powerful your organization will become because of the speed. And speed isn't doing things fast. It's basically just not being distracted by other. It's being able to prioritize. And most people, a lot of the times aren't doing something that's high priority. A lot of times they're just doing nothing. If you can speed up that loop and force and put apply pressure to your team to not do things by end of week or even end of day. It's 10am can you get this done by noon? Okay. And then you can have that loop happen three times within a day, rather than it taking three weeks, because you set that cadence from the beginning, and then things get done faster.
