The fastest way to get from where you are to where you want to be is find something that you're passionate about, then find someone who's good at it and learn everything they've done so you can start off on third base. So many people, when they think about money, it's like. Or they think about this career is unfulfilling. I got to get out. And then they go over here and online, how to make six figures in six weeks, how to do this, get rich doing this. It's like, ah, I'll just stick with the thing I hate. It's like, you got to find someone who's got a proven path, a proven plan. Like, every time my brain at this phase of my life, when I think how to do something, my brain is converted to who's already done it and how can I learn from it. We're doing a big event in June yesterday. There's a gentleman that really is great at events, and I think Tony and I do events better than anyone. I'm willing to learn from anybody, but we want to make this bigger and better than anything. That yesterday I spent a good chunk of money and hired someone for half a day to come in and just share everything he knows about live events. And the truth is, I knew 90% of it, but there was 10% of, like, I didn't think about that. So my brain is always who versus how. So I would say everything's easier when you model proven practices. When you get a blueprint, you get the roadmap.
