Paul, 2 Timothy: "I have fought the good fight and I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith."
What's a quote you say you live by?
Everyone has like.
I always say everyone has like, two.
Or three, like, one that I refer to, like, all the time. This one goes back to probably middle school, high school, with me out of the good book. Right. To quote Paul here from second Timothy, I have fought the good fight and I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith. Not a little door states. I've always kind of had a problem finishing things. I have a lot of ideas. And, you know.
Your gift is that you get a lot of ideas. You're like, squirrel. There's not an entrepreneur on the planet. If you're listening to this, I will tell you right now, trust me, if you're an entrepreneur, if you're a restaurateur, you have a thousand ideas all the time that come at you from all over the place, and you just basically want to figure out how you can make them all happen. Yeah. And that's okay. I mean, that's okay. Your gift is that you are a vehicle, a vessel for divine inspiration. That's the way I look at it. You are just a. Just a vessel for divine inspiration. That's just channeling through you.
And so that quote, overall, at least get it to the point where other people can start running it. And, you know, that's. That's one way of running my businesses is really give people the guidance, the parameters, give them the highway to run on, and let them bring their car. That's a lot faster than me out there. But, you know, I got to get it there. So I'm always telling myself, I got to finish the race. I got to finish the race. And then, of course, you know, I've kept the faith, making sure that I'm doing it in a. In a manner that would make God happy.
