And Zig Ziglar taught me a long time— I had the ability to work for Zig Ziglar and with him, and, and I was doing sales training for mortgage companies, and it gets so frustrating because we go in there and do an amazing presentation, standing ovations, blah blah blah, and it's okay, now you know, are you going to buy this? Brought package and you have little success. And I asked, what are we doing wrong? He said, we're not. But you have to understand, people will do exactly what they want to do, period. But not everybody's willing to do what it takes to get there. They want to want it only to a level of, well, that's a little bit too hard for me, or I'm not destined for that, I don't deserve that.
