It's Thursday, so it's time for another Thankful Thursday. I believe it's important to thank the people in your life who have an impact on you and helping your business grow, because you can't do this alone. You need the people around you to support you. So today I want to take the time to thank my sister Stephanie. Now Stephanie was one of the first people who I brought on into my business when I was first getting launched, and that's a really important time, you know, when you're first launching a business, the people who you surround yourself with are super critical because if they're just there for the money, if they don't really believe in what's happening, if they're a negative energy for you, then that could be the end of your business. That could be it. And on the other hand, if you surround yourself with people who build you up, who give you ideas, who bring positivity, who bring momentum and energy, then that can be— that could be it too. That could be what helps take you off. And Safni was that. She was always a great supporter of everything I was doing. She was writing a lot of the famous entrepreneur profiles that you see featured up on my website even still to this day. And those stories not only helped my audience and my website grow, but also helped me stay motivated. And, you know, seeing those entrepreneurs who came from nothing and had so much adversity in their lives and they overcame it and kept going and built these great companies helped give me motivation to keep going. And so Stephanie was a big part of that. Now Stephanie is still involved somewhat in the company in terms of giving support and advice. And I recently relaunched my newsletter and she wrote in something like, "Evan, I love what you do with the newsletter. I actually read it now." You know, that's the kind of honesty you get from your sister. But anyway, Stephanie, I appreciate everything you've done. I love you so much and I will have to find a time to come and see you in New York soon. So that's my Thankful Thursday. I hope you guys watching will take the time, take 5 minutes today to give somebody a phone call, make a video, write somebody an email just to thank them for the impact that they've had on you and your business. It'll make them feel great, it'll make you feel great, and everybody will have more energy to go out and conquer the day. Believe!
