What's up, Believe Nation? It's Evan. My one word is believe, and I believe in you. I believe you have something insanely special in here that I want to see unleashed into the world. And so to help you on your journey today, we're going to look at the 20 best pieces of advice that every entrepreneur needs to hear. Number 17 is my personal favorite, and I'd love to know which one you guys like the best. And as always, as you're watching, if you hear something that really resonates with you, please leave it down in the comments below and put quotes around it so other people can be inspired. And when you write it down, it's much more likely to stick in here for yourself as well. Enjoy.
I say to the— my girls all of the time that your real work is to figure out where your power base is and to work on the alignment of your personality, your gifts that you have to give, with the real reason why you're here. That's the number one thing you have to do, is to work on yourself and to fill yourself up and keep your cup full. Keep yourself full. Now I used to be afraid of that. I used to be afraid, particularly from people who say, oh, she's so full of herself. Mm, she's so full of herself. And now I embrace it. I consider it a compliment that I am full of myself. Because you only, when you're full, I'm full, I'm overflowing, my cup runneth over. I have so much, I have so much to offer and so much to give. And I am not afraid of honoring myself, you know. It's miraculous when you think about it.
One thing I really like about you is you are unusually fearless and willing to go in the face of other people telling you something is crazy. And I know a lot of pretty crazy people, you still stand out. Where does that come from, or how do you think about making a decision when everyone tells you this is a crazy idea? Or where do you get the internal strength to do that?
Well, first of all, I'd say I actually think I feel fear quite strongly. So it's not as though I just have the absence of fear. I feel it quite strongly. But there are just times when something is important enough, you believe in it enough, that you do it in spite of the fear.
So speaking of important things—
Like, people shouldn't think, I should— people shouldn't think, well, I feel fear about this, and therefore I shouldn't do it. It's normal to feel fear. Like, you'd have to— there'd have to be something mentally wrong if you didn't feel fear.
So you just feel it and let the importance of it drive you to do it anyway?
Yeah, you know, actually something that can be helpful is fatalism, uh, to some degree. Um, if you just, if you just accept the probabilities, um, then that diminishes fear. So, um, when starting SpaceX, I thought the odds of success were less than 10%, um, and I just accepted that actually probably I would just lose, lose everything, um, but that maybe we would make some progress if we could just move the ball forward. Even if we died, maybe some other company could pick up the baton and move and keep moving it forward. So that would still do some good. Yeah, same with Tesla. I thought the odds of a car company succeeding were extremely low.
I knew I was wired to be excited about business. How or why, I don't know. But, you know, and there's certain guys that have the genetics to jump out of the gym, right? There's certain guys, you know, that You know, when they golf, they have the muscle memory and the discipline. You know, Dirk Nowitzki may not be the most talented guy in the NBA, but his discipline and his focus to do what's necessary to be successful, he's willing to do and combine it with being 7 feet tall and being skilled, you know, makes him an amazing basketball player. So it's understanding what your skill set is, finding the right place to use those skills, and then going for it. You know, will that make you $250 grand? It depends if you pick the right industry. But whatever industry you pick, if you outwork everybody, if you try to be a little smarter than everybody, if you try to be a better salesperson than everybody, if you try to be better prepared than everybody, you've got your best chance. Because if you don't do it and somebody else does, you know, I have the same work, like someone's trying to take it all away from you. You know, work, I actually work like someone's spending 24 hours working, 24 hours to take it all away from you. And, and that's kind of the way I look at it. And I remember asking my dad to, um, I wanted new basketball shoes because I was a basketball junkie back then. He's like, well, your shoes work. If you want a new pair of tennis shoes, you have to go out there and get a job. And I'm like, Dad, I'm 12 years old. And it just so happens he was playing poker with his buddies, and one of his buddies was like, well, I got a job for you. I've got these garbage bags that we distribute. You can sell them door-to-door. I'm like, okay. It was when I was selling them and realizing that I like to sell and that I could sell and that I recognized that selling was about providing a service and creating value for people that I knew that I would— literally, back then, I knew that I could always succeed. I mean, I remember I was 16, I think, when I started a stamp company and started going to stamp shows and trade shows and just working a little bit harder than other people and trading up from one stamp to the next. I remember one time I started with a quarter and bought a stamp and left with $50 thinking, "Hey, if I could do this, I could do anything." And it's not that everything worked. I failed a lot, but I never ever felt like I wouldn't be able to work hard enough to succeed.
A lot of people come to me and they say, "Well, I want to be an entrepreneur." And I go, "Oh, that's great. What's your idea?" And they go, "Well, I don't have one yet." "Ah." And I say, "Well, I think you should go get a job as a busboy or something until you find something you're really passionate about because it's a lot of work." And I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing. There are such rough moments in time that most people give up. I don't blame them. I mean, it's really tough. And it consumes your life. I mean, if you've got a family and you're in the early days of a company, it's— I can't imagine how one could do it. I'm sure it's been done, but it's rough. I mean, because it's pretty much an 18-hour-a-day job, 7 days a week for a while. So unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're going to not survive. You're going to give it up. So you've got to have an idea or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you're passionate about. Otherwise, you're not gonna have the perseverance to stick it through, and I think that's half the battle right there. It's hard to remember how bad it was, you know, in 19— early '80s with IBM taking over the world with the PC, with DOS out there. It was, it was far worse than the Apple II. They tried to copy the Apple II and they'd done a pretty bad job, and you needed to know a lot Things were kind of slipping backwards, and Macintosh was— you saw the 1984 commercial, I hope you have that in your archives. Macintosh was basically this relatively small company in Cupertino, California, taking on the goliath IBM and saying, "Wait a minute, your way is wrong. This is not the way we want computers to go. This is not the legacy we want to leave. This is not what we want our kids to be learning." This is wrong, and we are gonna show you the right way to do it. And here it is, it's called Macintosh, and this is so much better that it's gonna beat you. And we are gonna do it. And that's what Apple stood for.
I realize that when— to have the level of success that I wanna have, it's difficult to spread it out and do multiple things, you know. It's— in order to to be world-class, and I made a decision, I want to be world-class. And it just, it takes such a desperate, obsessive focus to excel on a certain, on the level that I want to make movies. You know, I was, uh, Star Wars when I was young. I sat in a movie theater and watched Star Wars, and I just couldn't believe that that movie made me feel like that, just floored and just stunned by the creativity. And just, I'm realizing that in order to move people in that way, in order to touch people in that way, you really gotta focus with all of your fiber and all of your heart and all of your creativity.
Failure is part of life. I mean, the difference for me though is I look at failure as a stepping stone to success. It's a speed bump. I know I'm gonna fail, but it's not failure if you learn something. And so, gosh, I've made so many mistakes. I've screwed so many things up, but Every time I do, it just becomes— it becomes a way for me to explain to someone else what it takes. You know, it's like, here's what I've done. I think I have the ability to influence people because I talk about my failures. I talk about all the things that mess me up, but I show people that I didn't let it stop me, and you don't need to let it stop you. And I think that's really the secret in that area.
And if everything you touched was successful, you probably wouldn't be able to relate to people as much.
No, you wouldn't be able to relate, and also it'd be total bullshit, and everyone would know it's bullshit. And also you'd be bored silly. I mean, think about it. If you just said, "I want this," and it happened, "I want this," and it happened, you know, people don't value what they don't fight for. You know, it's like you see kids sometimes, you know, your parents will say, "You're not gonna value this if you don't work for it." And you're a kid going, "Oh, I'll value it, just give it to me." But it's true. You know, the things we've worked the hardest for, we value the most. So I think, you know, the purpose of a goal is not getting it anyway. The purpose of a goal, you know, is who you become. Who you become is going to make you happier, it's going to make you sad. So, um, I'm not looking for an effortless approach. There's no such thing.
I have an old-fashioned belief that I can only— should expect to make money in things that I understand. And when I say understand, I don't mean understand, you know, what the product does or anything like that. I mean understand what the economics of the business are likely to look at— look like 10 years from now or 20 years from now. I know in general what the economics of, say, Wrigley chewing gum will look like 10 years from now. The Internet isn't going to change the way people chew gum. It isn't going to change which gum they chew. You know, if you own the chewing gum market in a big way and you've got Doublemint and Spearmint and Juicy Fruit, those brands will be there 10 years from now. So I can't pinpoint exactly what the numbers are going to look like on Wrigley, but I'm not going to be way off if I try to look forward on something like that. Evaluating that company is within what I call my circle of competence. I understand what they do, I understand the economics of it, I understand the competitive aspects of the business. So figuring out the economic consequences— TV, I think there's, I don't know, 20-25 million sets a year sold in the United States. I don't think there's one of them made in the United States anymore. I mean, you'd say TV set manufacture, what a wonderful business. I mean, everybody— nobody had a TV in 1950 or thereabouts, '45 to '50. Everybody has multiple sets now, but nobody in the United States has made any real money making the sets. They're all out of business. You know, the Magnavoxes, the RCAs, all of those companies. Radio was the equivalent in the '20s. Over 500 companies making radios in the 20s. Again, I don't think there's a US radio manufacturer at the present time. But Coca-Cola, you know, what was it, 1884, Jacobs Pharmacy or whatever, the fellow comes up with something. A lot of copiers over the years, but now you've got a company that is selling roughly 1.1 billion 8-ounce servings of its product— not all Coke, Sprite, and some others— daily throughout the world. 17 years later. So understanding the economic characteristics of a business is different than predicting the fact that an industry is going to do wonderfully. So when I look at the internet businesses, or I look at tech businesses, I say this is a marvelous thing, and I love to play around on the computer, and it— now I order my books from Amazon and all kinds of things, but I don't know who's going to win. Unless I know who's going to win, I'm not interested in investing. I'll just play around on the computer. And defining your circle of competence is the most important aspect of investing. It's not how important— how large your circle is. You don't have to be an expert on everything, but knowing where the perimeter of that circle of what you know and what you don't know is, and staying inside of it, is all-important. Tom Watson Sr., who started IBM, Walt Disney said in his book, he said, I'm no genius, but I'm smart in spots, and I stay around those spots. And you know, that is the key. So if I understand a few things and I stick in that arena, I'll do okay. And if I don't understand something but I get all excited about it because my neighbors are talking about stocks are going up and everything, they start fooling around someplace else, eventually I'll get cream, and I should.
That whatever you do, somebody can do it better. You have to bring your A-game in every single day. There is nothing unique about any one individual. What's unique is their passion, their ability to execute, to meet targets and exceed them. The minute you lose that ability, in capitalism, you're gone. It's a fair trade. The engine that makes you rich can take it all away from you. There are no guarantees. I think that's incredibly important.
Everyone has a problem with time, but the day is 24 hours and we sleep 6. Now I know there's some out there that say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I need 8. Well, I say just sleep a little faster. Because the bottom line is we have 6 hours of sleep, 24 hours are available, so you have 18 hours now available to your work, your family, your hobbies, and also to learn something new or to do something new, which could easily be that you want to learn a new language or that you want to read. And as a New Year's resolution, I have to read a book every week, or you say, I'm going to go and reshape my body. So you're going to go and take this hour out of your schedule and say, I'm going to train an hour every day. So this is for most people a huge challenge, but it is totally doable. I can tell them because the kind of things that I did when I came to this country, I mean, I went to school, I was working in construction, I was working out my 5 hours a day. I was taking acting classes from 8 o'clock at night to 12 midnight. I was doing all of those things. I wanted to make sure that out of the 24 hours of the day that I don't waste one single hour. Those hours were too precious. And so there I just want to tell people, don't give me this thing, "I have a difficult time with the time and I don't have time for this and I don't have time." You have time. You make the time.
There is an advantage to being what I like to call now hardcore. Hardcore. I don't know quite how to describe it. It's a combination of tenacious and dedicated and passionate and committed. Something like that, hardcore. I learned about being hardcore from math concentrators at Harvard. I'm not going to ask whether we have any math concentrators here, but I would say that's where I got kind of my lesson. I mean, people could just go crazy focused. And it wasn't just the people who were genius, but working and working and working and working. I'd sit in my room working on a problem set, and after 3 hours— I'm a little ADD— I just couldn't take it. The most hardcore people could just power through anything. And the advantage of being that tenacious and dedicated and committed, I claim, it helped us at Microsoft. It was fundamental at Microsoft. But I learned it here at Harvard.
I went to Redbox about 2 months ago. Went to go get me a Redbox. I told C I was getting a Redbox, and he He joking, you still getting Redbox? I'm like, yeah, what's wrong with Redbox? He's like, Netflix, you ain't on Netflix? I'm like, nah, I don't wanna watch TV. I said, I don't wanna watch no movie on my little small computer. He's like, your little small computer, put it on TV. I said, I can't put my stuff on no TV. I don't want nobody with no auxiliary cord all running through my crib like that. He's like, nah, the smart TV, bruh. I'm getting paid and I ain't got no smart TV. I need you to hear what I just said. I got bread and I got the same TV I bought when I moved into the house. Why? 'Cause I could put on and that joker come on.
Y'all laugh and you like, why would you do a TV like that?
'Cause I remember back in the day when you used to get the hanger with the aluminum foil and drop that joker on and it's cloudy, cloudy and you trying to do what you gotta do. So what I got is way sweeter than that.
We used to have to, this old school, you had to turn to get the station.
Station 2.
Then you doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, 7. Right? And that joint went off at night. Our TV don't even go off. Our TV like 11 o'clock, oh say can you see by the dawn's early light. Your TV go—
I could just go and cash me out and get a brand new one, but the reason why I don't do it is because of a healthy sense of scarcity is great. You get too much, you got too much. You get everything, you lose your bite. I can't afford to lose my bite because there's other dudes out here doing what I'm doing, and if they do it better than me, my kids ain't gonna have lifestyle they have. My wife is retired at 45 because she got MS. She cannot go back to work. I cannot let you beat me, so I'm not gonna go buy 3, 4 cars.
Scarcity. You cannot have everything you seek. It's not healthy. There's a, there's a, there's a part of lack that make you hungry. There's a part of eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that make you deeper than the dude that's eating 5-star meals.
Man, let me tell you something, man. I promise I love you on everything I love. If I could do my life all over again, I promise you I would. I'm glad my daddy wasn't in my life. I swear to you, I'm glad I lived in abandoned buildings. I swear to you, I'm glad I got my GED. I look at cats who way smarter than I am and they ain't got no dog. They ain't got no bite. I'm looking at grown men who ain't where they want to be me in life, in no part of they life, and they waking up at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning.
I'm like, bro, what you smoking? I thought you was a Christian, you wasn't on no drugs.
You on drugs.
Are you invested in you? Do you care about you?
So what you need to transition from with your entitled self, what you need to transition from is friends and fun. You need to stop having it. Until you get to where you want to be in life, you need to stop having all that fun. And you need to just start making up in your mind, just start saying you broke.
Just start saying it, 'cause you probably are, for real. Even if you got some money, you probably got your parents' stuff.
It probably don't belong to you, which means you didn't earn it, is what I'm talking about.
So if you have something that you did not earn, you have to stop telling yourself that you have something. Look, you gotta hear what I'm telling you. I'm trying to help you. I only take pictures of clothes that belong to me. I don't put my boy's shoes on and then take a pic in it like they're mine. No, and what I'm trying to tell you is you are broke, but you don't realize you broke because you're living somebody else's life. And if you're living somebody else's life, what you should be able to do is say, I am grateful that this person is trying to set me up for greatness, but I won't fake it like it's my life.
All I'm saying to you is when you act like you you've got something that you really don't, then you don't have the drive that it takes to be successful.
I find that levels of success in almost any industry or area correlate to a person asking great questions. In some cases they seem absurd. In fact, the hallmark in a way of great questions is that it sounds completely ridiculous. So someone might ask, like Peter Thiel, why can't you achieve your 10-year goals in the next 6 months? As a thought exercise, that's a good question to answer for yourself. And these types of questions come up surprisingly often with very, very impressive folks, whether it's in business, military, entertainment, or otherwise. And the way you can get better at questions is by studying interviews, in part. So I studied Larry King, I studied Charlie Rose, I studied Terry Gross. I studied, da, da, da, da, da, go down the list. I studied Tony Robbins, who does in-person, one-on-one interventions at his events in front of 10,000, 5,000 people, and he's just genius with how he uses questions to pattern interrupt and grab someone's attention and divert them in a more productive direction. Now, why is that relevant? It's relevant because thinking is the process of asking questions. You're asking yourself questions and then you're answering them in your own head. So if you get better at asking other people questions, you get better at asking yourself questions, which means you are improving your thought performance and level of thinking.
So it looks like you always go out of your comfort zone, right? Coming onto an island that was completely deserted, no fresh water, you didn't even have the money to buy it, and now you're sleeping on a tent on the beach trying to figure out how to get fresh water here. You do that often. You did it with the airline.
I mean, I was just somebody that experienced the bad experience of traveling on airlines. I was actually trying to get to the BVI, the British Virgin Islands, one day from Puerto Rico, and the same lovely lady was waiting for me, and I'd been away for 3 weeks, and American Airlines bumped the flight. And, um, uh, and so I went to the back of the airport, I hired a plane, um, I hired a blackboard, I wrote Virgin Airlines one-way, $29 to the BVI, went around all the people who'd been bumped, and I filled my first plane. And that got me thinking, you know, that airlines do bump people, they don't care about you or me particularly in the air. And so we— so I then rang up Boeing and said, do you have any secondhand 747s?
No kidding. I mean, it was literally that. You just sat in the airport and said, I'm starting an airline right now because I'm frustrated.
Exactly.
And I think most, most of the best entrepreneurial ideas come out of frustration. I think, you know, if you're frustrated about something, the best way of sorting it out is get out and do it, and you've got yourself a business.
We know from our past experiences that big things start small. You know, the biggest oak starts from an acorn, and You've got to recognize— if you want to do anything new, you've got to be willing to let that acorn grow into a little sapling and then finally into a small tree, and maybe one day it'll be a big business on its own.
And in fact, that's one of the mottos for one of your initiatives, and forgive my pronunciation of the Latin, but gradatim ferociter. What does that mean to you?
Well, it means step by step ferociously, and it's the motto for Blue Origin. Basically, you can't skip steps. You have to put one foot in front of the other. Things take time. There are no shortcuts. But you want to do those steps with passion and ferocity.
When I started business, because it's so difficult to be a small business owner owner in China. It took me 5 months to borrow $500 and still failed. No chance. And it is, it is, it is, and I have no any idea about how to run a business. And when I go to register a company called Internet, the registering officer said, no, there's no such a word Internet in the dictionary. How can you register Internet? So they say you have to register another name. Say I said, what's the name? He said, computer consulting firm. And I have no idea about what is computer. So my first company is Ansel Hope Computer Consulting Firm. It was tough without knowing anything about technology, without knowing anything about computer. In the past 15 years, I've been working. I call myself like a blind man riding on the back of the blind tigers. Those experts riding horses, they all fell. We survived because we worry about the future. We believe the future. We change ourselves. We never complain the others.
You went to Harvard and you dropped out. Have you ever thought how your life could be better off if you had gotten your Harvard degree?
Well, I, I'm a weird dropout because I take college courses all the time. I love Learning Company courses and things. So I loved being a student. And there were smart people around and they fed you and they gave you these nice grades that made you feel smart. So I feel it was unfortunate that I didn't get to stay there. But I don't think I missed any knowledge because whatever I needed to learn, I was still in a learning mode.
So stripping that all back to start of your career, a man with a dream, um, you know, training in the gym day in, day out. If somebody said to you, you'll have or you'll be as successful as you are now, what would you have said back then? I believe you.
That's what I would have said, because I did believe.
Yes, I believed in it.
I had very few people who told me that.
I had a small, small, small group of people that would tell me something like that. Other than that, it was just me telling myself. So if someone came up to me and told me that all the way back then, I'd say, "You're damn right." I got a— I started working at this video store. It was pretty much what you're talking about around that time. And it was great at first, because I'd always hated day jobs. Stuff. And so I got a day job and it ended up being pretty good. But admittedly, I was there for 5 years. At a certain point, it was a narcotic, all right? I didn't have to keep pursuing my dreams because, you know, it's not what I want to do, but it's sort of kind of close. And if I didn't have an artist's soul burning in me, I could have made myself happy with that. I could— if I, if I didn't have an artist's soul burning to get out, I could have I could have walked backwards a couple steps and just done that. And that would have been a fulfilling— well, to anybody else, it would have been a fulfilling life. It wouldn't have been for me, because I would have known I would have had something to say that I didn't get a chance to say. But it did put me to sleep for a while. And I've always just thought— I mean, what really got everything kind of truly going for me— you could point out a lot of different things, but the bottom line is the fact that I realized that even the group people I hung around with. They were all great, great, great fellas and great gals. But it was easy for me to think that I was doing a lot because I was doing more to try to move myself forward than they were. But that's not— yeah, OK, I'm a big fish in a puddle. So what? They're not doing anything. So yeah, I'm doing more than them. But I realized that actually I need to get my ass out to Hollywood and meet other people who are, you know, like, in my category or working a little higher. And I should be the weakest link in my chain that I have. And that'll make me be stronger. It'll make me run faster. I mean, like, an analogy I've always used is, all right, if you run the 100-yard dash, with people that can't run as fast as you, yeah, you'll win hands down. You know that. But if you run with people much faster than you, all right, yeah, you might come in last every single time, but your time will be better because they're making you run all the faster. They're making you dig down just a little bit more. It doesn't matter that you won. Your time is faster. And that's what I knew I had to do. I had to get out of Loserville and throw myself into a place where, like, this is what the do for a living.
One night, Chris had gone to bed. I'd been struggling, struggling, struggling. We still had all the same problems.
I—
we started a lien on the house, still facing bankruptcy, still fighting like crazy. I was still unemployed. He still— they still hadn't figured out like the solution yet for the business. And I was about to turn off the TV, and there on the, the TV, there was this rocket launching. And I thought, oh my gosh, That is it. I am gonna launch myself out of bed like a rocket ship, like NASA right here had launched me out of that bed, and I'm gonna move so fast that I don't think. Mm. I'm gonna beat my brain. Now, here's a really interesting point. I talk a lot about your instincts and inner wisdom. And we can get into this a little bit later, but a lot of us talk about the fact that you have a gut feeling. But what all this research that I've done for the book and all the speaking that I do, what I've discovered that's fascinating is actually when you set goals, when you have an intention on something that you wanna change about your life, your brain helps you. What it does is it opens up a checklist and then your brain goes to work trying to remind you.
[Speaker] Yeah.
Of that intention that you set. And it's really important to develop the skill, and I say that word purposefully, the skill of knowing how to hear that inner wisdom and that intention kicking in and leaning into it quickly. So for me, my brain saying, "That's it right there. Move as fast as a rocket, Mel." I wanted to change my life. And I think most people that are miserable or that are really like dying to be great and dying to have more, we wanna change, we wanna live a better life, we wanna create more for our families, we wanna be happier. The desire is there. Again, it's about how do you go from knowledge to action. So the first thing in this story that's important is realizing that the answer was in me and my mind was telling me pay attention. Could have also been the bourbon. I had had a couple of Manhattans that night. Anyway, the next morning the alarm goes off and I pretended NASA was there. It's the stupidest story. I literally went 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I counted out loud and then I stood up. And I'll never forget standing there in my bedroom. It was dark, it was cold, it was winter in Boston. And for the first time in 3 months, I had beaten my habit of hitting the snooze button. I couldn't believe it, and I thought, "Wait a minute. Counting backwards? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life." Well, the next morning I used it again and it worked. The next morning I used it again and it worked. The next morning I used it again and it worked. And then I started to notice something really interesting. There were moments all day long all day long, just like that 5-second moment in bed where I knew—knowledge—what I should do. And if I didn't move within 5 seconds, my brain would step in and talk me out of it. Every human being has a 5-second window. Might even be shorter for you. You have about a 5-second window in which you can move from idea to action before your brain kicks into full gear and sabotages any change in behavior. Because remember, your brain is wired to stop you from doing things that are uncomfortable or uncertain or scary. It's your job to learn how to move from those ideas that could change everything into acting on them.
Is there a time to bail out on a project though?
I mean, when— I don't— I don't— That's not in my vocabulary.
Yeah.
Look, I have an unfair advantage, you know. I went to war. And at war, I'm alive because other guys died for me. When you see stuff like that, you know, how can I quit? Most guys are just wimps, pussies, cowards. They don't have it. So they should get a job.
So thank you guys so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed. I'd love to know which of the 20 had the biggest impact for you, meant the most to you. You're gonna immediately take some kind of action in your life or your business. Please share your thoughts, leave it down in the comments below. I'm really looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you guys again for watching. I believe in you. I hope you continue to believe in yourself and whatever your one word is. Much love.
I'll see you soon.
