In today's Thank You Thursday, I want to thank my League of Legends coach, Warren. Now, League of Legends is a computer game that I've recently gotten into. I've had some, some early success with and am starting a new venture around it called Guangdao Gaming. And Warren is my coach, and he coaches me to get better. And so you may be thinking, what is Evan doing getting into video games? You know, I don't have aspirations to become a professional player. I don't have 8 hours a day to dedicate towards becoming better and becoming a pro. But what I have found consistently is when I'm growing and having fun in an area outside of my business, I find that that always comes back to help my business in some way. So if you're, if you're growing and learning, having fun and doing something that makes you come alive, you bring that creativity, energy, momentum to your company. And every time I found myself in a rut or stuck or not feeling the you know, the energy or the flow or the vibe in my business, I find it doesn't often work to just push through and try to force it. Where if I'm doing something else where I am learning and getting better and being creative, that translates back into my business and gives me ideas on what I can do to grow. And so Warren's been coaching me over the past couple weeks, and we get together and he— we do this online with the Google Hangout, and he coaches me on how to get better. And it's been great to see the results. So I started off losing a lot, letting my team down, not being a great contributor, and over a couple weeks I've gotten better and I've improved my skills and I'm growing and I'm leading my team and I'm getting a lot of kills and not dying so much. And seeing that growth makes me feel good, gives me energy and momentum, and I bring that to my company. And so, Warren, thank you so much for your guidance and your patience. I know I'm not always the easiest student to work with, just in general. Maybe that's a topic for a different video. But Warren, thank you so much. And then for those of you watching, take time today to thank someone who's helped you in your business. You can't do this all alone. There are people who help you, who support you, who build you up, who make you believe in yourself. So take some time today just to say thank you. It'll make them feel great, it'll make you feel great, and it'll add good karma to the world, which will help your business grow.
