Hey, it's Evan. I'm here at the Toronto Airport. I'm about to get on a flight. I'm heading for Barcelona. And I got a message from somebody on— a YouTube viewer. And he wrote in to say, "Hey, this is the first time I've ever left a comment on your video. I've kind of been stalking you. I've been watching everything you've done. This is the first time I left a comment." And I thanked him. And for all of you guys who watch these videos, whether it be mine or other people, leave a comment. You know, most of these people creating these videos, just like myself, like, we're not getting paid to do this. We do this because we love doing it. I do these videos because I love helping entrepreneurs. I want to see you be successful. I believe in you guys. I'm trying to answer your questions, give you some help. And really what fuels me is seeing your comments come in. When people write in to say, "Hey, that was great information. You've changed my life," or "You've made my day," that makes me feel good. That makes me want to get up and do another video and keep on working, keep on hustling. So if you are a fan of this channel, you're a fan of any channel, support the people. Leave a comment, give it a thumbs up, just let them know you like like the video without even, you know, leaving a comment on it. Like, you don't have to share your opinion, you don't have to ask a question. Just say, you know what, this video was great, I loved it, thank you. Or give a smiley face, anything. Just leave something, man. It makes the people who create it feel good about themselves and want to keep doing it. And especially if the person's just starting up, you know, like, I get a ton of comments. I still love seeing them. I'm not saying don't leave comments on mine. Leave comments, man, makes it feel good. But for people who are just starting up who don't have a lot of comments, if you see a video that they make, support them. Man, give them some feedback. Give them some positive vibe because that one comment, your comment, can make the difference between them staying in business or not. You know, what keeps me motivated every day is watching the new comments come in, and it'd be harder for me if I didn't have those coming in every day. So if you like something, you see a video that you like, leave a comment. Just let that person know that you love what they're doing and keep it up. Thanks, guys. I'm about to hop this flight. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up, and hey, you know what? Leave a comment. Okay, see you guys soon. Cheers.
