So a couple weeks ago I made a Thank You Thursday video thanking you guys for subscribing to my channel and for getting over 25,000 subscribers, and I posted a little challenge. I said, "I'd like to propose that we do a live Hangout, free training for you guys. You get me for an hour to answer any question that you want, and we'll chat it out for an hour." And I said, "I'll do it if I get at least 25 comments on that video." Since it was 25,000 subscribers, I wanted 25 Comments Plus. We got almost 50 comments, so I guess we gotta go do the training. And what I wanted to do was get your feedback on what's the biggest challenge that you're facing now in your business, and I'd like to try to help you overcome that. I remember when I had my first business and was struggling, and, and, uh, you know, I didn't know anybody. I had zero contacts. There were no people in my family who were entrepreneurs. Everybody had you know, safe jobs in government or big companies. And while they were supportive of what I was doing, my family didn't really give me any advice on how to be an entrepreneur. And I was a teenager, I had zero connections, and I went to the only place where I thought they were friends of entrepreneurs, which was my bank. I knew literally zero, I knew nobody. And so I went to my banker and I said, I'd like some help with my business. That's how struggled and desperate I was, I guess. And he asked me, "Well, do you need a loan? Do you need some capital?" I said, "No, no, I don't need money. I need advice." And I don't know if he felt sorry for me or he just liked me and my story, but he put me on to somebody who put me on to somebody who put me on to somebody, and that last person's name was John. He became my first mentor. And John really helped save my business. He taught me about selling and taught me about marketing, taught me about positioning, taught me about strategy. And honestly, without John, I don't know where I would be now. I don't know if I would have continued on with my business or given up and gone back and got a job. And so John had such a major impact on my life, and I want to be that person for you. I want to help you guys out, my loyal subscribers. You guys are awesome. You keep me motivated and happy and excited and want to get get up and do more videos and keep posting away for you guys. And so I wanted to have that chance to do the one-on-one training with you, and I want a theme around it. So I'm open to any question. I'm happy to talk about whatever you want to talk about that you might want me to be able to help you out with. But I wanted to start with a theme, and I would start by sharing my thoughts on it before diving into Q&A. And so I want you to help me pick that theme. So leave a comment below. Let me know what your biggest burning question is right now, the biggest challenge you're facing right now. and, uh, we'll tabulate the comments, the results, make a theme, and I will let you know when we do the live training. I'm, I'm really excited to connect with you guys one-on-one. Um, maybe it'll be a series, who knows? We'll see. Anyway, leave a comment below, continue to believe. Thank you so much, and I'll see you soon. Every week I share inspiring and motivational stories that really mean something to me that I hope you'll check out in my newsletter below.
