Hey, it's Evan. I believe that if you want to have success as an entrepreneur, you need to thank the people who are making a positive impact on your business and in your life and let them know. You know, they'll feel good and you'll feel good about yourself as well. So today I want to thank Jenny Moon. Jenny is my media coach/trainer/awesome person And she works at the agency that I've retained to represent me, and every week she gets on a Google Chat with me and we break down my communication skills. So on my YouTube videos, doing videos like this, on my radio show, and anything that has to do with communication. She has really taught me so much, and every week I feel like there's a new lesson that that I'm learning from her. And we roleplay, she gives me great tips and great advice, and I really feel like without her and all the great tips that she's given, I would be a lot further behind. When I came to the agency, before I met her, I thought I was doing pretty well. I thought I was doing a good job. I look at my YouTube videos, people were responding, they were loving them. I thought I was doing a good job. And she came in and she said, "Listen, what you're doing is okay. You could be so much better. You could do such a better job and reach more people and have such a great impact if you did these things." And a lot of it is stretching outside my comfort zone. It's things that I'm not used to, things that I didn't grow up with. And it's hard. It stretches me. It frustrates me. It angers me. And when you're learning something, at least when I'm learning something new, and I don't get it right away, it's frustrating. But she's really patient and helps me out. And I just look at my YouTube videos from what I had when I started to what I'm doing now, and you see the vast improvement. And I see the comments coming in from people of how much it's changed their lives and how they love the videos and they're subscribing and engaging with it. And it makes me feel so good. And a lot of that is because of the work that I've done with Jenny. And even looking at my radio show from when I first started to where it is now, I just got off doing my 5th episode and already it's gotten a lot better from where I just started. And it hasn't been that long. And so she gives me so much information that it's hard to retain. You know, like it makes sense, but I have to actually go out and do it. And it's changing habits, which is hard, but I feel like I'm getting a lot better. And more importantly, I'm able to have a bigger impact, and that's all because of Janie. And I don't think I would have ever really figured any of that stuff out, or if I did, it would have taken me a long time. And her training and her support and her mentorship has meant a lot to me and has really helped improve my business and my life as well. So thank you, Janie. You're awesome, and I'll talk to you next Wednesday. For those of you watching, take time, recognize the people in your life who are having a lasting impact, and thank them. You'll feel good about yourself, and they'll feel good as well. Take care. I'll see you guys on the next episode.
