So whether you make 20,000 quid a year or a million and a half quid a year, the psychological warfare that happens internally is relatively similar. And so they'll still be in tears and crying. And for those that are in leadership roles, I'm like, look, what do you expect? You are, first of all, already in the top 1% of the top 1% of wealth earners on the planet, let's be honest, right? That's going to be highly competitive. Now, are you telling me that you're going to shirk at that responsibility, or are you going to feel grateful for the opportunity to push forward? Now, from a psychological perspective, the more we approach this with gratitude versus anxiety, the more that anxiety goes away. So gratitude and anxiety occupy the same part of the brain. So the more grateful you are, you can't actually feel anxious. At the same time.
