When you start something new and you're ready to go that next level in business, in life, you're going to have resistance from those people that you love and those people that love you. Now, for those of you that are young, you have a lot to prove. You have a lot to prove. And Andy and I went through that stage where, you know, we completely disconnect and we're focused on just, like, figuring it out. And we had the luxury to be like, hey, mom, dad, you don't support me, I'm going to go and make money. I'm going to make a name for myself. And, you know, if you support me, you're in. And that's okay. We did it. Okay. But some of you guys are married. Some of you guys have family, some of you have kids, and you basically can't do that to your wife. You can't do that with your kids. You can't be like, hey, I'm going to go chase my dreams, and I'm going to put everybody aside, and then, you know, they're going to support me later. Because you're going to lose time, you're going to lose money, you're going to lose faith, and you're going to create an uphill battle which you're going to end up losing at all. And we've been through that stage where we've built something and we've made money and we've lost money because we haven't done it right.
