Somebody recently told me, he's like, if you want to become a doctor, you could either go to medical school or you can get a PhD like my business partner Tammy did. Or what you can do is you can call the credit card company and tell them, you gave me a credit card and you didn't write Dr. Joe Apfelbaum on it. You guys messed up. And they're like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We'll issue you new cards right away with Dr. Joe Apfelbaum. And I'm like, I just became a doctor. Okay. That's the hack of the day, ladies and gentlemen, become a doctor overnight. Um, okay. So the real question I have for you is if you wanna be able to make $100,000 in new business in 2026, what's the number one bottleneck that you have in your business right now that's stopping you from making an extra $100,000 next year? It might be, it might be you don't have enough friends in business. So write, I want more friends in business. Put that in the chat, right? I want more friends in business. If you had 150 real friends in business that knew everything you posted, that liked and commented on everything you sent them, that knew exactly what you did for a living and were willing to refer you 1 to 2 people every quarter, you would for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, make $100,000 a year for sure in new business. For sure. No question.
