Hey friends, it's John Assraf and I hope you're having an amazing January. I'm up here in Mammoth Lakes, California, up in the high Sierras at around 11,000ft, as you can tell by the beautiful views. It is beautiful up here. Gorgeous, beautiful Sunny day, about 45 degrees. They just had about 15ft of snow up here and you can see that it's just an amazing view up here. And I'll just move over here so some other people can take some pictures. Alright, now what I want you to understand is as I was coming up the gondola, I couldn't help but remind myself that as a beginner, you've got to learn the fundamentals. And it takes a little bit of time to learn the fundamentals. But once you start to practice and rehearse and get some guidance, you can move into the intermediate level. And if you keep practicing your craft, keep getting better, you hopefully can move up to the expert level. Well, I've been skiing for about 24 years and I'm just now getting to the strong intermediate level. And I've had hundreds of hours on the slope. I've had lots of lessons. So what's the lesson for you? The lesson for you is, regardless of what it is that you're doing, whether it's wanting to grow your business, make more money, get in great shape, it takes the fundamentals to get you started. And then through repetition, perfect repetition, you start to get better and better and better. It becomes easier and easier, easier. So I hope you enjoy a little bit of the view of beautiful mammoth. I hope that you remember to learn the fundamentals and then to practice every day. A little bit of practice every day, a little bit of discipline every day gives you the compounding effect of phenomenal sustainable growth. Have an amazing rest of January. Look forward to getting you some more great feedback. Bye. Now sit on the bottom so I can take.
