Here's what I know. Like, fair to say you all know shit you should be doing and you don't do it still. That's across the board. And most of the times, the person that says they want it is already choosing to not do those things. And I used to try to drag that person to success. And what I learned is not only does that occupy my time, it takes away all of my mental energy. I've had a lot of really good mentors in the space, and he taught me it's like a tank that only holds so much. And when you're dealing with that agent that you're dragging, it's mentally exhausting. Getting with someone that will do the work and all I got to do is say, dude, don't say that, they hate you when you say that, say it this way instead, change the way you position it. That's easy mentally, that I can do all day every day. So what I've learned is like when I'm trying to make someone be a 40K producer, I lose the person that will already do it.
