Hey, this is Mark Given. It's raining outside, my hair's all frizzed up, but the birds are still tweeting. Can you hear them? I can hear them. In fact, just a little while ago I heard a bird tweet that 42 and a half things were too many things that you had to do. Maybe that's true. Maybe it's true. But you know what? Here's what I know. You still gotta plant, then you trust, then you harvest. I got my sleeves all rolled up so that I can do that. Plant, trust, harvest. In fact, my good friend Don Greeson, who I wrote 3 books with, told me a story one time about an acorn. He said, "You know, this acorn will grow into a great big old tree if you plant and trust just right." In fact, he said you can climb clear to the top, and there's only 2 ways to get to the top of an oak tree. One would be to grab hold of a limb and start climbing until you get all the way up there. The other way would be to plant the acorn and sit on it and wait for it to grow. Well, I don't know which one you're doing. I don't know that you have to do everything, but I do know you gotta do something. So here's what I promise. You need to sign up. If you'll get in that class next week, those of you that already have a great business, I bet we can elevate your business by 20, 25, 30% next year. In fact, I bet we can increase your income per hour so that you can work less and have a life. For those of you that your business isn't everything you want, I bet we can double or triple the business. In fact, I already know it's true. There are examples all across the country of people that are using the 42.5 Things that have exploded their business. So sign up. You need to be there. Don't miss it. You can be an acorn and wait and grow, or you can get to the top in the next 12 months. I'll see you then. See you then.
