But Ms. Rachel Rogers @ one point had a. I'm gonna say this number out loud, and I.
Gotta say it.
A 400 credit score.
I. I remember there was, like, a credit card, like, that I was trying to keep up with, and I forgot. Like, I literally forgot about one payment, and it tanked my credit score.

So if I'm showing up and I hate some aspect of the business, I cannot show up as my best for my clients. And so therefore, they're not getting the best of what we have to offer. But I started my own practice, and the first year I made like, $65,000, which I replaced my. My first year salary. Like, my salary as a clerk was $41,000 a year and good health insurance. So I was like, if I could just replace that, like, let's start there. I did it the first year. Then the second year, I made like $300,000. And so I was like, oh, I'm on to something, right? And like, Even with the 65,000, I knew I was just scratching.
