So how do you balance speed growing a business, sort of the fast lane mentality, with patience? I've had a business for a few years now. It's growing slowly, but I want it fast. You know, I'm young. I want to take advantage of the money. So I think that's all about expectations. I think if you recognize that you're applying the right business structure, yeah, there's going to be impatience. But I think that's knowing that's part of the process. And it's kind of the same philosophy with losing weight. Everyone wants to lose weight fast and it's impossible. That's why there's these pills and there's these quick fixes. That's a billion-dollar industry because people look for quick fixes. And I think if you have the right expectations and knowing that, hey, this is not going to be super quick, but it can be quick relatively speaking from the rest of society. So if you know that you are engaged in the right business with the right processes, you can, you know, be joyful and happy in that process.
