You know how sometimes you go on stage and you don't know exactly what is the first sentence? That's out. And you don't know if they're gonna like you? That's out. The idea is that you know exactly what you're gonna say, how are they gonna feel, and what is the purpose? What is the goal? What is a clear one ask that we want them to take away with us? And the reason is because when we get off stage and Bruce or any one of the other teachers or someone will ask you, hey, so how did it go? You won't say, yeah, coach, things went well. You'd say it went exactly as planned. And trust me, I work with entrepreneurs from all over the world, and they always say, ah, I don't need to write it, it's fine, I'll improvise. After I teach them this, they can't go back because they know that in order to win, you have to come prepared.
