072 Mindsets To Overcome Financial Hurdles Associated With Lyme Disease and Chronic Illness- Don Schlichte
13 Dec 2018 · 39 min
Don Schlichte, founder of G5T Money, discusses how chronic illness families can reshape their financial mindsets. He introduces the concept of a personal "blueprint"—the inherited formula that drives spending and earning habits—and explains how to rewrite it to move beyond survival toward financial independence, rather than following one-size-fits-all programs like Dave Ramsey's.

That's not personal. That is just understanding the system we're in, the socialized medicine, the fiat debt bubble that we live in. Like, there's a lot going on behind the scenes financially and in our medical world that have landed us in this really odd position. It's always historically been expensive to be sick, but it wouldn't bankrupt you in a day.
Yeah, right.
You can spend a year's salary in a day and be no better off and have actually received no care and treatment.

Yes, our Kangen water machine has absolutely been a game changer.
Absolutely. We had such a great response from episode 64.
Episode 64 goes into the details if you have not listened to it as far as why it's been so helpful and what it does. And basically it's alkaline water, but it's also antioxidant-rich. So 2 glasses of fresh water is equivalent to 5 pounds of blueberries, and it has been radical for us as a household.
Yeah, there's, there's so many more uses. We, I mean, we had to do a whole episode on it. But basically, go to myfreewaterstore.com to find out more information directly. Go to episode 64, you can actually hear Wade Holder talk about all the different app, uh, applications and benefits from it. And then when you are ready to purchase this machine, we are now distributors. So when you're ready, you call me at 505-681-1770. And there is financing available. If it wasn't for their financing options, we wouldn't have a machine. Call me, we'll talk through some of those options, and this is going to be a huge benefit to your life.
Yes, it is. And we will be talking extensively over this next year even about fasting and how powerful fasting can be with alkaline water.
Yeah, excellent. Water is key, people.
Change your water, change your life.
Yep.
Welcome to this episode of Mind Voice. Today we have Don Schlichte with G5T Money. We're talking about money. We're talking about the struggles with it, how to move past where you currently are, and the mindsets needed. Very important. And there's some real truth here, people. I think you're gonna really enjoy it. It will get your brain working for sure. It was really revealing for me to listen to this again because it just is a good evaluation of where my money— where my mind is with my money.
Well, and it's so important. We've talked about this, but there's a direct link between your mindset towards money and/or about money and your mindset towards healing. My dad has this financial company and we have a company that's focused on wellness, and yet we're really talking about the same exact mindsets.
The same mindset needed.
Yeah, you have to adapt these new mindsets to move beyond a place of crisis or lack.
And regardless of the topic, whether it's money, sex, You're right. Health, finance, it's those same principles that we continue to go back to. Fighting is a mindset, healing consists of choices, and living is the outcome.
Yeah, so this is one of many that will be coming your way, but I think you'll enjoy it. Welcome to this segment of Game Changers. With me today is again my very special guest, my dad and author— well, my dad and founder of g5t.money. Dad, thanks so much for being here with us today.
Yeah, yeah, thanks guys. I'm, I'm, I'm loving, uh, passing on the information that has changed my life and changed your guys's lives in the midst of your struggles with Lyme.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, and it really has. If you have not been to g5t.money, go check it out. We know at least a half a dozen families who are battling chronic illnesses who have gone through this, and it has made a positive impact across the board on every single one of those families. And some of them have drastically changed their lives, some of them are still on the journey, but it's always been this progression of growth. And G5T really is a pathway, much like LimeVoice. We can't hand you simple solutions because there's nothing simple about what we're talking about, and it requires depth and honesty and emotional intelligence, but there is a pathway. And much like Lime Voice and Fight Hill Live is a pathway for things, G5T really is a pathway for financial intelligence and financial hope. And it's so relevant to what everyone in the chronic illness community needs.
Yeah, I agree, guys. That's— I mean, that's, that's what drives me is I don't have a specific plan for your clients. Like, I didn't have one for you and Aaron, Sarah, but I, I gave you a, a pathway of becoming smarter financially, developing your financial and emotional intelligence, and got you in, in a game of self-awareness and growth. And you guys have made the most of it. So you guys are, are some of my star students, uh, because you've, you've, you've taken G5T, you got in the growth game, you started reading other material And, you know, you realized your own limitations. You might want to tell a little of your stories there. You probably have, but you realized your own limitations, what you couldn't do. Erin couldn't work, you know, even 40 or 50 hours a week out of the home. It wasn't going to work. And I know you concluded you wanted to monetize your words, but that was a process you went through, and you might never have gone through that if you hadn't taken Financial Freedom Inside Out.
Absolutely. And I think that was the thing, like, we had already been entrepreneurs for a lot of years, so this was a very natural progression for us. But what happened because of a decade plus of illness and medical bills is I could no longer do real estate physically, emotionally, cognitively. It was just too much for me. And it, as after I realized I was not gonna die, I knew if I ever survived this thing, I would wanna do something more meaningful. And so the thought of going back into real estate, which was very financially appealing, emotionally and spiritually did not meet any of my needs. And I have fought way too hard to stay alive to give away any ounce of my energy to something that's not worth worthwhile. And I didn't know for sure if we could monetize it, but you do understand marketing and sales in real estate. And so for us, it was just this journey of realizing that the way everyone else lives life, going to work Monday through Friday and having their 3 weeks off a year or whatever it is, did not meet our needs. Yeah, physically, emotionally, financially. And I— we have fought so hard, you know. I'm constantly running 1,000 checklists in my head of like Okay, of all my kids, am I meeting their needs emotionally, physically, financially? Have I made physical contact with them today? Have I laughed with them? You know, like, I'm always running these lists. And the same is true financially. Like, we have to be dealing with this on so many levels because it's, it's not going to go away and it's not going to get cheaper.
Yes. And you guys, what you did is I think through my course, you got hope, you've got some financial and emotional intelligence, you got some significant self-awareness financially what was going on in you, and then you started taking next steps. And that, you know, I want to pass it on to your listeners is that in the midst of some real messiness that our family understands in terms of my wife and I raised a handicapped child for 12 years until he passed away, and it was 24/7 care. Asking the why question constantly, totally overwhelmed our life until he passed away. I understand the financial and emotional strain of that, and I also understand the strain of having a Lyme spouse or having that disease and trying to work through it. So I understand that, but G5 training will give you the hope, and then you'll have to take the next steps But like Sarah and Aaron are really good examples because they, they started to realize what they couldn't do. They had dreams and hopes of what they could do, but they just started taking next steps. And I think monetizing your words— I remember you saying that, Sarah, shortly after the course, or even during the course, I think you said that. Yeah. And here we are 4 years later and you're still in the middle of it, you know, working it out. But you took next steps and, you know, it's, it's unfolding for you.
Yeah, yeah. And just to relate back to what we always talk about, fight, heal, live. I mean, what we're talking about today is healing consists of choices. And I mean, really, that's the, that's the next step principle, the next thing you need to do to be on the offensive and not the defensive anymore. And that's, you know, the first part of mindset, the fighting mindset, just leans right into healing and it enables you to to move forward in healing, in finances, and in your body as well.
I think one of the things that I took out of when we went through G5T the first time is the book Think and Grow Rich by— is that T. Harv Eker?
No, Napoleon Hill.
Oh yeah, Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich. And I remember reading this because in 2014, I could get up and go to the once-a-week meeting most of the time. Not all the time, but it was still so draining and still dealing with so much fatigue and cognitive and emotional PTSD and stuff that for me, I— that was so appealing to me because I could do so little. And as I heard his words, I listened to it on Audible, he saying, your thinking enables your ability to grow rich. And I'm like, I mean, and thinking and pondering and meditating was something that had been stolen from me for a really long time because of my cognitive issues. So I value the process of meditating and pondering things like Lime Voice has been born out of that. But financially speaking, we did not have the tools we needed to shift gears and go into whole new careers. And I think one of the things that G5T does is, okay, how do we start from zero when you can't go back to doing what you were already trained to do, when you can't go back to that career? It when you can't do what you've always done. To me, the whole concept of Think and Grow Rich was really appealing, and I've listened to that book at least a dozen times in the last 4 years and continue to listen to it. And every time it's just so impactful because, again, our mindsets are those opening pathways.
So yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead, Sarah.
No, um, I— another one of the things that we've talked about in the prior segments is your blueprint and how specifically your your root blueprint and programming impacts how you perceive things. And you had mentioned that you have 5, a 5-point blueprint, and you had said your 5 things that you grew up with were living month to month. Uh, your parents enjoyed your money and you did too. Uh, you worked hard, work hard and it'll work out, which is sort of true sometimes if you're not chronically ill and dying. Um, you had no vocabulary for investing or long-term financial wealth. Gaining, and your Christianity de-emphasized the need for money. And what was astounding for me is, as you were explaining that in class, your 5-point blueprint is exactly my 5-point blueprint, right?
Surprise, surprise.
Aaron's is slightly different, but the— they, they lend themselves to the same mentality. So from, from all of that That impacted as we were making financial decisions. One of the concepts that came out of that blueprint was being ultra responsible. And Aaron and I have been ultra responsible, much like you and Mom. Don't go into debt, don't have consumer debt, be frugal, save, blah, blah, blah, plan. Except the numbers simply don't add up. And two things happened, I think, for Aaron. One is he real— like, He looked at it and it was very personal. Like, oh, the numbers are not adding up. And for me, I accepted that for a while, but then I'm like, you know what? Our money is based on a fraudulent system. Like we're living in a fiat money system. This is not personal. This isn't like for us, our bulk of our debt came the day that I lost my insurance when I was very sick. I applied for disability, lost my insurance, and after 10 years of making freaking payments every month on every— all these medical bills, all of a sudden, like, we were tens of thousands of dollars in debt. I could not believe it. Okay, that is just basic math. That's not personal. That is just understanding the system we're in, the socialized medicine, the fiat debt bubble that we live in. Like, there's a lot going on behind the scenes financially and in our medical world that have landed us in this really odd position. It's always historically been expensive to be sick. But it wouldn't bankrupt you in a day.
Yeah, right.
You can spend a year's salary in a day and be no better off and have actually received no care and treatment. So that's the— that's the thing you gotta understand. And then from there, okay, how do we start? How do we start from zero? And I think that— or how do we start in crisis? Or how do we start when we have kids who are sick?
Yeah, because the harsh reality is most of us out there are below zero. And that was the most daunting thing for me in G5T is like I was trying to answer that question. How do we start from below zero? How do we start from the negative?
Yeah. Yeah, and I understand that because I actually, you know, in terms of being prepared for retirement, I started from negative, if you will, and You know, even helping you guys out in 2013 to send Sarah to that clinic, you know, put me back a few tens of thousands. And, but, you know, it was worth it. We had to do it. And, but I really needed to really change my overall blueprint that I had potential to make a lot of money in my senior years, that I didn't used to think that way. And it all started, you guys, with the blueprint. So if I could help your clients just in our little segment here, understand the power and dynamic of a blueprint by giving an example, because I believe that's how you start. You don't start by like starting a business or, or whatever, because if you have the same programming and thinking that got you where you are financially, you're not going to get out unless that changes. So if I could give an example, Sarah, that I think people will understand When I was developing material about financial education and G5 training, a gentleman who had a service industry came to my house. He had heard me speak at an event, a business event. And he said, I'm going to try to quote it exactly here for you because it's real revelatory about his blueprint. He said, Don, quote, I understand what you're saying. I only want to make $100,000 a year. I don't want to be greedy and chasing money. And I don't want to feel guilty when I go to church. Now, literally, I mean, it was like a godsend quote for me.
It's such a loaded statement.
Such a loaded statement. Think about what he's saying. This is a Christian man who goes to an evangelical church like I pastored, okay? And he's saying that somehow in his mind, whether through his family or 150 sermons he heard over the year, years, somehow $100,000 in his mind, right? It's in his mind that this is this mark, marker point of anything over that is greedy and chasing money. Okay. And he's going to feel guilty when he goes to church. Where did he come up with that $100,000 figure?
Right.
Quote, that's not that much money, right? Nowadays, if you're chronically ill, you're going to be poor, poor, poor with $100,000 a year. So listen to what he said though. There's so much, his Christian training came to bear powerfully. He's not comfortable with wealth. He thinks he's gonna be greedy and chasing money if he makes $200,000 a year, let alone a million a year, then he's gonna be like, I don't know, his world will blow up. He'll be a God hater or something. You see how all his— he has— he's made conclusions. He believes things about money. He's made conclusions and he has values now about money that show up. Show up, i.e., I can't make over $100,000. So my question to your audience is, will he ever make $100,000? I doubt it. Yeah, not unless that blueprint changes and gives him permission to do it. Even then, he may not do it because if he has other issues of negativity about money, he'll never learn how to make more than $100,000. So that quote is loaded. I shared my own blueprint in the last segment. Most people have a blueprint, and if you walk through your blueprint, they're all unique and to each other, okay? And mine had a pretty strong Christian influence, so did this gentleman. Yours may not, but that's okay. It doesn't matter. Think through what you were taught, what you hear said, things like, hey, you know, money doesn't grow on trees, does it? You know, and I remember my mom saying that with a certain angst in her voice. You know, Don, money doesn't grow on trees, you know. And it was kind of like this mix of jealousy and envy, and yet, Don, you're gonna have to work real hard to make money because it doesn't grow on trees, right? Yeah. Well, that's, that's, you know, if phrases like that are repeated in your household growing up, That's programming you about the topic of money.
Absolutely.
Yes. And so what you're going to have to do is figure out your blueprint. You're going to have to figure out the formula that you've been operating on. So for your clients, the most common formula in America is education plus job equals security. Okay? Education plus job equals security. That's the way it is in America, right? You got to get some schooling or vocational training, then you get a job and that equals security or comfort. Okay, other authors like T. Harv Eker and Robert Kiyosaki kind of blew that formula out of the water for me. And one, I began to evaluate my results. Did I want security or comfort, or did I want enough money? Did I want more than enough? Did I want wealth? Did I want financial independence or financial freedom? So you reverse engineer the thing and say, well, education plus job, it might get you security and comfort if you're a good advisor and you do it for 40 years and go to work every Monday through Friday, et cetera. But if you want bigger goals like financial independence, well, you gotta reverse that. And that formula probably will not work. You gotta come up with a new formula. So in the course, I help people think about that. What's your formula currently and what do you want it to be? One of the ways you do that is keep the end in mind and change your ultimate goals.
I think so.
That helps tremendously.
Yeah. I think one of the things that we've done, both Dave Ramsey and G5T, and we did Dave Ramsey twice, I think. And when we did Dave Ramsey, I felt like it was about the rules. And Erin and I, there was a lot of tension in how those rules got worked out. Yeah, like, right. No, there should be $15 in that envelope every month. Why is there not $15 in that envelope? I'm like, well, because I used it to to get the oil changed because I had to. And the thing that was different about— and I felt that way with Dave Ramsey. I was like, okay, this— we had already started hemorrhaging money from medical stuff when we went through Dave Ramsey. And I remember them saying, like, at the time, I think he said, like, your medical expenses should not exceed 7% of your monthly income. And ours were at, like, 32%. And I'm like, Okay, how does this work? Like, I can't control this expense in my life, right? And it keeps reoccurring. How do I live above this? Like, and again, coming back to this is just basic math and the numbers don't add up. Well, when we went through G5T, it was so healing for our marriage because we had— it wasn't about $15 being in that envelope and $40 being in the other one. It was about, okay, this is not our fault in a sense, but it is our responsibility and we're the only ones who can change it. We have to figure this out because living this way is unacceptable to me long term.
Yeah. And it wasn't Dave. It wasn't Ramsey. It was— it wasn't another program. It wasn't the real estate program. It had to be individual to us. And G5T enabled us. To really focus on what that could look like.
Well, and they— one of the other things too that we like learned is the first step to getting what you want is knowing what you want. And what— yes, what we were saying, what Aaron was saying and doing repeatedly in his behavior was saying, I want this job to provide for us. And that job could never provide for us in the time frames that we have, the energy that we want to give. All of that stuff. So, but it takes an immense amount of confidence and emotional strength to step back and acknowledge that what you're doing is not working. And I think that's where a lot of people get stuck, or they blame each other.
They do, Sarah. And that's— they, they don't understand how their blueprint is limiting them and filtering out some stuff that can really help them, some information and knowledge that could really help them. And so, you know, I love Dave Ramsey. He's had a great influence. God has used him mightily. And, uh, but frankly, when I took his course even, and when I pastored, I had him into our church 3 or 4 or 5 times as far as the seminar. I sensed that he was maybe talking to audiences that had more money than my church average congregant had, with all the envelopes and getting out of debt, all good stuff, okay, but it takes a certain degree of discipline. And what I realized through G5 training was that most people, in my opinion, couldn't do the best practices that Dave was recommending. Now, they were good practices— the envelopes, getting out of debt, snowball your debt, all these things, right? Have insurance, etc. Most people didn't make enough to do all that. Most people didn't have the discipline to do all those best practices, and they needed— so I tell people that G5 training in my course Financial Freedom Inside Out is pre-Dave Ramsey. It's foundational to Dave Ramsey. It's complementary to Dave Ramsey.
Totally.
Because, you know, I'm not against Dave Ramsey. He's doing a great work, but I don't believe what he's saying.
He—
a lot of people need to make a lot more money, whether you're chronically ill or not. Even the non-chronically ill need to make quite a bit more money, and most people are not free enough internally to even set a bigger goal. To say my goal is financial independence, my goal is financial freedom, my goal is I don't want to be stuck with a job. Most people are not free to do that. Okay, so I think G5 Training helped me, helped you guys say this is the goal. We want to monetize our words, we want to have more than enough, we want to meet our medical needs and our kids' medical needs, and we're free to dream big. There was no guilt And in the Christian community, this is the problem. Like my friend who— there's a lot of guilt and a lot of shame if you make too much. If you don't make enough, there's guilt with that. And if you make too much, whatever that too much is in your own mind, you feel guilty about that. So you see how a lot of Christians are really stuck because they're not feeling good because they're barely paying the bills, and they're not feeling good because maybe they make more than the average person they know in their church, and they feel guilty about that. So it's all I'm sorry, it's all screwed up. Yeah, the thing— the thinking is wrong. The thinking is not wise. The thinking is not helpful. The thinking— it's not spiritual. But most people I know in the church think it's spiritual. That's a problem.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And this— I mean, we're talking specifically to Christians, but We know that that applies to most Americans. I mean, all these principles are all things that we have all, in a sense, all Americans grow up thinking.
Right.
Well, and—
Yeah. Let me add to that, Sara. One of the things I do is we go through internal formulas. One of the— your blueprint, you can put a formula to your blueprint, okay? And identify the core parts of it and identify what your end is. Is your end security, comfort, getting by, making a living, or is it financial freedom, financial independence? And then you've got a formula that's helping get to where you are. Jesus said, "Be it done to you according to your faith." And so whether you're in the faith community or the Christian community or not, you have a formula that you've been operating by. And it may be the common one is education plus job equals security. Or comfort. But there's all kinds of facets of that, and there's all kinds of different formulas that frankly can be much more healthy than that formula. That's the tried and true formula in America, but it's not working as well nowadays for financial reasons, economic reasons, etc. That formula is not working as well as it used to.
Well, and I was gonna say that you, you brought it up. That we live in a different economic era than we did even 15 years ago. It is a lot harder to, you know, we weren't paying $1,500 a month for medical insurance 15 years ago.
Right.
5 years ago.
5 years ago, we weren't paying that. And that's an expense. And the reality is, is we do not live in the same financial era that our grandparents grew up in and even that you guys grew up in.
Right. That's one of my big points, Sarah, as I speak, when I get opportunity, is this is not your grandfather's economy. My grandpa Clem was a carpenter back in the '50s and '60s. He made at max $15 an hour. I don't think he made that much. My dad ran the local gas station. He maxed at $30 an hour. I don't really think he made that much. I mean, $30,000 a year. Grandpa, $15,000. Dad, $30,000. When I was in my 40s and 50s, I was making about $60,000 a year. Each generation was doubling its income. But we were living the same lifestyle, you know what I'm saying? So, and my son and you and Aaron, you know, literally, if you have a family and you have basic needs, you want to live in a nice house and drive a couple of cars, you probably need to be making $100,000 to $120,000 a year in your prime earning years. Well, think about my grandchildren are at the rate we're going, they're going to need to make $240,000 a year. So we need to make, you know, there's economic reasons for this, etc. And I believe Americans got spoiled in the 1900s by a booming economy. And but then Nixon took the dollar, the gold backing off the dollar, and the game has changed. And now it takes a lot more money. Most families now have two incomes that covers some of the shortfall. But now people are scrambling to, you know, a job pretty much equals just making it. So if you want to, you know, whether you're chronically ill or not, most people probably want to move to the right, make more money, feel the need to make more money, but they're not free internally to do it.
And that internal game is so huge. It's so, so huge because I've mentioned it before, but to me, I really go back to one of my main blueprints was being responsible and what that meant. And so when you think of being responsible, that means keeping your expenses on the low end, right? Or technically that's what it meant to me. So even for us to be living in a house in Rio Rancho for $1,000 a month and then be living in our house in Woodland Park for $2,000 a month, that to me felt irresponsible. In my old blueprint. When you step back and realize, nope, we're putting ourselves in a different environment, we're opening up different doors of opportunity, uh, different school districts that meet our different kids' needs. Like, there's all these layers that don't get accounted for that are tied to finances and wealth, right?
Right.
And I think that a lot of people aren't even free to think about that.
They're not, Sarah. They're not free. They're not free to think about that. They, they have a limit. Like my friend, his limit's $100,000. Most of us have a generational limit. And if you're fortunate enough to go to a seminar or be around some people that don't have limits like that, maybe you'll change. But that's what I do in G5 training, is I help you understand why you have the limits you have. Are they helpful and are they healthy? Whether you're in the church community or not, either way, is your formula helpful and healthy? Is it going to result in your best life? And frequently, I'd say for most of us, it doesn't. And here's the deal: we don't— we aren't even aware of it. We're not aware of why it's unfolding in our life financially the way it's unfolding. We just are uneducated. We're ignorant. Uh, we're— we have a blueprint and we're biased about it, and we— so we, we filter out things that don't fit our blueprint.
It's scary to try to build your best life. It really is, because I think it brings up the whole topic of failing. And people think that— now, don't go quit your job based on what we're talking about if you don't have another job, uh, to start a company. But the whole aspect of, um, having the conversations of what is our best life, do I deserve to live that best life? How do I build that best life? And I think for Aaron, just the process of wanting more was so intimidating when your basic needs are already not met, especially with a chronic illness. You just have needs that go unmet. It's really hard to think above survival. And so I think that was one of the big things. Like, it took us a couple years to figure out what we wanted.
Yeah.
Right. And, and that's why I don't promise specific financial results from my course. That would be, that would be stupid of me, really. It would be unwise of me because you have to— what I say is that I help people create personal pathways to financial freedom. So it's personal to you. You can't— you shouldn't be doing what I do. Other people like you, Sarah, aren't going to start a podcast and a Fight Heal Live company and But it doesn't matter. They've got gifts and skills and passions. For most of us, we have submitted those passions and gifts and skills and the dreams, we've submitted them to a financial formula that equals security and comfort. And so then we are oftentimes, we're locked into an education plus job equals security and comfort. And it may work out for some Americans. It's not working out more and more and more. For more Americans and they don't know what to do about it. They have no clue except to what? Get more education, work more hours, change jobs, add a job. See, they go back to their formula. They go back to their financial formula. Oh, I need to get a master's. I need to get a doctorate. And you know, for some that may be true, but for many you're gonna accumulate $20,000, $40,000, $60,000, $80,000 in debt. And it's not gonna result in enough increased income to overcome that. And plus, if your goal is security and comfort, most of us haven't really defined that. And, and so you may or may not hit your mark. So I try to help people evaluate that whole internal psychological formula that's going on, disrupt it, number one, and, and, and then you can get on a path of growth and development and you're free to dream again. So that to me, I get all super excited about this because I see it in my own life. I'm seeing my adult kids have all captured in a sense that they have a blueprint from me and they're working it, they're resisting it, they're disrupting it, okay? And they all have been free to set their own goals, and that's super cool.
Yeah, Don, it really is. And, you know, we started out this segment talking about how to start from the negative, and really the program of of G5T training is the picture came to mind is you're teaching us how to fish, not giving us a fish. Like, it's not a program that's just going to provide one fish. You're teaching us the fundamentals of fishing so that when we— because each one of our fishing holes is different. My fishing hole looks totally different. I have to know that and understand the principles of fishing in order to approach my fishing hole. And really, G5T is really that, that program of teaching us how to fish. And that is how you get out from the negative, because your fishing hole looks a certain way. You have to understand the principles of how to fish.
Well, right, that, Aaron, that's a great illustration. I gotta add one point to it, and I do it, yeah, when I speak, is this: yeah, you know, give a person a fish, you can eat for a day. Teach him to fish, he can eat for a lifetime. But what G5T does is frees you up to even contemplate buy the freaking lake.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. That was my conclusion at the end of G5T. I was like, forget this, dude, buy the lake and start selling fishing poles and stock that sucker. That was what I was like. Oh yeah, okay, this is—
that's awesome. So I just want your clients to know I mean that, that, you know, yeah, I can help you get in the game to, you know, learn how to fish, if you will, by changing your internal psychology. But it also frees you up to dream. And if your dream is to buy the lake or buy 100 lakes, so be it. You have the potential to do that.
Awesome.
Yeah.
