Pros and Cons of Entrepreneurship (#FIREHOUR S4, E7)
In this live‑style FIRE Hour episode, hosts Crystal and Sean lead a community‑driven discussion on the full spectrum of entrepreneurship. They begin by inviting participants to name the downsides of being an entrepreneur, then explore five major challenges: financial uncertainty, work‑life balance and burnout, risk and fear of failure, loneliness, and the emotional toll of rejection. For each challenge they share personal anecdotes (e.g., Crystal’s loss of her father, a single‑mom’s need for income), practical mitigation strategies (free‑to‑start business models, budgeting, mental‑toughness, leveraging AI, building a supportive community), and mindset shifts (viewing challenges as growth opportunities, humility, resilience). The conversation then pivots to the upside of entrepreneurship—time freedom, uncapped earning potential, creative control, impact, continuous learning, and personal fulfillment. The hosts and chat participants enumerate the traits they believe successful entrepreneurs need (discipline, resilience, adaptability, networking, resourcefulness, humility, etc.) and stress the importance of surrounding oneself with like‑minded peers, attending events like Thrivepalooza, and using AI tools for efficiency. Throughout, the tone is conversational, supportive, and motivational, with a sentiment that balances realistic acknowledgment of hardships with enthusiastic optimism about the possibilities of entrepreneurship. The latter part of the episode emphasizes a "show up" philosophy: the critical decision to attend events, classes, gyms, or any growth opportunity, framing regret as missing out rather than failing. Crystal and Sean argue that showing up is the first step; the rest—financing, planning, execution—can be figured out later. They highlight the opportunity cost of not attending, the value of self‑investment as one's greatest asset, and the empowerment that comes from consistently choosing to be present for oneself and one's future.
Chapters
Hi you guys, how are you guys? Happy Wednesday, happy Wellness Wednesday, happy Wealthy Wednesday, happy, happy FIRE Hour.
Yeah, we are, we're on episode 7. Yeah, the last, last, last episode we went over, uh, video editing and we also touched on the relationship that you have with money, like that relationship, that energy that you have with money. So To tie everything together. I'm just kidding.
All in all, baby's awake.
Baby's awake. We might have to get the baby.
Who's we? Me?
Yeah. I mean, I can get her. So today's episode is going to be on Crystal's idea of entrepreneur struggles, right?
Yeah. I think that's what we talked about last night. We talked about, you know, the, the struggles of being an entrepreneur. But I also don't just want to talk about the struggles. For sure, there are always struggles, but there are always strategies to those struggles. And there is always the brighter side, right? Like there's always the positive and there's usually a lot more positive if you look in that direction than there is negative, right? But that's not to say that every day is you know, you're not going to face challenges. And to me, what I see as challenges, I see as, you know, a chance to really grow and a chance to be able to get to know yourself in the ways that maybe you might not be exposed to on like an everyday type of situation, right? So let's talk about some of the downsides, right? We're about almost 5 minutes in. I think most people are in. The downsides of entrepreneurship. So these calls are for leaders, it's for entrepreneurs, whether you're a beginner, um, you're intermediate, you are advanced, um, it's for everyone, right? Because we all go through the same struggles. And most of the time, even if you're a— you are an advanced entrepreneur, you will still face the same things that you did in the beginning of your journey that maybe you forgot thought about the solutions, or maybe you were like, I haven't felt this or went through this in a long time, so it's interesting to be able to have that come up again and to be able to be reminded, right? And so can you guys name some of the downsides of being an entrepreneur? Anyone, just pop it in the chat. Any downsides that maybe you currently face, you have faced, um, and you— or you think maybe you will face, right?
Talk about, yeah, like what, yeah, what do you think, huh? So one of them is not working 40 hours a week, right? Instead, you're working sometimes 80 to 120 to 140 hours a week, right? That may be a downside. I don't know. Maybe like that's the wrong word, huh? Downsides, struggles, uh, challenges.
Struggles, challenges, challenges.
I think on another frame too is Like for every problem, there's a solution, right? So no matter what, like if you can think of a problem, like the framework, if you can think of a problem, then automatically, like there is a solution. It's just that sometimes we don't know what the solution is until like we, you know, we come across like insight until we come across like a, you know, someone who's already done it. Right. So I think that, um, you know, There's, there's not that many challenges.
Don't even with me right now. Downsides. Okay, so let's go just through a few of them. Um, financial uncertainty. So when you start out as an entrepreneur, I think one of the major things that come across most people's minds is, um, the finances, right? So if you have a job, um, you know what to expect, when to expect it, and what you need to do in order to get what you need to get, right? And so when you're starting entrepreneurship, you don't know what finances are going to come in. Sometimes you don't even know what finances are going to go out. So for me, like, I, I'm really huge on finance, on personal finance and business finance, right? So I learned more of the business finance when I started learning about personal finances, because it's the same thing, um, it's just amplified and, uh, you're put in a bigger risk, bigger risk situation depending on the business that you go in, right? So financial uncertainty, um, instability, and not knowing like what's going to happen, and especially the beginning stages, can be one of the challenges that new entrepreneurs face, right? And so typically when I look at a business, I look at the finances, I look at what's to be expected to go in and what's expected to be going out, right? And so I always calculate what is expected because at the end of the day, you still need to pay your bills. You still need to make sure you're okay. And if you have kids, you have a higher level of responsibility for dependents who literally depend on you for a living, right? And so I think that in entrepreneurship, financial uncertainty is one of like the greatest challenges that most people will face. So if you have free opportunities like the one that we do have, right, with Thrive, it's, it's great. Um, one of the first things that I thought about was when I first started that this specific business was, you know, how much do, how much money do I need to put in? Like how much money do I need to put in upfront and how much money do I need to put in on an annual or monthly basis, right? And Jackie was like, it's free. If you don't want to buy anything, you can't buy anything. You can't afford to buy anything. You don't need to buy anything. You can get your products for free, right? And for, you know, the Cloud Office, it's free. And so there are not many, too many opportunities out there in business where everything's free, right? And so if you are new to entrepreneurship, why not start in the area where it costs you nothing, right? Like you can start making money without having to spend anything or having to maintain anything. Um, the best things in life are free, right? And so that's one of the challenges in entrepreneurship is not knowing what you're gonna pay, what you're gonna get back. And so if you could start with something that's free, that doesn't cost you anything, and you're just putting in your sweat equity, which is like a form of payment, then why not? Um, So the next, the next challenge of entrepreneurship, which I get asked about a lot, is the work-life balance, right? And so a lot of people struggle to find a balance between their work and their personal life. And sometimes that leads to burnout because when you are, um, when you are self-employed, you're an entrepreneur, like the clock never stops, right? So from the moment you open your eyes to the moment you close them, you think about your business very often because it's up to you to make sure your bills are paid. And not only do you have your bills now, but you have a business's bills, right? And so the work-life balance can be a struggle. Um, what do you guys do? What do you guys do to maintain that balance? I know some people say there really isn't a balance to be had. Um, and, and I want to say, like, it's true, right? Like, it took me a long time to be able to figure out, like, what I needed to do in order to, like, not lead myself to burnout, because I'm just the type of person where I can just work. I can work from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed, 7 days a week, right? But when you have a family, you have a home, you have children, you have other things in life that need to get done, you have to carve out time, right? So I don't know what you guys do, but please feel free to share any tips with each other or to share with me, like, what do you guys do? Um, what do you think of work-life balance? Um, and, and how do you create that, right? So that is definitely one of the challenges, um, in being an entrepreneur. Like, your mind never really shuts off and you're always thinking about the business because you go into this place of uncertainty, right? Not only are you uncertain in the financial aspects of it, you're uncertain whether or not, you know, your business is going to survive or if you have what it takes to make it survive, right? And so, which leads into the uncertainty and the risk, right? So when you deal with an unpredictable nature of being an entrepreneur and entrepreneurship as a business, there is a lot of risk, right? You're taking a risk. You're putting your face out there. You're putting yourself out there and you're telling people, this is what I'm going to do. This is what I'm going to start. This is what I'm passionate about, and I'm just gonna go for it. And, you know, most people, they may not be cut out for it. They may not understand it. Like, they want stability. They want a job to be able to fall back on. They don't want to think about overhead or how to make payroll or what taxes are coming up, or if someone doesn't show up, who's going to get that role fulfilled, right? Um, so I would say uncertainty, a lot of uncertainty, and taking that risk to be able to put yourself out there to do something that maybe you've never done before, or maybe you're new that, right? Sometimes it's hard for us to face these things because in, you know, like in a job, there's, there's a lot of uncertainty, but there's a lot of certainty in a way, right? Sometimes it's portrayed as certainty, like it's stability, but, um, I don't, I don't know, like one day you could be in and the next day you're out, and what are you gonna do, right? Um, so yes, this is actually good if you want to always have that hunger. Take calculated risks. Yes, calculating your risk. What's the upside and what's the downside of the opportunity that you're getting involved in, right? You— and especially if, if, if you're a mom, if you're a dad, if you have dependents, there is another level of calculating the risk of what you're doing, what you're getting involved in, and, you know, having your partner in line with you if you do have a partner. Let's see the next The next challenge, uh, another challenge that I see often is loneliness, right? Like, you feel isolated and, like, as you navigate, like, the challenges of being your own business owner because sometimes you're, you feel you're a solo founder, you're on your own, right? And so the lucky thing about being in this community is that we have each other to lean on, right? Like, and you're usually won't get that type of support in other businesses unless you founded the business with somebody else and you have business partners, right? Because you have other people to talk to and to rely on. And so sometimes entrepreneurship is a lonely road. And let's say like, yes, you have this community, but at home, do you have a partner who supports your dreams, who supports your visions? Because not all of us have partners that support our dreams and support our, support our visions. And it's not necessarily because they don't want to, it's because they're uncertain about the the risks that you're facing. And at the end of the day, like, you know, um, there's bills to pay, right? And if something happens, like, what are you gonna do? And so being an entrepreneur, it can be very lonely because sometimes people don't understand the ups, the downs, the struggles. They don't understand, you know, why sometimes you can't go out, you won't go out, right? Because you're just so focused on your goals and your dreams and your visions and making sure that, like, you have things in line that when you do go out one day or when you do go out more often, like everything is running, right? Everything's running for you. You have a system in the backend. So at least when you are out, when you are networking and making connections, like, you know, your business is still working for you, or that is just the part of the frontend of your business that you're working on when you're out, right? Um, another thing, I think this is huge. I don't know about you guys, but how many of you guys have challenges with facing rejection and failure, right? Does anyone get rejected? Does anyone fear— have the fear of failure or like, you know, have people think that, you know— Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. We have a special guest today. So I think that a lot of people, they have a rejection and a fear of failure. If you don't have that resilience in you and you don't have a very strong why and you're not in a point of so much pain, you will have that, you know, you will have rejection, you will have failures. But as an entrepreneur, it's not how many times you fall, it's not how many times you get rejected, it's not how many times you fail at doing something that you thought you could do. It's how many times are you willing to get back up? How many times are you willing to be able to put your face out there, to put your name behind things in order to do it again? Right. And what I've seen time and time again is that sometimes when, when there's a little bit of adversity faced or a little bit of rejection or that failure, the little failures, the big failures, whatever, people just quit. They just quit. And it's like, these are your goals and dreams you're quitting on. It's not, it's not necessarily a business. It's, it's, it's what you want out of life, right? And so being an entrepreneur, you've decided to take that challenge, to take that chance to be able to do something for yourself and maybe to be able to do something for your family. So if you quit just because you've got a little bit of rejection or you failed at doing something that you thought you were going to do great, like you have to just get back up again. So those are just a few things that I can think of off the top of my head about challenges when you're facing entrepreneurship. Maybe some of you go through it, maybe some of you don't go through it. It just really depends on, you know, your own journey, right? Like maybe you faced all of that in the beginning of your journey. Maybe you haven't faced it yet, but there comes a point in time where you may or may not face these things, right? And it's just a part of it. It is just a part of it. Entrepreneurship is not made for everyone, but if you can be a part of a business with a group of support where there's little risk, where people have been there, done that, and they can support you and guide you through it, then you're in a much better position than like the traditional businesses, right? Um, so those are some of the challenges that I would say like entrepreneurs face. And, um, now the ups, because there are a lot of ups and there are more ups than there are challenges. There are a lot more advantages and a lot more, um, a lot better things on the other side, right? Yes. Okay, so I'm just reading the chat real quick. People need me. I cannot give up. Work on mental toughness. We have to keep pushing through. Rejection. Rejection is redirection. Yes. Thank you. You guys are so awesome. Yes. You really have to be mentally tough. So if you were to ever face rejection, it's not that people are rejecting you. It's not no forever. It's just, it isn't for me. I don't understand it. I'm unsure of it. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It has, it has nothing to do with you. It really does not. And so you have to start just preparing to be mentally tough to be able to go through that thing. And during these times, it's really important to remember why you started, where you're going and where you know you will be, right? Like you kind of have to just push through these things. And yes, sometimes it gets tough, but you're tougher. Yes, every no leads to a yes. And it really does, you know, like look for people that are looking. Some people are not looking or some people just don't know. So Anna says, having a solid morning routine to pump yourself up for the day. I usually have solo dance parties while I get ready. I love that. I love that dancing is a really good form of like, um, just getting that extra energy out, right? Um, I love morning routines. I really do. Um, okay. So now we're going to go over, let's go over what are the positive things, right? What are the positive things about being an entrepreneur? Like what are all the good parts and what are the things that you went in for, right? Because no one wakes up one day and it's like, I'm going to be an entrepreneur and I'm going to put myself in a position where I can fail and get rejected and lose money. And no one ever thinks that, right? So what we always think is like, I want this to change. I want that to change. I want this for my family. I want this for myself. I want to challenge myself. So can you guys name why you wanted to start to become your own entrepreneur? Why you wanted to start to go into business for yourself? Like, what are some of the reasons where— and sometimes you're pushed by pain, right? Sometimes you are pushed by pain, or sometimes you were just inspired to like want to do more. I hated not getting approved for time off. Yes, huge, huge, right? Time freedom, time freedom. But I work harder now. Yes, yes, so true. You give up that 40 hours sometimes to work 60, 80 plus.
Yeah, but there's— that's where automation comes into play.
The loss of my father pushed me to do better for myself and my family. I definitely hear you on that one. Um, I actually was pushed into entrepreneurship a lot harder. Um, when my father passed away, um, I was already dabbling a little bit and I had already, you know, left the business. And when he passed away, I was like, I am on my own for real, for real. Um, what else? I wanted to help people. That's always, that's always a really, really great way to be an entrepreneur. And yes, being responsible for others, right? Like when you lead others onto this path, you can't give up on them. It's so easy to give up on yourself, but it's not easy to give up on your family, your friends, your community, right? Like people will quit themselves, they'll quit the business, but they will never quit on the people that they love and the people that are around them, right? They won't quit on the community. It's much harder. Um, what else? Same. Yep. So I would say for me, one of the things of going into entrepreneurship, why I wanted to go into it, was independence. Um, I wanted my freedom. You know, like how you guys said, like, you didn't want to ask for time off. Same. Um, I did not like asking for time off because I'm like, this is my time. Like, why do I have to ask for time off? But I understand, right? Like, because I'm also a business owner where people ask for time off. And when people ask for time off, like, it affects the business, right? Um, which is why you should have a backup plan. But having the freedom to be able to do what I want when I want, with whom I want was huge for me. It's so huge for me. And growing up, I didn't have that freedom in a way. My dad was extremely strict. And so I was used to kind of having this like extreme control over me. And so one of the reasons why I wanted to be an entrepreneur, I've always wanted to make my own money and never depend on a man was because I needed freedom of my own life, right? And so that could also fall into wanting freedom for, for your own life from an employer, right? And so being your own boss and having the freedom to make your own decisions. And I just want to stress that there's nothing wrong with having a job and having a 9 to 5. Like, I absolutely do not think there's anything wrong with that. If that's your path and that's what you like to do when you're doing what you love to do and you like the the certainty within having someone else run a business and you just going in and doing what you really, what you're really good at. Like, there is nothing wrong with that, you know. Um, these are just, you know, a part of wanting more, right? And you could always still have a job and pursue entrepreneurship on the side until you build up that business big enough to where your income is is alleviated where you have the option, you have the choice. But does that mean you have to execute on that option or that choice? That, that's really up to you, right? Like, I can't speak for your family. I can't speak for your bills. I don't know what you have in debt. I don't know what goals you have. Right. So I would never, you know, have anyone, you know, quit their job just because, you know, they found something that they're sure of and then have no backup plan. Right. So Entrepreneurship is something that you could build on the side on your own time, right? All the nooks and crannies of your day, all the times you would be watching TV or going out and hanging out with your friends for hours and hours. If you were to just build the side business during those times, instead of sometimes trying to escape from life and from the things that you don't like, you would actually be able to build something really good with that extra amount of time, right? Um, and yes, someone else said uncapped earning potential. Yes, huge side, huge side of entrepreneurship, right? Um, extra money to invest for passive income. Yes, right? And let's also not forget to work on yourself mentally, spiritually, and physically. Childhood trauma, PTSD can get in the way in unexpected ways. Yes, it totally can. But some of those things, some of those trauma things, man, they really push you. They really push you in a way that you never thought. Mine also started on survival. Single mom of 4, so I had to do something to bring in additional income to raise my kids since I didn't have financial support. And then it became an obsession. Yes, I love it. You have to be your own boss, make your own schedule, schedule your own time off, and stick to it. I don't like being told what to do or having a boss. That's what Anna said. I'm loving the chat. Thank you guys so much for interacting. It helps me a lot to see what you guys are thinking, where you guys are at, because as you see, like, we're, we're, we're all kind of on the same page, right? We're all looking for the same things, and, and we have a group of us, right? So, um, creativity. So creativity is something that I want to talk about because as an entrepreneur, I have a lot of ideas, right? And obviously ideas, they don't come to fruition until you execute on them, right? And so if you were to work in a certain place, sometimes those places, they don't give you the opportunity to bring your ideas to life, right? To innovate the industry. They don't. It's kind of like, okay, well, you just got to stick to what you need to stick to because I've drawn out the plan already and I know best, or this is how we've always done it, so nothing new. If it's not broken, don't fix, right? But as your own entrepreneur, you have the chance to be creative with what you think and what you think may or may not work. You get to test it, right? Because at the end of the day, if it doesn't work, you're either going to tweak it or you're going to, um, go back to what you were originally doing. So creativity is one of those things. Um, And when I'm in a place where I can't be creative, where, um, you know, how many times has there been a time where you had an idea and you're like, hey, I think this would help the company, I think this would help the business, I think this would help us, and your boss is like, no, like just completely not open to it, right? They're not open to listening to what you have to say, they're not open to listening to your idea to see maybe it would work, right? They're just kind of just so stuck in their ways. And so when you don't have the creativity to be able to express or execute on the plan that you have because you don't have the support, that can hinder your growth, right? It can hinder your growth greatly. So being an entrepreneur, you're actually able to do those things and test it out to see if it does work, right?
So it's like if the employer is not open, then there's— there goes innovation.
Yeah. And what's happening? Innovation, right? There's, there's AI nowadays, right? If you guys are not using AI, I highly suggest you to start playing with it, to start using it, to use it as a tool to leverage your time. Um, we use it all the time, right? Um, potential for high rewards, right? Successful entrepreneurship can lead to financial success and personal fulfillment. So like what you guys said, uncapped income, right? Your income is based off of your efforts. How many times have you been passed up on a higher role although you were more qualified than the other person? Just because, just because they probably kissed butt better than you did, right? And so being an entrepreneur, you don't have that cap to your income. You don't have that cap to your status. You can be the CEO if you want to be one day the CFO the next day. Um, yep. So Carla said it happened to her. Yep. Traveling on your own terms. That was my boss, so I quit. Yeah. Um, high rewards. And so, you know, typically when you're working at a certain place, you have a certain position, and that position can only go so high, right? It can only go so high. But what if your dreams and your goals are to be able to retire your parents, or to be able to take, to take as many days off without worrying about how you're going to cover the bills with that time off, or how many days off you've already taken, right? And so I think one of the best parts of being an entrepreneur is uncapped income, right? You decide what you want to make. You decide what— the sky is the limit. The sky is your limit, but not only is the sky your limit, your mentality is also your limit, right? So, um, uncapped income is like one of the best things. And, you know, I see a lot of talented people, a lot of talented people, but unfortunately their income is capped at the position they're in, right? Unless they create— unless they up their skill sets to create another position or they become absolutely irreplaceable in their own business or in a business, that's when you're going to be able to, be able to like increase your income, right? Um, but also like how far is your business going? Like where is your business going? Where is the place that you work in? How far are they going? What is their visions for it, right? Are they just like, we're just clocking in and clocking out and that's it? Or are they like, we wanna do bigger, we wanna do better, there's room for growth maybe, right? Um, So another thing, another positive thing about being an entrepreneur is learning and growing, right? Um, how many of you want to be stuck in your old ways, never learning anything new and never growing from where you are at now? Probably no one, right? Um, life is about learning and growing, and we never stop learning and growing no matter what age we get to. And that's also the beauty of being an entrepreneur. Is that you're constantly having to learn new things, learn new skill sets. And as you learn new things and learn new skill sets, you are growing as a person because there's things that you never thought that you would learn before or have to learn. And now you have to, right? But it's a great opportunity to really push yourself to see what you're fully capable of. Um, being an entrepreneur is not for the lazy, okay? It is not for people who don't want to learn, who don't want to grow, who don't want to be challenged, who don't want responsibilities. Entrepreneurship is for people who want to learn and who want to grow and who want to be able to— you want to be able to get your own dreams, right? Like, you never want to depend on someone else to cap your income, to cap your dreams. You want to be the person that takes your vision so far that you're able to execute on anything and everything, right? Making a difference. So I know that a lot of you guys, you guys love to help people. You love to make a difference in people's lives. How great is it that being an entrepreneur and having your own business or even being a part of this community, you are able to help others grow and succeed in life? Um, I know it makes me feel good to see people become very successful. Like, it makes me feel better to see someone else just like crushing it than myself sometimes. Right? And I think that a lot of people have a very giving heart, you know? And so creating an impact within your organization, your community, your friends, your family, that means something to you. And how great is it that you get compensated for it, right? Like you can actually get your bills paid by helping others, you know? Um, I think there's nothing more rewarding than that. Um, and I know that being an entrepreneur, you have a different mindset, you have a different spirit, right? Like you want to give back and you want to see how you can do more. Um, and yes, Angela says, this is why it's not for— entrepreneurship is not for everyone, but if you're here, it means it's meant for you. You want more deep down. Empowered empath. Yes, you want more for yourself. You want more for your family. And that's why you are here. You're learning, you're growing, you're struggling, you're facing failure sometimes, you're facing rejection, but at the end of the day, like you you still get up and you still keep getting up, you know. Um, entrepreneurship is just— it's completely something different. And sometimes you didn't even think that this was your path. You didn't know that there was a path. You didn't know that there was something more out there that you could do, right? Um, you stumble into it on accident. Um, and so I want to also talk about some of the characteristics that entrepreneurs have. So can you guys name characteristics that entrepreneurs have? Like, what do you think it takes to be an entrepreneur? What kind of character do you feel that you need to become or traits that you need to have in order to, like, endure the highs and the lows? Carla says boldness. Andrea says organized. Rach says goal-driven. Alex says learn how to lose. Yes. Um, Carla, open-minded. Joanna, you guys are so good at this. Joanna says discipline. B says resilience. Yes, I cannot stress enough. Um, Anna says solution-oriented. Twin, positive mindset. Yes. Gigi, go for no. I love this. You guys know exactly what it takes to be an entrepreneur, and it's because you guys are, right? Which is why it's so easy for you guys to just name all these things because that you all are, right? Um, it takes a certain type of person. Um, nimble. Lina says nimble. Um, lifelong learner. Angela says lifelong learner. Yes. Twin says consistency. Amy says consistency. Yes, consistency. So you're also a risk taker, right? Like a huge risk taker, right? You're putting your reputation and your livelihood on the line in order to achieve something that, you know, you can achieve, right? Um, Andrea says humbleness. Yes, being humble and always remember where you came from. Remember what, you know, where you were and what you did or didn't have prior to becoming an entrepreneur, you know? Um, Anna says self-love. Yes. Carla says discomfort. Yes. Persistence. Right. Persistence is one of them. We ain't normal. That is right, Twin. We ain't normal. And thank goodness we are not normal. And we have a bunch of not normal people to do things with. Adaptability. Okay. If you cannot adapt to the seasons and to the changes in the industry, to the changes in technology, and you kind of just stay where you are, you're going to have a really hard time because the world is ever evolving and ever adapting. Thank you. Can you name some characteristics of an entrepreneur? Shani? Passion. Go-getter. Yes, Gigi. I love it here. I love it here too. What are some characteristics off the top of your head? Everybody named so many good ones, so I'm putting you in the hot seat. Because everybody named so many great ones.
Characteristics?
Yes.
Yes, you're different.
You are. And thank goodness for that, because who wants to stay the same? Creative. You're probably a leader. Most likely you're a leader and you have some leadership skills, which you will continue to develop over time. Resourcefulness. Oh my goodness. Yes, you have to be resourceful. What does resourceful mean? Resourceful means that if someone says no or something's in the way, you find a way to persist to make it through. You know, like if you have a certain goal to meet and you're just tapped out, there's always a way. If there is a will, there is a way and you will find a way, right? And so being resourceful is is huge. Being resourceful is something that has actually helped me greatly throughout my life, um, and I, I've spent a lot on businesses, but when I didn't have a lot to spend, I used a lot of sweat equity, right? Um, emotional intelligence. Yes, emotional intelligence, and that comes into self-awareness, right? Like, if you're not aware of yourself and your traits, your strengths, your weaknesses, whatever, How can you, how can you be with others, right? Uniqueness, curiosity. Angela says tolerate uncertainty, handle conflicts, cope with ups and downs, communicate effectively, build lasting relationships, and motivating others and helping others feel less stressed. Yes, I love that. I love— thank you guys so much. Like, I am having so much fun reading all these things. Let's see. Optimistic. Angela's like, waking y'all up. Yes, she is waking y'all up with them caps, with them capital, capital words. Learning how to network. Oh, and Gigi says, Angela, that's exactly what you did for me this morning. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Sorry, I'm still getting used to this no mouse thing. It's not my favorite. And so what else is there? What other characteristics, right? Like there's networking skills, right? I had to learn networking skills because I don't really like to— I don't know. I know that some of you might characterize yourself as introverts. I think to some degree, maybe we all are. There's more introverts in the world than extroverts. So really stepping out there and networking and talking to people and putting yourself out there Um, it's another skill set, right? Like without that networking skill set and putting yourself out there to make friends or get to know people, um, you really can't grow in any business, right? Because we need people, right? Like you can't be like a solo entrepreneur for that long if you don't want to grow. There's other people with different skill sets that you don't have that you're going to want on your team. Learn one skill at a time. There's so many positions. Yes, it's value in what others offer too. Public speaking is also a tough one. I know we went over it in a previous episode. Yes, I think that's like, I think that's people's number one fears. I remember hearing that so many times that, um, people are really scared of public speaking. I am actually pretty— I don't know. There's been times where I've been really scared of public speaking and there's been times where I'm like, whatever. V says, my husband said discipline. Yes, huge. You have to have so much discipline, right? Like it's all up to you to make things happen. And if you don't make things happen, like you're just not going to be put in a very good position. Public speaking. Yeah. So, um, I did public speaking a few times. You know, when we have our locals, that's the perfect time to practice public speaking. And why? And on Zooms too, right? Like you're publicly speaking on a Zoom regardless if people are there in person or not. But the things that make you scared are the things that you should do, right? And so as you keep doing it over and over and over again, you start to get better and better at it, right? We all start from somewhere. I'm actually someone that doesn't really talk a lot in front of a lot of people. Um, I know that it's, it's, it's still, it's still weird to me sometimes. Um, yes, B, he said rain, snow, shine, blizzard, it doesn't matter, I'm determined. Yes, you have to show up for your business because showing up for your business is showing up for yourself. Angela says, I am positioned to lead people. I work with people. It's important to know your place. Do you guys know your position? You, you don't need to do it all. And no, you don't. Like, you don't need to do it all, right? Like, you guys have a community of people and each person has their own strengths and their own weaknesses, right? So get to know each other's strengths and lean on each other. What makes our team great is we are all positioned to do our best in what we do. That makes a great team. Yes. Yes. And in business, it's the same thing. You do not want to be everything all at once, right? Like, you do not want to be the jack of all trades all the time because it gets exhausting, right? You want to be able to rely on other people for their strengths, and so you can double down on your strength, right? And that's how a team can go really far really fast. Um, moving together on the same mission. Yes. When you are moving together on the same mission and all of your strengths strengths are added and included in, you really align, that's when a team goes very far. Okay, Nico says, going back to networking and community going first, we were not born to be alone forever, we were born to share love. Yes. And so this is a people business, right? So we're always going to be talking to people, we're always going to be networking. And we're always going to be, you know, out there, right? And so it's a strength. It's a really huge strength. It's funny because that's how Sean and I met, right? It was networking. I guess his thing, or people called him the— what did they call you? The networking king, right? Because everyone knew him. And so that was his thing. And for me, I had just started in this business and I was like, well, I guess I got to go talk to people now. I guess I got to network now. I guess I got to get out there and actually have to talk to people. It was not my strength. I don't really do the networking thing. I learned that it was a skill that I had to learn, right? Like, if you guys know me, I'm great at one-on-ones. I love intimate conversations. I love getting to know people. On a different level. I don't like to do the small talk. I like to be like, what is your goals? How can I support you? Like, where are you at? You know? And I guess that's a part of networking. It's just more of an intimate networking, right? What else? Sean, what do you have to add? Anything, everything.
Network for the rest of your life, so you better get in it now.
Did you guys hear that? I don't know if you guys heard that. Sean, you should come here. You look so handsome. Making food. Yeah, just throw it on her tray. She's fine, Devin. You can eat yourself. Just throw it on the tray. Oh, did you give her milk?
Yeah.
Working parents. This is the beauty of entrepreneurship though, right? We get to be home with our baby. Um, I know that being with my kids was one of the most important things to me. I feel it unnatural to have to drop them off at a daycare and be away from them all day long. Um, and so this is one of the best parts I would have to say about being an entrepreneur and having your own business and creating your own time freedom. Yeah, especially as a woman or even as a father, right? Like fathers want to be around their children too. It's having the privilege because it is a privilege to be able to watch my kids grow up and to be there throughout all their milestones and know that like I'm the one teaching them, right? Like we as the parents are teaching our children what we want them to learn, right? Because you don't know necessarily what they're learning and they come to a certain age where they're past the ABCs and the 1, 2, 3s, right? There's a different mindset and there's a different mentality. And I did not learn how to become an entrepreneur in school. I started college at 16. I got my bachelor's in business. I couldn't tell you what I— I remember one thing because I took— I had a concentration in finance, future value and present value. That's what I learned.
What is it? Can you teach me? Because I don't know. Yes.
What is the future value of present money right now? Right. So the easiest example I can give is the lottery, right? Like, I don't know if you guys play the lottery. I don't. I'm not a gambler. I take my risks, my calculated risks, and I gamble in businesses because I feel like I have a, I have a little bit of an expertise in it. Um, but I don't gamble in casinos and I don't do the lottery because I have no control over that. It's a chance, right? Um, so most people when they win the lottery, usually they're like, do you want a lump sum now or do you want to take small monthly payments? But in the end, those small monthly payments will add up to the amount that you want. Or do you want to take less of that and just have a lump sum now, right? So when you do that, there is a calculation of the present value of that money now versus the future value of what you could do with that money. Does that make sense? It makes sense in my head, but, um, it makes sense.
Here's, here's another way to, to frame it. Do you want to make as much money as possible right now as an entrepreneur, as a business owner? Or do you want to make a lot more money throughout the rest of the time? Like, which one's more important?
Both.
Both for sure. But like, which one is, uh, you know, going to serve you right now? Making as much as humanly possible right now. So, I mean, that's, that's my opinion on, uh, on, uh, on the lottery. Would you rather, like, for the lottery question, Would you rather pick like the lump sum if you want, like if you want $1 billion, like in the lottery, would you pick the billion dollars like the cash lump sum now, or would you rather take like the, you know, the payout over the next like 25 years or whatever? My son asked me this last night. Yeah. So I remember talking to one of my friends about that and we were wondering like, hey, like if we ever were to win the lottery, Hey, like, first and foremost, like, I'll split some with you. I'll give you a share. That's what he said. And then, uh, the second one was, well, which one would you rather pick? Would you rather pick a lump sum, uh, upfront, or would you rather get paid out over time? But when you really think about it, you know, once you have financial independence and you have that freedom, that time freedom, you— like, there's different stages in life. So for example, when it comes to like making income. I hope this is in alignment with what you guys are talking about, but when you start to make— when you first are at a job and you don't have all your finances secure, right? Like you kind of are forced in a sense of scarcity mentally, right? Because you're only limited to how much you can actually like realistically do. But once you you like surpass that stage, right, when you start to become like financially secure, then that's when you, you start to unlock a different level of thinking because you have that room to grow. This is something that I was thinking about last night actually. Um, yeah, yeah, sorry. So this was what I was thinking last night. I was, I was asking myself this question: what's the difference between someone who is making a million dollars not even $1 million, it has to be more. Like, if someone is making like $25 million to $30 million a year, okay, and their game that they're playing is completely different than someone who's making $1 million a year, like, what is the difference between those two people, right? And, and the difference is that the person who's making $30 million a year, like, they can just play the game at a different level. That's it. They have more opportunity and more room to grow and just more, more perspective in my opinion, because they're playing at a different level. And so in order for me to understand like that, cuz this was just what I was thinking in my mind last night, I asked myself this question. What's the difference between someone who can meditate? Like, what's the difference between me? I'm, I meditate every day. Like, why can't I meditate for the entire day versus a, a monk who is meditating for the entire day, right? What, what game is the monk playing that I'm not playing? Do you see what I'm saying? Like in the environment, the position that you're in. So the monk is playing the meditation game at a completely different level than me, simply because they have dedicated their life to, to doing their practice, right? To doing their work. For me, I can, because I like meditation, like I can only allocate so many minutes to meditation per day. Day, right? Sometimes I might have only 5 minutes a day to meditate. Does that make sense? So what— so the game that I'm playing in terms of meditation is, well, I'm only playing at a 5-minute level per day, right? Versus the monk is playing at the highest level possible. Does that make sense? Just to give you contrast. So this was like something that I was thinking about last night. It's like, what is the difference between us as, you know, entrepreneurs? Well, whether you have a full-time job, you have 2 jobs, You're working on like side hustle on the side. You're building your Thrive business. You're building other businesses. Like what game are you playing? Right? What game are you playing? You're dedicated to more than just meditating. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. The game that I'm playing is I can't only just meditate all day. You know, that would be amazing, but that's not the thing that I signed up for. Right?
I'd send you to a temple to get donations.
So that, yeah, right there, it was just perspective for me. It's like, I'm just trying to, I'm trying to wrestle with these ideas for myself. Yourself, like, how can I get myself to the next level in my business? How can I get, how can I take myself to the next level in entrepreneurship? How can I take myself to the next level where I can pay my employees each 6 figures a year? Right? How can I get myself to the next level where I'm making $100 million every single year and I don't have to worry about like certain things? Like what, like how do I get there? Right? So I wanted to understand like who is playing at those levels and what type of mindset do they have? What type of mentality do they have? What type of game are they playing? Because if I can understand a little bit of what helped them get there, then I basically can start to cut my learning curve and I can also shorten the distance from, from point A to point B. So it's the same thing like with, with, I don't know if you guys are talking about this or not, but, huh, I don't know if this is in alignment with what you guys talking about, but like what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Oh.
The struggles, the strategies, the setbacks, the upsides, right? Why we do what we do, what kind of person it takes.
Yeah.
So this definitely is in alignment. And I think you brought up a good— what is it like a good metaphor of like the monk, right? Like, are you going to meditate for 5 minutes? Are you going to meditate for like 24 hours around the clock? Right. And so being an entrepreneur, are you going to be the— I'm just dipping into it. I'm just testing it. I'm kind of just seeing how things are going and working. Or are you going to go all in and put all of your effort, regardless of what happens or what doesn't happen, into it? Right. And so for me, I would say it's a huge mindset thing. It's all mindset. Honestly, you do not have to be the smartest person. And you know what? Actually, not believing you're the smartest person actually helps a lot more. Growing up, I was always told, oh, your brother's so smart. Your brother's so smart. My younger brother. You should be like your brother. He's so smart. Like, look, look, you know, like, and so I, in my mind, it was always like, okay, I'm not that smart. Okay. So if I'm not that smart, then I'm going to have to work hard. I'm going to have to work really hard and I'm going to be, I'm going to have to be extremely disciplined and I'm going to have to do my best to be as smart or as fast as, as him, right? Um, and so that actually worked in my favor because I wasn't out there thinking I'm the smartest person, I know better, I can do this and this and that better. Because when you do that, it kind of handicaps you because you're so afraid to do anything because you've pumped yourself up to be the best and the smartest person in the room that you're afraid to try anything because what if you fail? You're gonna look really bad because you went out and put yourself out there in that way, right? So you do not have to know it all. You do not have to be the smartest person around you. You actually don't want to be the smartest person around you, but you have to remain consistent and disciplined and know that you're just getting better every single day, right?
Yeah.
Mindset.
Yeah, 100% true. Yeah.
So Uh, Lena says, being laser focused and not giving up. It may take time, but it will happen and we will get there. Ego gets in the way. Have to stay humble always. Yeah. So when you are told every single day and being compared that you're not that smart, you know, like your ego is just crushed, right? So you're just like, okay, that's fine. Then I need to build myself up. How do I build myself up? Right. And also, you know, You know, back then it's like being a girl, it's like, oh, well, you're just a girl. You can only do ABC XYZ, whereas this is a boy and a boy can do all these things, right? And so I think that, um, if you put your ego in the backseat and you continue to stay humble, anything that you do, you will never be like, oh, it was supposed to be perfect. No, you just have to do it and you just have to get better and better as you go along. So mindset plays a huge part in the success of every entrepreneur. I am not who I thought I would be 10, 20 years ago. Like, I thought I was seriously like dumb, you know. Um, and yesterday I had this thought in my mind. I remember I went back in time when, you know, my dad and I were talking and he was like, you know, I would have never imagined you to be the way you are now, like running this business with me and the chief operations position. And, you know, I was like, uh, Dad, like, honestly, me neither. I thought I was really dumb because you and Mom always told me how my brother was so much smarter than me, you know? So I'm very surprised at myself, but it takes a certain mindset. It takes putting your ego to the side. It takes being humble. Where did you come from? And as many times as you get knocked down, like you have to keep getting back up, you know, like that's a part of the journey. Like nothing that you do is always going to be perfect, right? You're always going to find the imperfections even within the perfection. So mindset is huge. It is so huge on being an entrepreneur and the resilience that it takes. I've lost 6 figures in a day. I've lost 5 figures. I've lost 6 figures. You've seen it. You've helped me avoid losing close to half a million before. It takes a different mindset, you guys. And this is coming from a girl that grew up poor with holes in her shoe, you know, holes in my shoes walking in the rain. Like, you can be there and then you can be here. But it takes a very strong mindset and you do not have to be perfect. You just have to start and keep going and growing.
Yeah, 100%. Yeah. And even if you make a million dollars or $20 million or $50 million, $100 million, like, what's different? Just the number. That's it. But if you yourself don't change, if you don't do the work on yourself, then nothing's going to change, right? Just because you have $100 million or $10 million or $100,000 or whatever it is, if you don't do the work on yourself, like your mindset, you don't do personal development, all these things, then literally nothing changes, right? Because you take you with you, right? So wherever you go, you take yourself with yourself. If you make a million dollars, you become a millionaire. Well, guess what? What has changed? Have you truly changed, right? Wow, look at all this. Yeah, yeah. Perfection. Perfection is a form of self-sabotage. Stop aiming for perfect. 100%. Facts. You become complacent. Yup. Literally. Yeah. That's why it's always important. Like who you associate with is who you become. If you are, and I've been in all the rooms. Okay. I've been in the rooms where people are multimillionaires, all of them. And I'm the brokest one in the room. And literally like they're like, sometimes like I hear different stories or different like complaints, but it's like low-level complaints. It's like complaints that. That I would not have expected someone who's so successful to complain about. Right. So yeah, there is no lie in this, in any of this. Yes. Yeah, literally. So that's why, like, regardless of the number that you have in your bank account or the number that you have on your financial statements or whatever the case may be, right. The most important thing, it comes back to it because either you do it now or you do it later, but you're going to have to do it sometime. It's just a decision. Like you're just one decision away from actually doing it. So, but it's working on yourself. So you, like, personal development is a lifelong journey. Like, I, I'm pretty sure that none of us plan to die tomorrow, you know what I mean? So if we're not planning to die tomorrow, we're planning to live as long as possible, or however long you want to. Well, guess what? Like, if you're on this journey for success, for financial independence, for location freedom, for any type of life that you truly want, You're going to take you with you wherever you go. One of the clues— and success leaves clues— is why do people who are very happy, right, they are fulfilled inside, they are living their best life possible, what's the difference? It's not the number in their bank account, it's the mindset, it's the mentality, it's their personal development, it's who they are, who they became, right, through their journey. But it's the work. It takes work to do it. So if you are, and I know obviously based on the comments, like every single one of you is committed to getting better, is committed to developing the leader within, is committed to becoming the best version of themselves, right? That's what you are doing. Literally, it's right here in the comments, the proof. You guys are sharing your truth, right? You guys, every time that you comment, it's because that's a message that you, you really truly align with and that you want to verbally voice for everyone else, for the world, like, to hear, to see, to witness, to absorb, right? If you can influence, become a positive influence, and share those messages of positivity to someone else, and someone sees it, they recognize it, they, they receive it, guess what? Now the vibration that you, you spoke, that you put out there, it comes to them. And now I'm absorbing that. I'm like, all right, yeah, you're right. Like, like everything that you're saying here, like I'm absorbing it. I'm like amplifying it for myself and I'm like, all right, this is what I gotta go. This is where I gotta do. This is the, like the deep work that I got to start to start to like really take action on. Right. So yeah, there's a lot. Yeah.
I agree.
Doing the inner work is important. Work on your vibration. Mm. That's fresh.
It's energy, right?
It's energy.
Energy.
Yes. Yes. Passion over paycheck. Purpose over position. Yeah. Yes. So all these things, you know, like it's regardless of how much you make, regardless of the number, regardless of the position that you're in, right? Like no matter where you are at, right? You can always change your life. You can always change what's happening, your current situation, because it may be a problem. There's always a solution. And not only that, but we know the clues, like we have the clues, right? We just got to do the work. Work. So if you are in a position where you, you know, you, you're struggling or you're, you're challenged, like really, really challenged, that's how you feel, you're going through some trials and tribulations. Well, guess what? It's mindset. It's mentality. How do you take a step back from your situation and observe it with clarity, with the true intent of what is happening? And then from there, how do you create a plan and move forward so that way you overcome it and move on to the next thing, right? And then not only that, but for your, for your mindset. Like, what are you listening to? Who are you surrounding yourself with? What are you doing? What decisions are you making, right? Are you decide— like, are you deciding between alcohol or water? Are you deciding between hanging out with people who are toxic or people who are positive? What are the situations and doors that you're opening and moving towards? Like, what decisions are you making? Like, it's really up to you. Like, I, I have nothing bad to say about anything, but it's your life, right? You decide your destiny. You decide what changes you want to implement. You decide who you want to become in the process. You have the full control, whether you're an employee, whether you're not employed, whether you're an entrepreneur, whether you're a business owner, whether you're just trying to figure it all out like all of us are, right? So literally decide for yourself and, and really like take a step back and, and think. Like, think for yourself. Like, what type of life do you want to live? What type of people do you want to be around? What type of path do you want to take? What type of journey do you really want to be on? Like, you have the power and the control, and you have the intention that you can put out there into the world, but it's up to you. Like, you have to decide for yourself first and foremost. Don't let other people decide for you. You decide for yourself, and then from there, figure it out on the way. So Is there any last, uh, words, questions?
Um, I hope y'all bought your tickets at Thrivepalooza.
Yeah, that, that's another thing. It's like, man, we should talk about that.
You were just talking about like surrounding yourself around people who are in alignment going after the same goals. You guys, I'm still learning and I'm still growing. It doesn't matter where I'm at now. Like there's still so much more room for growth. I'm not perfect. I'm not the smartest, you know, but every day I try and I try my best and I do my best to get better. And so surrounding yourself around people who are in alignment with the same goal, with the same energy, with the same heart is so important. And so I was just looking at the date. It's February 21st. And, um, it's less— a little less than 2 months away. So take that chance on yourself. Give yourself the opportunity because when you feel the energy there, it is like no other. We have people that are on here that went from not sure, hanging in there to full out, I'm going home and I'm crushing it.
Yeah. And just to add a note, add one note to that. Okay. Okay, whether you're building the business, like the Thrive business or not, it doesn't matter. Like, I encourage every single person to go to a conference, to go to an environment where you put your position in a place where people are winning, where people are positive, they are working on themselves, they are doing their best to live their best life. Like, be around people like that, be around a community like that, get yourself involved, participate, show up.
Up.
Take action now on doing it. If you don't have the money, save up for it. Like, know your numbers, right? Know your numbers and actually do your— do the work to save and then buy it. You know, you're not going to regret going, I'll tell you that. You're not going to regret getting yourself into an environment, into a position where you can win, right? You never know who you're going to meet there who can possibly just influence you to change your life, right? I'm telling you right now, like, that's what's happened for me, right? It's not just at Thrivepalooza. It's like at all the conferences I've ever been to, I've always taken a golden nugget. I've always like left that place feeling better. I've always gone somewhere. I didn't even— when I didn't want to go, even when I didn't want to show up, just like the same thing, not even just in business, like in practice, right? At practice, I, I didn't want to go, or I was scared to go, or like all the fear of unknown, like from me going. You know, and then I show up and then I feel so much better, right? Crystal was always telling me that even if I don't feel like going and then I show up, I will not regret— I won't regret going. That's basically what she said.
You won't regret going, but you will regret not going.
Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Say it one more time.
You won't regret going, but you will possibly regret not going.
Yeah, 100%. And that's for everything that you do. To do. That's for if you want to learn about dancing, right? Take a dance class, show up. If you want to, if you want to learn about business, like, go, you know, get yourself, get yourself in those environments. If you want to have kids, like, have nice kids. I'm just kidding about that one. That one is more calculated.
But was it calculated?
Nico says, kind of like going to the gym. Sometimes you don't want to go, but once you go and work out, you feel so good after. Yes, 100%. That's literally exactly like the perfect example, right? That's the perfect example right there. So no matter what, like no matter what it is, just know that, you know, it's gonna— you'll feel, you'll feel like the energies, like you may be anxious, you might be excited, you might be nervous, you might be scared, whatever the case may be. You might be— you might feel empowered to go, right? Guess what? Just go. Go first and then figure it out, right? Go first and And then like really be present there, like really like play full out because you're not going to regret it. And not only that, like if you don't go, then what else are you doing? Right? What else are you doing? There's people who don't go to conferences, to lifestyle events, to places that will change their life, right? They might meet someone that changes their life and they're 5 minutes away. They're 5 minutes down the road from the event, right? Show up to blow up. Yes. Yeah, there's just, there's so much, there's so much. But do you want to miss out, right? The question is, that's for yourself, right? If people, if you really want to, if you're committed like to living your best life and creating that life for you, because you are the creator, okay? If you really want to create that life for you and you want to live it, then you know, you gotta do the things that other people are not willing to do. It's just that simple. And if it just takes like $500 or $1,000 or $2,000 for drastic life change, why not? Right? You can always make the money back, but the experience and the memories and those moments that you're gonna, that you're gonna witness, that you're gonna feel, that you're going to just remember years from now, you'll remember back. You can recall those memories and relive it again. That's what you're missing out on just for a couple thousand bucks, right? And in a few days, right? It's up to you, right? But that's, that's for everything I'm talking about. For everything, not just Thrivepalooza. I'm talking about for everything, okay? For every single event, for every single position that you can put yourself in, for every single environment that you can get yourself around, for people who are really on this path towards success, towards achievement, towards fulfillment, towards happiness, towards freedom, towards lifestyle change, towards everything that you want in your life. It's just one decision away. You're one decision away, and it's whether to show up or not to show up. That's it. That's it. Everything else you figure out on the own, okay? You figure out on your own. The finances, if you have to save up or you have to make the money, like, figure that out. But you have to decide first. It's either you're showing up or you're not showing up. And this is for everything. For the gym every single day? If you're committed to going to the gym, do you decide to show up or not show up? When you go— for me, when I'm going to a dance class, right, should I show up or not show up, right? For his FIRE hours, every single Wednesday we do our best to show up. Are we showing up on Wednesday, this Wednesday, or are we not showing up, right? Are you showing up every single day for yourself? Are you showing up for your kids? Are you showing up for your future version of yourself? Are you showing up for your future? Like, what are you showing up for? Show up to glow up. Your greatest asset and investment is you. Always show up for yourself. 100%. Okay, so this is every single day we have a decision and choice and chance of how we want to show up for ourselves first and foremost. And then from there, how do we show up for everyone else? It's me versus me. Yes. Like, It's up to you, but you got it, okay? You got what it takes. You just got to give it all that you've got, and that's it, okay? Show up for yourself. Decide, decide to show up for yourself every single chance that you can, that you can take, all right? It's— you're not going— TG says, do not block your own damn blessings. 100%, all right? That's a great way to end this call, okay? So on Fire Hour Episode 7, I think you guys You guys crushed it.
