And can you share with us one thing you think that is critical to your success? There's another question from Bohr. So can you share with us one thing you think that's critical to your success? That is, you won't be as successful as you are right now without this thing? I think a couple. I mean, I think optimism is really important. Like, I think I wake up every day believing that that day will be better than the day before. And that's true regardless of if the day before was the best day ever or the worst day ever. It doesn't matter. I think entrepreneurs and I think freelancers are entrepreneurs. So I think that, you know, we are optimists because you're trying to change the world. The world. You're trying to improve. Improve things. Whether it's copy conversions, you're trying to, you know, help things to grow. You're. You're like a gardener, right? You're watering plants and trees. But these are. These plants and trees are businesses or offers or things like that. You're trying to help them grow. So viewing yourself well, looking at things from an optimistic lens is important. Believing that you. Believing in yourself, right? And that you can do almost anything. I mean, it sounds really silly, but, like, what I mean is, like, early on, talked about this before, people will be like, really early on, I was freelancing, and people would be like, can you build websites? And like, yeah, for sure. It'll be like $2,000 or whatever. And they'd be like, okay. I'm like, all right, awesome. And then I'm like, how to build a website. And I taught myself WordPress and built a website. So it wasn't like, I don't know how to build a website. What if the website's not good enough? What if it sucks? It was like, I saw the website they had currently, and it's like, their website now is awful. They made it, like, using GoDaddy's, like, drag and click editor. I'm like, I bet I can find a better one. Or I bet I can find someone for a thousand dollars, pay them to write it or to create it and keep a thousand dollars. I'm now the project manager, right? SEO. Like, guess what? SEO is really not that complicated, right? It's like, go find a guy and doing SEO. Start doing that stuff. That's what I did. I had clients, like, attorneys ranked number one in their city. I ranked number one for crowdfunding campaign manager. Like, crowdfunding campaign help, all this stuff. Like, I ranked for all these keywords and wants to be an SEO. In a way, I kind of missed it because it was honestly super easy and it was like, wake SEO is a super competitive thing already. I just basically followed free information I found online. I even bought a product on it and I was ranking people. Affiliate marketing for my supplement company was like, oh, affiliate marketing is a big deal. First year, did a million dollars in revenue, lost $200,000. Second year, finally jumped into affiliate marketing and grossed $23 million and netted a couple million dollars. Wasn't that hard. So the attitude is always like, oh, I've never done this before, right? Like, you know, so what? And it's the same thing with like, with copy too. Oh, like a client, you know, wants to me to write for them, but they're in this niche and I've never written for before. All right, great. Who cares? Go find stuff that's already working in that niche, Apply RNBC to it, you know, model off of it and write it, you know? And I mean, the thing too is like, most 95% of people out there are doing a shitty job at everything they do. You got me? This is my rant answer. But it's a good answer, right? And it's true. 95% of people out there are doing a shitty job at whatever it is they're doing. Copywriters, people who are building businesses, funnel builders, designers, everything all across the board, salespeople, follow up, customer service. They're phoning it in, they're clocking it in, they're being lazy sometimes they're self sabotaging. They have mindset issues. Whatever it is, they're not actually good at what they do. So, like, your bar is not like, I'm pretty new. These people all been doing it for a long time. So that means I will. It'll take me forever to catch up. It's like, I'm pretty new. These people are all doing it for a long time and because of that, they've gone fat, happy, complacent, or they're just sort of barely hanging on, but they're not good. So if I focus on being the best and really deliver and value and find a way, I can leapfrog them super fast. That was always my mentality. I was like, I'm not trying to go to here, I'm trying to go to here. And it was easy, right? Customer service, like, as in with your clients, like openly communicating, proactively communicating with them, right? Like getting things on time, showing up on time, doing your research before a call, not assuming stuff like the I see at the highest levels all the time, I see people get paid 25. I know someone recently who basically got paid like $50,000 for, like, some to do some copy. They literally have had one thing left to do to collect on the $50,000, and it's been like six months, and they just like, basically never did it and never collected half of the payment. And so they get this thing is like. It's like writing four emails or some shit like that. It's not four months, but it's like, like an upsell or something really simple that they could collect like $25,000. They haven't even done it. So even though they're like a good copywriter, the client will never work with them again. You come in and you actually deliver on time. Client's very likely to work with you again. So, yeah, just like, optimism, not being afraid of opportunities, like believing that you can do it, believing in yourself, and then, yeah, being a professional. And like, those are the things that, you know, it really is all the little stuff that seems so simple and yet that goes tremendously far away.
