The truth is that we are going to say things to ourselves that we would never say to another person because we know it would cause them injury and pain. So here's what I want to ask you. Why are you saying that stuff to yourself? It takes work. It takes practice. It takes learning a different way. It takes asking yourself a better question. But entrepreneurs, you've heard it from each other. Like, it's not even just something I'm saying. Like, we have a tendency to judge ourselves very hardcore. I have made significant mistakes in businesses with big zeros. I have made those mistakes. They taught me some very valuable lessons that prevented me from making that same mistake twice. But I just want you guys to kind of marinate on the fact that you're in an environment, you're in an immersive environment with fellow entrepreneurs, people who are building businesses or have desires to build a business. Either way, you're in a position now to listen and open your heart up to things maybe you haven't heard before.
