What do you ask yourself? What do you want this million for? What do you think it will do for you? I could boil that down into people want to feel joy, they want to feel fulfillment, and they want to have a sense of safety. So if that's what you're really after, then what you do is put your attention on some what you want to do as an entrepreneur is make a difference in the world. So what aspect of your area that you're focusing on are you committed to? And go for that. And I promise you, the stuff will come, and this time the money will come. But there'll be a sense of joy and fulfillment. And the safety you're looking for from that million will come, but it'll be coming from a completely different place than you just going after the money. Absolutely.
