Car wash confession time again. I'm going to see how much business advice I can give you in the time it takes to get washed. So I want to share with you guys, you will never be ready. We're always waiting for the right time, for the right opportunity. We're waiting for us to be ready. But the truth is, we're never going to be ready. I don't know about you, but I have to put things on the calendar because leaders are those who know how to take action. They're those who know how to make strong decisions, and they are those who know how to prioritize their And yes, this is going to mean you may need to put off watching Netflix for a day or watching that movie or binging on your TikTok or binging on your phone, scrolling through the things, because that which is priority is going to be the thing which you get to focus on. So often people are going to say, guys, this used to be me because I had a leadership issue, an issue with time management. So what is it that you're saying yes to in this moment that maybe you shouldn't be saying yes to? What is it that you would take away from your life? And I'm not saying the priorities like your kids, your relationships, your spouse, those priorities, those are musts, right? But what is it you could take away from your life that is going to give you so much more, that is going to add value, that is going to add benefits to your company, to your business, to your bottom line, and to your confidence? Because it's by taking action, it's by completing those little tasks and those little things and being the leader that you know you are, That is how you gain confidence. That is how you become ready, and that is how you learn to be the person who takes action even when they don't feel like it, even when they're not quote unquote ready.
