A leader's effort sets the ceiling for their team. If you give 100%, your team will match that energy. If you coast at 10 or 20%, don't expect them to go all in.

Don't underestimate what this takes. Don't think that just because you go to the studio and you make a video or two that you're doing the lion's share of the work, that you're doing the heavy lifting. You are not. You're not. And if you hire somebody to help you because you've got a budget, just know that no one, no one is going to work harder than you. And your team is going to react to you. So if you're giving it 100% effort, your team is going to give it a lot of effort. I can't say they're going to give it 100%, I don't know your team, but if you're only giving it 10 or 20% because you got a family you're spending time with and you've got a lifestyle— oh, I go to— got to go to karate practice, and oh, I'm playing pickleball 3 times a week— if you're not committed, please don't expect your team to be committed.
