What am God? Is this the right thing? And the very next morning that was actually just this morning, I got a call from my manager in corporate and she said, you're getting moved, you're going to be moved to a high level in marketing. 127 00:08:02,374.999 --> 00:08:03,944.998 You're going to be totally in a different area. 128 00:08:04,344.998 --> 00:08:05,845 And uh, it's been a great run. 129 00:08:05,914.998 --> 00:08:07,144.999 We've had a great run together. 130 00:08:07,144.999 --> 00:08:24,144.999 And, And I'm like, God, you are sending me these signs like it is time to figure out where you're going to, you're going to make your mark in on this world and move forward because in corporate in these areas, things can change in corporate in a second, like you can, you can be just one minute. 131 00:08:24,524.999 --> 00:08:28,984.999 Decision away from broke, right? Because you're living on these paychecks. 132 00:08:29,634.999 --> 00:08:36,324.999 And when you do that, you risk your, you know, your wellbeing and your future and your family's future. 133 00:08:36,324.999 --> 00:08:45,159.999 If you do not have something else on the side that is helping to make you money, That if you ever lost that position, right? You've got a backup. 134 00:08:45,169.999 --> 00:08:50,829.999 You've got something going for you that makes you as much as your corporate job, if not more, and then you're fine. 135 00:08:50,979.999 --> 00:08:52,499.999 And so that's where my mind is always gone. 136 00:08:52,499.999 --> 00:08:56,899.998 That's where I've been in this, in this space, considering coaching. 137 00:08:56,939.999 --> 00:08:58,759.998 I thought this is a great investment. 138 00:08:59,59.999 --> 00:09:22,419.999 Do I want to take that money away from my family? Do I think that it's, you know, uh, going to, going to cause strife in my family? No, because I believe in investing in the knowledge that people who have done the things that you want to accomplish have done, because they're going to show you those processes. 139 00:09:22,439.999 --> 00:09:23,719.999 They're going to teach you. 140 00:09:23,749.999 --> 00:09:25,129.999 And that is invaluable. 141 00:09:25,519.999 --> 00:09:26,699.999 There's nothing better. 142 00:09:26,974.999 --> 00:09:35,584.999 In my opinion than having someone teach you, I've taught many people that have had great success in their lives, transformed them. 143 00:09:35,614.999 --> 00:09:41,714.999 I've got guys telling me they've been sober for a year now because we sat down and we had a conversation, you know, change their lives. 144 00:09:42,194.999 --> 00:09:52,794.999 I've got people who are scaling their businesses because I've sat down with them and I've helped them and I thought, why couldn't I sit down with someone prolific that has done this before? And scale even further. 145 00:09:53,644.999 --> 00:09:55,154.999 So that's my rant for today. 146 00:09:55,244.999 --> 00:09:56,514.999 I don't know if that helps any of you. 147 00:09:56,574.999 --> 00:09:57,264.999 Probably does. 148 00:09:57,314.999 --> 00:10:00,784.999 There's something in this, right?
