But if there's 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: one thing that I think is one of the main 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: leading things, and I'm waiting this so badly, it's so 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: hard to word, but if I could boil it down 31 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: to one of the main reasons why I have been 32 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: so successful, I'll tell you what it is. 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: Doing things quickly. 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: And I know that sounds crazy and it's a very 35 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: simple concept. But I was with a couple of my 36 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: friends the other day and we started to have this 37 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: conversation and then it had me reflecting on my whole 38 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: career journey. 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: And so I'll paint a picture for you. 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: I was going to see Katie Perry in concert with 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: my two good friends, Kate and Matt, and we got 42 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: to our hotel and we were in a bit of 43 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: a rush because we got to the hotel in Sydney 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: really late and we had to get ready, and so 45 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: I quickly did my makeup when I got there and 46 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: like i'd been, I was finished in two seconds, and 47 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: Kate goes to me, you did that so quick. And 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: then I said to her, I'm going to go quickly 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: do my hair in the in the bathroom. I went 50 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: in the bathroom and they stayed out in the hotel room, 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: and then I was back out again in two seconds, 52 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: and I'd done my whole hair like a triple barrel 53 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: roll hair style, and I popped out and Kate goes, 54 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: what the fuck, Like you just did that so quick. 55 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: And then again when we got back from the concert, 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: it was really late at night, like eleven o'clock or whatever, 57 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: and I was. 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: Like, I'm just going to go have a shower and 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: I came back out in two seconds. She's like, what 60 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: the fuck? You just had?

And I was like, you're 66 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: so right, Kate, And I've never actually thought about this 67 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: until she kind of brought it to my attention and 68 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: then I started, you know, spiraling on everything that I've 69 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: ever done in my life in general and in my career. 70 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: And I know that I'm. 71 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: A fast worker, and I know that I'm quick to 72 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: take action, but it was you know, doing my hair 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: and makeup and having a really quick shower that made 74 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: me just reflect and I thought, you know what I do, 75 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: do things quickly. And I genuinely believe that it's acting 76 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: quick that has gotten me to where I am today. 77 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: And I know that's a really simple thing, but it 78 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: is so power moving fast and figuring the rest out 79 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: along the way. 80 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: Now, let's circle back. 81 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: There are a million reasons why a business or a 82 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: person might succeed, and you know, looking at my success, 83 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: there's so many factors. Hard work, timing, strategy, branding, grit, blood, sweat, 84 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: and tears. And I've lived through all of those things 85 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: and I do all of those things. 86 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: But having this. 87 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: Realization the other day, it just hit me like a 88 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: ton of bricks. Holy shit, moving fast is one of 89 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: my superpowers. And AJ and I are the same. And 90 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: I want to go back and give you some examples 91 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: of moving quickly. And it also plays into the saying 92 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: that I love, which is do it scared. It plays 93 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: into this as well, And if you haven't heard me 94 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: use that quote, it's my favorite new quote of twenty 95 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: twenty five. 96 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: Do it scared? 97 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: And what I mean when I say that is, you know, 98 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: we hold ourselves back a lot because we're scared. 99 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: You know, we're scared to ask our boss a question. 100 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: We're scared to ask for a pay rise, We're scared 101 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: to ask for a title change, We're scared to apply 102 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: for a job. You know, we're scared to start the business. 103 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: Whatever it is, Do it scared. And I think my 104 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: whole career I've done it scared because you know, we 105 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: can't allow being scared be the reason that we. 106 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: Don't move forward with something. 107 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: And I think moving quickly ties in with this quote 108 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: that I love so much, So what is it about speed? 109 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: And I don't want anyone to take this in the 110 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: wrong way. I definitely don't want to be one to 111 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: promote just fucking do it even though you have no 112 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: clue what you're doing, and figure out the rest on 113 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: the way. You obviously want to have eighty percent of 114 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: your ducks in a row before you go and make 115 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: a decision. And I'm also not promoting, you know, just 116 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: doing something completely random that you have no idea about. 117 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: But I think often as humans, we can always be 118 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: waiting for the perfect moment. I will do that when 119 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: I fill in the blanks, you know, or when I 120 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: do XYZ, then I will do x yz. 121 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: You know. 122 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: I feel like we're always waiting for the perfect moment. 123 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: But reflecting on my career, I've never waited ever, And 124 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: I'll take you. 125 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: Back to my childhood. 126 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: Right when I discovered YouTube in high school, I would 127 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: have been in year eight. I want to say I 128 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: made the YouTube channel that day, like there was no 129 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: and like I was really young and social media was 130 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: so different, and I guess I wasn't worried about what 131 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: people would think because no one was really doing YouTube 132 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: back then. But that's when it all started for me, 133 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: was when I made that YouTube channel. And reflecting on 134 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: all of my jobs that I had back in the day, 135 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: if you listen closely enough or you follow me closely enough, 136 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: you'll know I had over twenty jobs before I became 137 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: self employed, and I always moved quickly with that as well. 138 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: I would get a job. My first job was when 139 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I was fourteen at Macker's and as soon as I 140 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: knew that I didn't like that job anymore, I didn't 141 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: get stuck there. I would move quick. I would start 142 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: applying for more jobs online and I'd quickly be onto 143 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: the next. And I job hopped through over twenty jobs, 144 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: and as soon as I knew yep, I hate this, 145 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: I hate this workplace for whatever reason, I hated the job, 146 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: I hated the people, I'd quit and be onto the next. 147 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: Now, of course, I had a safety net. 148 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: I didn't move on from one job to the other 149 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: until I had that next job lined up, But I 150 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: still moved quickly. I never wanted to become stuck and 151 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: stagnant in something that I wasn't enjoying. And having this 152 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: conversation with Kate just made me reflect on all of 153 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: this stuff that I did in my early years, and 154 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, holy shit, I am a fast mover, and 155 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm fast with every decision that I make. 156 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 2: Obviously, I then started my YouTube channel. I did that quickly. 157 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I learned I can start pumping out more YouTube videos. 158 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: And by doing that and learning that if I move 159 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: quick like, you'd be surprised, like because you're also doing it, 160 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: scared how quickly things can start coming back to you, 161 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: and more opportunities will present themselves to you. When it 162 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: comes to quitting my full time job at twenty one. 163 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: By that point, I'd worked in so many jobs and 164 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: my YouTube channel was kind of taking off, and I 165 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: figured out that I was going to be earning just 166 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: enough money to scrape by. I acted quick with quitting 167 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: my job, you know. I didn't sit on it for 168 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: three years and think, oh should I you know, like 169 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: I had no money in the bank, I had one 170 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: dollar to my name, and I quickly worked out, Okay, 171 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: I've got to make this much to cover my one 172 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty dollars rent and this much to pay 173 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: my petrol, you know, and then I've got my phone bill, 174 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: and then I fucking quit my job.

Like I come 176 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: up with that idea of wanting to quit my job 177 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: and try to make YouTube my full time job, and. 178 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: I quit it like real quick, and I thought, what's 179 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: the worse it's going to happen. 180 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm just going to have to go and get another 181 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: another job, like I was so used to that, and 182 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: so I acted quick again back then quitting my job. 183 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: That was one of the best decisions that I've ever made, 184 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: and I made it quickly. 185 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: I didn't like I didn't sit. 186 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: There and ponder and go, yeah, when I save five 187 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, then I will quit my job, which is 188 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: probably the smartest thing to do, like I should probably 189 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: should have had a bit of money behind me, but 190 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: I acted quick and it paid off, much like all 191 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: my other little businesses that I tried, you know, and 192 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: I've spoken about them on the pod over the last 193 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: year or so. When I wanted to do spray cans, 194 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: I didn't sit there, you know, planning it all out 195 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 1: and thinking, you know, yeah, I want to do a 196 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: spray cand business, but you know, how would I do that, 197 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: and how would I get customers. I went to that 198 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: local beauty supply store, spent three hundred dollars, like my 199 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: only three hundred dollars that I had all the shit, 200 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: and then I figured out how I was going to 201 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: get customers, you know, like I've always done things quickly 202 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: and I'm only just learning this, which is just it's 203 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: been like an absolute mind fuck for me to find 204 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: this out like this is I think this is truly 205 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I've been able to get 206 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: to the stage that I'm at is because I've moved quickly. 207 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: I think it's the waiting and the holding and the 208 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: pausing that stops us from just starting, which is what 209 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: it's all about. 210 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 2: And I could take. 211 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: You through my entire you know, career journey, but that 212 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: would take forever. 213 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 2: But just anything and everything, I always act quick. 214 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Another great example is our Fate Society Facebook community group, 215 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: which has been a bit of a topic online in 216 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: recent weeks. I had that idea back in the start 217 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. I thought of it one night, 218 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: I went into the office. The next day, I said, 219 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: we're starting a Facebook page. We made the Facebook page that, 220 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, like, there's no hesitation or pause. I've done 221 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: the exact same with my retail stores. I've done the 222 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: exact same with moving warehouse, recognizing when we're growing out 223 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: of this space, boom, go on commercial real estate, find 224 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: a place, move in like no hesitation, no pause. And 225 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: I know that me reflecting on all of this might 226 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: sound crazy to be like, oh, you know, and I 227 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: think people are petrified of moving quickly because that's it's scary. 228 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: It's scary to make big decisions and act on them 229 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: straight away. But I'm telling you now, that is one 230 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I've been able to do everything 231 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: that I've done, opening our retail stores. Like thinking of 232 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: when we just had our Newcastle store and then I 233 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: just fucking decided out of nowhere, Okay, I'm going to 234 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: do my next door, just out of the blue. The 235 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: next week, I was down at Westfield Miranda, met with 236 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: the real estate agents, Boom signed the contract like there 237 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: was no uh, you know, let me think about it 238 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: for a while, and especially because you know the store 239 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: was vacant that we were going to move into Bing 240 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: Bang Bong. 241 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: It happened in two seconds. 242 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm just having this realization now at 243 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: thirty two years old, that this is one of the 244 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: reasons why I've been able to do everything that I've done, 245 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: and it's such a simple act of being quick. I 246 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: think this also comes down to, like having a lot 247 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: of self belief. It's one thing to like act quick, 248 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: but you've got to be able to back yourself and 249 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: believe yourself at the same time. And if anything, reflecting 250 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: on my whole career right now, as I'm sitting in 251 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: the studio. I have built my self confidence and self 252 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: belief by acting quick. It's by putting myself out there 253 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: making these decisions, acting quickly and not stopping to hesitate 254 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: or question myself that I've then made these crazy decisions 255 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: and then it's worked for me, and I've thought, holy shit, 256 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to do this again. In another way, it 257 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: might even be making a new hire. I've lost count 258 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: over how many times over the years, especially over the 259 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: last like three years, for example, where I'm standing there 260 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: looking at our warehouse and I'm like, we need two 261 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: more workers in here. 262 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: Put the ad up today, interview tomorrow. 263 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: You know. It's just the way that I've always acted 264 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: because I feel like if you see something and you 265 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: can visualize it or you can sense it, like I 266 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: can sense when the warehouse needs a new team member, 267 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: and I'll say to the team maybe like let's go 268 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: back two years ago or whatever, when our warehouse was 269 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot smaller. I'd go to you know, our warehouse manager. 270 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: I'd be like, you need two new employees and they'd 271 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: be like, really, oh, I don't know, Like we're kind 272 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: of fine doing what we're doing now.

And this is the 278 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: fucking I can't believe. I know I keep saying that, 279 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: but I can't believe that. I'm just realizing this now. 280 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: I can even say the same. When it comes to 281 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: creating content. And I know we've been talking about content 282 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: a lot on the pod recently, but when it comes 283 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: to making content, some of my best and most viral 284 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: moments and the pieces of content that we have put 285 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: out there are the pieces that we have just shot 286 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: and posted straight away, you know, because you can sit 287 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: and plan, and like it's good to plan, you know, 288 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: we want to plan out our more strategic content, like 289 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: our photo shoots with models where we're shooting all the looks. 290 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: You've got to plan all that stuff out. 291 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: But the best pieces of content that I create today 292 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: and have created over the years, is when I'm sitting 293 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: there and I might be like scrolling on TikTok on 294 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: my lunch break and I see something and I have 295 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: like an idea spark. I'm like, we need to do this. 296 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: A great example is and I think I've spoke about 297 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: it ages ago on here, but when we did our 298 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: candy salad video, I'll recap it again. They were some 299 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: of our most viral moments on fate on TikTok. Right, 300 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: And if you don't know about the candy salad trend, 301 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: it was a year ago now or something like that, 302 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: and I saw, like I was just scrolling on TikTok 303 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: one day and I saw these American college students doing 304 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: a candy salad. Okay, and there were college students in America. 305 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: This trend had not hit Australia yet, no one. I'd 306 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: only just started seeing all these college students and they'd go, 307 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm Brittany, and I brought skettles sour burst, and then 308 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: they would tip. They'd have like an ice cream container 309 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: and they'd tip their lollies. Then it would be the 310 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: next person and they'd bring snakes. And that was like 311 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: the candy salad. And by the end, like everyone in 312 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: the college sports team or whatever had brought in lollies 313 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: and they made a big lolly salad. And so I 314 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: saw that at night one night and I thought, Okay, 315 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: we need to make our own version of this. And 316 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: I really want to stress how important this is with content. 317 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: I know content is always put in the two hard bus, 318 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: but if you can act quickly with your content like 319 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: you're going to see so much success. And I'm living 320 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: proof of this. So I thought, Okay, we need to 321 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: do our own lolly salad at Fate. But I'm going 322 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: to go to Coal's as soon as I wake up 323 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: in the morning, and I'm going to buy a mix. 324 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to buy a mix of really good lollies 325 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: and really shit lollies, and then we're going to do 326 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: our own lolly salad. And then we're going to piss 327 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: people off that I'm putting bad lollies in there. 328 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: And I shit you not.

I went to Cole's. 333 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: I bought about fifty dollars worth of lollies and I 334 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: got like, you know, snakes and good lollies, and then 335 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: I got like mints and like really gross lollies. Went 336 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: to the warehouse, grabbed a few people. We filmed the 337 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: lolly Salad. We uploaded it that day like this all 338 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: happened within less than twenty four hours. 339 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: Boom. That video got like five million views. 340 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: And it was then on that day that I went, 341 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: holly fuck, this video has absolutely blown up everyone in 342 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: the comments. I saw it happening before my eyes, and 343 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to happen. People were getting 344 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: so pissed off that April had the cool mints like 345 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: that and she'd put them in with all like the 346 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: yummy lollies. And then I thought, okay, let's act quick again. 347 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: How can I capitalize off this momentum that we have 348 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: from this lolly salad video? 349 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: So what doa do? 350 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: I went back to Coals. I said, now, let's do 351 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: a chocolate version. And so I went back to Coals 352 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: again and I bought a mix of good chocolates and 353 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: shit chocolates. And then we did like the chocolate version. 354 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: And so for five days in a row, I went 355 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: to Coals every day. I should have bought it all 356 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: at once, but we just were pumping out this content 357 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: that was not planned at all. It was just a 358 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: little idea in my head. And those like five videos 359 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: we end up doing five different salads. We did fruit salad, 360 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: cookie salad, chocolate salad. Like we just kept going and 361 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: no one else was doing this, like people were just 362 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: doing candy lolly salads. They were some of our most 363 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: viral pieces of content that we've ever made, and they 364 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: were not planned We filmed them on the spot and 365 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: uploaded them that day. It doesn't have to be planned 366 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: out whatsoever. And just reflecting, I'm like, again, that's a 367 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: great example of me moving quickly and it paying off. 368 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: Just recently, we were on the news and I'm sure 369 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: a lot of you saw it if you follow my socials, 370 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: and again, like, you've got to act like you've got 371 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: to act quick. If there's anything that you can take 372 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: from this pod, it's you need to act quick. 373 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: Okay. 374 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: Now, obviously not everyone has the privilege of being on 375 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: the news, right Like, so I'm very well aware that 376 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: I'm in a great position that I got offered the 377 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: opportunity to be on the news. 378 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 2: But I thought I knew that morning that. 379 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: Our news was on that night, and so I said, 380 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: I need two phones and I need two tripods, and 381 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: so AJ and I sat on the lounge and I 382 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: we were told like it was the six PM news, 383 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: so like primetime news, we didn't actually end up being 384 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: on until six point fifty five, like just before the 385 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: news end. And I will say no offense, but I've 386 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: never sat there and actually watched the news for like 387 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 1: an hour straight, Like it's always something that I have 388 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: on in the background or whatever, like we always turn 389 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: the telly on when we get home, and you're like, 390 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: hear the news. But because we didn't know what time 391 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: in between six and seven we were going to be on, 392 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: AJ and I were sitting there on the edge of 393 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: our seat like waiting for our little segment, and so 394 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: I had our two phones filming two different angles. I 395 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: had one filming AJ and I on the couch and 396 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: my other phone filming the TV, so I had like 397 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: two different point of views. And I filmed that whole 398 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: hour because I didn't know like when our little segment 399 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: was going to be. And then that was all well 400 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: and exciting. We watched our little segment and then we 401 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: like had dinner and stuff, and it got really late 402 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: and it got to like, you know, eight thirty or 403 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: nine pm, and I thought, I need to like edit 404 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: that little clip and upload it. And I could have 405 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: been like, oh, no, it's too late at night or whatever, 406 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, but I thought, no, fuck it, Like because 407 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: when it gets to like eight thirty or nine, think 408 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: is it too late to post? 409 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: I thought, no, fuck it. 410 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna quickly edit it and I'm going to post it. 411 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: And then that video did so well on TikTok and 412 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: Instagram and it's just again because I acted so quickly 413 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: in that moment. 414 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: And then the next morning I. 415 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: Message our marketing team, I'm like, okay, girls, we were 416 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: on the news last night. What more can we quickly 417 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: do to you know, make more noise about this so 418 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 1: than we had, like some social media posts, go up 419 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: a LinkedIn post, because you've just got to act quick, 420 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: especially if you're given an opportunity like that. And I 421 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: know that's like a really maybe out of touch thing 422 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: for me to talk about act quick when you're on 423 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: the news, but you know, that's just a way that 424 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: my brain works, is when you're given an opportunity, act 425 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: quick on it because the chances are it's going to 426 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: pay off. And I know it's easy enough for me 427 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: to say act quick, and I don't want anyone to 428 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: get the wrong idea, but wow, just having this conversation 429 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: with Kate, it made me realize we do act quick, 430 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: and I've got to give it to Aj as well. 431 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: Another thing that he does, Like both him and I 432 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: were really quick, you know, like we're renovating our office 433 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: right now and everything's happening so quick, and whenever we 434 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: see his family, they're like fucking slow down, like what 435 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: are you guys doing? Like this is all too much, 436 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: but it's honestly our superpower. I also think it's had 437 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: a positive impact on my team, especially my Fate team 438 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: members that have been with us for many, many years, 439 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: because I think I've almost built this kind of I 440 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: don't want to say a culture, but I think that's 441 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: a word I want to say where everyone in our 442 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: team like they kind of thrive and love moving fast paced. Obviously, 443 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: now as the business has gotten bigger, I don't want 444 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: to say that we've slowed down, but we've definitely brought 445 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: in like a lot more systems and stuff so that 446 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: things are moving slowly and not chaotically. But especially for 447 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: a lot of our leaders in our Fate Leadership team 448 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: who have been with us for you know, over four years, 449 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: they are all really. 450 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 2: Receptive to moving quickly. 451 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: And I think that helps us as a business as well, 452 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: because the last thing you want is a team of 453 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: leaders who like, obviously you want everyone to be careful 454 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: and mindful and take their time with things. But we've 455 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: developed a leadership team of people where you know, if 456 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: for some reason something's changed and we had a plan 457 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: for tomorrow, but it's now going to happen this afternoon 458 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: or whatever, we have a team of yes people who 459 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: be like, absolutely, let's. 460 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: Friggin do it, and let's get shit done. 461 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: And I think that's a bit of like the fate 462 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: spirit is everyone just jumping in and getting shit done 463 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: and not getting caught up on no, but that's not 464 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: the plan, you know. I think it's a really good 465 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: trait to have. Obviously you want to be organized and 466 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: have things planned out, but at the same time, it's 467 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: such a great trait to just get in and get 468 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: shit done, and even if it's not part of the plan, 469 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: or if it feels slightly messy, you know, we'll tidy 470 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: up the dust as it appears and will just jump 471 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: in and get shit done. I think a lot of 472 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: people may have a fear of moving fast, and I 473 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: know that moving fast feels scary. 474 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 2: AJ's mum is always going slow down. 475 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: Because she like sees everything that we're doing, and like, 476 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't have a fear of moving fast whatsoever, But 477 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: I can understand that people do because it's like, what 478 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: if it's too scary, what if it flops? What if 479 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: it's not one hundred percent ready? But I like to 480 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: flip that thought, but what if it works? What if 481 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: the idea sitting in your notes app could literally change 482 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: your whole life if you just went and did it. 483 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: And I think when it comes to business, you know, 484 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: I will be the first person to say when I 485 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: started Fate, I had no clue what I was doing. 486 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: I didn't write a business plan. I didn't even know 487 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: what a business plan was. If I was to start 488 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: a business today, would I write a bit of a plan, Yes, 489 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: of course. But you know, I think I'm living proof 490 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: that you don't need to know everything, even if you 491 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: know seventy percent or eighty percent. I would rather jump 492 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: in and start the thing quick and figure out the 493 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: remaining twenty to thirty percent along the way instead of 494 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: sitting there and waiting for that right moment. Stop waiting 495 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: for the moment. This is the moment not me getting 496 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: all motivational on everyone. I think when it comes to 497 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: moving quickly, it's obviously something that I use to my 498 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: advantage and it's been one of my superpowers in business. 499 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: But I think we have to humanize moving quickly. You 500 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: obviously don't want to be moving so fast that you 501 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: completely burn yourself out, which would be so common to happen, 502 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: especially to entrepreneurs and founders. I think you have to 503 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: be realistic when it comes to moving quickly, and maybe 504 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: if you have made a snap decision and acted on 505 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: it and it hasn't worked and it's backfired, I think 506 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: it's important to remember that so you can learn better 507 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: for next time. And I think it's also important to 508 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: be mindful when it comes to moving quickly and understand 509 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: that moving fast doesn't mean being careless. It means trusting 510 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: your gut and acting with urgency or while being responsible. 511 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: Of course, make decisions responsibly. And I can only speak 512 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: from my own experience, but I think if you were 513 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: to go out and speak to any other business owner 514 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: who's been in the game for a while, I think 515 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: they would just agree with me on this. You know, 516 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: start before you're ready. 517 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: Just do it. Is that why Nike has that saying 518 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 2: just do it. I don't know. 519 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: I can only speak from me, but I think a 520 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: lot of other owners out there would agree with me. 521 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: And you probably speak to a lot of other business 522 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: owners who woul say, I wish I started sooner. I 523 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: wish I didn't wait, you know, I wish i'd started earlier. 524 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: I could even say the same like people say, if 525 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: you could start your business all over again, what would 526 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: you do? And I would say, I wish I started 527 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: it sooner. But then I think I started my business 528 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: when I was twenty four. I think I was pretty 529 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: pretty early, but I should started it when I was 530 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: bloody fifteen. So that is my little life lesson that 531 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: I thought I would share with you for this week's episode. 532 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 2: Move Quickly. 533 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 1: You don't need to have it all figured out, just 534 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: move and then that's where the magic begins. And I 535 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: don't know if me doing this episode makes me sound 536 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: a little bit crazy, but I truly think that that 537 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: has been one of the main keys to my success. 538 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: And shout out to Kate. She probably doesn't listen to 539 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: these episodes. I'm going to tell her I spoke about 540 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: her in this one. Moving Quickly is absolutely one of 541 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: my biggest reasons for my success, and I have Kate 542 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: to thank for making me think about this in depths. 543 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 1: So shout out to you Dedicated Lifestyle on Instagram if 544 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: anyone wants to look her up, and to all of 545 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: you listening. That's my tip of the week for this episode. 546 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: Move fast and figure out the rest later and proceed 547 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: with caution as always, but just get out there and 548 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: do the thing because you might be surprised what comes 549 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: of it. And I quite literally have moved quickly with 550 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: everything that I've ever. 551 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: Done and look where it's landed me. 552 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here in this studio recording this podcast for 553 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: you today, so that's all from me. Move quickly and 554 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: remember to chase after your dreams as if they owe 555 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: you money.
