I think 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 3: when we start businesses, we focus so much on like, oh, 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: I need to like get the product right. I need 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 3: to like, you know, figure out how this product works 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: and customers and things like that. But when you hit 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 3: a wall or when you are just stuck in a 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: place where you're trying to understand like how to move, 20 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: you got to have a network. 21 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 22 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think like network also means like to 23 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: diferent things like you need your business network or people 24 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 3: that you can go ask questions of, but you also 25 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: need to have your like wellness network because if you 26 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: want to get closer to God, become an entrepreneur. 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: That's a fact. That's a fact. 28 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: But I came up with what that brought to mind, 29 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: like coming up with that quote was I realized the 30 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: real moment that I started rocking and rolling as an 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: entrepreneur really really bringing in impact and things like that 32 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: is when is when I connected my network to the 33 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 3: work that I'm doing by thinking about how can I 34 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: leverage you you want to have It's an asset. Your 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: network is an asset. Your ability to reach out and 36 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: use a free space, your ability to think about like 37 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 3: our connection to TikTok means that we can connect creators 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 3: to different things we can We can also do things 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,919 Speaker 3: like figure out how to support even the platform. 40 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: You know. 41 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: It's sometimes the biggest thing you can do is not 42 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: asking for the thing that's right in front of you. 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: It is thinking of what else do they have? What 44 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: else going to offer? What else is available? In how 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: you're going to grow your network. I think billion dollar, 46 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 3: billion dollar network means you got enough people there where 47 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: you can operate something as a multimillion dollar thing. It's 48 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: like you need that you can get all the capital, 49 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 3: but when you hit a wall. 50 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: You need a person. 51 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would put this on thread a couple of 52 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: weeks ago. It's like I used to believe everybody should 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: start a business, and I was like, I don't understand 54 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: why anybody would go get a job. And I don't 55 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: believe that anymore because like this, doing this is like 56 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: it takes a special kind of person to wake up 57 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: to just drama every day, stress every day. You know, 58 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: there's no guarantee paycheck on Friday, Like you gotta go hunt, 59 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: you gotta go find that paycheck. And so like what 60 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: kind of people do you And I'm saying that you're 61 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: not saying that, but I'm sure there's some something in 62 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: that you can probably relate to. But I wonder, like 63 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: what kind of people do you think are best suited 64 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: for this? Like what is the makeup of a person 65 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: who is best suited for this journey? 66 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, it's a a good question. But to 67 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: your point around like insight on that. I think that 68 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: your people ask me all the time, when should I. 69 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: Quit my job? How do I know when to put 70 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: my job? How do I know when I should. 71 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: Just jump off, jump off the cliff and build, you know, 72 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: wile up no, absolutely not. 73 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: Do not jump off anybody's cliff. 74 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: Do not try to build any wings or gain wings. 75 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: None of that. You are not a parachute expert. Do 76 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: not of that. But what you should consider I always 77 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: tell them, I don't know how resilient you are. 78 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if you get down to the wire, 79 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: if you're willing to go donate blood. I don't know 80 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: if you're willing to like pawn everything in your house 81 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 3: for what you believe. 82 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're you see what I'm saying. 83 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: Like have you had my journal? Like goodness gazeous like a. 84 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: I don't know what you're willing to do for this, 85 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: So I think that you know. 86 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: And there's a lot of I've been seeing a lot 87 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: of podcasts commentary because I'm also wellness practitioner. There's a 88 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: lot of podcasts commentary out there right now around how 89 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: work life balance is BS and like we don't need 90 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: work life balance. I don't think work life balance is 91 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: purely BS. But what I'll say is the concentration has 92 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: to be on work life integration. Yeah, like how everything 93 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: is worth, what time it is? 94 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: It is? Now it's time for me to be doing 95 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: something it's how do you think? 96 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 3: Even with my staff, when I hire people, I tell 97 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: them you can make a mistake, that's fine. But if 98 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: you're thinking it's off, you're going to constantly make the 99 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: same mistakes over and over. So I would say, just 100 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: to break that down, culchability. 101 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: Your ability to be cultable. Resilience. 102 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: How resilient are you? What are you willing to do 103 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: for what you believe in? And I mean that by 104 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: all legal means and safety needs necessary, But what are 105 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: you willing to do for what you believe in? I 106 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: don't know that right, I can't desermine that that Your 107 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: grind is kind of like the most unpredictable factor. That's 108 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: a part of you building a business as part of 109 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 3: your entrepreneurial repertoire is going to be like I don't 110 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: know how far you're willing to go. 111 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: Some people will like sleep on couches. Some people are 112 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: like like, nah, I can't do that. So you gotta 113 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: know you. I think that's that's the thing. Who are 114 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: you exactly? 115 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: And if you don't know, you will find it out 116 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 3: real quick when you try to run a business. 117 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Yeah,
