You know, 51 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: before you found this particular dream, you was hitting in 52 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: a different direction with your career. Correct. Absolutely, so. I 53 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: actually was a professional dancer and actress, and so I 54 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: performed and acted in the industry for a while, and 55 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: then um, I was about to have his son. I 56 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: was pregnant with his son, and so at that moment, 57 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: I said, you know, I really need to find something 58 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: that's been a little bit more stable, because I want 59 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: to offer him things that I couldn't do when I 60 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: was a child. So that's when I decided that I 61 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: started business or go back to school. And so people said, 62 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: don't start a business. Most businesses fell blah blah blah. 63 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: You know that statistics in the first three years. But 64 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: those taters are out there right they tell you, I 65 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: don't understand your dream, but don't start it. I don't 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: know what your dream. I to understand the work or 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: your plan, but don't start it exactly. So I started it, 68 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: um and yeah, history started. Then let me do your 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: own kick. You know you you you say that I 70 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: started it? Where did you started? Well, let's talk about 71 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: that that first idea, you know, because you know, I 72 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: remember when I started doing stand up. I remember my 73 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: first comedy club. It wasn't a place where I originally 74 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: started it, but it was a starting point and eventually 75 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: enabled me to go where I really became. Now you're 76 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, leving franchises around the country. Where did the 77 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: first studio start? So I opened the first studio in 78 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Mount Clair, New Jersey, on top of a CBS. It's 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: a pharmacy. So I shared the room with the real 80 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: estate agent. So I had like half of a room, 81 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: the side of a closet, and I had a mat 82 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: and I had a ball, and so I decided, let 83 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: me start stretching people the way you know I to 84 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: stretch as a dancer. So I created a routine that 85 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: was based on my own routine, but I replaced gravity 86 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: with the stretch coach, which is the person that helps 87 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: the person stretch. So I started with one client. When 88 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: he bought his first package, I was so excited, like 89 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: this man actually gave me two hundred dollars or two seconds. 90 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: This is a great idea. So that gave me more 91 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: power to move forward. So you one person, one person, 92 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: You saw a future, you saw an opportunity, you saw 93 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: a vision, you saw wow, I could do this. Yes, 94 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: people side, you're either onto something or you're crazy. But 95 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: the motivating the motivating factor at the time was my 96 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: son and to provide for him to also be a 97 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: part of his life. Like fast forward to today, I 98 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: still drop my son off at school and I picked 99 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: come up on most days. So that was very important 100 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: to me. So my hy was so big, like no 101 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: matter what the haters said, I was like, I didn't listen. 102 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: I just kept going because I knew I can do 103 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: it on behalf of my farmy So yeah, no, here's 104 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: a great thing about what I'm talking to U, kikay 105 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: Sees the Fouleder CEEO and owner and U of Kika 106 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: Stretch Studios, which is a franchised and eleven locations around 107 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: the country New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas and Nevali. 108 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Now Kika, I live in Texas.

You know, I walk, I walk 124 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: a mill a day, and I would do lightweight and 125 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I was my core was failing me. Okay. 126 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: And now because I fly a lot. I remember last year, 127 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: I did a hundred and twenty one one way trips, 128 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: which is like sixty one round trips in one year. 129 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: And so no matter, I don't care if his first 130 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: class C conference that you didn't matter. He still was 131 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: at that little angle. Okay, and so and so when 132 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: I when I was and so so and my daughter 133 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: it was fun to my daughter, she was a former 134 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: professional tennis player. And my wife would always tell it 135 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: stretch and I wouldn't. I wouldn't listen to it, whatever, whatever. 136 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: And I was just going there, lift my little weight 137 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: to hey. I was I thought I was looking fine. 138 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: I was looking fine. Okay, it was working for me. 139 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: It was working for me, okay, and then but it 140 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: wasn't working for me. You know, my neck was still barred, 141 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: my back, my my my, my, my stride was getting 142 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: shorter and shorter. I could tell. And when I wanted 143 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: to walk, I had to make an effort to walk 144 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: like I wanted to walk. And it wasn't until I 145 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: started stretching that it it changed. It changed, and and 146 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: and it wasn't like and so that's what I do now. 147 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: And I want to tell you something, my my, I 148 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: think my body looks better than it has ever loved. 149 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: I have no love handles, you know, and and and 150 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: my my core and my back issues. My my flexibility 151 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: is amazing and my stride is comfortable. Now I don't 152 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: have to make an effort, and I don't walk like 153 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: an old person anymore, exactly. Yeah, people have always slept, 154 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, stretching like, oh, it's not it's not cool, 155 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: it's boring. But what I really tried to do is 156 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: make it a unique experience so people would love to 157 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: do it. And it's just so powerful for mentally, for 158 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: your brain, for the blow flow of blood throughout your 159 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: whole body, to prevent injuries, and just to reset your mind. 160 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Because people are so stressed out and they're just so tense. 161 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: They think it's normal. But then when they come into 162 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: our studio and they lie there for an hour and 163 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: have someone struts them out there, like I dreamt about this, 164 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, it really is amazing I'm I'm a very 165 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: close friend.

So that what they do is they 289 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: they walk or they wrap their information or their comments 290 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: about what they know, what they understand, what they can 291 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: relate to.

You know, people said, well, what does 334 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: it have to do with entrepreneurship, What does this have 335 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: to do with career planning? Because if you do not 336 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: physically right, mentally right, then the dreams that you're trying 337 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: to pursue in life will not be reached comfortably. And 338 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: that's what you're on to do in life. You're trying 339 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: to comfortably get to the end, to the end game. 340 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: The end game is all these dreams you have in placed, 341 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: all these goals you have in placed, that you can 342 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: get up every day out of bed and then go 343 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: to bed when you want to and not complain, because 344 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: the physicality of that effort is key to whether you're 345 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: gonna accomplish any of those goals. So when someone comes 346 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: to your studio, Kicker Stretch Studio, walk us through the process. 347 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: So you you would come in, um you would fill 348 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: out a waiver and take forms, so they're gonna let 349 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: us know everything you're experiencing in your body, if you 350 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: have any injuries, if you have any pain, then we're 351 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: gonna bring you through a presentation that shows you, like 352 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: an old school PowerPoint presentation about what we're about to do, 353 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: how it's going to be beneficial to you, and then 354 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: we take you through a form that actually hones in 355 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: on the exact reason why you came into the studio today. 356 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: So based on that, that's gonna be our goal for 357 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: the entire experience. So if you tell us my hamstrings 358 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: have been sore for years, we're gonna target your hamstrings 359 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: and help unlock that part of your body. What most 360 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: people don't realize is it's usually one muscle group that's 361 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: preventing your whole body from relaxing. So once we unlocked that, 362 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: then you'll be able to live more free. We also 363 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: measure your stretch age, so we have a measuring system 364 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: where we tell you how old you are flexibility wise 365 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: and not. It does not have anything to do with 366 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: your actual birth age is completely based on your flexibility. 367 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: So we compare that number before the session and after 368 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: the session. Usually after the session people get or lose 369 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: three inches of tension after forty five minutes. So yeah, 370 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: we're providing all types of results. I mean, that's the 371 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: wild moment that what what what? Yes? Yeah, yeah, some 372 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: people see it like wow, I feel better, but I 373 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: have visible results that I've done better than I have 374 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: in thirty years, justin forty five minutes. It's really interesting 375 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: when I when I when I finally listened to my wife, 376 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: finally finally got my behind on the floor. Okay, I 377 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: I had everywhere. It wasn't like I wasn't it like 378 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: I didn't have access to it. If my mind went 379 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: this would do nothing for me. This is a why stretchy? What? 380 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: What is there? What is the benefit of that? And 381 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: all the while I'm complaining, Like you said, I had 382 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: this muscle group, and the muscle group that was bothering 383 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: me was my right but tex area that's kind of 384 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: little above my right hip. I mean I would I 385 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: would lean and I would walk, I would waddle out walk, 386 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: I would do every to put some ice on it. 387 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: Icy hot everything. I was in denial. I needed you 388 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: kick up. What were you at? I needed you? And 389 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: the thing is like people can only go so far 390 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: on their own. So like I started to buy myself 391 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: all the time, but I'm just stretching by myself. It 392 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: really takes just like you said, mentors help you get 393 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: level in life. It really takes a stretch cootes to 394 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: help you get to another level physically, a place where 395 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: you've never durience before, a place of freedom all through 396 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: your body. You need help. You can't do it on 397 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: your own because people are like, oh, yeah, you know, 398 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: I've been stretching for years. But then we look at 399 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: them like, why are you so tight? Because you've been 400 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: stretching by yourself for years. So what we've really done 401 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: is developed a way for people to receive freedom within 402 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: their own bodies. And inven I was the only one 403 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: doing it. Now we have competitors who are emulating what 404 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: we've set up. So it's it's if people always ask 405 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: me like, wow, how do you feel about that? And 406 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: I told them I'm honored. I started an industry and 407 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: the huge companies are trying to mimic it like it's 408 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: it's a great feeling. Well, you know, I guess first 409 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: of all, they are not own money to make conversation. 410 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: It's don't want to make conversation because because you have 411 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: a passionate barce here, it's gonna always shout out your 412 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: name and your brain to come to show up in 413 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: class and start stretching. You can help me your flex here, flexible, 414 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: I could been a little bit more. Come on, work 415 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: with that. Make up about five words when we finished 416 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: this show. But let's talk about this a little bit 417 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: of the business side, because we're talking about franchises, and 418 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's always easy. You know when you when 419 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: you control the baby, you know the you know the 420 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: food come out you're cooking in that oven because you're 421 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: around it all the time. When you start telling franchises, 422 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, that's just your brand. And then you put 423 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: your brand in the hands of somebody else and trusted them. 424 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: The money is fine, but it's still your name's up there. 425 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: How do you how did you get past that? And 426 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: what are the benefits of you know, of franchising. So actually, okay, 427 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: so I just had this conversation with someone, So I 428 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: mentor people and I helped them franchise their own businesses too. 429 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: So one of the things you said was I'm horrible 430 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: with people works. I'm I'm not worried locations, but I'm 431 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: just not organized enough to make it grow. And that's 432 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: one of the benefits of having franchise these you can 433 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: find franchise partners who are great in areas that you're 434 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: not great at, bring them on, and then together as 435 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: a unit your whole. So one of the things that 436 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: I've really learned this year specifically is the power of 437 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: having exceptional franchise e s. And you know, when I 438 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: first started, I used to say, oh, this is what 439 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: we can do for you, this is what we can 440 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: offer you, and then I say I need to ask 441 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: what can you offer us? What can you offer me? 442 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: What can you offer the brand? And so that's definitely 443 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: something very important for people to ask, like when franchising, 444 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: what is this franchise, how are they going to help you? 445 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: And what can they add to the whole message? So really, 446 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's really because it is that that they 447 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: have the right to ask that question. Because everybody's they 448 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: see an opportunity to see an opportunity to make money. 449 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: That's when we have to put the pump the brakes 450 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: right there. Okay, I got that. But it also is 451 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: the work you're willing to put in. Do you care 452 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: about the brand and do you care about the people 453 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: that are gonna be coming through their dual, because that's 454 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: where the customer relationships come in. That's when you can 455 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: get the ugly other good social media posts. And when 456 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: the social media post goes out there, that's across the brand. Okay, 457 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: that's across the brand. And so and I was reading 458 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: I was reading in your bios and there are three 459 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: valuable pieces of advice about franchising. One, be passionate about 460 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: whatever opportunity to you are pursuing. Too, you don't have 461 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: to quit your job to go after your dream. Work 462 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: your way into it. To tell people all the time, 463 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: if you're feeling overwhelmed, I love this, delegate, Delegate, Delegate, Yes, 464 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: every day I asked myself, what else can I delegate 465 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: because I'm feeling overwhelmed. That's that's honestly the That's the 466 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: point of being in business to offer jobs to people. 467 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: So you shouldn't be trying to do everything. You should 468 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: be offering these opportunities to others and helping their families grow, 469 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: not just yours, now your studios, your method? Can you do? 470 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: We walk through your method a couple of Can you 471 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: just explain your method a little bit more before you 472 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: wrap up the show so I can make sure everybody 473 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: understand what exactly is the Kikup method.
