198 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,960 What position were you in when you started helping someone? 199 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,120 Like, OK, now this focus is off me. 200 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,520 So yeah, so there was a point where 201 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,280 I got started in it for money, because I 202 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,560 wanted to help myself, right? 203 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:43,840 But in helping myself, the only way you can get paid 204 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,080 is by helping someone else. 205 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,600 Like, it's change of value, right? 206 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,600 Like, I have to provide a legitimate value in order 207 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,720 for someone to pay me. 208 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,560 And it went from a different dichotomy in the sense of, 209 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:01,960 yeah, hey, I need money to, yeah, I don't need money, 210 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,680 and I'm still going to do it anyways, right? 211 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,640 And then, you know, so I always had the intention 212 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,400 of helping other people, because that's what we're here for. 213 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,920 I mean, to get paid, obviously, right, in a business. 214 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,800 But the context changed when I didn't need to do it anymore, 215 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,440 right? 216 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,240 And now it's like more of a choice, 217 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,840 as opposed to like you have to, which gives some freedom. 218 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,840 Because there are some people I don't want to help, 219 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160 because they're not ready for it, right?
