What's up guys?
Welcome back to the Homework Assignment Podcast.
Yet again, it is our assignment today to find the balance between home life and work life.
I'm your host, RJ Patino.
Today we decided to get some questions from people that we work with, people that watch
our podcast and really dive into these questions.
We've got a great show for you today.
And so yeah, let's let's get to it.
Question number one.
Question number one is, what is your definition of success?
That's a great question.
I think it varies for everybody and I think it also varies on each level you are, wherever
you are in your life or on your path to success, whatever career you're building or whether
it's at home and again in work.
For me, I think success, the definition of success is really driven by results.
You know, we especially here in our construction company, we're contractors and so there's
a lot of moving parts.
There's a lot of things and objectives that need to get done on a daily basis.
For example, we have a remodel, say it's going to take two months.
Well, having a schedule and deadlines is really important.
And the way we stay successful is by hitting those deadlines, getting the jobs done and
keeping great quality.
And when we don't get those things done, it creates problems.
I've experienced like in the beginning phases of the company and every now and then we still
deal with this.
We're not perfect.
But when you, it's easy to start really strong in our company with the project.
It's easy to start strong, get all the stuff in the beginning going good.
And the hardest and toughest part is the cosmetic and the final push through, you know, fourth
quarter type of work that really just kind of finishes the project off.
And what I experienced a lot in the past is, you know, we would do so good and be successful
and be giving results and clients could see progress.
We could see everything moving forward, moving smoothly.
We were able to find solutions to problems and then that fourth quarter would arrive.
And what would happen in that fourth quarter?
Well, we would have a huge punch list.
We'd have little things and that weren't getting done, didn't get done, or we had poor prep
during some of the beginning steps, which caused problems later on.
And it didn't matter if that six weeks in the before this phase, we crushed it, we killed
it.
And then we got to the last two weeks or the last phase and we dragged it out and there
was constant problems and trying to get these little knickknacks done.
And then that created even more problems.
So all this greatness that we did, all this happiness that we provided the great five
star experience, our customers was completely ruined by not even a quarter of the time that
it took to actually get the project done.
And so I think for me, success and like I said, I think it varies in a lot of different
aspects of life.
You know, if we talk about business for me, success is results.
I think at home as well, success is results.
You know, being a successful parent, what does it mean to me?
Like, OK, well, I'm going to find out as the years go by and I watch my kids grow up.
Did I teach them right?
Did I show them how to eat healthy?
Did I show them how to be active?
Did I show them how to be kind, how to be loving?
And I think once I get into their teenage years and that actually starts to display
itself in them, the teachings that my wife and I have taught them, I'm going to know
if I was a good dad, if I was successful.
Same thing that goes with my wife.
We've been married four years and I know there's that saying that like, hey, the worst
years in a marriage and maybe maybe I'm the one who's heard this.
I don't know, but I've always heard and I've heard repetitively that year number one is
a terrible year.
I think that goes into, hey, you're just married.
You got to learn how to live with each other.
I think circumstances in life when you get married to meet your spouse do play a big
role in that first year.
But I did hear a lot of hey, you're number one and you're number seven.
You're number seven.
I haven't gotten there yet, so I'm not sure why they say that.
But I can tell you that, you know, you're number one for us.
It was a little difficult.
It wasn't the worst.
I don't even know if we've had the worst yet, but I don't plan on it.
I could tell you that much.
And I think that comes down to striving for success in my marriage, striving to be a result
driven husband, meaning, hey, when my wife has an issue with something, it's not, OK,
I'm going to work on it.
OK, I'm going to work on it.
Like you can only say that so many times until it doesn't matter.
Yeah, I'm going to work on it because you're not giving results.
No.
So she's saying that, hey, you know, I asked you to take your shoes off before you came
in the house.
OK, I work on it.
Two months later, you're still walking in the house with your shoes.
OK, well, what what does any of that do for you or her?
Nothing, because you're not you may be saying it.
You may be talking the talk, but you're not walking the walk.
So I think for me, results in every aspect is is really what success is, because you
can do a lot of things.
But if you don't put action and you don't get results every all the work you're putting
in, all the training, all the learning, whatever it is, if there's no results, it's absolutely
worthless because you didn't you didn't bear the fruits or get the fruits from from all
that work you put in.
So that would be definitely my definition.
Your definition of success is results, results.
All right.
And second question is what is the toughest part of entrepreneurship to you?
Everything, haha
I think I talk about this topic a lot with my wife.
We go on evening walks.
We're currently doing seventy five hard, which for those of you that don't know, it's a program
that I actually really, really like a lot.
And I've been able to pursue it for a little while now.
I've failed quite a few times, but long story short, it's, you know, two workouts a day,
45 minutes, drink a gallon of water, read self-help books, take a progress pick.
One of those workouts need to be outside minimum.
One workout has to be outside and.
And then eating a healthy diet.
So we've been doing that.
And so for a night we go on walks and we've picked up the pace.
You know, we're we're progressing on our walks.
But during those walks, it's great because we get time to talk.
And it always ends up we always end up talking about basically some of the just the hardships
we're going through.
We also get time to actually look back the last four years of where we started and.
It's still hard.
I mean, the the challenges are a little bit different now because we're a little bit more
established and hey, back when we first began, I hardly had anything to myself or in my name.
So we had extra challenges of making sure we could pay rent, making sure we could afford
our bills.
Well, now we don't so much have that problem.
But now we have new problems.
And I think number one, if you're an entrepreneur, if you're building or scaling a business,
problems are important.
You want new problems because if you're getting new problems, that means you're moving forward
and not backwards.
That means you're discovering new things that you haven't ran into before.
And that should be a good thing.
Then you got to solve them.
But problems are going to come along the entire process.
And I think one of the hardest things about being an entrepreneur for me is it goes into
time management between my work and my my home life.
The last few weeks, especially this is episode number three.
So we obviously started a podcast.
And on top of that, we've really implemented a lot of new systems and a lot of stuff in
our company.
And I have had two days, a few days last week and a few days this week.
And I think it might be some of the first times in both my daughter's lives.
My oldest is three that there's been days where I wake up in the morning, I see him
before or I wake up, go to the gym, come home, I see him for a few minutes, get ready for
work and I leave.
And then the next time I see him is the following morning.
So I'm gone doing stuff, working, you know, putting all the work I can in doing my absolute
best.
And then by the time I get home, they're already asleep.
And for me, that's really hard because that's they're they're mainly my motivation.
And I mean, I'm doing everything I'm doing now for my family, for my daughters.
And so that would probably be one of the toughest things is trying to find the balance in time
management as from being an entrepreneur and also having kids and being a part of your
kids' lives.
I firmly believe now's the time.
I mean, like our kids are young and it's important to have obviously an impact on them.
But I think that's that's where my wife comes in.
I'm here.
I'm able to trust her being at home and I'm able to know that she's providing every single
thing that the that my kids need right now while they're developing.
And my goal at this point is to build something so successful that by the time they're in
junior high, you know, 10, 12 years old and my personal time with them is even more important.
I want to be able to have that time.
And so I want to grind now and be able to do that later rather than sacrifice work and
be able to spend more times with them, watching them grow up at this age and then not be able
to do that when you know, in those years, which I in my opinion are way more important
for development when you're learning about the real world, when you're going into high
school and you're learning how to drive and all this kind of stuff.
I want time to be there for that.
So you know, it's really the sacrifices and that's the number one sacrifice for me is
it's time of the family.
So I think that's probably for me right now, at least I think it changes as you move through
your business life and your home life progresses.
Things change a little bit.
Like I said in the beginning, it was money.
Now it's not, fortunately.
But yeah, now it's it's family time.
So so to sum it up, what is the toughest part of your what is the toughest part of entrepreneurship
to you and your answers balancing work and home life, which is the assignment, find it
is pretty synchronized with the next question, which is well, and real quick notice guys
that this podcast is, you know, in our intro, it's our assignment to find.
So that should tell you right there that we haven't fully found the balance.
OK, so as we progress and as we you know, this podcast moves forward, the goal is to
find that at some point.
I know we will and I know it's an ongoing battle and it may take years.
And you know, listening to some podcasts like Ed Mylett this morning, he had a podcast with
I forget the guy's name, but they were talking about that.
They're talking about their marriage and how how working and building a business out of
their 500 square foot home, him and his wife and trying to make time to not talk about
their business at the dinner table to make sure they had time for themselves.
Like it's it's an ongoing process.
So you know, you guys are on this journey with us to find this balance, which I think
is really important to recognize.
All right.
And so the next question goes pretty well with the last one with your answer for the
last one.
How have you been attempting to balance home life and work life?
So what have you been implementing?
Maybe some results.
I think I think attempt is honestly the key word because I think I'm constantly at least
my wife and I were constantly trying to find new things like today before I even came to
to record today.
I was talking to my wife and you know, she's just like, yeah, it's been a little hard at
home.
The kids are going a little bit crazier than normal.
We just got a new puppy and that has been really exciting.
The puppy is really well behaved.
She's her name's Mania, which is we have a kind of thing for like Greek mythology and
stuff like that.
So Mania is a goddess of insanity.
She's a goddess of the dead.
So we love the name and she's she literally pretty much came to us potty trained right
out the litter ringing the bell to go outside.
So that's been a lot more helpful.
But our daughters, they yeah, they're a little bit more crazy right now.
I think also they're they're you know, they're toddlers and one's three, one's almost two.
So that whole phase is beginning and I can tell my wife's really stressed out.
And you know, so I told her today, I was like, hey, why don't we go do a staycation at a
resort for a couple of nights just to get away and kind of get more to get her way.
I'm already away.
Last thing I want to do is sacrifice more time with my children.
But without me, my wife being on the same page and our relationship being strong, that's
not going to do any good for our daughters.
So like my main priority is my wife and my relationship with her, because our daughters
will see that they'll feel that and we'll be a lot better in a better position, we'll be
a lot stronger mentally, a lot more patient, we'll be on the same page.
Like it's just it'll trickle down to where it even though we may not be spending so much
time with them, they're going to be able to see our strong relationship and they're going
to be able to feel that love from us.
And we're going to be able to provide even more of ourselves to them rather than if we're
not on the same page, if we're struggling and our relationship is not good, that's only
going to be worse for our kids.
It would be better off of them.
It's better that they have less time with us so we can work on ourselves and them having
all the time in the world with us and us not being me and my wife not being on a good page.
So I going back into the topic of how am I trying to balance work life and home life.
I'm trying.
I think that's just the real thing.
We're obviously trying to schedule better or I'm trying to schedule better my work stuff
so I can make sure I'm at home at a certain time.
I'm having to give up time on Saturdays.
Like right now I'm here recording instead of being at home my family.
So I want to make sure that like the time I do have with them, like when I go home,
it's also organized.
Like I got plans.
We got stuff that we're doing.
It's no no phone trying to make sure I'm giving them my full attention completely.
And on top of that, my wife is doing a better job at what as well as organizing the home.
So by the time I get home, she doesn't have to clean do all of her cleaning then she doesn't
have to go running around doing all these errands.
She tries to get that done during the day.
And luckily, unfortunately for us, like if you guys watch our previous podcasts where
we were the caregivers of my younger brother and sister Bella and Gunnar.
So they're they've been a great help being able to babysit a little bit.
But that's also created time so that like me and Ashtyn, we both can be there with our
daughters.
So I think I think it really comes down to organization and it comes down to priorities.
And like I said, right now, business is a priority scaling this business building it
so that I can have the time later on when it's even more crucial to be with them is
important.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to be non-existent at home.
So organizing time and you know, going to the gym has been great.
Getting more energy, being able to stay up a little bit later with my wife and do more
activities with my girls.
I remember before I went to the gym, I like Saturdays was like a relax day for me.
And I remember one one weekend there was like the world's biggest like bounce house or something
like that comes to town a couple of times a year.
And I was out here in Chandler and we drove by and I was like, you know, I'm going to
take my daughter to that an hour at like 10 a.m. on Saturday being with her.
I was completely done.
I couldn't do it anymore.
I was like, OK, we got to go.
Let's get out of here.
And she could hardly walk.
So like I had to carry her around and jump with her.
And now I guarantee I could do that for three hours.
So I can even have now I can have longer memories, better memories and more consistent memories
with my daughters and playing around and stuff because we're going to the gym.
So I think that's really important to on the balance of the work and home life is that
you're able to be more present when you're at home and you're at work.
You're able to be more present as well.
So that goes into the gym, which if you watched a little of our podcast last week or episode
two, we talked a little bit about how important fitness and health is.
And I didn't really dive too deep.
We'll dive a little more into it later down the road.
But I think those two things right now are kind of really my focus points on trying to
figure out how to balance homework or home life and work life.
And like I said, it's hard as I'm going to process.
I think I fail every day at trying to figure out the best way to balance that.
And I'm hoping to continue to discover more and more aspects to that and actually get
them implemented.
So that's what I would say.
All right.
So the question was, how have you been attempting to balance home and home life and work life?
I wrote down a couple of key things you said a lot of time for vacation to focus in with
family time only being there for key moments, no phone.
So minimizing the phone, appreciating what your wife provides for the home.
As you mentioned, cleaning and keeping things together, running the home life while you're
at work, organizing time to be more present with your family.
Yeah.
And just kind of thinking reviewing that, you know, the more vacations, it's kind of
funny because I feel I don't really care.
And I'm not saying I feel like I'm judged, but I do feel like I've had people comment
like, oh, you're going to Mexico a second time or a third time this year.
Must be really nice.
And then, you know, I listen to these podcasts and these podcasts like there's people that,
you know, are have really big companies and they're like, yeah, I haven't taken a vacation
in 10 years.
I think there's different ways things can work for everybody, obviously.
And for me, I think it's really important to have these vacations because like, yeah,
I may sacrifice three weeks out of the year and be away from work.
But during those three weeks, I'm solidifying a better relationship with my wife and my
family, which helps me operate at a higher capacity when I am at work.
And it is hard to separate the time.
Like when I'm at, you know, we just went to Mexico a few, few weeks back and I did.
I had morning meetings from eight to nine.
I was going to the gym in the morning before that and I had some phone calls to take during
the day.
And so, you know, again, there's a balance there.
I wasn't completely gone.
I still had to do some stuff.
But I do think that if I didn't go on these vacations or if I didn't go to the staycation
of my wife that I'm planning on to go in a few weeks just for a weekend, that my relationships
with the people that are my biggest support would be weaker.
And due to that, I would perform so much worse and at a lesser capacity than I could be.
And so that three weeks is worth the ride.
For example, or I guess the way to compare it is like an investment.
Right.
So like, hey, if you take 500 bucks, you put into a stock that is a great stock.
Sure, you're going to be out that five hundred dollars and you could have maybe used that
to do stuff or to buy stuff that you needed.
But you sacrifice it for two months.
And in the long run, obviously, the payout could be way time, you know, way bigger.
And this this way that I do it with the vacations and making time to go out and do stuff with
my wife, who is 22 at home with two teenage kids and two toddlers and a new dog, trying
to figure out how to balance that and not lose her mind.
I think that's really important.
And I think that helps us operate even more, help us helps us operate better and helps
my wife feel that we're more of a team rather than me being here and her being there and
feeling alone.
And then same thing for me.
My wife is able to provide more advice.
And that's this is a tangent I'm going to go on real quick.
I don't know.
I've talked about it a lot with my wife and how important it is.
But those of you that are building businesses and or are business owner and you're married,
I guarantee that you guys could agree with me that your wives play an important role.
My wife is not directly involved with my company, but I do consider it our company.
She's not.
She doesn't make decisions.
She doesn't come here.
She doesn't yell at people.
She doesn't get people organized.
She doesn't run jobs.
She doesn't sell jobs.
And her job is to be at home and take care of my of our children.
And but when I talk with her and I share my anxiety, I share my stress, I share the stuff
that's going on, the stuff that annoyed me during the day, the stuff that went well during
the day, the cells that we got, the progress that we're making, her input is huge.
Her support is huge.
And so again, I think I've said it so many dang times in this episode alone on how important
that your relationship is with your spouse or the person that you're building your business
with or that you have someone at home building your home while you're building a business
is that relationship is so dang crucial to, you know, it's going to play a role in how
hard your hardships are in entrepreneurship is going to play a role in how motivated and
dedicated you are at work inside outside of the home.
It's going to play a role in literally every aspect.
And I don't know.
I remember listening to a podcast and I don't want to say the person's name just in case
it's wrong, but it's someone who has a very successful podcast and or has a successful
life.
And he said, I wish I could go back and find a spouse instead of go about a life of the
single life because I felt like I would have been in it.
And I don't want to butcher this, but it was either he was either going to be more he could
have been more successful than where he is now, or he could have got to where he's at
even quicker if he had someone to come home to someone to support him, someone to be by
his side throughout the entire process.
And I believe I guess I will say I believe it was Tate.
What's his last name?
Andrew Tate.
Yeah, I believe it was Andrew Tate and one of his videos he mentioned that and I'm actually
going to fact check that makes I would love to find that again.
But I that just hit me really hard.
And I think it's really important for those of you that don't have someone to lean on
when you come home.
If you're building a business, you have to at least have a support system.
It is one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.
Next to leaving the country for two years and being jumping into a country where I didn't
speak the language and not being able to fend for myself because I didn't know what anybody was
saying that was really hard.
And I'm sure I'm going to have even, you know, harder things in the future.
But I love adversity because it helps me grow and makes me feel like I'm progressing and
I know it betters me.
So anyways, I think that, you know, reiterate and maybe even some of this entire podcast
really balancing your relationships with those that are close to those that support you on
this journey of business, on this journey of building an amazing home and work life.
That person at your right hand is the most important person on this journey.
So well, that all the questions?
Yeah that's
Three.
We could ask some more if you want.
Or I think we got some time.
Let's go over one more.
We got one more question actually.
And it's what are some moments in your home life and work life that you have found growth
in failure?
Repeat that one more time.
So what are some moments in your home life and or work life that you have found growth
in failure?
The lessons you've learned from taking an L.
You know, it's a great way to put it.
Well, it's funny because a lot of the songs I listen to, they talk about how they don't
get L's and all they get is W's.
And I don't I think you do maybe get that at a certain point, but I think failure is
a part of life.
If you are not failing consistently, then you're really not growing, especially when
you're starting something, especially on a startup.
I do have less mistakes in my opinion or less failures on a daily basis than I did four
years ago, but they're not non-existent.
They're still there.
And that goes that it doesn't matter whether I'm talking about my business or I'm talking
about at home or even if I'm talking about in the gym.
You know, I just we did maxes last week and I could only get I got less than what I wanted
to.
That's a failure.
But I think some of the most important failures or I guess pinnacle failures in my life with
home and business comes down to and I'm not sure if I talked about this in one of the
other episodes, but I'll dive a little deeper is actually I did talk about it and I was
wrong on the year.
I thought it was 2020, the Christmas of 2020, but it was actually the Christmas of 2019.
When I had zero dollars.
Well, actually, you know what?
That's like I had like a hundred and twenty seven dollars and some change in my bank account
and I had gone a little bit more.
So it's just under two hundred dollars and we were playing.
We had planned a trip.
My father-in-law bought a or rented out a cabin up in the mountains of Colorado.
We were going there for Christmas and previously like to that, like the summer and spring before
that I had a lot of work and we had a lot of jobs and things were going pretty smooth
and I was working with my hands as well.
And so but something happened and coming towards October, November when things really slow
down and construction, if you don't have marketing, if you don't have systems in place, if you
don't have something going on, if you're just working with your hands and job after job
and not really trying to scale, though you get slow seasons.
Now I don't believe in slow seasons because of the operations and the systems and the
marketing that's in place.
I don't believe in slow system seasons anymore.
But then the way I was operating, there was definitely slow times and that's towards the
end of the year because people are throwing parties for Thanksgiving, Christmas.
They're buying Christmas presents.
The last thing they want to do is spend 10 grand on a bathroom remodel.
And even then, it was cheaper than it is now.
So I didn't plan ahead and I didn't anticipate and I didn't have very much work and I did
that Christmas came and I didn't even have money to pay for the gas in my truck to take
my pregnant wife and I up to Colorado.
And so my father in law had to help.
I had to get help from family and from my church to pay my rent, pay my auto insurance
and all that kind of stuff.
And that was probably one of the top three biggest failures or moments of failure that
I felt like, okay, I am literally, I've been beaten down and it comes down to that pivotal
moment of like, do I get up or do I stay down and find a different way of going about it?
And I remember a lot of justification went through my mind.
Okay, you know what?
It's okay.
It's not a big deal.
I can try this again later on down the road.
Why don't I just go get a job here?
Why do I build a little bit of money first, then try again?
Why don't I do it a little differently and just stop right now and again, start up later?
And all that went through my head and that moment of deciding to keep on moving forward,
that was the moment that has built and brought me here and built everything that we have
today.
I really think that failure is very important because without that moment, say that moment
didn't happen, say it just was a little slow, I was hurting just a little bit, but I wasn't
completely down to just nothing.
I had a little money in my bank, but I was also in debt.
I owed money.
I had credit cards maxed out that I was trying to fund, to fund the business with.
And so I was in even more debt.
And so let's say that didn't happen.
Let's say I was doing all right.
I had a job coming up and had a little money.
I was able to go to Colorado and things were okay for the next three years and things got
better and I get here today.
I may be, I may have had the opportunity to be the exact same place I am today, but what
I learned and the emotions that I felt and the control and mental toughness and the surpassing
the threshold that I thought I had breaking that down and going even further pushing and
believing in myself even more.
All of that I would never have learned.
I do think that would have been a culprit to why I wouldn't have, I wouldn't be where
I'm at today if I had not had that and I still would have kept pushing.
I don't think I would have learned those important lessons that really shaped me to become the
the business owner I am today, to become the dad, the friend that I am today.
There's still things that I think I've fallen at, things that I don't think I'm the best
at.
I just, I have accepted the fact that failure is going to come, right?
And without failure, how can I get better?
If I'm perfect, there's no way to better myself.
There's no way to progress.
There's nothing to progress to.
I don't want that life.
That sounds like a very boring life to me because the amount of dopamine, the amount
of happiness that I get when I exceed a max, when I, for example, looking back to that
Christmas to where I am now, you guys can only imagine how I might feel having been
able to look back and actually say, you know what?
It worked.
I did it.
And I don't feel like I've done it because I do feel like I'm not even close to being
what people consider successful.
Some people can tell me, hey, you have a successful company, great job.
Oh, like look at everything you build.
Like, that's great.
But I still feel, I still don't feel that.
And all these failures, like I just want to just get rid of them and make, you know, can
get rid of one at a time and go on to the next one and keep on pushing because I'm excited
to get the life lessons, to get the extra mental toughness, to learn more about myself,
my dedication, my motivation, pushing myself past levels that I didn't think I could.
And I think a lot of that for me comes from sports in high school, playing football that,
you know, those days that you couldn't move one more foot, you couldn't do one more play,
couldn't do one more thing where I needed to go get water and not being able to do it,
that created that mental toughness in me.
And I think for me, that plays a huge role into why I am the way I am today and why I
parent the way I parent and why I treat people the way I treat them, why I believe so much
in people even when they don't believe in themselves.
And I think failures are the mainstream to really become successful.
It's one of the things that you have to go through.
So for those of you that are having failures in your life, for those of you that are at
rock bottom, if you're like me and you're having that moment right now, Christmas of
2019, keep going.
Don't give up.
There's still moments in my life where I'm like, you know, I watch, I want to be so successful
on such a high level and there's not very many people that have done the level that
I'm trying to do in construction specifically.
And I have those moments where I'm like, maybe I should continue my company, you know, still
be successful, keep pushing, but maybe I should start something a little bit different.
And that's going to really get me there.
Like maybe I should start a product line or, you know, whatever the case is, something
where clients are not a one time type of a deal, but where they're reoccurring every
30, 60, 90 days.
I think about that a lot and I get that little voice in my head that says, yeah, that's going
to be easier.
Maybe put more focus there.
And this is just something that got you started.
But my passion's here.
And so I have to overcome that every single day, if not multiple times a day that no,
I'm going to break the threshold.
And the reason I feel that way and the reason I believe in myself that I can is because
I broke the threshold multiple times in my life.
So I've been able to develop and practice that.
And now I believe in myself as this is harder than it was in football.
This is harder than it was in 2019.
And so I'm able to continue to really believe in myself to actually get past that.
So I think for those of you who have failures in your life, for those of you that are struggling
with stuff, please remember that this is just one moment on the infinite timeline and push
through it because you're not going to regret it.
If you put action in results will come.
There is no doubt about it.
I don't care if it's a little bit of action.
You might get a little bit of a reward, but you're still going to get something for what
you put in.
That's how life works.
The more action you put in, the more results you're going to get.
And so if you're at that moment where you got to break that threshold, put more action
in, stop thinking, go do don't think about it, push it, risk it all, whatever you got
to do, believe in yourself and make it work because you're the only person that can make
it work.
You're the only person that can even get you close to where you want to be and don't listen
to other people.
And again, you're going to have people that care about you, that love you, that really,
truly, truly, truly only want the best for you.
And their opinion of what's the best for you is going to be very different from yours.
So make sure you hold your ground.
Make sure you believe in yourself enough to know that, Hey, this sounds great, but I know
I can do this and I'm going to keep pushing and let them know, support me in this.
I'm going, I'm going full, full blown towards the wall.
I'm going to run straight for it.
Support me in this.
Okay.
And that's, you're also going to find out the people who do support you, right?
Who to surround yourself by.
So anyways, sum it all up.
Failure guys is part of life.
And even if you're not building a company, you're still going to find failure.
Even if you give up right now and you go work at McDonald's, you're still going to have
failure.
You're still going to screw up an order.
Okay.
You're still going to wake up late to go to work.
You're still going to, you know, there's failure in everything we do.
You cannot get away from failure.
So why are you going to let failure stop you now?
Because if you stop and you go somewhere else, you're going to find more failure.
So push through it, get through it, keep going.
Don't stop believing in yourself.
And if you got to wake up and do your affirmation every morning, look in the mirror and say,
I can do this, whatever you got to do, find the way that works and find it quick and go
for it.
So I think, well, yeah, I mean, great questions.
So I, I 100% believe in everything that we've talked about today.
And I know it works because again, I'm trying to show from my experience and, and it's worked.
So I know if you guys put it to the test, it's absolutely going to work for you.
And again, it may be in different methods, but the principles say the same.
They're universal.
