0:00.0	Real quick guys, if you can think about how you found this podcast, somebody probably
0:03.8	tweeted it, told you about it, shared it on Instagram, or something like that.
0:07.5	The only way this grows is through word of mouth. And so I don't run ads, I don't do sponsorships,
0:12.2	I don't sell anything. My only ask is that you continue to pay it forward, do whoever showed you,
0:16.4	or however you found out about this podcast that you do the exact same thing. So if it was a review,
0:21.0	if it was a post, if you do that, it would mean the world to me and you'll throw some good comment
0:24.3	out there for another entrepreneur.
0:25.6	Everyone happy Tuesday, hope you guys are having an awesome week so far,
0:28.8	picked it off strong with a nice Monday. I have a short video that I wanted to make for you today,
0:35.2	or podcast depending on how you are consuming this content. So there are three topics that I
0:40.4	jotted down in my notes that I wanted to cover today. One is the concept of the zero tolerance

0:57.6	tied before you. So one of the reasons I wanted to make this is because I'm hoping that some of you
1:02.4	guys will tag your managers or some of your employees in this video so that they can better understand
1:07.9	you and how you work. The number one video I've ever made now of all time was the video on attention
1:12.7	and the new entrepreneur of gold. And so I kind of wanted to have this work as a little bit of a
1:15.9	sequel to that. But within the context of other people and how they play a role. And so the first
1:21.5	one I'll do this in reverse like middle order. So it's two and then the third thing and then the
1:26.8	first thing. But my definition of help. One of the hardest things for people to understand who
1:33.0	aren't entrepreneurs is that most of the time they're not helping you. They're usually hurting you.
1:37.1	And what I mean by that is that the definition of help as I understand it, you can google it or
