Well, hey there, friends, welcome back to the podcast.

This is episode number 34. We're going to talk about why do we keep lying to ourselves about like waiting on the right

timing especially when it comes to like building business growing a business focusing on business

etc yes i am putting on some makeup and you're watching on youtube so i just realized okay i started

i started this without um i started this and totally didn't have myself put together.

So it is what it is.

It is what it is.

Hi, guys.

And no, I'm not wearing a curtain or a tablecloth.

I am obsessed, just so you know, with this cute jacket that I have on which was like viral on um Amazon

and sometimes I'm like okay are people just saying it's viral on Amazon is it really as good

as people say it is it actually really is I love it and my husband loves it so there's that um so

there we're just I got the lip gloss on I told you about my cute coat. Now let's

talk about right timing. Okay. All right. So, friends, Jason and I have this joke. For those of

And I used to think to myself, how is it that like my parents would say things like they're so busy? I'm like, you're not busy. How can you be busy? You don't have any kids at home. How can you be so busy? And now we have, you know, we've launched kids. We've got a kiddo married. We've got three adult children. And I feel like we're still so busy. So if you are somebody who's also lying to yourself saying after

this season, you know, it'll really slow down. I can focus on business. You know, I can focus on the next
