Welcome back to the QOTS. The day show I'm your host, Sean Crox and a Sean Crox and

.com. Money mindset. We continue with our main man, Bob Proctor. And this is actually

0:43.0

two clips that I put together. I combined. And the first part is one of my favorite

0:48.0

Bob Proctor clips ever because we hear so often money won't make you happy. Why do you need more money?

0:54.0

And go make you happy on on on. And Bob provides the perfect comeback for that. The second part
