If we're friends, my family, my friends, we're all together. My kids are the same way, my wife's the same way.

We're in this battleship together. And we either win together or we sink together. There's no way

off the battleship. We're in it together. I've got your back. You've got mine. You know,

when you trust partners, you trust business vendors and relationships and business, you gotta remember that a lot of those folks aren't trustworthy. Like they're out for their own business and you gotta worry about your business first. When it comes to regret, when it comes to feeling guilty, is that you can only do what you can only do. And if you don't like the results, change what you're doing.

But you got to stay focused. You got to stay believing in yourself. You got to stay hungry.

You got to make sure that no matter what, you don't get stagnant, no matter what you stay humble,

you have to be able to pay attention to what's in front of you. That's why the windshield's bigger

than the rear view mirror. That's why you got to look forward and not backward. It is so important when we go through our days, you're not going to get everything done that you want to get done sometimes. That's going to happen. You're not going to feel like you gave 100%. The fact that you have this guilt, the fact that you have this regret, this feeling of, I could have gave more. I could have done more. I could have just one more push up, one more f*** sit up, one more phone call, one more effort to fix that relationship. You start to do that, that's a good thing. Just don't spend a lot of time doing it because what are you doing if I'm spending a lot of time doing it? I'm not focusing on today, which is right in front of me. I'm still focusing on the past. The goal is to focus on today and tomorrow, but it's okay. It's healthy

to have this guilt and regret of I could have done more yesterday because what is it going to do?

That's going to push you more today. That's going to put you in the moment right now to go out

and crush the f*** day to not wait for the day to come to you, but you're going to go get the day

to not one day I'm going to be successful, but day one I'm going to be successful. Anybody runs a business that tells me, I'm good with just doing this. It's full of shit. They're not good with it. They're lazy or they're scared. They're never good with it. Nobody's good with just doing, you know what it's good with being mediocre. You don't run a business because you want to be mediocre. When you're an entrepreneur, you don't want to feel handcuffed or caged. You want to create your own map. You want to lay down the bricks on that map and you want to run on those bricks. And in order to do that, you have to evolve. You have to self-improve. You have to change. I look at myself and all the good and all the bad that I've been through the last eight years in that whole journey. I'm so much smarter and

have so much more wisdom than I would have had a year ago, three months ago, five years ago, like I'm like, holy crap, I'm a whole different person. And I'm excited to know in one year from now, I'm going to be even more smarter because I'm continuing to self-improve. I'm continuing to learn from my failures. I'm continuing to struggle through things, right? And I talk a lot about in the podcast about blessings and battles. And, you know, maybe you guys are going through a battle right now. Maybe you're not. But I'm a big believer of every battle you go through. There's a blessing at the end. There's either a blessing like you learned what happened in that battle and you got better from it. That experience gave you the knowledge and wisdom to navigate the next time something like that comes up or you know,

you're enjoying your blessings now and just be prepared. Another battle is supposed to come. That's

how life works. It's battles than blessings and battles than blessings. And sometimes you're not

sure what those blessings are, but they're there. Like the blessing that I got from the company

closing, which is horrific,

is now I get to take all this knowledge and be able to help elevate and help other people. And that's exciting. It's like having, you know, I have four kids. It's like my son throws a touchdown pass. I get jacked up. When, you know, anybody I'm coaching goes out and crushes it, I get excited. I'm Like, hell yeah, like I feel like I'm making a dent in this place and it feels good. I'm fulfilled. I'm happy. It's not about

money. It's not about success. It's about fulfillment and feeling happy. And so I would challenge each one of you to make sure that you're finding a way to self-improve and that you're finding a way to get fulfillment and happiness inside rather than just sitting stagnant and assuming you know it all. because you don't.

And as the world evolves,

you've got to evolve with it.

No one will ever tell me, stagnant and assuming you know it all because you don't and as the world evolves you've got to evolve
