| 0:00.0 | And you start to like wonder, well, what happens when, you know, like I'm doing all these check-ins, maybe I'm doing one-on-one calls and, you know, I'm doing all these things. |
| 0:09.1 | What happens when, like, I max out and I don't have enough time to be able to fulfill on these customers? |
| 0:14.9 | And the problem with that is you don't even have clients. |
| 0:18.8 | And so you're trying to solve a problem that truly doesn't exist. |
| 0:21.7 | And the reason that's so inefficient is to effectively solve a problem that isn't actually in |

| 1:18.9 | most coaches who try to have everything perfect before taking action will continuously catch |
| 1:23.8 | themselves in this cycle of paralysis by analysis. right? And as a result of that, they |
| 1:30.0 | never end up taking enough action, let's just say over the course of a year, to accumulate |
| 1:35.2 | enough chances to eventually lead to some of these things working. Okay. Let me give you an example. |
