0:00.0	So I'll give you a little hack. You just articulated that what you are looking for is you're looking for people who are ready to fight and win. And it's not a mean fight. It's a positive fight. It's a fun fight. It's a we can do it type of fight. So where you're disheartened, and that's where you are, you're disheartened,
0:21.7	and then that is turning into defensiveness, which is then turning into aggression. We want
0:26.5	to switch that. You're disheartened. I want you to take a minute to figure out what's our
0:31.3	gap. So you're disheartened because this person, this coach is thinking, well, why wouldn't I get more of that? And what you
0:41.5	would love for them to be thinking instead is, wow, I got, what is it, 12, 13% of that? I can't
0:49.4	think of the number right now. It's something like that. I got 13% of that. The company, they handed me a client.
0:57.3	Okay. Now I've got an opportunity to turn that into 30% because I'll do my part and make

1:22.4	But that's an incredible offer.
1:24.4	Okay.
1:24.6	So this person is just not understanding that because, to your point, and it happens,
1:32.2	it happens. There are a lot of times people can be black and white in their thinking, so can you.
1:38.9	So yes, it's true that someone could be thinking, you got 70,100, I get a thousand, that's not fair. They don't
1:47.7	understand the business mechanics of it. Let's set that aside right now, because that's on them.
1:53.7	That's on them to figure out the business mechanics. What you're looking at right now is there's a
1:58.1	cultural gap. And all of the stress that you're having in
2:01.7	the company, I can almost guarantee you, is because there's a cultural gap between the culture that
2:07.7	together more would like to have and the culture that some people actually have. And the reason that
