0:00.0	Welcome back, fellow business building warrior. This is your friend Jim, and we're going to talk about a very
0:08.0	interesting topic today. Now, you may not think that this is a business topic when you read the title,
0:13.9	but it most certainly is, and we're going to dive into it just a little bit. Now, the reason I'm doing
0:20.0	this isn't because it popped into my head
0:21.9	randomly, but there was a post on Facebook in our My Silent Team Facebook group, right? We're coming up on
0:30.2	about 40,000 members there. It's a very active group. It's all online, internet-based business building warriors like you and me
0:39.7	hanging out from around the world. There's about 40,000 of us. It's crazy. And when you think of
0:45.6	that number, I know it sounds large, but it's even bigger when you consider it this, this way.
0:51.1	We don't let just anyone into that group. You may not realize it, but for the past several months,
0:57.3	everyone who's joined that free Facebook group has been asked a series of three questions,
1:02.7	and if they don't respond appropriately or correctly, they're not let into the group.
1:08.4	So for every 1,500 people or so that want to come in, we only let in about 900 of them.
1:15.0	That's about the average.
1:16.6	So almost 40% or so, I'm doing the math real quick in my head.
1:20.4	You know, they don't get in.
1:22.0	So we're letting in just a small trickle of people per day who are taking the time to answer our questions and answering them properly. Well, I made a post in that Facebook group, and it took off. It was very much
1:34.5	a topic of debate and discussion, and people were interested. And I've got to say that,
1:39.2	based on my rough estimation, about 80% of everyone agreed with my take on this issue. And I'm fine with people
1:46.7	disagreeing, by the way. It doesn't matter to me in the slightest. If I ever find myself
1:52.0	surrounded by people who only agree with me, then I'm not leading a very effective life. I mean,
1:57.7	I love open discussion and honest discussion. Facebook isn't always the best place for some topics.
2:03.5	Sitting down in person to person is the best place for many of the more controversial things that we encounter on Facebook.
