| 0:00.0 | What do you actually want? That's one of the hardest things for us to figure out. |
| 0:04.4 | That's one of the hardest things for us to identify is what do we really actually want? |
| 0:08.8 | What are the goals? Because if you tell me the goals, if you tell me what you really want then we can start to come up with a |
| 0:15.1 | plan to help get you there and get you there in the most efficient and effective |
| 0:19.1 | manner but what most people have is they say or they think that they want this freedom and this lifestyle and they want to make a million bucks and they want this and that and the other. |

| 1:27.0 | would if we just had a corporate job. |
