What is up fire nation I am super excited and grateful to be here on this call with Mr. John Lee Dumas so guys real quick what is something that I believe most people most entrepreneurs should have done or take for granted and when I when I look back of my entrepreneurship career I'm 41 years old and I wish I would have done a lot more personal development in my 20s.

I was funny because in up until about three or four years ago I thought all that stuff was voodoo I thought law of attraction was voodoo it didn't really work I thought you know the vibration laws the the spiritual laws of success I didn't really learn about that stuff up until a few years ago and I believe if I would have learned about it quicker I would have been richer quicker and I think one of the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is they don't think.

They don't think big enough they don't use their imagination enough to believe in what is possible see I believe I think the entrepreneurs that make it are the ones that are naive about success meaning like if I call it like entrepreneur syndrome meaning like if they can do it why not me and I believe that most people don't have that that that that quality about their personality and they always are are haunted by.

So they are are haunted by circumstances and outside forces and people that are going to be judging them and to get break out of that so judgment doesn't play effect of your self esteem yourself confidence yourself worth is by doing more personal development we get people less

prone to depression or even killing themselves there's mental health issues and I think all mental health health issues can be solved if people did more person development listen to more about proctor listen to more
