Thank you. Another thing about work, work, partnerships, lawyers, agents, real estate agents, contractors, designers,

construction. Admit what you don't know.

I run into so many business problems because people are so either insecure or paranoid or think

they're going to get fired or in fear and have to prove that they know everything, that they act like they know everything. Like you're doing a deal and they just have answers for everything. You're doing this and they have answers for everything. You're traveling somewhere. They have to act like they know everything. You're designing something. Nobody knows everything and don't ever assume anyone's smarter than you. And I like to be surrounded by people, whether it's the president of my company, an agent, a representative, a doctor that will say what they don't know. Of course, they should know many things, but they will say what they don't know, a lawyer. Like, listen, I haven't seen this before. We will figure it out together. I don't exactly understand this. What do you think or let's all crowdsource? And I'll be then we can have a workshop and talk about it because most times I'll be like,

I'm going to call three people. And it could literally be. I'm calling Mark Cuban. I'm calling this big powerhouse. I'm calling Steve Cohen. I'm calling, you know, some of my powerhouse women that I know. and I'm going to ask, and I'm going to crowd source,

And as we get into dating sometimes, this guy was this guy on social who gives dating advice, he basically texted someone back immediately and said like, I'm not going to play games and I'm going to text you back right away because of blah, blah, blah. And I put in his comments, I was like, dude, you don't need to say all that. You need to be all that. Like, if someone texts you in a weird way and they are not responsive or they seem like it could take like 24 hours, like I had a guy that had his cadences to text and then like you won't hear from him again. You'll respond. You may not hear from him for 24 hours. Could be eight hours. Could be the next day. And they're like, oh, hey, sorry. Was that hey sorry was that my kids whatever it's like really you don't have fingers you're a successful person i know you're successful you're because it wouldn't be fucking going out with you if you weren't successful but you don't have fingers in a telephone like you're a fucking loser so i don't care i dismiss those people because they're fucking losers and And I text back right away because I'm a
