Then you should absolutely chase that because let me just tell you, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my entire life. I'm very uncomfortable. I speak like a robot. I'm very slow to speak. And that, even that was me having experienced my previous channel. And that's how bad I was at the beginning. But I still just had this dream or this idea of what this could mean for my life. And I think that if you're going to chase that, it has to be more than just, it's going to make me a lot of money. It's got to be something you actually think is going to be just a blast to do. But if you have ever had that thought and you aren't doing at least something to act on it, you're doing yourself a great disservice because the last thing you want in your life is to be 80 years old in your deathbed and looking back on things with major regret.
