| 0:05.1 | They don't have their what, they're who, they're how, they're now. |
| 0:08.2 | And they certainly aren't applying their why because their purpose is not greater than the pain of being an entrepreneur. |
| 0:14.7 | And I promise you, if you want to grow and utilize paying for that growth development, strengthening of who you are, |
| 0:23.3 | your essence, then your purpose better be greater than being the common denominator in the work, |
