One thing that I don't think anybody really talks about,

it's kind of touchy feely, but every single successful person I know

has a story like this.

I feel like I can rule the world.

I know I could be what I want to.

I put my all in it like no days off on a road.

All right, Sam, I want to do a short episode that is

about one specific topic, believers.

So a lot of founders I know

are interested in getting investors,

getting advisors.

I'm sure you hit up a lot in your email

for either, hey, will you invest in this will you

advise in this so I think everybody needs somebody in their career usually in your

early 20s that believes in you more than you believe in yourself at the time. They just have an

irrational belief. You're a penny stock, but they see you as a blue chip and they

want to buy up all your stock and they do that by spending time with you, by spending effort with you, sometimes investing you,

but it's not the advice, it's not the money that actually, now in hindsight when you look back is what mattered.

The thing that really mattered was this person believed in you more than you believed in yourself at the time and that they were

They almost trick you into believing in yourself or to just going forward and overcoming that initial like hesitation or doubts to just get going to where

finally your evidence will start to catch up.

And eventually you're fueled by your evidence and you're fueled by your own self-belief. It it's like jumping jump-starting a car that there's people in your life who do that.
