Many of them are divorced or estranged from family.
And
They don't even have the knowledge to be able to take care of themselves because they've put business on such a pedestal and they've put achieving financial freedom so that you can have the time to do all these other things you want to do, like focus on health.
I have five key priorities in life and business is fifth.
And, uh,
My priorities in life are, number one, God.
So I care for my spirit, I care for my soul, and I take care of my union to God by the very first thing when I get up in the morning, being gratitude journaling, prayer, reading the Bible, talking to God, and feeding and caring for and working out the one part of the human existence that I believe will go on for eternity, for better or worse, and that in many people is shriveled and shrunk up and
on a pedestal.
And paradoxically, you get to the point where you've made the money and had the career, but you're sick and unhealthy and don't have access to the knowledge or the practices or the routines that you need.
You know, there's another saying that a human being reaches a certain stage in life where they would pay anything for good health or their health becomes a top priority because you can make money, but you can't make time and you can't make health.
uncared for and neglected.
And so God is the first priority of the day.

I think what's important here and what I'm getting at is I've intentionally built my business much more slowly because my business is my fifth order of priority in life.

I have five key priorities in life and business is fifth.
My priorities in life are number one, God.
