There was this little voice inside me that just said, you got to do something about this.

I had no money, no education, but I just felt compelled to follow this little voice.

And the trouble is there's so much noise in the marketplace and there's so many expectations of your friends, your parents, your fellow entrepreneurs, the government, the economy.

And it's really easy to get pulled in so many different directions that you ultimately don't go anywhere.

My suggestion, just turn everything off.

Don't listen to anybody for any reason except yourself.

I think that as an entrepreneur, we all know that you have too much to accomplish and not enough time to do it in.

And so burnout is pretty easy to hit.

And what I like to try to help people understand

learn to do, at least from a nutritional perspective and the algae is how, how not to get burned out because ultimately being an entrepreneur, I feel is a marathon, not a sprint.

And, um, particularly if you're building a brand, you can't build a brand overnight.

So, um,

finding ways to accomplish your goal and not burn and not die in the process.

I saw a quote recently that really resonated with me.

Whether you're an entrepreneur or you have a vision, it's about being of service, but it's not about being

It's not about servitude.

And so I think in many cases, those of us with a big vision end up sliding into the servitude because we do have to sacrifice stuff, but you don't have to get to servitude.

You need to pull it back to service and be realistic about what it's going to take so that you don't give up.

Yeah.

Well, I knew as much about algae as anybody else currently does, which is zero.
