Yeah, this is going to get real deep, real quick. Between me and you and obviously all your listeners, it's like, I don't fear death at this point in my life. What I fear most is not living life on my terms and not making the most of every second and take advantage of opportunities and make an impact and contribute.
So any great idea or any way I could facilitate the growth of the brand, which enables us to make an impact and so forth is I'm all for it. And I don't really see fear in asking if somebody were to say no, whatever the case would be. And spoiler, it's not my business what anybody thinks of me. I'm sure there's people out there that don't love me, as I'm sure.

Hard to believe, but there might be people out there that doesn't love Heather. But it is what it is. And let's just be honest. There's people out there that we don't love. It is what it is. So you got to take a shot. You got to take a swing. And you have to have a sense of urgency and make every second count.

A hundred percent. And for being on Wall Street for 10, 11 years, like spoiler alert, like not every sale gets closed on the first ask, right? Sometimes you build a pipeline, you plant your seeds just as you attested to. And ultimately it's the long game mentality. And when I say long game, it's not to scare the audience.

Like it takes three to five years, but it's just that get first downs, get first down, sprinkle, plant some seeds and so forth. And they usually always pay off. If not, then then it comes back around when it's mutually beneficial. And obviously the other person sees it as a win-win. Timing is everything.

I just got to a place, Heather, where I was straight up miserable. Like, yes, it was lucrative, but as it turns out, and I'm sure you can attest to, success isn't measured only by how much money you make, right? Like for me, this season, it's measured by how happy I am or how big of an impact I make. And I was in a dark place. I had a bunch of things going on at once.

And ultimately, in the beginning of the pandemic, when there was a lockdown and I shut down my office, and I really grounded myself for the first time, maybe ever, and ask myself those deep, powerful questions, I realized I don't want this lockdown to end because I don't want to go back. It felt like hell. I was waking up, going to a J-O-B, even though lucrative and my own business, but for what?

What's the point? And this ties back to that deep analogy. There's a eulogy exercise that I recently posted on social media And it goes back to the concept of death. And I really got deep with myself. And I was like, if this was it for me, like in a couple of weeks, like what would people say about at my funeral? Like, yes, I had some good relationships, some good friends, family, and so forth.
