You're right.

You're right.

And again, you need people that will not drain you and take you down with this, right? Because that's also easy. People will be so timid for you that they will start taking you down. Well, so don't try so much, right? And there's the Richard Benson quote, the brave don't live forever, but cowards don't live at all, which is kind of what we're saying. And I love that example that you just gave.

I think it's so beautiful. There's another great saying, you're going to always overestimate what you can do in a year, but we always going to underestimate what we can do in a decade. So we never really get started, which I think is sort of what you're saying. Let me ask you one of the questions that I think our listeners, if that's okay, will really care about.

I love that. And we say that to our clients to do the most important thing first. Otherwise, you just continue to push it.

It's because I'm scared or I don't know what, and I don't want to, and I don't feel like it. Like there's something holding me back. And if we can actually move this away, we can actually move forward, right? So I absolutely love that, Dan. We always end with an advice to your younger self.
