Oh, well, hey, I appreciate it. Gosh. I don't know. I don't know, man. We went all over the place here. This is what I love to do. Yeah. I mean, I think if anything, you know, just encouraging people to be outcome focused, encouraging people to, you know, we heard this great thing about internal, external locus of control. You were talking about that earlier. Like, I'm in charge of this.

I'm in charge. And You know, letting people understand that, like, you are in control. Every decision that you make, every action that you take determines the slope of your line. It determines the velocity of your business. It determines the quality of your life. And, you know, you can do that in a franchise model. You can do that in your personal life. You can do it in direct business.

But at the end of the day, man, like, it's body of work. And every action that you take or every inaction that you should have taken that you didn't, it's a plus or a minus check, man. And at the end of the day, there's a tally. At the end of the week, there's a tally. And at the end of your life, there's a tally. And just for God's sake, stop worrying about what other people think.

Stop making decisions based on ego. We had a great conversation this week, man. People – there's these HVAC guys and some of them have 11 locations and they're like, yeah, we should have stayed in one location because it was our ego that drove us to open up those other cities. And they weren't fully committed. So, I mean, I hate that I have to be 56 years old.
