And boundaries, like keep what I say most important to me.

And they, they exemplify that.

Like what I am saying is most important to me is reflected in my calendar.

It is reflected in my bank account is reflected in the way I show up every single day.

And so it's, it's a muscle that you have to learn to flex.

And it takes time because I think that, you know, there was a time in my life where I got paid $50 to take pictures of a cat and I couldn't believe

Leave it.

Like somebody is paying me to do something.

I love, this is amazing.

And what a blessing that is.

And the better that you get at listening to your gut and discerning like, well, this is a great opportunity, but is it the right opportunity for me?

It keeps you in alignment so that you are not passing up things that you should be saying yes to and that you are not saying yes to things that you should be saying no to.

And so I feel like I just have a really strong intuition and a gut game, and I don't apologize for saying no any longer because my no is literally just a reflection of what is mattering the most to me right now.

I feel like I've realized that our peace is so expensive and life is so short.

And I definitely am not anti-hustle culture because I do believe hustle is required to get the dream off the ground, no matter what the dream is.

There have been so many points in my career where I get an idea or have a project or something like, yeah, I can hustle.

But if hustle is the only way that you can operate and sustain what you're building, that is not a business.

Like you are building a prison for yourself.

And I've watched so many people who have really successful businesses and really lousy lives.

Like they are rich in their bank accounts and empty in relationships.
