because we work with a lot of entrepreneurs.

In the beginning, you're underpaid, but you have to feed your business until it feeds you.

You have to feed your brand until it feeds you back.

In the beginning, I just feel like we're underpaid, but then if you're consistent and you show up for yourself and show up for others and you're smart, you're learning, you're adapting, then eventually you're just overpaid because you have scale and you have leverage.

That's the ultimate goal is to amplify not only your income but your impact.

I mean, everybody will share this differently.

My values are very clear.

Everyone's values are different.

Me, it's love, growth, contribution, adventure.

And now that I know, because it's not just speed.

You know, my last name is Quick, and we teach people how to learn quick and think quicker and read quicker and remember things a fraction of the time.

But it's also direction.

A lot of people are going nowhere fast because they don't have that direction.

So I feel like beginning with the end in mind, I do this thought experiment.

I always think about my future self.

And I'm just thinking like, what would my future self want me to do right now in this moment?

So it really presence was most important where I put my time and my attention and the choices that I make on a daily because I want to make that person proud.

Whereas a lot of people, and I'm guilty of this and have been guilty in the past of this, they burden their future self.

I'll do this tomorrow or I'll deal with this tomorrow.

And then they're just like, oh, I do my time.
