And the reality is most people go home.

And so I would try to get them to do something really small that they could start to get some momentum, start to believe in themselves, start to see some progress.

And those things become naturally addictive in the best possible way.

And what were the tools?

Like, not just the feeling of I've done in the past, but like, what were the tools, the resources, the things that made it possible?

Let's bring those forward to make it possible again.

Yeah.

That's, you know, and it's the same, like we would, you know, if you told me about a business idea that really worked for you, I would ask you about like, well, what was present?

And often we forget it, but then...

If you dissect it, you find some truth there that you can bring forward.

But most people go, they say things like, don't look back.

You're not going that direction.

And we lose all this personal knowledge and all this personal expertise.

And then it does feel overwhelming.

Like I have to be a brand new person.

I don't get to bring any tools forward.

Like that's intimidating.

Yeah, to me that's a much more manageable, agreeable definition because then it's you're the person you want to be.

Like your actions reflect the person you want to be where you're the mom you want to be and your actions show that.

You're the writer you want to be.
