But somewhere along the line, you've come off, you've kind of come away from your true North Star because you're following trends or you're going in a direction that your clients are taking you.

And you're almost too far in before you realize, hang on a minute, this isn't the path that I want to take.

But getting back to what you want, nobody's teaching this.

Yeah, of course.

And it's getting those foundations right.

And I recorded a podcast episode.

I was a guest yesterday and the host I was talking to, she was like, oh, my God, you will not believe this.

I spoke to somebody earlier, incredibly successful, living the life that she has has been working hard to do.

she runs her business from her phone.

She was like, how the hell are people running their business from their phone?

I can't even cope running from a laptop.

And again, it just shows that you have to build it in a way that works for you.

Obviously, this person just loves doing everything.

I mean, the phone nowadays does everything.

We don't need a laptop.

We don't need an iMac or a desktop, but it's how we prefer to work.

And it was almost, and she wasn't almost, she wasn't,

being derogatory about her is, oh, my God, how is she earning all this money from a phone?

It was just like, wow, I didn't realise how much that kind of laptop lifestyle does exist and it does work for some people, but it's not going to work for everyone.

And you've got to figure out what works for you in terms of how you want to show up, the clients that you want to work with, where you want to work from.
