And I think when we find out what our purpose is, what our why is, what our passion is, you know, I'm up at 4 a.m., 4.30 a.m., and I get the majority of my work done by 9 a.m.

Because I just love what I do.

That is a really, really great point.

I was talking about that the other day.

Big wins, as you know, big wins don't happen overnight.

They don't.

And, you know, let's just say you want to be a top professional athlete, right?

Start small.

Get up in the morning earlier than you would normally get up.

Like I said, I'm up at 4.30 in the morning, 5 a.m., and just start with a 10-minute walk.

Next day, 20 minutes.

Next day, 30 minutes.

It's all about consistency, and it's the same way in entrepreneurship.

I've had my company for 22 years, and we just hit the $2.4 billion mark.

Right on.

And so, yeah, it's pretty badass.

And I have to tell you that it's day in and day out consistency.

It's waking up early.

It's doing the podcast.
