as do I, but that's this difficulty in businesses and in many communication outside of business is you're both trusting that you're gonna do your part in learning about something that neither of you know anything about.

And so you either, again, bottleneck yourself in this communication because you're struggling to understand this thing, you're struggling to understand Twitch, and then you feel like you have to become a Twitch master, right?

People online are going to love this.

No idea.

But you're going to become like the world's greatest Twitch person when really what you should have been doing is these other things for your business.

And this person, you should trust enough, but lay out enough steps for them to say, this is why I'm committed to this.

It's important enough for me to invest $5,000.

That's my commitment.

What I'm asking for in return is your commitment back to me so that we're aligned.

And once I have your commitment, I've already given you mine, let's just hop right into execution.

But so often we drop right into execution without first getting the commitment from the other person that they're even interested.

And then we wait.

four weeks or eight weeks or 12 weeks thinking something is happening when it is not happening.

And we lose time, momentum, excitement, enthusiasm about growing and our confidence in people that we can actually trust them goes down.

That honestly might be outdated for me because in a day and age where it's important to share your point of view, it's not a bad thing to say, I think this is the right path, especially if you aren't certain and it shows strength and integrity that you are strong.

communicating that you're thinking this, you don't know for sure, and you're relying on other people.

Now, if it is just a filler word, if somebody says, I think we should do this, and this is the direction that I think we should take Cardone Ventures, that wouldn't be very engaging.

So in that context, you absolutely should not be using these filler phrases of I think or maybe and adding

Lack of certainty.

At some level, you're playing a certainty game with everybody around you, whether they are investors, clients, patients, team members, partners, vendors.
