And how do we just actually give more kindness to ourselves? So one thing that I work on, anytime I'm kind of criticizing myself, it's like, all right, let's say one nice thing. And it kind of, what's crazy is you do that enough times, like criticize, nice thing, criticize. And we are literally the meanest people in the world to ourselves. Like, you know, your worst friend is yourself.

And so how do you change that relationship over time? And now it's just kind of like throughout my day, I'm like, dude, good job. Like, hey, you hung out with Louis, great job. And the more that we start doing those things, I think that's a way that, yes, you can manifest other things, but it's just really how do we work on being nice to ourselves? And that's really helped over time.

Literally until probably the past year, just very low. Like, let's talk about the book. No, no, this is good. Man, probably until literally like two years ago. Maybe fours, threes, fours. Threes and fours. Yeah, like I was getting partners that liked me just because that's what I got. And then with AppSumo, I think I had this fear I'm going to ruin this business.

So I try to pass it off and not do it. And even with this book, I had to go through my own journey of, okay, I'm going to hire Tal Raz, one of the best business writers in the world, and I don't have to face myself.

And when all of us face these hard things in life, whether it's writing a book, whether it's relationship, whether it's starting putting yourself out there a little bit and you face some of the fears and you start just even small, the smallest thing. And you're like, maybe I am worthy. Maybe I can do these things.

And with AppSumo, when the previous CEO quit and I came back to work, I definitely was like, I'm ruining this business. I'm messing. And I did make a lot of mistakes, but I just stayed with it. And I had great people around me. And so over time now, I'm like, and I get feedback.

One of the easiest things that anyone can do to improve right now, really literally right now is text someone, how can I get better? Whether it's in your relationship, just ask your partner, whether it's at work as an employee or as a founder. And so it's just through working with people, getting feedback over time now, I'm like, Pretty good at this.

I used to always, this is, I haven't really talked about this. It sounds small. I used to always call myself Chief Sumo because I never wanted to be a CEO. I never thought I was the right leader. And in the past 18 months, two years now, I'm the CEO. And so maybe for others out there, how are we labeling ourselves? Yes. And what are maybe small steps?

Not that I've been big, like I have to go some dramatic thing that I can just do that makes me feel good about myself. That moves me in that direction. Same with the relationship where I didn't, I went, I worked with Stephanie Rigg. She's a woman out of Australia. Great on Instagram, really great content.
