So let's say you love sports and you want to work for a sports team. Then start working with that realm and make 10 attempts. Look at the people that are in your life. See who in your life is working for a sports team. Or email someone. Go on LinkedIn and see who's... the manager or the director of a certain division, right? But make these 10 attempts.

So put the onus and ownership of your life in your hands and have some control over your destiny. And so this is what the message that I'm trying to really kind of get out to people is that you have to take agency and you can self-actualize and be whatever you really want to be, but you need to make that first step. And the first step is always the hardest.

But if you stay on path and put yourself in that situation to win, you'll be so surprised of what happens. Because the reality is most people don't even make one attempt. Almost nobody makes two attempts. So if you're somebody who makes 10 attempts just on pure volume or just on pure just numbers, you're going to have a shot. And you have to have that idea in your head that why not me? Why not me?

If it can happen to that person, why can't it happen to me?

If it can happen to that person, why can't it happen to me?

If it can happen to that person, why can't it happen to me?

And that's true. A lot of people do feel that way. They feel that you need to be born bold. And if you're not born bold, then, you know, I'm out of luck. And the reality is that we can actually become more bold because boldness is a skill like anything else.

That's true. That happens all the time. And that's why a lot of times naivety is a strength, right? Because the less we know, the more bold that we can be. Because remember when you were a kid, you didn't know any better. So you just did, you acted, you moved, you did things. And then, you know, you kind of learn from things that happened to you, correct? Yeah.

and then what happens as we get older we get much more timid in attempting or making that bold move because we have too much experience we're too seasoned so if we can go back to that idea and that ideology of naivete when you actually did a lot of things when you didn't know better that's that's when things actually happen right

That's a good question. And the truth is you said the word right there in the question, which was risk. There's a difference between being bold and taking a risk. Bold and risk are different.
