Yeah. It's just, even as a parent, you hold your kids live. It's hard to not squeeze their, you know, okay, my kids are going to get good grades and they're going to be respectful. They're going to look people in the eyes and they're going to greet people well. They're going to be little athletes and et cetera, et cetera. You know, great music and art.

And so you, you, you just like, you know what, I'm going to do the best I can. I'm going to have a ton of faith. I'm going to lead by example and I'm going to hold those things loosely and Otherwise I put so much pressure on my dang kids. They, they turn into a little monster.

I'm really into focus because I think when you're juggling things, think of the wheel, the spokes of the wheel, right? You know, and I've got my, my spiritual goals. Like for me, my faith is the beginning and the end, right? It's the center. Obviously my role as a husband, my role as a dad, my role, my business role. With internal clients, all of our coaches and company, external clients.

So you have all these things on your plate that I've chosen. So that's the ownership piece. This isn't a, oh my gosh, look at all. This is like, thank goodness I made these choices. So I'm fully owning it. But the focus piece is big. And just even as I talk to you, looking down, making sure my phone is upside down. There's no lighting. There's no notifications.

Y'all, my computer screen, man, no way would there be a notification pop up that would somehow take a little bit of my momentum or my inertia or my focus away from our conversation. Just the blinders. I'm more and more and more fascinated with that concept.

And I love studying it with people, learning from people that just, no matter how much they have on their plate, whenever I'm with them, they really seem present and engaged. I would say one last part of that is because Again, two of my three kids, my twin boys, they're literally just about getting their driver's licenses. And so it's like, man, I don't have a ton of time with my kids at home.

I want to have focused time with these kids. I want to make sure the time I have with my wife counts. I want to make sure the time I have with my coworkers counts. Yeah, you get it.

Yeah, I look back now. So I would say three, there was kind of three phases. The first was just a loose over a couple years, loosely having notes of Ron's rambles, I call them. And it was just little rambles, little thoughts, little things I wanted to study. I had no idea what I wanted to do with them. Maybe it'd be a blog or a video or part of some different keynote speaking things or a book.

But that was just a number of years of just kind of collecting thoughts and pondering and just almost journaling and writing and processing it. That was absolutely the first part. The second was getting myself in a room and kind of organizing the thoughts into something that made sense. Like if I'm beginning with the end in mind, what does the finished product look like?
