Everybody else before you before you see a guy $40,000 and go out the door I was the person who made the least amount of money my toilets work compared to May 3 be afraid of hard work is valid of course I stand and so you actually got it how difficult the work is going to be times and start daunting at times want to give up before you start your before you spend the money on stories only if it's going to be a bear Melton's speed is high and you climate this is applied is to provide it out the window because you need to do anything and everything to take in order to be successful true story centers for events with EMI expanded through fast there were a bunch of internal issues remember our centrist partners wisely and financially for us that I was having to take money off her credit cards want to pay my employees and so want to make ends meet I take a second job on weekends working as a beer cart girl on a golf course was on the golf course and there was a there's a moment when a lot of moment during the winter it was about where he does get cold especially at 630 in the morning on Sunday was sauce it was about 23° and no heat in the heart and so I'm sitting there waiting for golfers to come around is no shelter on this card should bring my butt off and it was critical moment in my life when I realized that my God I will do anything it takes in order to be

that are enjoyed in times to get soft but I know when it's time to move on and this is a will it's a form there's a saying push the dog know when it's time to put down and a lot of times as an entrepreneur you start a business and you want to hold on as long as you can going on I don't want to time in every family businesses life when you got a note that okay to shoot it down on the problem for me specifically with that said I had planned be another option is something I am 130% of all in and so realization that okay is working or something else was really difficult for me and it will be for you if you face that similar situation but trust me when I say is the absolute best thing you can do because once you get that weight off your shoulders allows you and please remind to think of the next better opportunity bleeding may it's a lesson number six look for opportunity everywhere doesn't matter if you're not really everywhere blows my mind because I get approached by so many companies nowadays project know how many wallet companies are out there but they got the latest greatest okay you have a passion while it's okay then try make it work but there market is totally saturated so maybe it would be a wise decision if you're looking beyond the nor to look for opportunity that isn't currently being met for Phil without family consulting business article marketing like a is really no resources out there for everyday regular guys to get solid base device almost talking GQ I'm talking from a regular guy I know more about shoes and also was a perfect fit but on

be around to be associated with people good moral character encompasses case in point is my sister and Debbie she has been with me literally from dark's days back my fitness center and she still today the interesting thing about that is throughout the time no money has been tight so I could always afford to pay her what she is worth in the value that she brings in so being appreciative and treating people with dignity and respect and just tell them they really appreciate that you took a chance on me pays off financial future financial out I am telling you it is is one of the most valuable
