Transcript

What's the biggest lesson so far to date that you could share, if there's one you can pick? Uh, if I if I was going to say so and what I usually say to people when I'm when I'm sort of being asked, these sort of things is. Don't. Sorry, can you see me? I can see you. Yeah. Ohh, that's good. Let's go. Alright. Yeah. You're still on? Yeah. Yeah. What I would normally say is don't take anything personal and always be honest. There are two things that that that. Really, really matter. You know the most. Yeah. Sounds sounds a bit flimsy, but I think a lot of the times in my early business career, you would take everything personally, right? That was obs. Far too much energy, you know? It's like you only have to look on social media and everybody's bothered about what other people think. I really don't think that matters, because if your customers know who you are, what you do. They're the people who you should be concentrating on. Yeah, you know that. That's my view. Isn't about being going on, being rude to people. But I learned, you know, you can fill your business with lots of people who absorb your time. And probably only usually once or twice here and there, Yeah. Whereas if you got customer, yeah, exactly. So if you've got customers that are, you know, really making an effort to work with in, my advice is concentrate on those, even if initially you're not making a lot of money out of them because you build a business brick by brick. Um, And if along the way, take everything personal you you're spending too much energy. And by being honest people, that matter. Will be the ones that see that if you're busy trying to impress everybody. It's never going to be achieved, but if you're running an honest business, other honest business people that want to use you. Will then work with you, and they're the ones that matter because they will tend to be the most loyal.
