In that way, the cool thing is, like you're never done really.
15:52
Yeah.

I'm just digesting what everyone's saying because [laughs] it's so different.

But I also spent over 10 years as a coach working with women in business, and I'm just reflecting and thinking about you guys in the room, like what does bigger mean for you? And I think for me, and if you can relate to this, I spent a lot of time comparing myself online to different businesses, different industries.

Some people that I see here today, I follow you, PS, hey.
16:18
[laughs] And comparing myself, but I think bigger for me is less about the revenue, like you said, more about the profit, but also the how.
16:31
What does that mean for you? Does it mean more profit, but at the sacrifice of your family, time with your husband, your health, your sleep? And I think for me it's been adjusting the goals to the whole lifestyle, not just the profit, but what that looks like long term.

30:45
Like, every celebrity was throwing a label on a bottle calling it a brand.
30:49
Everyone happened to be doing wine, and I was not standing out anymore.
30:53
The cute little aesthetic labels were not so special.
30:56
So I was at the dog park with my husband with a coffee cup with wine in it, taking the dog for a walk.
31:02
And as I'm, like, sipping away, having a little whinge about the situation and that shipping was so expensive, we're like, "There has to be a better way to do this." And it was actually him.

... 'cause they're both incredible.
