OK, so there is the first thing that comes to me is like, let's let's get in some tracking.
And like, like, let's let's bring that into the mix here in some way, shape or form to to start tracking toward this this goal for you, because I think that like I think that.
Like, like literally in my mind, I'm like a hundred million, like, like how do we get to that number? Right.
And there's, there's something in generally speaking, what I have found is that most things work in life, you know, that there's, there's some, there's some, some things that are, that are different.
And so what I'm listening for is like, what are the lessons that, that, that, you know, from cashflow and, that would work in terms of, let's call it impact flow or something like that right now.
And it's not because it's the best way to do it, but risk-adjusted for so many other things.
How can we translate the things that you have so much expertise in toward another place? It may not get you 100% of the way, but if it can get you 80%, then I would rather start...
And for those of you can see me, I'm looking down, taking notes, I'm looking up thinking, and I realize I've put in place a methodology that could directly apply.
The methodology is start with mindset and I won't explain it yet, but then you go to modeling and And then manage and then mentor and then maximize.
And so to relate it to the number of people I'm helping, I've got to change my mindset to say, okay, David, let's start seriously keeping track now.
Number two is model it out, which is the tracking system that you just talked about.
And that would help me understand where the biggest bang for the buck is for helping.
And mentoring would be having people help me and teaching them what I'm doing and helping them attract more people for me to get in front of or my systems to get in front of.
