November is all about inputs, and girls. It is currently q four. We got two months left in the year. Y'all gotta lock in. I gotta lock in. We all gotta lock in. One of my friends, Jack, one of his biggest things is inputs, inputs, inputs. High ROI inputs every single day because ultimately those are the things that'll build your business. It'll build anything that you're doing. I don't care if you work at a corporate job. I don't care if you're building your own creative side venture. Inputs are what matters and you need to be putting in the work every single day without any recognition, without thinking about the result that's going to come after because those are ultimately what's going to build. Those are the things that's going to stack on top of each other. My friend Chris, he says this, this, stack it. Yeah. Has it. My friend Chris, he has this... Bet. My friend Chris, he has this amazing bet. Bet. My friend Chris, has an amazing line stacking days. You gotta be able to do the small things, do the ROI tasks every single day because ultimately as they build up and you keep doing it, it expounds, it expands and ultimately you will get to your goal quicker. But always thinking about the end goal and the output that comes after it and oh, I'm going for such and such followers or such and such views. You're never going to build the skills to get there. You have to put in the work every single day and honestly, it's something that I struggle with all the time. Comfortability, it is so hard to kick, especially when it's cold outside. You know, it's it's it's sweater weather. But but especially when it's cold outside, you know, it's sweater weather. You wanna get cuddled up. You wanna go to the fireplace. You wanna some good food, but nah. That's not what it's about. Because January, when you look at your... But nah. That's not what it's about. When you get to January and you're looking down the pipeline and you're like, damn, there ain't shit, it's because you wanted to be a fat ass on Thanksgiving. So put in the work, put in the inputs, and I will see you in twenty twenty seven.
