You see, it's really critical that you understand that your business is not your life. And you personally should not define yourself by your business. We need to be separate entities, right? You need to be yourself your person, Susie, Joe, Mary, the wife, the mother, the grandmother, the biker, the hiker, the football player, the tennis player, that's you, but your business should be separate of you. Now most of us in business aren't like that will lead with what we do, not who we are. And it's really important for you to separate you from your business. You know, at best, I think it's something for you to be a part of you, rather than be you. And the business needs its own rules, it needs its own purpose.
