Well, I've been listening to you consistently for 10 years. I'm a huge fan. I love the show. I share it with everybody I know. Everybody in my bloodline knows about you.

Oh, thank you for all you do. So real quick, my question is, so I have a commercial cleaning business and we're growing substantially.

We started in COVID, really ballsy move, very risky, but we went in, balls deep and went in. And we've been really good at it.

Yeah. All right, so what we got, man? Yeah, so I'm doing my cleaning business, you know, fast forward three years in. I moved the majority of my accounts. You know, COVID slows down. Nobody wants cleaning, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm here at the end of my rope. And I, like you say, zero options mentality, double down. I say I'm not going to quit.

My income has doubled consistently for the last three years, which was great from where I started off at. But in the process, I let go of my previous friend group. You had an episode about this recently regarding loyalty to friend groups. And I took that to the heart. I slowly started to distance myself from my friend group. And I literally have like no friends.

I'm afraid to lose the momentum that I have currently in order to seek friendship. What's your advice on that?

So what do you think bro? That's exactly what I needed to hear. Cause my, my fiance was telling me this for years. She's like, distance yourself from this friend group. They're holding you back. They're holding you back. And you know, me being a loyal guy, I'm like, nah, these are my boys. For instance, for 14, 15. No, these are my boys. You know, they care about me.

And she told me once you let this friend group grow, you will get everything you want in business. Dude. That's exactly what she said.

As soon as I distance myself, as soon as I distance myself, it's like I was trying to swim with an anchor on my feet. As soon as I distance myself, it's like I was on a speedboat.
