Hey, what's up, champions? This is your host, Neal, and I want to welcome you back to another Fire podcast today. Today I'm going to be speaking with you about the benefits of slowing down in order to speed up. You know, this is a huge concept, but it flies in the face of the way many high performers and high achievers actually believe. You know, oftentimes in life you'll have people who feel that in order to do more or accomplish more or get more or gain more, that they got to faster, faster, faster. But that's not always the right strategy. In fact, I'm going to tell you that the most successful people in this world have learned how to master the benefit of slowing down in order to speed up. Well, we're going to talk about that today. Get ready. This is your captain speaking.

What's up, champion?

This is your host, Neal Reyes, and.

I want to welcome you to the Executive Perspective. For years, I struggled to answer the question, what do you do for a living? Why? Because most people who ask only expect to hear one thing. I am an executive with a deep level of understanding of business, operations, leadership and technology. I'm also the president and founder of a worldwide ministry and CEO of an executive coaching and consulting firm. My number one passion is people, and I receive significant gratitude in life from sowing into others and encouraging them as they grow to achieve their fullest potential. If you're a high performance individual like me or you're simply ready to take your business leadership or inner potential to the next level, then strap in because I'm locked in and all in. This is the Executive Perspective.

Hey, what's up, champions? This is your host, Neal Reyes, and I want to welcome you back to the Executive Perspective. Today I'm going to be talking with you about a concept that I look at as slowing down to speed up. Again, I'm going to talk with you about what I believe are the benefits about learning to slow down in order to speed up. You know, I will tell you that this works in every area of your life. Specifically, though, this podcast focuses on three main areas. And I tell you this all the time, we focus on leadership, business strategy, and personal development. And today, specifically, this topic of slowing down to speed up can transcend every one of those areas. But we're going to focus specifically on the business strategy side today. So remember, the benefit of slowing down to speed up. Now, the reason why this is so impactful is because so many times you have high performers, business leaders, business owners, but people who are in business that feel like the only way to get more or to do more or accomplish more is to learn how to go faster, faster, faster. But I'm going to tell you that that's not always a recipe for success. In fact, that can actually be very detrimental, not only to your person, but to your business entity as well. In fact, what I will tell you is that, and I say this all the time as a leader, someone is always watching you. So, you know, sometimes you can have unspoken norms or expectations within business that you set whether you mean to or not. Sometimes those could be on a positive nature or they could be on a negative nature. But in business, if you're burning the candle constantly at both ends and you're just burning what I refer to as the midnight oil, and you're just go, go, go, go, go, your staff after a while will feel like as if they also have to maintain that. And after a while, you'll see them putting in longer hours, but as they're putting in longer hours, and I'm not saying that shouldn't ever be the case, but in my personal belief and my personal experience, those should be the exceptions and not the norms. But when they feel they have to do that over and over again, well, for them to give you extra in those areas usually means they're neglecting something else, either in their personal life or in their business environment. Or usually it's both. In fact, sometimes you encounter what are referred to as diminishing returns, where you have employees who are putting in long hours, but they're doing it for the benefit of putting in facetime rather than for the benefit of being productive. I will tell you that that's never a good thing, especially if you have an employee who's redlining it or they're on the pace for burnout and I will tell you that there's different levels of burnout. Maybe we'll do a podcast based on that one of these days. But burnout is never fun. But as an employee's approaching burnout, and like I said, there's different levels of burnout, it could be that you're not getting the best for them anymore because they're so stressed out from work. But I will tell you, and like I said, this starts with you first, and even if you're a high performer, and let's separate something for a second, and maybe we'll do a podcast on this subject as well. But there's a difference between being a high performer and being a high capacity individual. Those are not the same things. If you're a high capacity individual, well, that means you're capable of taking on a lot, doing a lot and putting a lot on you. But that doesn't mean everybody operates at that same level of capacity. And if they don't operate at that same level, but they're trying to keep up with your pace, well, you can overwhelm some people really, really quick. But in addition to that, even for you, for having balance within your life, whether if it's just balance of joy or happiness or fulfillment, or maybe it is work life balance, or maybe it's balance between the job and the family or the business and the family, you so many times, and in my coaching segment that I do as I'm coaching people, oftentimes I'll coach high performers or business owners or business leaders where they've been so focused on the get ahead mentality for so long that they've forgotten all about taking care of themselves. And when you forget to take care of yourself after a while, it's going to exact a tax from you. It's either a tax on someone's health. And I say a tax. It's like paying tax, like on your check or tax like when you go to the store, when you buy something, it exacts attacks on someone's life. Like I said, either in the area of their health or their area of their well being. Maybe in their mental health, maybe they're feeling anxiety or extreme stress that they didn't used to before. Other times, maybe they're just constantly wiped out and they don't have any energy or they don't have any joy in their life. There's no fulfillment. There's so many different ways that this can pop up. And so today I want to talk with you about a business strategy that's really contrarian thinking compared to what most people sometimes find, focus on or think about. And this is the concept of slowing down, to speed up. Slowing down isn't quitting, it's strategic. So let's get that out of the way first. Slowing down isn't quitting. It's strategic in nature. In fact, it can be so strategic in nature that slowing down doesn't just mean quitting or stopping. So let's address that from two angles. When I say slowing down isn't quitting, that's two things. One, it's an instruction to you. Slowing down doesn't mean you just stop what you're supposed to be doing and quit. That's number one. That's not what I'm telling you to do. But at the same time, for the person who has the mindset that thinks, well, if I slow down, that's like me just giving up. Now we're going to address that as well, because we want to take care of your mindset. Slowing down isn't quitting, it's being strategic. In fact, most leaders fear slowing down because they equate it with falling behind. In other words, they have this concept or this thought in their mind that if they turn around and slow down, it means that they're going to have to stop doing something or they're going to stop getting ahead or they're going to leave something neglected that should not be neglected. But that's not at all what it is. In fact, I will tell you, in reality, pulling back is often where clarity, realignment, and acceleration began. Man, those are so valuable within business. Clarity, you know, having laser focus and being clear on what you should be doing, when you should be doing it, why you should be doing it, I'm going to tell you, clarity can be king within business. In addition, helps you with realignment. If all you're doing is just go, go, go, go, go. Sometimes after a while, you can be doing the ham hock story. And if you don't know what that is, we have an entire podcast we dedicated to the ham hock story. But it's where basically you're just doing the same thing over and over. Cause it's always been done. But you don't even know if that's strategic for your business anymore. Sometimes when I come in as an executive or when I'm helping in a coaching capacity or consulting capacity, I run into businesses and business leaders where they feel like they're just doing the same thing over and over again, but they never challenge the concept. Is this what we're supposed to be doing? Is there value in this? In other words, they're sometimes still chasing business ideas or concepts from like, seven or 10 years ago that aren't even relevant anymore. They're not the best thing. And when you can gain that clarity and that realignment, well, that's where real acceleration can begin. Now that brings us to our first leadership truth bomb of the day. You're not falling behind, you're recalibrating for something greater. This is so important right here because like I said, it deals with mindset. And so oftentimes people have the mindset that they're falling behind or that something's getting neglected. But no, you're actually just recalibrating for something greater. Because when you do that little tweak or that little calibration, the recalibration, it allows you to fine tune and make sure you're running even better. In fact, a lot of times, it allows you to slow down and look at your checklist if that's what you do, or look at your schedule better, or look at your journal or your goals or whatever it is to make sure you're firing on all cylinders in the direction that you intend to. This is such an important thing that leaders, especially high performers, need to keep in front of them. Now, the next thing that slowing down to speed up can help you with is that speed without structure can create waste. Man, that's a big concept right there. You know, speed without structure creates waste. Well, the first thing it does is it wastes time, it wastes energy, it wastes focus. And when you kind of start to combine some of those things together, there's multiplier effects that can happen. And as they do now, you can also waste potential. And when you waste potential, oh, man, that's something you never want to miss out on. You know, sometimes if you're just focused on speed, speed, speed, speed, speed, but you don't have the right structures within your business, man. Not only can that impact you, it can impact those employees around you. You know, you never want to have an employee, especially a good employee, leave your organization. But my personal philosophy with that, and I'm open about this with my teams, is that I never want to lose a good employee, but if I do, I want it to be because they grew their space and they went to something better. And I know I had a hand in that because I helped them to grow. But my employees and my retention rate are very, very low. Or when I say my retention rate, my retention rate, sorry, is very high. My turnover rate is very low. And the reason why is because I continue to sow a good atmosphere into my employees. That means good pay, good hours. It means valuing them and their families. It means taking care of them, acknowledging so many things like their accomplishments, their contributions, what they bring to the environment, just having that great chemistry within the office. But in addition to that, it's also about understanding that I give them opportunities to grow. And growing doesn't always have to mean a promotion. Growing can also mean just having ability to be the expert in the areas where they want to be experts, or the opportunity to grow, or the opportunity to coach them and point them in the right direction. These things are so important. And as you do those things for employees, you never want an employee to leave your environment with this statement that they had unfulfilled potential because they never felt like they were able to be utilized with everything they had to contribute. Now, I'm not going to say that you're going to be able to always touch down on everything that someone feels they can contribute, because sometimes they want to contribute in one area before they've mastered the area that they're in charge of. But you have to help them with that and grow. But understand that speed without structure creates waste. It creates waste for you and all of those around you. You know, moving too fast without the right systems. And that can cause so many things. It can cause things like rework, missed details, and eventually those things can lead to burnout, which can be very detrimental. You know, I'm going to tell you that if you've ever been through a burnout, that's one of the worst feelings in the world. And it's worse when you're a business owner, because when you just have a job, man, if you get burned out, well, you deal with that long enough, you can always leave that job and go somewhere else. But when you're the business owner, there is no running away from your business. There's no running away from your responsibilities. But why should you ever flirt with that? You know, for people, if they think that with burnout, that only happens with things that they don't enjoy, that's not always the case. You can have something that you love doing, but if it's become overwhelming for you and you fall out of love with it or out of balance with why you love doing it, it can begin to feel like something that's a burden that you have to do rather than something that you get to do. And you stay in that pace long enough, and, man, burnout can be right around the corner. The Other thing I'm going to tell you about, when we focus on speed without structure creates waste. Understand that it's better to be deliberate than scattered. I'm going to say that again. It's always better to be deliberate than to be scattered. In other words, you need to be focused on what it is that you're supposed to do. You need to be focused on what you need to be deliberate with. In other words, what really needs your attention? What do you really need to do today? Who needs your attention? Who needs your coaching? And if you focus on those areas in the right way, you're going to have a powerful structure with inside your business that brings us to our next leadership truth bomb. And that's hustle without structure that leads to exhaustion, not elevation. I'm going to say that again. Hustle without structure leads to exhaustion, not elevation. In other words, if you're just on the hustle, hustle, hustle, but you have no structure, man. After a while, you might get really good at moving really fast, doing a lot of different things, but without structure, there's no longevity in that that will wipe you out. It'll tax you on your energy front, whether if it's mental energy spend or physical energy spend or both or emotional energy spend. And when you do that, that leads to exhaustion and you'll never elevate. You know, one of the things we focus on here at the. At this podcast on the executive perspective, is we focus on having one direction that we move. We move forward, forward, and upward. That's the direction we move here on the executive perspective. And we teach our people all the time, the people who work for me, but also the people who listen and connect to this podcast. That direction is forward and upward because you're rising, you're moving forward, but you're rising in your ability, you're rising in your potential. You're rising in the area that you're in because you're accomplishing new ground. Now, the next thing I want to take you to is. Pacing isn't weakness. I must say that again, because this resonates with so many people. Learning to pace yourself isn't weakness. It's actually a form of strategic vision. I'm going to say that again. It's a form of strategic wisdom. You know, learning how to pace yourself. You know, there's so many stories out there. One of the stories that comes up to me is the story about the turtle and the rabbit, if you remember that one, the turtle and the rabbit. And what happens with that one? Well, rabbits over there Bragging, you know, they're gonna have a race. And rabbits, known to be super speedy and super fast, and Rabbit's gonna race Turtle. And Rabbit's so fast, man, nobody keeps up with rabbit. And so all the animals gather from the forest, and they're watching, and they get to the finish line, and they blow the whistle, and rabbit shoots out of there. It's just a cloud of dust. And when the cloud of dust dissipates, there's little turtle stretching his little leg to take his first step. What happens with Rabbit along the way? He gets so far ahead, but he's running so fast, he loses his pace, and he gets a little distracted. So he pulls over to get a bite to eat, decides goes a little further, but he's like, man, I'm so far ahead. I'm a little tired. I'm gonna take a little nap. And he sleeps for a while, but he only intends to rest for a few minutes. But instead, he sleeps for some hours. And here comes little turtle coming along and passing him because he's steady. He may only have one gear, but he's steady and he's consistent. And as he's steady and consistent, he's moving forward. And what happens with the rabbit? He was faster, but he didn't have the right pace. And in the end, if you know the story, the turtle beats the rabbit because the turtle maintained, even though it was a slow pace, he maintained the pace that he could run for the entire race, whereas Rabbit. Rabbit was all sprint. Now, I'm going to tell you that this is really big. Pacing yourself isn't weakness. It's a form of strategic vision. You know, if I open up the door of transparency and show you the behind the scenes of my business for a minute, and I have no problem doing that, I'm going to share with you something even here at the executive perspective that I've been doing lately. You know, I was at a mastermind at the beginning of this year, and when I was there, I had met an individual. He was actually from another nation. He's from Colombia. And as him and I were talking and we were in a small breakout group and just working with each other, I was sharing with some of my initiatives I'm working on, and he was sharing with me some of his. And when he learned about my podcast, he got pretty excited about it. He has a very successful podcast as well on finances. But one of the things she shared with me is he challenged me to do 100 podcast episodes within 100 days. And he was telling me about how he had employed that within his podcast, and he had known people who'd done it as well, and how it helped them be very successful. And when he said that, that kind of tugged at me. It tugged on my heartstrings a little bit because it resonated. In other words, it touched down at my core, and it resonated. And I knew that that wasn't something I should dismiss that idea so quickly. But I also knew I was going to need to get in quiet and go before the Lord to inquire of God what he would have me do. And so I went before the Lord and I prayed about that. Well, I knew coming home from that trip, there was something with that, but I was going to get in front of him and continue staying in front of him as I returned from the trip. And as I returned from that trip, I stayed in front of him for a bit, and I started literally seeking him and asking for the guidance. You know, it tells us in Psalms 1:1, to seek not the counsel of the ungodly, but to inquire of God for the plans that he has for our life. Now, that's the Neal Reyes translation. Man, this ain't a Bible study, but everything I do, God's at the center of. And so I want to share with you where my success comes from. It comes from his wisdom. He gives me. Well, as I was before him and seeking him. You know, one of the things it does is it says that he'll establish our paths for us or he'll establish our footsteps and direct and commission our footsteps. Well, as I started seeking for him, he showed me there was something there. But I knew that the hundred podcasts in the hundred days wasn't quite it, but I wasn't sure what it was. And one of the things he showed me was that he actually wanted me focusing on 90 podcasts within 90 days, but he wanted me to break it up between three separate sprints. He wanted me to focus on 30, 30, 30. So I just figured I was going to do 30 podcasts in 30 days and then do my next 30 to go to 60 and my next 30 and go to 90. But he instructed me that's not what he was necessarily wanting. He said, I want you to 90 podcasts in 90 days, but break it down in 30, 30, 30. But the instruction he gave me was that as I was rounding the corner on the first 30, I was to reassess and go before him and make sure I wasn't neglecting anything so that I could maintain the Right pace. But also make sure I wasn't leaving anything behind. Now, I thought in that moment that it was specifically my family's what he was talking about, but I said, yes, sir, and I jumped right in it. And we successfully launched 30 podcasts in 30 days. And I will tell you, it was exhilarating. It was some work that that opportunity showed up wearing overalls, meaning it showed up looking like work. And it did. It was work, but it was wonderful and I enjoyed it so much. Well, as the 30 days came up, I thought I was going to go into another 60, but he gave me an instruction of resting for one week. And so if you've been following us on the podcast and you recognize that there is a week where we slow down, well, now you know why. We took a one week break. Totally unplugged. Totally unplugged. Didn't strategize about new episodes, just totally unplugged. Didn't do any recording, didn't do any editing, just totally unplugged. And then what he showed me during that week was that when I started again, I just assumed I was going to start another 30 podcasts for 30 days. He changed the instruction for me. He said, what I'm going to shift you on now is you're going to shoot for another 30 podcasts, but rather than doing one per day, you're going to focus on five a week. Five a week, man. Five a week. And I was like, okay. I will tell you that in doing that, at first it felt kind of awkward. In fact, it felt like I was giving up a really good opportunity. It felt like I was giving up something because. But that's two days of podcast per week. I'm going to be missing out. But I got to tell you that that was such a good blessing. And I trust in God because he always sees the end from the beginning. There was so much wisdom in that. You know, I got to tell you, by just simply taking two days off a week from recording and editing podcasts, man, I got to tell you, that has felt like such a just. And I don't want to say a relief because I was enjoying it, but the amount of time I get back in two days to just rest or put my focus on other areas, it felt wonderful. And doing five podcasts a week, that felt like nothing at that point right there. You know, it's kind of like when you're doing resistance stretching. And what I mean by that is if you ever work with someone who's stretching you and I'm Talking like a resistance stretching thing. There's times where, like, let's say, for example, you're laying on your back and they lift your leg up and they're stretching it, and where you're stretching your hamstring, they'll take it to the point where it stops and you can't go any further. And with resistance stretching, and maybe there's other names, but I know it is resistance stretching. Your trainer will tell you, I want you to push against me as hard as you can for 10 seconds and that's at the maximum stretch limit. And then you go and they do a count to 10, and at the end of the 10 they push on you more and you'll find your muscle can now stretch even further and then they'll do it again with you. Sometimes they do this a couple times and what you'll find is that that tight muscle that had limited range of motion in whichever area or whatever muscle you were stretching, after that change, you're able to go even further. It's an awesome concept and it feels amazing. Well, I'm going to tell you, that's much of what this felt like in business for me. He had me do the 30 day sprint, a podcast, every day. And then at the end, one week of rest. And then I went into from every day, which was seven days a week, into five, five days a week. I've been doing them Monday through Friday. Wow, what a relief that was. But in doing so, it allowed me to focus on other things. In other words, I started publishing fewer episodes, but by doing so, I've been able to amplify things like my reach, my strategy and my impact. And there are so many things that he has on the horizon for me and strategic things. He even dripped into me that he wants me to start doing that overall build this business in a more strategic way, but also helps me scale quicker and, and scale better. You know, I've talked before about the difference between growth and scaling. You know, growth is usually when you're adding something to the bottom line, whether if it's more, help, more resources, something, but you're adding more so you can produce more. That's growth. But scaling, scaling is where you're learning how to accomplish even more with what you already have or even less. It's learning how to do more with less. It's a supernatural multiplier is what I refer to it as. And that's something that he showed me he wanted me doing for my life. And I'm going to tell you, it's made a Massive difference for me. Now, the next thing I want to share with you, as we're talking about learning to pace yourself and that that's not weakness, but it's strategic wisdom, is that there is maturity in leadership. In fact, I'm going to tell you that, and let me phrase this maybe a different way. Maturity in leadership often means knowing where to sprint and when to rest. Remember my story about the rabbit? The rabbit, he just took off. Sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint. The problem is, when he went to rest, he didn't rest, he went to sleep. And there's a difference between resting and sleeping, two totally different things. But in leadership, maturity and leadership often means knowing where to sprint and when to rest. This is a significant concept that you need to understand. In fact, I will tell you that as you learn this concept, this whole thing of learning to slow down, to speed up helps you significantly. There are times in business where you're going to need to be able to sprint. But as you learn to sprint in those moments, sprinting shouldn't be something you do all the time. It's not something you can maintain that pace with. Even people who run marathons, they can't necessarily run the same pace for an entire marathon that they would maintain for a mile. In other words, it's a longevity race. But there are ways where you can build your capacity so that you can run that faster than others can. Now, that brings us to our next leadership truth bomb for you today. And that's that pacing isn't passive, its precision. I'm going to say that again. Pacing isn't passive, it's precision. This is a significant deal. Now, that brings us to our fourth and final point for today's podcast, and that's that real acceleration happens after the reset. I'm going to say that again. Real acceleration happens after the reset. In other words, when you do the reset and you learn how to calibrate yourself to slow down so that you can speed up. And remember, it's not weakness, it's strategic. It's strategic wisdom. When you learn how to do that, you're going to learn how to experience real acceleration. Real acceleration that matters. And real acceleration, that last true speed, comes after realignment. In fact, I'm going to tell you that almost always true speed comes after realignment. You know, one of the things that we talk about here at the executive perspective is that you have to learn how to measure whatever it is that you're doing. Anything that's worth you doing should also be worth measuring. And the things that you do should always be focused on moving your needle. Whatever your needle is, you know, whatever vision you've outlined, whatever that dream is that you have, whatever goals you've set to establish it, every action you do should be able to be measured towards. Did this move my needle in this area? And if something didn't move that needle, and it could be something that you did that was needed to be done. But if it's not moving those needles you want, then there's a good chance that even though it's a good thing, it's a good thing out of priority or in the wrong priority. And at that point it's just become noise. You need to be focused on having your clarity and your focus locked in. And as your clarity and your focus is locked in, you're working on moving your needle on the things that matter. This is so, so important. Now, another thing I want to talk about, because when I mentioned that real acceleration happens after the reset, when you slow down to build, you know, whether if it's your refining or you're changing your focus, you actually gain momentum that you can actually sustain. This is such an important concept here because so often people are just trying to maintain velocity. In other words, they're trying to maintain speed. But if all you're trying to do is maintain speed, after a while, you might be able to accomplish that one task over and over and over again. But when are you actually building? When are you adding more? When are you taking a step back to measure what you're doing and say, is this working? Is it working well or is it not working at all? You know, if something's not working at all, but you're not measuring it, and you continue to do that over and over, you're not going to be very successful. But when you work, go back and you measure it and then you can refine it. Especially if it's something that's working or working very well. Well, sometimes, if it's working very well, you don't need to make any tweaks. But other times, just because it's working very well, sometimes little adjustments can make that thing work even better. And when you do that, that's when real acceleration or real velocity comes in. The other thing too is that when you learn to slow down, you can begin to work on your focus. And the more dialed in and focused you are, the more clarity can come in. And as you gain those things now, you are able to build and gain a real momentum that actually helps you sustain your long term initiatives. This is business strategy. That's at the core of truly scaling and growing the thing that you're passionate about. And as you do that, I'm going to tell you that your happiness will go up, your joy will go up, your fulfillment will go up in business, at least, because you're going to see that the energies you're putting in, they're strategic. The focus you're putting in is strategic. And as you do those things and do them right, man, now, you know you're doing awesome because you're setting PRs left and right. In other words, you're these, these PR, these personal records are these best that you're doing. You're having more sales than you've ever had. You're having more money transferred to the bottom line, More revenue coming in, more new customers, more new opportunities, more locations. Open up whatever kind of business you're in. More, more and more, because you're dialed in with clarity and focus. Now that brings us to our final leadership truth bomb of the day. You're not sacrificing momentum, you're building a Runway. I'm going to say that again, because when we talk about slowing down to speed up, you are not sacrificing momentum. You're actually building a Runway. What kind of Runway? Well, we only have one direction we move on this podcast, and that's forward and upward. When I say forward and upward. And if you ever see our video version of this podcast, and which you can find on YouTube and other places as it comes out, but when you see us say forward and upward, I'm actually making a gesture with my hand where I'm moving you forward and upward. And to me, every time I do that, that symbolizes an airplane. You know, airplanes, in order to take off, they move forward, upward. And that's what happens. That's why when I tell you that you're not sacrificing momentum, you're building a Runway. In other words, watch out, champion, because you're getting ready to take off and you're getting ready to shine. You know, one of the things I share with you often on this podcast, and I say often, but really it's on every single episode, and usually multiple times at least. But I always share with you that I believe in you. I believe you have greatness that lives deep down on the inside of you. You just need to continue to cultivate it, grow it and build it and develop it, and then bring it on the outside where others can see it. And whatever that thing is that you're called to work on in life, whether if it's your business or businesses, maybe you own multiple businesses. Whether if it's your leadership role or whatever it is that you do, whatever it is, go out and smash it. I believe in you, Champion. You know, when you show up to listen to this podcast, you're here because it means something to you. Personal development means something to you. Leadership, business strategy, those things mean something to you. Connecting with your best life and your best performance, those things mean something to you. They resonate with you at the core, and you may already be smashing it in whatever you're doing. But if you continue to dig deep and put in the deep, work when no one's looking, and you continue to work and work and work on you. I'm not talking just physical work within life. I'm talking working on you, on that character that lives deep down on the inside of you as you continue to cultivate it, grow it and develop it, and then bring it on the outside. Man, others are going to be amazed at what they see. Well, that being said, Champion, that brings us to the end of our podcast today. But before I let you go, I want to remind you to swing by our website@neal Reyes.com where you can find all of our resources to be able to help you out. In addition to that, if you're enjoying this podcast, I'm going to ask a couple things of you. The first one is to please leave us a review and a rating and podcast world that helps us grow substantially. This podcast has already taken off like wildfire, and I'm so grateful for all of you who have tuned into it and watch it and follow us and stay with us when it comes out on a daily basis. But at the same time, I want to encourage you to leave us the review or to leave us a rating because that's what helps them get. Then I say them, but the podcast land, that's what helps them get it out to even more people. And I believe that what we have on this show is powerful because I pour everything into the show and I do it to give, not to get. In other words, I do it to give because I want to help others connect with their very best version of their life and their business and their leadership and their personal lives, their personal development. But I want to help them to be able to have real things that they can have, real advice, real instruction, real stories that they can take and be able to help cultivate it within their own life and mix it with their own story and then be able to be even more successful. And I just want to help people grow to achieve their best life. That being said, guys, I appreciate you stopping by and growing with us today. Until next time, remember, I believe in you. Thank you and have a blessed day.
