“I’m gonna change my life. Change my plans. Change my Vans. Even start to dance now. Change my thoughts. Change my socks. Change my moods. Even change my pro fighter q for you”

// “Bullion” by Millencolin 

Is this pod we break we take inspiration from the Albert Enstein quote “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result”. 

We want you to have the best year ever. 

You want to have the best year ever. 

We know you know that you want to have the best year ever. 

You know we know that you know that we know we want you to have the best year ever. 

And yes, the inspiration from the above “you know we know” script comes full throttle from White Goodman aka Ben Stillers character in the classic movie Dodgeball. I know you! 

Anyway some good thoughts in this pod. 

Let’s set the standard of a market wage a business net profit of 20-35%. 

Get after it xx
