Yeah. I think, you know, if you come across that sort of business or venture thing that you wanna do on the side of your career, let's say like, aside from, you know, advancing your career, getting a raise, job hopping every three years, doing all that kind of stuff, that's great. But if you wanna, like, invest in yourself, invest in something on the side, it can make sense to, like, prioritize that over maxing out your retirement accounts. Now I think you still should be putting money away. But, certainly, like, if you need some startup capital or some some money to start whatever you're doing, it makes a lot of sense to do that. It makes a lot of sense to pull a few thousand dollars away and and and give that a shot, and it's worth losing in my opinion because you're, like, learning and and getting better over time. So you could certainly see a much higher return there. And and, again, it would be investing more in yourself and what you wanna do. Like, a good example is, like, for me, for the longest time, I I tried to really had to choose between a rental property a few years ago when I wanted to go full time or having a nice safety net to be there for me if I need to like, an opportunity fund is what I would call it. And, you know, it was the opportunity fund. I said, forgo the the crib, and and I was like, you know what? I'm I need this cash liquids in case something happens or I need to go back to work or blah blah blah. But I wanted that liquidity if I was gonna take this risk and and do what I do now, and that paid off in a, like, ridiculous way. And I don't regret a of, like, not putting that money and making it illiquid. Right? So I would say just keeping that in mind of, like, where you think you can get that return and where you think you're being pulled, you know, with your career, whether it's business or whatever, just keep that in mind, and still put money away in the market. And, certainly, like, I maxed out everything, and I always pretty pretty much have. But, you know, those two years of business liquidity, I can't stress enough how important it is to weather those ups and downs. So it can make sense to to have that there for you as you're growing your business. It's definitely harder than it was when I was looking at it. I think everybody thought it was, like, put money in a house and it, like, doubles overnight because that's what 2020 and 2021 were. Certainly, it's not the case now. I would say if you wanna, like, pursue it as, like, a business, like, you wanna operate, like, a few different rentals and whatever, it can it can work out, and it can be great. I think if you're choosing between, like, just I don't know. Having, like, one, rental property, like, you just wanna be super sure about if you want that headache or if you're gonna take that on, you know, what are the returns look like versus putting it in the market, and you don't have to do any work, and it goes up, you know, anywhere from eight to 12% a year on average. And you don't have to do anything versus all of the headaches that come with owning a crib and, you know, management and take property taxes and and tenants and issues, and it's just stuff you don't have to worry about with other asset classes. So I wanna be just super eyes wide open going into that. You could certainly do really well. It's just a lot more elbow grease. But I think real estate's a great class asset class. I certainly plan on investing more in the future because, you know, from a diversification perspective. But it's not necessarily the get rich quick thing that people might have thought it was, and I think people are more wise to that now given the way the market is. So, I mean, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. I would say, like, coaching, is pretty important. Like, I don't do too too much of it now, but certainly early on, it was really it was really foundational. I I I certainly I I get that a lot now from my my peer group who do similar stuff, and so we bounce ideas off each other, and I get a lot of support there. So that's great. Coaching, I don't know whether maybe it is for somebody, something along the lines of, like, like, a coach or, a therapist that they can get their thoughts out and they can you know, performance coach or whatever. I think meant just getting your mental right with something like your career or your business is just so important. I think a lot of business owners and folks that are advancing through their career don't prioritize it enough. I know it's certainly talked about a lot in the media, but I think from a proactive perspective of, like, just having somebody to really objectively share your thoughts and brain dump with is, like, probably the biggest thing that's really helped me just, like, get this all in order. So I would say that's definitely up there. But I would say the number one thing, yeah, would be totally doing what I did, quitting my job, great job, and and just going all in on that and it working out. That sometimes it doesn't work out, and sometimes it does you have you have to go back. But I always thought back then that it was I don't know. There's always gonna be jobs out there. Like, the world's gonna keep spinning. Right? So might as well a shot, and and glad I did. But, yeah, I would say the other one would be coaching, you know, just advice, basically, from from professionals.

Okay. I have this other question from Vic as well. She mentioned, is there a more risk tolerant approach to investing with greater upsides than the traditional, like, four zero one k or, like, Roth IRA route for young professionals that are starting out in their career? I think so. I like, if what I'm getting from the question is also I feel like to to your point, there's in an afternoon, you can cover kind of the basics of what you can accomplish with, like, traditional investing. Is there a route or, like, any type of approach that you've seen that you think is valid even though it might be a bit more high risk for someone if they kind of want, like, a higher upside? Yeah. Yeah. Mhmm. Yeah. Got it. Okay. I definitely wanna touch on that because I know you've spoken a ton about a great investment being your own self development. Before leaving the actual, to your point, like, these levers that you can use, for someone that is actively working towards increasing their income on, like, a yearly basis. In the meantime, like, what are the best, like, accounts or, like I don't wanna go as specific to, like, a stock or, like, a particular is there a particular strategy for someone who's accomplishing that but still wants to your point, wants to put this money away somewhere useful? Mhmm. Mhmm. Mhmm. Mhmm. Mhmm. Got it. I know.
