So come 2023, you can have more customers under your belt, you can be feeling good, you can feel confident, and you're ready to hit the ground running to have an even better year in 2023.”
[7:21] “And they can feel better that they don't have to pay as much profit or sometimes it balanced is completely. Okay, they can put all their profit back into your product. Now, if you know this, you can start to play on that. You can start to talk to your buyer. You can start to talk to your contact.”
[14:04] “So December, do not let this month go. You have an opportunity right now to finish 2022 in a big way. Do not let it go. Do not let up. Do not think oh man, I just had a big meal. I ate all these cookies, these Christmas cookies. It's amazing. I'm just going to chill out. I'm just going to call mom. I'm going to say no, don't do that. I know it's easy. I know that there's motivation or lack of motivation sometimes. I know it can be a tough month with family and things going on. You got to buy presents for the kids. You gotta, please push. Please make December special. Come 2023, you will be so glad you did because now you have a bigger foundation. You have more customers you can build on. You have more confidence to know that you can deliver and will have an amazing 2023.”
