Speaker 1

You're listening to a shears These podcast. Do you have a favorite quote or piece of business advice that keeps you going as a leader or that you really like. Yeah, I think one of them that I've always have in the back of my mind is like, don't take it personally. And where that comes from is a book that a mentor gave me really early on. Now I'm going to get the author's name right, but I think it's Don Miguel Ruiz or something. To look it up everybody, and

it's called the Four Agreements. It's like a bite sized, tiny book and it's just like rules for how to live. And the first one is don't take it personally. So so often you everyone thinks that things are all about them and it's not. The next one is don't make assumptions. So so often people fall into the trap of making assumptions or they assume negative or you know, just don't do those assumptions. Be impeccable with your word. How good

is that for a rule in life? You know, so often today in a world of fake news and mere puffery and say whatever you can, there's no facts anymore. Being impeccable with your word, I think is you know, an old fashioned pillar that I love to subscribe to. And the last one is just do your best. Sounds like your mum's saying something to you, but I think you know, all we can hope for is do your best. So that's a book I give my team. So at the moment, I know, always like to have and you know,

draw on those four agreements. If you will four agreement with yourself whenever I whenever I need. It's like a little pocket full of wisdom. Investing involves the risk you might lose the money you start with. We recommend talking to a licensed financial advisor. We also recommend reading product disclosure documents before deciding to invest.
