Samantha Ettus: it's funny because a lot of parents, Moms particularly will model things that they don't want their own kids to grow up and do. So they're sitting there and they really want their kids to be well educated and have successful careers and marriages. But then if they actually took a step back and looked at what their kids are seeing at home, it's more of a traditional view of marriage where they're asking for permission to go shopping or calling it daddy's money.

And I think it's so important that we model the kind of life that we hope our kids will one day lead as well. Mm-hmm. .

Anne-Lyse Wealth: Yeah. So sometimes as parents we put more emphasis on what we say, and then like you said, modeling it is a bigger challenge. I read that to get your, I think it was your first book done.

slower path to Yes, you'll eventually get the yes if you keep trying. So in a lot of the cases of, you know, even with Barbara Corcoran, she said no a number of times before I finally convinced her to say yes.

Anne-Lyse Wealth: I love that. I think a lot of people. when they hear no, they think that it's the end all be all. But to get to your Yes or in life, if you want to try hard things, you're gonna hear if she

Samantha Ettus: knows. Absolutely. I think a lot of people look at other people who are successful and think, oh, they're so lucky. Or it happens so fast and there is no such thing as overnight success.

I've never met someone who's super successful that hasn't worked incredibly hard to get where they are.
