So lean back, open your heart and let's dive in. Let's welcome Randy, to the show. Hi, Randy. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Good morning. Thank you so much for the welcome. Yeah, I'm so excited to have you on. You're a wealth of wisdom and information. So let's dive in. All right, let's do it. Yeah, tell me what first sparked your passion for entrepreneurship and building business? Yeah. So to answer your question it started, I think at a very young age, but more so as I finished university, I got into becoming a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch. And as you know, as a financial advisor, even though you're with a firm, you're really, it's a really entrepreneurial field where you start, you know, you have to find your own clients, you have to do your marketing, you have to do everything yourself and you have your own expenses and everything else. So that really propelled me into entrepreneurialism. And I would say about six years in my, ex-wife, my wife at the time, now, next wife, she came out, she was a teacher and she said, Hey, I'd love to have a private school. And I said, Okay, let's build it. So technically she was my first coaching client without even knowing that I was coaching. I love your support though. But yeah, you were like, let's go for it. Exactly. You know, the first questions I was asking, it was really coaching questions, like, you know, what does your ideal school look like? You know, what would your ideal client look like, et cetera, et cetera. And she built, you know, I helped her build the business plan and it started from there. And then from there, I just escalated to building multiple businesses and selling them off to where I am today. Yeah, that's amazing. What drew you to the various different business ventures and what was sort of an early business lesson you learned that guided your way? One of the biggest, I guess, lesson that I learned is cash flow. You know, especially when you start a business, it's very, you know, we have grand dreams, grandiose dreams of, you know, nothing can go wrong. Sales are going to hit all our forecasts. But the reality sets in really quickly in a business and to monitor cash flow is the most important thing, in my opinion, to the success of the business. And it's not so much, of course, cash has to come in, but it's also the expenses, managing the expenses. Those two things are fundamental. Even even as a, you know, even if you're in the maturity stage of the business, it's still an important role. Yeah, absolutely. Wherever hopeful it's entrepreneurs, but it still comes down to the dollars and cents at the end of the day. Yeah, you're so right about that. So you just regard yourself as a polyvalent guest speaker. How has your varied background shaped the way you coach and speak today? So I would say because of my varied experiences in different industries, so I talked about, you know, starting a primary private school in Montreal to having a summer camp for kids still, you know, working with children. But I've also, I was one of the first people to bring in digital advertising on screens in my province of Quebec. So I traveled to Europe on a vacation with the family and I saw these screens up and with all this kind of, you know, really advertising on there. They were in bathrooms. They were everywhere that anybody could pretty much be. And this is pre phones, right? So I said, wow, this is this is a great business opportunity. So I brought, I sourced some screens out from China and started putting them up on places where people wait, you know, doctors, offices, et cetera. And yeah, so that was, that was one business. And then another business that I started was a digital magazine for scuba diving. So I'm a diving instructor now, but I was, you know, really passionate. I'm still passionate about diving. So I said, I want to bring the diving world online and add a different element to it, more like a travel lifestyle magazine. And from there, I also do event planning. So which I'm still kind of into it. But I'm mostly coaching. So all these different, like you said, polyvalent industries. What is this bring me in terms of coaching is that I can meet pretty much any entrepreneur where they are. I've also sat on boards of IT companies, you know, whether it's digital security, what may it be. So I have a very vast knowledge of different industries, but at the core of it is the entrepreneurial and the entrepreneur of the person within. Well, spoken like a true entrepreneur because you have to be able to wear multiple hats. And with your varied experience across multiple and diverse industries, you have so much to teach, which is really what we need as a life coach. We need someone who can take us where we haven't been before, you know, and teach us things we are yet to learn and hopefully help us avoid mistakes that they've already made and learn from. Absolutely, absolutely. And you know, people that, you know, they say, well, I'd rather have it just a business coach, which is good. I mean, business coach have their own field. But I feel that, you know, it's all interconnected. If your family is not doing good, the business potentially might not be doing it. The business can be doing really, really well in terms of revenue, making money, but then health is not doing so good. So I think that the whole life is important to look at it as a whole. And yeah, holistically looking at it. Yeah, I love that. It's so true. You know, we have to care for our financial life, our spiritual life, our emotional life, our physical life, all of it. You know, these are all facets of our being and our existence in this world. And so for you to be sort of an overall life and business coach, I love how you cater to all aspects of one's life. It's so important to have, you know, so cliche to say, but balance for sure. Now, yeah, sorry. I don't know. Let's go ahead. Well, you had experience in Thailand, living with months, and you sort of, I imagine, went on some type of spiritual experience that completely changed the way you see success and leadership and happiness. Tell us about that. Sure. 100%. So as I mentioned earlier in the call, so ex-wife, right? So we had a business together, family, spending 24/7 pretty much was all about the business, right? So we brought the business home. We talked about business and, you know, like it or love it, this may have, you know, resulted in the breakup, one of the reasons. So, but when, when I was, her decision was to leave and, you know, this wasn't, and for me, I was like, art and family man. How could this happen? We made the promise. And I couldn't wrap my head around the fact of divorce. And, you know, my, my kids just being like one week one week or whatever that may look like. So I, so I fell in a deep spiral because up into that point, I thought I was controlling pretty much everything. I thought I had control over everything. You know, I'm not necessarily controlling her life or whatever, but just like, I thought I was in control, like I controlled my destiny, I controlled, you know, I've been in a long term, really a follower of Tony Robbins, you know, listen to his tapes for, so I was like, you know, I was still, you know, a lot of personal development. But at this point, I was just like, what's going on? Like how come my motivation or my, that I'm motivating myself or what I'm telling myself is not working in the situation. And so I started seeing therapists. And I was really hurt and destroyed inside. And, and I said, and, and that my therapist told me he said, Randy, all of these stories you're telling yourself, they're just, it's just a movie in your mind. Cause it, you know, they're, it's not real. Like you're, you're creating this, whatever your history is, you're creating your version of it, your perspective, whatever you're thinking in the future, doesn't even happen yet. So there was like medication in there and everything. And I was like, no, this, for me, this isn't it. Like I want to go to say, and he talked one session, he told me about the Buddhist philosophy of what I just said. So I said, hmm, one on the Google. And I found, you know, these places where you, you know, foreigners can go and live with monks. So I said, that's what I'm going to go do. I'm going to go deep dive into what my mind is telling me. So, and just in silence. So it's three months in silence, a one mill a day living like really with nothing, like no phones, the bed was concrete, literally concrete. And one mill a day. And so we were stuck, not stuck, but we were in meditation pretty much all day long, whether it's walking or sitting or. And that was profound because I finally got to listen to myself. What I was saying. And then challenging that as if, you know, a coach would, if you are, wow, that's incredible. And thank you for sharing. You know, and it's so true that we can have the best slave plans and yet This is uncontrollable forces that we don't control can change everything and I'm a Christian and the Bible says God laughs at man's plans. So we can you know plan our life out and think it's gonna go a certain way, but maybe God has another plan for us. Maybe there's more for our soul to learn and it's not necessarily on the path that we think we should walk, but you know, I believe that God has our best interest in mind and he really is more concerned about our character development, our soul growth and the lessons we're here to learn as a human being and not connected to any other person. So, you know, sometimes divorce or even death can cause partings that are painful, but yet can be the catalyst that change our life and the trajectory of who God destined us to be and it's powerful. Absolutely and and you know, it kind of had a conversation actually just last Friday. I was invited to a friend of ours. He's Orthodox Jewish and so in you know, a Shabbat meal and so you know, it's just talking about and he said that in what he believes or I guess Orthodox Jewish in general, and I don't want to speak for everybody, but what he said is that we have two souls. So it's the one that's the human soul that you know, just wants to attain, achieve all these beautiful things, but then there's the other soul that wants to connect to God. So that was a interesting concept. I've never thought about it that way. What I believe is we have our free will and our soul is our mind, will and emotions. So that's sort of our carnal, fleshly nature, and then we have our spiritual nature and that is designing God's image and that's what's eternal and we'll live with God forever. So we kind of in our center earth, it's God's soul of life to sort of master over our soul, our mind, will and emotions. And it's quite a difficult journey and can be a painful experience, but that's why we're here for our soul development and to grow. And that's why we must connect with others and learn from each other. And that's why you as a life and business coach can really help others along their journey of self-discovery and self-development. Oh, for sure. And that's one thing that I, you know, when people, you know, a lot of people don't understand really what coaching is. And when I just say one of the things I say is how many conversations do you have in a day or in your life, where there's no bias, no judgment, and just open-ended questions to chat, maybe challenge or maybe to look at, you know, your blind spot, how many of those do you have in your life and people are like, never? I go, that's what we do. And so that's essentially kind of what I did in Thailand was I was challenging my own thoughts, and I was like asking, of course, there's a lot of bias and there's a lot of judgment in there. But, you know, as a coach, that bringing that to the space, in a safe space where people can just never thought of that, that's a great question. And so, yeah, absolutely. And again, in sort of my Christian beliefs, it's about being humble, you know, Jesus always taught us to be humble, because then we receive the grace of God. And in that humility where we're willing to suspend judgment or resistance to other possibilities or ideas to our current thinking, we can learn and thereby we can grow. Sure, 100%. So you talked about the clarity gap, which I find fascinating. Can you explain what it is and why so many successful entrepreneurs quietly feel lost or disconnected even when successful? Sure. So, for me, I named the clarity gap because we're taught from a very young age that success, number one, is financial success. So, a lot of people can get there and a lot of people do get there. They get, they make a lot of money or they have a very good job and they're, you know, they're providing. But then the internal voice inside or the internal purpose is very, is unknown or not very loud, not very clear, not. So that's what I call the clarity gap is to get is to close that gap from what's your purpose? What do you want? What's life for you? And keep, you know, keep making the revenue, keep living that, you know, whatever those goals may be. But sometimes those goals can be misaligned. And so that's where the clarity gap comes in. Oh, such a brilliant concept and so true because a lot of people do feel an emptiness even when they're on the top of the world and you're so right about that because purpose is the reason why we're here, the reason God designed and created us and sent us to earth. And I think like you're saying that you hope to align people with their purpose. And for me personally, I believe her purpose aligns with passion and thereby comes the prosperity, you know, three peas. We'll call them the three peas. I love it. I love it. So what are some common signs that someone is experiencing the clarity gap even when their business looks thriving? Is it emotional, spiritual? Does it manifest in other sort of failures? All of the above. So that that's why when I you know, when I look at when I start with a new client, especially we look at, you know, different aspects of life and, you know, relationship, family, health, you know, even finance, like you can do really like, and I know and I'm pretty sure you know and some of your listeners know someone that's made a lot of money. But lo and behold, they're going into personal bankruptcy. So you can make a lot of money. But what's happening there? Why are you spending? Why are you, you know, there's a purpose and it's all lined with purpose because maybe there is no purpose, right? Or what there is a purpose, but it's not defined. So there's chaos. There's chaos, 100%. There's chaos in different aspects of life. It usually manifests itself as burnout, depression, a lot of conflict and, you know, with other people it can be. So it manifests in different ways. But people usually sense it at one point. They're like, okay, I have the Ferrari I have the mansion, but I'm completely unfulfilled. Yeah, but I'm suicidal, you know, and that's not a joke. I mean, there are people that achieve high success and yet they do, they take their lives because without purpose, purpose is your anchor, your common storm, you know, your north star that keeps you stable in the midst of instability and business or relationships. For me, it's my relationship with the Lord and being led by him and letting him tell me what to do, you know, so then that way for me, I like, it's the cross. As long as I stay aligned with the Lord, then my life stays straight and stable. Right. So it's, it's purpose is so important. For sure. And like you said, you know, the north star, you're following it, it's, you know, that feels great. And regardless of revenue is a little short one month versus, you know, maybe another way, whatever it is, but yeah, that won't really, it matters to a certain accept, but it really won't matter because you're like, no, this is God's plan. I'm following, I'm following this. This is what he needs me to go through this. Exactly. And I think that when challenges arise or there's diversions or setbacks even or you have to pivot in making a change and the Lord has led me to do these things very quickly. You have to think, you know, you shift direction very quickly, but the end goal is always the same. But the thing is, I would say it would be, it would be so boring if it was just, if there was never any, I want to say adventure in in the journey, you know, sure. So like you said, yeah, it's God's plan. They're for a reason. They're to teach us something not only in the business, but also about ourselves and grow. Absolutely. Yeah. In a world that is rewarding constant hustles seemingly, why do you believe slowing down is often the fastest path, the fastest path to better results? Well, because when we slow it down, we're capable of really looking at what's happening. So if you take, you know, as a metaphor, a water and a pond, you know, when it's calm, you can see very clear. As soon as you step in it and you're like, rushing, rushing, rushing, it just gets muddled up and there's no more clarity. So just take, taking a step back is fundamental. I've traveled to Japan last summer and there was something, there's a Japanese term called ma, M-A. And that what that is, and you can use it in business, you can use it a lot in relationships and Japanese culture, they use it a lot in relationship where there's kind of like a conflict happening or brewing with a with a partner is just ma is just to say we need ma and they literally say it in the relationship, we need ma which means a break, a pause, a breathing room, just to separate. And then our ideas come back to different, very different place because now there's less judgment, there's less, you know, the emotions are down, you know, so I think that's why, not I think I know that clarity comes from really just stepping back and looking and not making judgment or making decisions out of emotion. So if you think back to like a, you know, especially movies, they portray this, you know, the angry boss and really alpha, and they get emotional. It's like, you're fired. But people do this in real And you may fire somebody super important for the business, but just because you got caught up in an emotional state, you just got rid of that person and that costs a lot. It's not just so much losing the person that you made lose money, but then you have to find somebody which costs a lot of money, train them that, you know, so there's a lot of. Taking a step back in that situation would have been, okay, what am I feeling here? How am I feeling this? What's going on? Okay, let me, let me call Randy, let me text Randy. I'm feeling really stressed about this. He's really, you know, this person's really upset me. So, yeah, I think it's not, it's the best place to go is just to go back and then question what you're thinking, of course. Wow, that's such brilliant advice because it's so true. Maybe it's American culture. We're so reactive and so quick with our tongues. Whereas if we would just take that mom, that moment to pause, reflect and come back to the conflict, the disagreement intentionally, you know, we would have far better results and our relationships with co-workers, spouses, siblings would be so much healthier. For sure, and teaching, you know, when you say children is teaching that, you know, children, they're learning, right? They're, of course, they're as much as we are, but we're learning probably at a faster rate. You know, they get into like this, you know, tantrum phase where they're, they start having this tantrum, but teaching them to say, you know what, it's okay to feel this way, you know, acknowledge that. But take a moment just to step aside before saying things that could be mean or doing things that could be, you know, hurt others. Just take a moment to reflect on that and how that will serve you and teaching them that and, you know, making it a habit out of it, I agree with you, to 100% like if we teach out at a young age, society will change profoundly. Yeah, you're right. We have to teach it to children because we're all just big kids grown up, right? And so if we have a community, we're all God's children, but if we haven't learned that communication style, then we have to learn it as adults, but I love that. And that's beautiful. And I think we should all incorporate that more and be more patient with ourselves and with each other. So for sure, that's a good point you made to yourselves because I say we would never talk to our worst enemies the way we talked to ourselves in the fear of being too rude. We say, the whole thing starts off, but if we just take a step back and say, why am I thinking this about myself? I just, you know, either meditate on it, journal on it or whatever, but just really question that. I mean, yeah, we would be, a lot of people would be in a much better place. And the Christian adage, love your neighbors yourself, you know, if we really all took that to heart and embodied it and how we dealt with one another, which is probably idealistic, but I think if we really did love each other as we love ourselves and do unto others as we would have them do unto us. We would be kinder, gentler, more patient, more understanding, more compassionate. We could have a taste of heaven on earth. For sure, imagine your best friend gets a third place medal in some kind of competition, right? Some of us will get a third place and say, I suck. I didn't get gold, you know, but it's, we would never say that. So you're absolutely right. Yeah, absolutely. So I think Jesus was right. He knew what I was talking about. He knew what we needed to know. You know, if only we would just, you know, apply it. So what practical ways do you help entrepreneurs slow down without losing momentum, which, you know, we're all after. Right. So, you know, one thing is that when I meet, you know, on one-on-one, I have two different ways people work with me, predominantly is one-on-one, and I have group coaching sessions as well, which is a little different because, you know, I'm not asking to sing. I'm just really asking the same questions and getting the same responses back because it's in a group setting. But to slow it down, you know, I just ask open-ended questions most of the time and let them sit with it. And when they get to a place where they're like, I don't know, I keep going, I go keep pushing further and I say, what would you say to your best friend? Let's play a role reversal. I'm you. You're my best friend. What would you say to me? And then that allows them to think and it gets them to slow down. I also, you know, as a tools meditation, I think is by far the best tool in terms of just sitting down, slowing down and understanding what we say to ourselves each and every single day. And then journaling because that reinforces that. It's, you know, proven scientifically when we put pen to paper, it sticks in, it becomes more real, it becomes, you know, whether you're studying it, I mean, it's true. So it's the same thing with journaling is to just, you know, just put your thoughts down on paper and you can revisit it and say, you know what, I thought that back then, but now I've changed. And it shows the change that can happen if you look back in your journals. Oh, I love that. So there are practical actions and activities. People can take every day with the journaling, for example, that will really help their, their growth and their ability to reflect and learn and sort of find that calm and storm of life that will keep them centered and able to withstand the winds that come our way, right? The winds and relationships and business, you name it because surely they will come. Yeah, and you mentioned, you know, the winds and I just read away what to like sailing. So there's, you know, when you're a sailor, you have to chart your course where you're going, but you also have to put your coordinates of where you are. And what happened in the weather that you just went to so you can remember for the next time, oh, I'm going to go through this storm, this, these kind of winds, this is what I can do this. So we do that and we can do it in business too. You know, we have our quarterly reports. We have a, you know, annual reports, which shows, you know, what happened in the year that those are, those are journals to a certain extent and, but we don't do it necessarily for ourselves. And I think it's a, it's a fundamental tool. Yeah, absolutely. I do personally journal myself. It's my dear God journal and I write letters to God and I find it. Yeah, in those moments, he really meets me there. I just experienced his presence and his peace and clarity and wisdom. And for me, journaling has been imperative for my own personal self reflection and personal development. That's amazing. There's a book. I'm sure you know about it. It's a pretty famous conversations with God. No, I haven't, you never heard that one. That's a, that's a beautiful. For me, the Bible is conversations with God. It's like, sure, we don't read the Bible. The Bible reads us like, right? I can open it like an oracle and like, just whatever I read is so pertinent to the situation or the less than I need right now or it's pretty powerful. Absolutely. Absolutely. You help people design a life of intention of intentionality, right? Or yeah, you help people design their life intentionally instead of accidentally, which a lot of people do. They're sort of kind of rushed into things. So what does that intentional design strategy look like in practice? Sure. So if I can use a metaphor in in French, it's, it's really gotten, you know, how French because I live in a French province. Yeah, I'm learning French. I love French. Are we? I love to hear that. In French, they have a saying that's called mellatab, which is set the table, but it's a metaphor. So it, for me, it's all about setting that table. So what it's, it usually starts off with a lot of clarity and it's, it's to understand, you know, purpose, understand missions, understanding visions, understanding, you know, where you lie in your, you know, eight spheres or eight charts of life where there's relationships, where all that looks like, where would you like to be? It's all diving into that clarity. Once we understand that, then we can start building upon that and saying, what kind of goals, you know, that are realistic that we can set up objectives that are, that are in tune and in line with everything that you're doing or that you want or that you found in your clarity part. Then when to be understand, once you understand that, then you can start building habits around that. Right. So, and that that's, that's usually the more challenging part because it's easy to put stuff on paper. I, you know, this is where I want. This is my purpose, not easy, but it's easier. And then just building goals on that, but then changing the habits. So, you know, if it's a healthy thing, I want to get, you know, I want to lose weight. Well, then there's, there's, how can you lose weight, which, you know, and that's where the, I, I fund the coaching framework works a lot better in the sense that someone giving advice could say, go to the gym every day for an hour. Eat this food, this food, this food, this food, the beginning motivation is high. So, okay, I can do that. And you start doing it. You start seeing the results. But then it's like, I hate the gym. I don't like these foods I'm eating, or I felt so good with the other stuff. So, we start getting back to our old pattern. So, that's where the habit comes in where with coaching what we, I do is I, I've tried to find. What do you like to do in terms of physical exercise? So, maybe playing badminton, it might be what taken walks, it might be hiking, it might be mountain climb, it might be cycling. So, it's about saying, okay, how can we do this a little bit more often? Same thing with the food, you know, like, what can you cut out? What do you, what right now? What's the, what's the hardest thing to cut? Might be drinking soda, right? So, I'm like, okay, let's just change the habit, want a little bit of time. might be, you know, if they're a candidate, maybe it's a candidate, or whatever that may look like. So it's all about building these little habits. I use a lot from, I don't know if you read the book, "Atomic Habits," so I use a lot of those principles in there. And of course other tools, but it's all about just changing it slowly. And even if we go back to the old habit, it's to understand why, what happened, and diving into that, because it can be, you know, I got a, you know, fight with my spouse, for example, and it's like I was stressed, so I just had a, you know, a tub of ice cream. So it can be something like that, but it's all about looking at that. And then once the habits start kicking in a longer term, like you're doing it consistently, then we just start reinforcing those habits by saying, okay, you know, what more can you, how can you do this better, how can you do more of this, and then it becomes just second nature as we do, we brush our teeth every morning, or we take our shower in the morning, it's just like we don't even think about it anymore, we just do it. Yeah, so true. We are creatures of habits. So it's amazing how our habits and patterns form our entire lifestyle. So I love how you're all about self-awareness. And from that place of self-awareness, you can intentionally modify your habits and patterns to create and design your life. Absolutely. I mean, that's not to say, you know, there's the forces we can't control that God's still going to have His will in His way, but ultimately, you know, sort of micro-ability to control our, our selves, really. Yeah, 100%. What can I control, and what can I control, things we can't control, we can't control the weather, but we can control how we react to the weather that we can control. So it's all about, you know, looking at those dynamics. And I love how you offer personal one-on-one coaching, but also group sessions, because some people thrive in group, you know, they just had that connecting with others really helps them open up. Sure. It's great. So how can people get in touch with you and work with you either way? Absolutely. So the, I mean, there's multiple ways that I have a website. It's randybellum.com. Very, very simple, or you could just Google me. My name is pretty Googleable. That's a word. It is now randy Google Google Googleable. I'm Google, I'm Googleable. And of course, on social media, on Instagram, on Facebook, also LinkedIn. So any which way is possible, they just reach out. I'm a very friendly guy. Nothing to be scared of. And then we just look, you know, I always offer like one free, free session for everybody just so we can dive in into where they are at. And I, and to actually see if I can help them. When it comes to one-on-one coaching, I only take 10 clients at a time because I really, you know, I put all my time into them pretty much. Yeah. Besides the groups, but it's really, I only take 10 at a time. So the roster is really short, small. But yeah, they just reach out and I'd love to, you just have a discussion like we're having today. Oh, it's beautiful. Well, and of course, we're featuring you as a business leader. So they can also, you know, find all your, your contacts and information in the magazine. Now you are referred to as the gentle giant when it comes to your coaching style. Explain that to me. Right. So it's, I think it's a name that I took that someone gave me a long time actually when I was at Maryland. And so I'm, I'm a fairly, you know, I'm six to 250 pound guy, played football, played rugby now, you know, I coach hockey. But I'm really, you know, people look at me as being gentle, you know, very zen. I was like that before, like when before my Thailand, but I was, there was an emotional component that would just like explode, right? So it was very calm, calm, calm and boom. But since I went to Thailand and I really understood the things that I say to myself and the, and the stacking that happens and, you know, and that's not saying anything, it helped a lot. But yeah, so I'm pretty much like a really zen down to earth guy. And that's why, you know, people call me the gentle giant. Well, I love it. You can definitely hear it in your voice. It's very calm and soothing and, and relaxing, you know, so to work with you as a coach, it would be really helpful, especially with someone who's dealing with sort of repressed rage or emotions that are still kind of chaotic and they're trying to find a piece. Right, right. Yeah. That's not to say we don't get angry. I mean, we are human. Jesus is being angry, but do not sin, right? So anger is an emotion, right? It's a healthy emotion. It's like, you know, when we're happy, we can, you know, we can laugh hysterically or we can just be like, you know, ha, ha, ha, and it's, you know, it's, we have emotions. We're human and it's okay to experience all of them and I, and I encourage everyone to have all these emotions. Yeah. Just how, how that affects your life and how do you take that emotion and make, start making decisions that you'll regret later? Yeah, it's so true. I say we have an ocean of emotion within us. And you know, anger to not be destructive, you know, you can be angry, you can still express yourself even in anger, but not be destructive or hurtful and cause pain to another. And this is probably something people learn in coaching because it's, especially in our culture for in America for some reason, there's people are so easy to lash out and saving things. And I think we really all need to learn to harness that and learn to be more kind with our words. You know, as you said, more thoughtful with the things that we're saying and how we're behaving and treating other people. Absolutely. Incredible. So you also have a journal that you have created and where can people get that? Tell us a little bit about that. Sure. So I created a journal specifically for entrepreneurs and I broke it down into quarters because otherwise it's a really big book. Okay. So it has four quarters. Everyone couldn't get it on Amazon. They just have again put it on the search at Randy Bellum. You'll find it right away. And willing to, of course. Okay, thank you. Thank you so much. And yeah, it's a great tool because it really like dives into the entrepreneur mindset and asks, you know, really good reflective questioning. It also has, you know, some good quotes for motivation, mood checkers. So it's, yeah, it's very people that have bought it and they really enjoy it. They send me text messages or emails and, you know, they're really happy with it. Yeah, it sounds like a really effective tool. So before we go, what's one piece of advice you would give to entrepreneurs currently that are seeking purpose in their life? I would, the one, I would just say get clear, sit down, reflect, you know, meditate, understand what you're saying, understand what you're telling yourself, understand where you want to go, put it on paper and just, you know, and not get so caught up on the things like we just said, the things we can't control. Right. Control the things you can, circle the influence versus circle of concern. So beautiful. Well, and of course call Randy. Okay, call Randy, get his journal and he will help you. He can align you and get you back to that place of purpose, peace and prosperity, right? The three P's. The three P's, I love that. I'm gonna, I think I'll use that. Go ahead.
