Hello everyone and welcome to Thriving with Naowshaba Ferdous. I’m your host Naowshaba Ferdous. and for those of you who are joining in and tuning in with me, I just want to start off by saying thank you so much. I know there are no shortage of podcasts and social media accounts to follow. So I’m truly grateful that you are taking the time out of your day to listen and tune in and spend a little bit of your day with me. And in return, what I can promise you is that through every episode that I will bring you
going forward, be it through solo episodes sharing my lessons and life experiences or through the amazing guests I have in store for you and the conversations we will have. I promise that you will be able to extract at least one golden nugget away from each episode. And my hope is that it will help you think, feel, see yourself differently and do differently. and in such an impactful way that you are able to share it with someone you love because you want to help them too. So without further ado, I’d love to
introduce you my first topic for my inaugural episode and that is the psychology of success. Now this is a topic that I will talk about quite a bit. It’s not going to be the first nor last time I will talk about it because it is a large part of what I do with my clients. And so for those of you who are new to me and who don’t know who I am, again, hello. My name is Naowshaba Ferdous. And again, I’m so happy that you’re here. And what I do is I am a business strategist for the most amazing women
all over the world. These are ambitious women who come to me because they want to learn how to think clearly, act strategically, and master the psychology of success. So, of course, this episode makes a lot of sense because it is something I work on with my clients every single day. It is something that I have worked through on my own self for many many years and I think it’s incredibly important to share. The reason my brand uses the word thriving actually has quite a bit of history to it. So that will actually be on another
episode in the future. But the reason I decided to make the podcast named Thriving and really continue with that name as opposed to choosing a different name is because I believe that so much of our life we spend in survival mode, right? Whether that is um in in relationships, in work, in business, it spills over in literally every area of our life. And I truly believe that we all deserve and have the right to not just survive and exist and get through the day every single day of our lives, but to truly thrive. And I hope that in
tuning in to what I have to share with you um in every episode, you get closer and closer to what your version of thriving looks like in your life because that is your right. And I want that for you. Today we’re going to be talking about the five principles of the psychology of success. These are five principles that I have worked on in my own life and also ones that I have worked on with clients. I will walk you through each one and give you some stories and examples that will allow you to follow along. And if you are not
where you want to be in life right now, but you know deep down that you are willing to do the work, you are an ambitious woman and you don’t need hand holding or hair pulling. your potential is there, but you just need some guidance. This is the episode for you. You are so close to where you want to be. I hope this episode helps you turn the corner or at least gets you a little bit closer. So, without further ado, let’s talk about these five principles. Okay, so number one, the first principle
that I want to share with you when it comes to the psychology of success is you have to decide to start. Now, number one and number two actually have to do with the two-step formula that I always talk about when it comes to being successful. And so, I wanted to make these two first. Starting with number one, you have to decide to start. The reason I chose this particular principle as part of the psychology of success is because this may be you or maybe someone you know, but there are so many of us out
there that have these amazing, incredible, fantastic ideas for business, but yet we don’t ever start. Now, there’s usually lots of fear behind the decision to not start. And what your fear is trying to tell you is actually an incredibly interesting conversation. And that is something I will talk about in a future episode. But you must understand that to first be successful, you have to decide to begin. You right now probably have an absolutely amazing idea that you are sitting on. You have
benched it for whatever reason. Maybe you have told yourself that you’re not experienced enough or that the market is too saturated or who are you to do such a thing when there are other amazing qualified people. And I want you to stop that nonsense lovingly. Whether it is joining a more advanced gym or a more advanced workout class or starting the podcast or starting the business or putting yourself out there and starting the dating apps to find love even when you feel like you’re not fully ready.
Those are all really important decisions and so much of our success I want you guys to realize really starts with the decisions we make and the ones that we commit to. There is absolutely no way you will ever be successful in any venture you ever do if you make a million reasons as to why you can’t start. Guys, there will always be a million reasons why you can’t or shouldn’t start. But you shouldn’t listen to any of them. Every market is saturated. You know, there are always going to be people more talented, more
experienced, more qualified than you. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t. Don’t let the fear of failure and the fear of what other people will think, which we’ll get to that one later, stop you from starting something you are really passionate about. Now, let’s talk about number two. Number two and number one, like I told you, I always pair them together because if you can at least, you know, if you listen to anything from this episode, please at least consider number one and number
two. But I hope you’ll stay to hear all five. Number two is you must commit to never giving up. Right? So we said number one is you have to decide to start. You got to make that decision. That’s just a non-negotiable. You have to make the decision to start. Even if the start looks messy and if start looks ugly, you have to start. So number two naturally is that once you’ve started, you are going to have a million different feelings of wanting to quit. Um you know and again a lot of the times
fear comes in or the judgment of other people and how cringy or lame or or stupid you might look online. you know, whether it’s, you know, maybe you’re trying to be an influencer or creator or you are um, you know, creating homemade goods that, you know, you have crafted in your kitchen and you want to start selling online. There are always going to be people judging you. You must not let any of those things get in your way. And I understand that’s a whole lot easier said than done. And I remember
when I first started my business online and I decided to work as a copy coach. I was helping people with copy and communication. And I remember that I was so incredibly uncomfortable with writing all these business posts about copywriting and branding and communication on my Facebook profile that had all my friends and family from like all the way down to middle school from, you know, family overseas, my immediate family that that that is here that they would be seeing those posts. I was like, there’s no way that these
people won’t judge me. Like, of course they’re going to think this is super weird. And I remember that first year, this was back in 20 late 2019. I remember I made a second Facebook profile just because of that fear of judgment and that they would think I’m weird and who who do I think I am? And I definitely didn’t want people to think of me in that kind of light. And so I made that second Facebook profile and juggling both eventually became too much, right? And then I also realized I
wasn’t even using that original Facebook profile for personal reasons anymore anyway. And so eventually I deleted it. So now the only Facebook profile that exists is me. Just one. Naowshaba Ferdous.. There’s no other profile. If you ever come across another one um that is not me. So that ended up being such an amazing decision for me because what I ended up doing is one, I got rid of all the people that I didn’t even care to have on my social media profile anymore. There was, you know, friends that or
classmates that I haven’t talked to in like more than a decade, family that were just added randomly, but we, you know, we’re not necessarily immediate family or anything like that. It allowed me to almost start fresh with that second profile and integrate those people back in, some friends, some family as I wanted to. And I was almost able to curate that group of people with people whom I knew would support me no matter what. So that ended up being a blessing in disguise to first have that fear. So I
want you guys to know that there’s nothing wrong with feeling the fear of other people’s judgment. It’s what you choose to do with it. So for me, I had to make those two profiles and realize, you know what, I don’t really give a crap. So when I talk about you must commit to never giving up, I mean that no matter if it’s other people’s judgment or you know, particularly tough seasons in the business or maybe you have a launch that flops or maybe you uh you know try to curate an entire three
months worth of content and no one’s biting, no one has bought your thing. You have to learn to tough it out through those bad times. Now, I will touch on this on in number four, but so many people quit. I mean, I think I I don’t even know what the statistic is, but it’s a frighteningly large amount of people that quit after their first year of doing business online because I think a lot of people go into online business thinking it is going to be so much easier, right?
You don’t have to have a
brick and mortar. You don’t have to necessarily have inventory potentially, and so it must be so much easier. you could totally be a soloreneur and it’s going to be a breeze and just so easy. And then I think a lot of people go in and as soon as something negative happens, as soon as someone doesn’t buy as fast as they thought they would, as soon as their social media post doesn’t do as well as they thought it would, they are inclined to quit. And I do believe that the people who make it through those periods,
especially in the beginning, I’m telling you guys, in the beginning, it is the most difficult because you are learning a new skill set. You are building something from the ground up online and you are your marketer, you are your content creator, you are also your service deliverer. You’re you’re actually providing your service. You’re doing your all those roles, right? Not even mentioning finances and admin and any of that. You’re doing all of those roles. So, you have to give yourself
grace. There are so many things you are doing at once. Of course, it is going to feel hard. You have to embrace the fact that it will feel hard. If it was incredibly easy and so simple to make money online, everyone would do it and everyone would be a millionaire in their first year. And that isn’t the case. Not usually. I believe that the people who can get through those tough seasons and normalize the fact that it will sometimes look like this in the beginning are the ones who have the longevity, who have that lasting power
and staying power 5 years in, 10 years in, 15 years in, 20, 50 years, and there’s still a business that exists today. Now, keep in mind, your business will probably evolve in all of those times. When I started in late 2019 and where I am today at the filming of this episode in October 2025, my business is not exactly the same. You know, I I no longer teach copy and communication and branding strategy. I specifically work as a business and success strategist with my clients. And even my offerings are different. Of
course, there were times where I was just breaking even, barely barely making it. And then there were times where I was actually going into the red where my investments and and keeping the business afloat and paying contractors and all that kind of thing and software and all the other expenses, right, that that happen when you are running a business. There were times where that was happening and that was extremely tough. But I never had this idea of I think I’ll quit. I think I’ll stop. I think I
will just completely dissolve this business and give up. And I don’t know if I inherited that sort of trait of never giving up from my very stubborn father, which I will certainly talk about him in future episodes and maybe I can even convince him to come on to an episode. He’s got so much wisdom, especially around personal responsibility and goal setting, goal achieving. And so I won’t get into too much of a tangent about him, but he is really really we’ve had a very interesting relationship our whole life.
and you know, sometimes up, sometimes down, as as is the nature with with parents, but he has a lot a lot of amazing nuggets of wisdom to share. So, I’ll have to circle back on that with you guys. But I never looked at my business as something that I will abandon and just stop doing. If it meant I had to pivot, if it meant I had to make more offers, if it meant I had to add in different offers, if it meant I had to pick up some side gigs, it didn’t matter. I was always going to stay committed to my business and not give
up. And if you find yourself in that season where things are feeling really hard and you’re not quite seeing the fruits of your labor just yet, I want you to understand that success is inevitable for you when you decide you’re never going to give up. Let’s talk about number three. Now, number three is a big part of your success means that you must commit to speed and volume. So, let me explain what that means. Now, as someone with ADHD, speed and volume for the longest sounded like a nightmare. But here’s why it’s so
important when it comes to running an online business that obviously relies on social media. If you are solely focusing on one platform, making one post per week, and perfectly curating and crafting that post, and then it doesn’t do well. First, that pain hurts so much more and it stops you, right? your survival instinct is like this is this is dangerous. I am not going to do this. This felt horrible. I didn’t like this feeling and I didn’t produce any results from it. I’m just not going to do it
again. When you shorten the time between idea to execution, really amazing things happen, right? We talked about the emotional side of it, right? So getting out of that survival mode and not feeling like gh that one post a week that I work so hard on didn’t do well and then you just never do it again. I think a lot of people do that, which is why a lot of people have disappeared in the female entrepreneur space when they were seemingly so active before. But the second really amazing kind of logical side of it, why it’s so
important is because putting out more, not just one platform, not just one post a week, but putting out more, right? Really being everywhere, right? All the social platforms and repurposing and leveraging the content you have. kind of like what you’ll see me do with this episode as well is you take all the nuggets from one really great piece of content and share it everywhere. You’re not reinventing the wheel. You’re not doing content gymnastics, making something so convoluted and and complex
and making a new idea and new post every hour of every day, but working with what you already have. What happens when you do that is on the logical side there’s two things that becomes so much easier, so much more efficient. You are quite literally saving yourself hours upon hours of time every single week. But my favorite part, because I am a huge marketer research nerd, that is going to be something we talk about in a future episode is that you can’t know what your audience likes, what offer, what content
style, what type of content, all of that stuff. You can’t know that unless you actually put out. So my ADHD brain used to hear that and you know that’s not by any means a new strategy me telling you committing to speed and volume that’s been around for a while but I think today it is so much more important than it ever has been before because yes social media is saturated and everyone wants a voice and everyone wants a piece of the pie and don’t get me wrong there is enough money and piece of the pie to
go around and enough uh influence and followers and audience whatever that you want, there is enough for you. I promise. But it also means you have to be present. It’s not enough to just post once or twice a week and and hope that your people will just come find you. I kind of find it similar to this funny analogy, this thing that people say about dating all the time. They’re like, I want to find my dream man um without leaving my living room. And it’s a funny thing that people say, being online, you
can’t quite do that. And so posting once or twice a week on one platform and just hoping for the best is the equivalency of hoping you’ll find your dream man without leaving your couch in your living room. It just won’t happen. Or if it does happen, it will happen very very slowly. Quite literally, it might take forever. And you don’t deserve to have to go through that kind of pain. You deserve to make it easier for yourself. So as soon as you start posting more and being really quick with the idea to
execution, shortening that time span between idea to execution, you start seeing feedback from your people. You start seeing what they’re engaging with more, what they actually like more, what they resonate with more, what gets them to feel empowered enough to reach out to you and ask to invest in themselves through your services. This is all important market research. This is all important information. And so speed and volume give you something incredibly valuable that you won’t get anywhere
else. And that is information about how your people think and feel and how they buy. So even though before my ADHD brain was like, “Oh my gosh, speed and volume means that I have to like work myself to the bone and create something new every single day.” I mean like that is actually an advice I have seen all over the internet is that just post more. But when we say that to people for those of you who may be um newer in business and are listening I want to be very clear when I say post more I don’t mean a new
topic seven days of the week okay I mean take one topic even if it’s one topic for the month and talk about it Monday through Friday in so five days a week in 20 different ways that can mean a carousel that can mean an email that can mean a color block on Facebook that can mean a podcast episode that can mean various uh short form clips like feels, but it’s still that one topic, right? And if you want to get jazzy and show up even more, you can have two topics for the month. So, I will never tell you
post more by telling you to put in a backbreaking amount of effort because you might be able to keep that up for a month, maybe even 3 months, but eventually you will fall off everyone’s radar because that isn’t sustainable. Number four is one that has taken me a really long time to work on and it’s something that in some areas of my life I’m better at in other areas of my life I’m still learning it and it is that a really really huge principle of success is that you must bypass the immediate
negative feeling of doing that thing that you’re supposed to be doing and really just lock in focus on the positive long-term result and that feeling you’re going to get from that. So, let me explain what I mean. This is rooted in so much behavioral science. This is something that you can look up. Um, this is something that you will see folks who study ADHD and um, short-term and long-term gratification talk about often when it comes to setting a goal and then being able to actually achieve that
goal. There’s a lot of research online about this and so that is what I am pulling from from from that research as well as my own personal experiences. So I’ll give you an example of the area that I am not so quite good at it yet and that is going to the gym for a workout. Okay. So I am constantly having a difficult time bypassing that negative immediate feeling of oh my god I don’t want to go work out right now. I’m going to be all sore. I have to put on clothes. And it’s like so I’m thinking
about all that effort and I got to put my shoes on. I got to, you know, put my dog in her crate and spend time away from her. Got to drive to the gym. And all those things start stacking up in my brain as those immediate negative feelings of why I don’t want to go. So even though my goal is to be healthier, be more fit, be more toned, and and lower that number on the the scale there, in those moments when I am, you know, planning those days that I’m supposed to go to the gym, it can feel like pulling
teeth because those immediate negative feelings completely flood my brain. Now, psychologically, why that happens, again, back to the whole reason of of of why I want you to thrive, why I want myself to thrive, you to thrive, everyone listening to thrive, is because when that’s happening for me, and maybe you’re listening and you’re like, “Oh my god, that’s exactly what goes through my head when I’m trying to go to the gym or any any goal that you know you have right now, but trying to get yourself,
maybe it’s to film content. You’re like, get dressed up. I got to put makeup on and I got to set up the damn camera and there’s so much work or or write content. Oh my gosh, that’s going to be a lot of effort. You might be feeling like you understand this quite well. Okay, that’s very normal because our brain is designed and wired to help us survive. And survive means familiar comfort, familiar chaos. And that might mean straying away further from your your goals, your financial, your
fitness, your relationship goals, because that’s just what you’re used to. If going to the gym and being a fitness baddie is not a part of your identity yet, if you haven’t become that person yet, of course, it’s going to feel very difficult. So, your brain is trying to keep you in the survival mode state of this feels annoying and discomforting and not good. So, you’re not going to go. So the hack here, this this number four principle of success is you must bypass that immediate negative feeling.
It won’t be instant, but it will get easier with time. So even though I’m not so good at it yet when it comes to going to the gym, okay, I’m so much better at it today with content creation and showing up in my business. And it wasn’t always that way because as I mentioned to you earlier, content creation to me, you know, post more, be here, be all the places. To me, that always felt like more work. And so, in my head, I thought, of course, I’m not going to do that. Because the immediate negative
feeling, right, was that’s going to be a lot of time. That’s going to be a lot of effort. That’s going to cause a lot of mental fatigue because I have to come up with all these new ideas, like, you know, 30 days in a month and 30 ideas. And that’s just what I used to think of it as because there is so much advice on the internet saying post more but without any context which is why like I said I’ll never tell you that. So when it comes to business and creating content showing up being visible online
engaging with my audience I used to have tons of negative feelings around that. And with practice I one shifted my identity to be someone who is the CEO of my business. Of course I show up. Of course I engage with my audience. Of course I make offers. Of course I post content, create content, schedule content. Of course, you know, because that is what the CEO of my dreams, a level that I want to achieve. That is how she shows up. So, of course, I must shift into that identity. And as I started operating like her, those
immediate negative feelings became quieter and quieter and quieter and quieter. It’s not that they’re not there, right? Like, you can see I’ve got my hair and and makeup done today. There was absolutely a moment where I was like, I haven’t eaten yet. I’m kind of hungry. I would much rather eat some food, watch my favorite show, which is Charmed by the way, and um veg out on the couch because that would be really fun. But and in the past, getting myself out of that to then start creating content
would be such a long process. And it is so short. I mean, it was like a half second, split-second thought where I was like, I would rather do that. But then I got out of that so quickly and then immediately started putting in the dry shampoo and curling my hair and doing the makeup and sat down and figured out all the camera audio visual configuration which admittedly took some time. But I built up this frustration tolerance and discomfort tolerance to a point where I wasn’t really worrying so
much about how it felt right now or how it was going to feel or how annoying it might be to have to configure everything and put on the makeup. I immediately thought of the positive long-term result and it will get easier for you to start shifting into that perspective. Okay? Because for me, the positive long-term result looks like I will be able to have amazing content that is going to work for me, work smarter, not harder. And I’m going to be able to reach more and more amazing, ambitious women all over
the world and give something back to them, provide value to them, and hopefully change and shape their lives so they can spread that to other people that they love and and and want to help. So I think about that. I think about that impact and I think about how it is my duty. In fact, it’s quite irresponsible of me to not show up online because I have something really amazing to share. I’m a little bit of a smart cookie, I like to think. And I have seen the way my work has shaped my life and the way my work has shaped the
lives of my clients and allowed them to do amazing things for themselves, for their families, for their community, for their friends. It would absolutely be selfish of me to stop showing up just because I don’t feel like doing it at the moment. So today that purpose immediately rings in my and that’s what sticks as opposed to that immediate negative feeling of I don’t feel like doing this cuz I’m too tired or too unmotivated or too lazy. Start making that shift. I promise you everything changes. Number five is one
that is one of my favorites when it comes to the principles of success. And that is you have to sacrifice your need to be liked and understood. And that is a concept I first learned from Alex Hermosi. I’m sure many of you guys know who he is. And I don’t know his exact quote so um don’t kill me. He said something along the lines of the cost of success is being liked, making everyone happy, being understood. And I remember the first time I heard it, I thought, okay, like that makes, you know, so much
sense. Okay, sure. It wasn’t really hitting the uh the frontal cortex of my brain just yet. I felt emotionally that feels good. Like it’s kind of motivating. Sure. But the fear was definitely still overriding my brain. that that little amydala was definitely running the show when I first heard him say that. And I remember that the day that clicked for me is when it started to hit me something that I already know to be true is that you can have the best of intentions. You can have the best and kindest heart. You can
try to help people in every way, shape, or form and do your absolute best and it still won’t be enough for some people. There will still be people who don’t like you, who hate you, who have terrible things to say about you, even despite your best intentions, best effort, best actions, all of that. Showing up online is on social media is no exception to that because there will be times when you’re building that business like I said earlier you know you sometimes give up because you are so
worried about what people are saying or will say about you and that you look lame or that you look like a tryhard or a wannabe or desperate you know for clients or to run your little business. People will say that regardless. If you look at some of the most successful people, even people that you look up to right now, you can read some of the comments they get, some of them will have more hate comments, more discouraging comments than appreciation and love and support and praise. And yet, their business perseveres.
If anything, they might be stronger today than they were maybe 5 or 10 years ago. Because to survive on social media, to run a business online where social media is going to be a large part of what you do and a large part that determines your success, you must sacrifice your desire, your need to be liked and understood. There are not a lot of guarantees in life, but one guarantee I can tell you is that you will never be 100% liked or 100% understood by everybody. That will never happen. Now for me as you know someone
who is a recovering people pleaser that need to be liked is very much rooted in trauma. It is very much a survival instinct. When you grew up in a household like mine where there was a lot of chaos that need for control almost like a fawn response of this will save me, this will protect me, this will be safer. That’s why you hope people will like you and so maybe there won’t be any conflict. But in wanting to be liked by everybody, if you can resonate with this, tell me if this makes sense
to you. When you do that, you end up doing or saying things that don’t fully align with your true self and what you wish you were doing. Instead, what you think will please others. So, for example, maybe starting that business or taking that new job or quitting that major in college and going a completely different direction or hell, quitting college altogether and then having to tell your parents. That decision, any of those decisions might very well not get you approval from the people in your
life. They might very well hate those decisions. But what you have to remember is you have to live for you. You have to make those decisions for you. None of your decisions will ever be approved by everyone. And if they are, they’re probably not even risky enough, which means the reward probably won’t even be that great. You don’t want to live your life making decisions for other people to make them happy because one day you will wake up and realize not only are you resenting those people now, you’re
also resenting the life that you live in this current moment because you didn’t build it for you, you built it for someone else. And so I do see that online a lot. There are so many entrepreneurs and maybe you can relate to this is that there’s a certain offer or maybe even a pivot in your business that you want to make, but you are worried how people will perceive you or what they’ll think of you and maybe they’ll judge the crap out of you for doing so. And so then you don’t make
that pivot. You don’t start that business or you don’t make that new offer because you don’t want to upset anyone. But now you’ve sacrificed what you deserve. Does that sound fair? Hardly. And when it comes to being understood, something you must understand is that every single person is going through life with the perspective that they have programmed or that has been programmed for them by others. People can only see what they’re able to see. People can only understand what they’re able to understand. They’re
coming from their lens, which means for what you do, people won’t fully get why you’re doing what you’re doing. Some will, and they will be amazing supporters. There’s even amazing people who cannot understand why you’re doing this thing, but they’re going to support you anyway. Those are amazing people to keep in your life. But then there are others who will look at what you’re doing and because it doesn’t fit into what they’re comfortable with and their mold of success or what one should be
doing, you have to give the middle finger to those people and say, “I don’t care if someone doesn’t understand why I’m doing what I’m doing. It feels right for me and that’s why I’m going to do it.” And from that perspective, that is where so many beautiful and amazing goals of to life. There’s this quote or this saying, I don’t know exactly how it goes, where it says something along the lines of you will never see your face through the way someone else sees you,
right? You can look in the mirror or mirror your mirror and see the perspective of like, okay, well, when people see me, this side of my hair is on this side, whereas the mirror shows on this side. You can do all that, but you will never see yourself the way people see you. And so, the reason I bring that example up is because that means everything you say or do and the ways you show up will always be viewed through the lens of someone else’s perspective. So, the way they understand it or whether they like it or don’t like
it is not your responsibility. Sometimes we worry so much about what other people think of us and they’re not even noticing in the way that we think they are. That is something called the spotlight effect, which I’m sure you’ve heard of. That causes us immense anxiety of like one wrong move or saying one wrong thing and and people will be so upset or they’ll judge me and they won’t like me anymore. But I want you to remember that people are so absorbed and so focused on their own lives. They’re
really not paying that much of a spotlight, you know, under, you know, a microscope that you think they are of you. At least not healthy people who are on their own healing and self-development journeys. If people who are bitter and upset and angry at themselves in the world that are actually paying that much attention to you with such a negative light. And so if those people are so unhappy and so unsuccessful in their life, who cares what they think of you anyway? Value the opinions of people who matter to you and
who you admire. And even then, take that opinion and still do what is right for you. All right, guys. So, that concludes the five principles of the psychology of success that I wanted to share with you guys today. And I hope that you found at least one of them very applicable and very helpful for you. And I’m so curious which one resonated with you the most. I would love to hear from you. You can email me at hellomoshiba.com and or you know depending on where you watch this, send me a DM or comment
below and tell me which of these is the one that you really needed to hear. The one that you may have heard before, may have thought about, but it hasn’t clicked for you just yet until today. And that hopefully after today you are ready to go all in on that one and hopefully the other four as well. Because like I said guys, you deserve to thrive in your life, not just survive it. And um once again, I really appreciate your time and being here and I’m truly grateful. I look forward to talking to
you and connecting with you and I hope you’ll tune in to future episodes. Until next time.
