Dreaming of a white Christmas.

The last thing we wanted to talk about was what some of the main lessons you've had from 2023 as a whole now will come into the end of the year.

The important lessons are patience, patience. In a lot of scenarios, patience is really, really important when you're dealing with tricky situations and, yeah, just taking a step back and just thinking there's a reason why all of this is happening. It allows you to plan and structure your life in a way that you need to react to certain situations. But I really do think, for me personally, patience was something that I needed to learn.

What would yours be, I'd say, probably being less hard on myself when I make mistakes. I'm used to being very, very hard on myself. I probably still am a little bit and taking a step back and slowing down a little bit, I think as well, taking stock sometimes, which I'm probably not very good at doing.

But yeah, probably those two Might probably be just backing your intuition, like you know yourself better than anybody and I'd always let outside noise sort of dictate what I was doing. If I have a vision, just go for it, and when you go for it, just go bullseye the wolves, like don't listen to what everyone else is saying. Everyone's gonna tell you you could do this better, but no one's been in your shoes. No one knows what you're going through or why you're doing it. What's the purpose is?

Yeah, trust your gut.

That would probably be my main one. The next question I wanted to ask was going to 2024, do you have any goals set for 2024 or where you wanna be by the end of the year, or is that kind of spontaneous? As you said, the rest of the stuff you're doing is at the moment.

I think you take certain actions and then you end up in different paths, but the main goal is to be obviously super liquid, having a lot of freedom with my girlfriend. I wanna be able to spend a lot of time with her my dogs as well and that runs with having a really really smooth operating business and just getting everything back up and running. Really, we've got amazing plans for Naked Ground Naked Ground's, the coffee company, for the new year. A lot of it is based in the UK as well. So, yeah, just having that really really efficient and working smoothly is where I wanna be. Love that.

Probably really honing in on my business, making it something more financially feasible for myself to sort of do a bit more, and I have the financial freedom. I think that's what Troy said and then secondly, getting out there and getting a summer job worker for Naked Ground, I think. After what sounds like working out there, I think I'm gonna get something, you're hired.

I love that I'll be sick. Oh, 2020, it's before I've asked the question, though I wouldn't say I've even sat down and had a proper think. But I'm quite spontaneous in a way. It's like I feel like next week I can meet someone and that would change my whole trajectory on the way I go, whether it's in business or my personal life. But I say for 2024 as a personal goal is to keep doing what I'm doing and not backtrack.

Thank you, sai, it's been so tough. But I was one of the biggest constructive women because I believed in the idea that men have to supportoys to right now. Okay, thank you, goodbye, 그러费. I could still be done in time to lay a bedstead this evening and sip slowly into madness. It's kind of like a special one.
