Million Dollar Days
That’s a Wrap
Time doesn’t slow down just because the calendar does. We take a hard, honest look at the year that was—what worked, what hurt, and what taught us more than we wanted to learn—and then we sketch a sharper plan for what comes next. From the joy of rest as a real strategy to the shock of how fast wins normalize, this one’s about choosing progress on purpose.
We get into high-performance mindset without the fluff: early mornings on January 1, the quiet edges that stack over time, and a year defined by persistence. George shares how eight tough months demanded grit, the big personal milestones that still mattered, and a difficult leadership decision that forced clarity on values. Robbie opens up about building systems that dwarf last year’s, the frustration of delayed results, and the question that stings but guides: are you playing the right game on the right horizon?
Risk takes center stage with a $12.5M contract that could propel or punish. We walk through worst-case thinking, legal realities, cash flow danger, and the equally scary alternative—staying the same. Then we dismantle New Year’s resolutions and rebuild a practical approach: start tomorrow, not “someday.” Set one meaningful goal in each pillar—health, wealth, relationships, and experiences—and back it with habits, deadlines, and systems that make progress likely. We also confront hedonic adaptation head-on: why the office, the car, and the win all fade fast, and how to anchor your efforts to purpose, not novelty.
If you want a smarter way to end the year and a cleaner way to begin the next, this conversation gives you prompts, guardrails, and momentum. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a nudge, and leave a review with your one-word summary of the year—we’ll read our favorites on the show.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and to everyone, even though you don't celebrate it. Hope it was still merry. Are you talking to me or the To you there in that instance? But for those listeners who are not who don't celebrate Christmas, hope it was still a good day. Yeah. Good day with family. Good day with friends. Happy Hanukkah.
SPEAKER_01:Happy Bayram.
George:Eid Mubarak. I don't even know what these things are.
SPEAKER_01:Happy Chunnys near everything. We do not discriminate.
George:We like them all. You know? Great time of the year. Great time of the year. I really enjoy it. I know I've said it a few times, but I enjoy this time of the year. It's um I was looking at the stress levels on my aura ring this morning, and it said you're in optimal range. I'm like, oh, how interesting. I didn't didn't feel anything different than any other day, but it just maybe there goes to show that holidays now and just chilling out a little bit more. Yeah. Perhaps. Foot off the pedal. Perhaps, yeah. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I don't I don't think so either. Like I now I know we often preach about doing extraordinary things and you know, million dollar days and doing all that sort of sick shit, but hey, like you've earned resting is also a strategy.
Robby:Yeah, I I that's I like that. I agree. Um and I think when you rest, you know, hopefully you've enjoyed some time with your family. Yeah. At this point, and you know, do you uh are you big on New Year's Eve?
George:No, no, haven't been for the last 11 years. The last 11 years we've been in bed by 10, every one of them, except one, which was a couple of years ago. Stayed up? Yeah, we stayed up with the kids, but every other one before that, and I think even last year, we were in bed. Kids as well, yeah, kids like by like we'd see the 9 30 fireworks, and then that's it, straight to bed. Is there 9 30? Yeah, like at along um the Yarra.
Robby:Okay.
George:Yeah. Or in a few other locations as well.
Robby:Yeah, I've never been um never been big. I think it's very overrated.
George:Yeah, yeah, everyone hypes it up to be this magical night, and then New Year's comes and it's like the same thing as it was 10 minutes ago.
Robby:Yeah, I used to always I used to have this mentality of like, well, if I can get up on Jan 1st at 5 a.m. and go train, yeah, like I'm ahead of you. Yeah. Because now you're still trying to recover. I did that one year. Yeah.
George:And it wasn't that long ago. It was probably four or five years ago. I got up at I think I got to the gym at 6 a.m. and I was the only one there. And I felt so pumped. Yeah, I got so pumped.
Robby:There would be no there was no one there, and I was so pumped at that. There's no one in you. If you go for a run, older people can see you, like drunk people. Yeah, yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
Robby:It's like everywhere, yeah. Everyone else is like out. That's like that. You know, I uh I went and saw Chris Judd, I reckon it was 10 years ago now. Do a like I went to the summer thing and and Chris Judd was there and he was talking, and he's like he used to do everything he could to get one up on like he was super competitive. He's like I used to try so hard. He's like, you know, because I knew my my competitors weren't training on Christmas Day, yeah. Because I've trained on Christmas Day. Because I thought if I can train on Christmas Day and they don't train on Christmas Day, I've got one up on them.
George:Yeah, you know. Um but you look at that like Brownlow medalist, champion of the game, Chris Joe. Yeah, oh dude, he's a weapon. That's that's what I mean. People like that often in whatever facet of life that they're in and they're doing, when they have that mindset and that mentality, like it's so true. So true, like very difficult stuff. I only see it now because I've I'm I feel that I'm in that space myself. You know, what can I do to be like as in what can I do to be one up on everyone else? What can I do to be one up on myself that from last year? And and also now that I've done a fair bit of personal development, you know, mentoring, being mentored, and mentoring, I see it there as well. Now I see what separates those really high achievers from those that still do the same shit.
Robby:And and this is a um great time of the year to look back at that.
George:Yeah.
Robby:Do you know what I mean? To look back at your 2025. 2025 is none. To look back at your 2025.
SPEAKER_01:This is the last episode, the 25. Last episode of 2025. Thanks for joining us.
Robby:Uh you look back at your 2025 and it's done. It is. You know what I mean? It is uh gone, wiped, you never get it back. And it's like, cool, that you know, that 52 weeks, that uh 360 days that we're in at the moment, you know, we've we've got five days left or whatever it might be for till the end of the year. And it's a good time to just take I I think there's huge power in stopping and just saying, okay, like you know, what worked, what didn't, what's going well, what's not. You know, what uh there is power in reflection. Like sometimes uh I can't remember who said this, but it was something along the lines of uh life can only be lived looking forwards, but can only be understood looking backwards. You know what I mean? That's like super powerful. That's a great line. Yeah, uh, I saw Alex Namogie post post something similar, and he was like, uh things don't make sense when they're happening, they only make sense when you look back. He's like, when I bought a Facebook ad strategy for three grand and I had no business, everyone told me I was making a mistake, I was gonna scammed. Because looking back, safe to say it wasn't a mistake. Um yeah, I think you need to take that time out in this time of the year. So when you when you think about this year overall, George, could you sum it up in a single word?
George:That's pretty hard. Yeah, it's okay. Let me have a think about it. Do you have some background music or something? Just start in one.
Robby:In in a single word, or like what is it if I had to say, like, you know, put a word on this year. If you had to, you know, like people try and start the word the the year off with a word. Have you seen those people? Like, people do that and they're like, my word of the my word of the I haven't seen it. Oh, you don't know any. I've never seen it.
SPEAKER_01:You don't know any Aquarius? No.
George:Um now that you mention it, now that you mention it like that, of course. Uh do people get the joke? I don't know. Like, guys, we do not believe in star sides.
Robby:What do you mean? Huh? You don't believe where the moon was when you were born based on no, no, no, come on.
George:No, I don't. Yeah. Okay, sorry. I will then I will then. Um, yeah, I'll probably have difficulty believing in that because I'm a um I'm a cancer. Yeah, must be. I used to hate I am actually a cancer, and I used to hate that when I was a kid. Because I'm like, fuck, I'm cancer.
Robby:Because it's like a negative. Yeah. Um, but yeah, so people go into years and they're like, my year for uh word for this year is going to be unstoppable. Exciting unstoppable excitement, blah blah blah. It's like, well, what if we did it the other way around? What if we looked back and said, okay, cool, like if I had to try and sum up the the and for you listening, like have a think. Like, you know, if you look back a year and you're like, how do I wrap this up in a word? And it shouldn't be easy. No, that's what I mean. It's hard to do it. Yeah, it should not be like it shouldn't be like happiness or it should be like something. I don't know. I guess what what are your biggest takeaways? Do you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:I think okay, I might have another word. Hey? I think I might have my word.
Robby:Oh, you've got your word?
SPEAKER_01:What is it? Because I don't have a word.
George:I'm trying to think I'm trying to think of a word. No, the word you might help me come up with the word now. Along the lines of say just always moving forward. Progress? No, not the right one. Either from like maybe resilient or progressive or persistent. Persistent. I'm gonna put that one persistence. Yes, persistence for sure. Because there's been times in this year for myself personally, where it's just like fuck, I just don't want to do this anymore. Like I don't want to do this anymore. This is annoying me, this situation, and I want out. But I there was no out. The way out was going through. Like there was no out for me, and I had to persist, I had to go through it, and it was a good I'd say, eight months of the year like that from the start, from January too. It wasn't like January, then March, then you know, December. It was the first eight months of this year were just exactly that.
Robby:What's the um what's the first like moment of this year? Like if I say start of 2025, what do you think? What do I think? Just busy. Yeah, but like is there a particular event or anything that kind of rings true when when you think you know so my life personally, like I can my life is segmented into years based on what I was doing in that year. Like, I know like you tell me what were you doing in 2010? Yeah, like what were you doing in 2010? I know 2010 is when I started working at Mercedes-Benz. What were you doing in 2015? Oh, that was the first full year I did as a service advisor. What did you do in 2020? Unlike 2020 COVID. Yeah, you know, like I can I can kind of link to the event of the year. Does you know what I mean? I got like uh milestones, if you want to, or whatever you want to call it. Significant events, significant events that kind of remind me of that time of the year. Yeah. So if I tell you think back to the start of the year, think back to the start of 2025.
George:Yeah, is there in a particular Yeah, I'd say when we went to the States, that's significant. That's a significant thing. That was a significant thing. And again, this year for myself, going to the States uh for Christmas.
Robby:So who would have thought 12 months ago that you were gonna go to the street?
George:I was never twice. Yeah, exactly. If you told me, even if you told me late 24, say next year you're going to the states twice. Yeah, because you were like family and you're going business class both ways. I'd be like, fuck off. Like, not happening. I've got too much to do, and it's not gonna happen. So, yeah, that's that's actually probably pretty significant from that perspective that we're we're going both ways, uh, both twice this year, and um it wasn't even on the on the cards.
Robby:That is significant, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You wouldn't have you'd have been like, no fucking way. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
George:You'd have like I'd be lucky to go once, let alone twice. Yeah, no, I mean there's been some sick stuff that's happened this year. Like as much as I say, what was my word again? Persistence. Persistence. Better write it down. Yeah, put it on the wall. Yeah, there was a level of persistence with it with um a lot of things there. And uh, you know, it's been a big year, actually. Like when I think back to it now, of all the things that had happened, finishing some huge projects, getting through some difficult times in the projects, um, you know, moved home, bought a new car, went on holidays, like there was some real significant things there that happened. Um, made some changes within the organization as well. That's a pretty significant thing, actually, at PASCON. So um having um having gotten rid of my GM at the time, that was a significant thing. Like that was a really difficult thing to do as well. And that's where persistence sort of had to come through too. I think back to it, well, I've got to be persistent in what I want with the organization, the direction that it's gonna go in, um, and not just sit back and and not challenge myself because it would have been easier to leave him there, you know, it would have been easier not to have the difficult conversation. Someone I respected, he's still a great guy, um, and you know, very knowledgeable and always did the right thing, but it just wasn't the right thing for the business, and I had to make that difficult call. Um so yeah, there was there's lots of little milestones. I think this year has definitely been one of of growth for sure and challenge, you know, persistence and challenge. Wow, can I have a second word? I think challenge is is there's been plenty of challenges along the line of the channel.
Robby:I think challenge comes in uh yeah as a follow-through for you.
George:I think so. I think so. Otherwise, it's like all just flowing and it's easy. Yeah, that's right. Because it's there's other things too where I've I've made some moves. I'm like, should I do that? Like having buyers remorse with certain things, or like, should I do that? I'm like, no, fuck it, go back yourself, go and do it. Do it, find the find a way. Find a way, just get the thing done, start swimming, and you'll figure it out. And I have, each and every time. So, yeah, that was that there's my two words. How about yourself? Have you got one? A word? Yeah, or something that you could think of. Like we could talk through it. As you said, it's it's hard to think of on the spot. And you really just have to think of the year that's happened and everything you've gone through, I suppose, and how you genuinely feel about it right this moment. I I I think um Do you think about it positively or negatively? So, let's say working in extremes if it had to be one or the other?
Robby:As of 2025, yeah.
George:Nah, I think positively.
Robby:Me too.
George:Yeah, me too. I think fuck with everything that happened, I would say it's on the far positive. Far positive. Even though they say this challenges, good, I got better. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Even though it was hard to get it. It would have to be a bad year to it. Fuck, did anyone die? Fucking good. Yeah, right? Great fucking year. Yeah, did anyone get sick? No. Good. Great fucking year. Yeah, like they're the two exact markers, exactly right. And Gary V works in that extreme too, which I I I like about him. You know, he says people come up to him and says, you know, how do you deal with your really stressful days and weeks? You employ a thousand people. What do you do? He goes, I look at my hand, and if the closest five people to me in this world are not sick or dying or dead, then I'm fucking, then everything else is manageable. I'm fucking alright.
Robby:Yeah, he he's got a full he's very quite look. I I agree with most of what he says. There's some elements I don't agree with. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Uh his thing is like close your eyes, imagine your whole family's been murdered. Yeah. Yeah, and then come back to this moment. And then come back to this moment and realize they're all here. Yeah. Oh fuck, thank fuck.
George:Yeah. Yeah. It's like it's just like it's very dark. Yeah, it is, it is. It's just like, oh cool, I'm going bankrupt, but uh, it's alright, my family's still alive. So it still doesn't take away the stress of what you're going through at that moment in time. But you know, again, if that works for him and it works for other people, so be it.
Robby:There's a um you know, I I I can't put a I can't put a word to what I want to say. But like if there's ever been a year where I've realized how much more I need to do, this has been the year.
George:Yeah, you've spoken a lot about that, not just in this podcast, but also in the outside world to me. Um you've mentioned that a lot, you know, and you're you're bang on. It it's also highlighted to me that same thing. Like s like it's annoying. I find it annoying. Not annoying.
SPEAKER_01:In the sense of, you know, what's the next big step?
Robby:It it's like the way I see it is like oh you were further off than you thought. Do you know what I mean? And it's not it's not a nice thought to have. Yeah. But it's it's true.
George:Yeah, it doesn't make it incorrect. You know what I mean? I think it's a great level of self-awareness too, though.
Robby:Yeah, it's it's like a your self-accountability. There's been moments where you like you get kicked in the face, and and I think they're the real moments that shape you.
George:Oh always, always in life, every every single time, every single thing that I've had happen to myself, or you see other people, right? It's gonna shape you in a positive or negative way, you know, you're either gonna become a victim of that difficulty or you're gonna become the hero of it.
Robby:Yeah, that there's definitely been moments where this year specifically, where you're like for me, it's like you kind of question like, am I in the right game or am I playing the right fucking game here? Yep, I've had that heaps. Do you know what I mean? Like, am I fucking am I swinging the bat at nothing? Am I this stupid? Like, could I win in a way because like I I am all for winning the easiest way possible.
George:Yeah, me too.
Robby:Like, if you can if the goal is to make a million bucks and you can do it in 10 hours and you can do it in 60, you should do it in 10 every single fucking time. There's no benefit to if that's the goal, yes, there's other side effects, blah blah blah, experience, whatever. But like, if the goal is to get that one thing and you can do it in a in an easier path, you should, you know, and and I've had this conversation with you many times, but I feel like I constantly make an effort to learn and read and you know, I work get better, get yourself better constantly, yeah. Like I work, I work a lot. And I feel like I'm like, man, like if I did if I did some of the stuff I know some other people are doing who I would turn around and say, from a business acumen standpoint, I would feel like I'm more knowledgeable than they are. And I'm like, I I I feel like I crushed them. Yeah. But I feel like they're winning at the moment. And then it's like, well, are you just you need to play this game for a longer period of time? Is this a are you looking at the wrong time horizon? You know what I mean? It'll be four years. Sorry. Yeah, no, no, four years. Yeah, it'll be four years in a couple of months that I've been on this journey. Yeah, and it's like there's been a level of that too. Yeah. There's but then there's also like the hey man, like yeah, uninformed optimism is a real thing. You know, the grass always looks greener, but there's shit in every fucking industry, every business, every avenue. Absolutely. Yeah. It's like the grass ain't necessarily always greener. Yeah. And it's almost never greener. You're almost better off being where you are, unless unless you're in an industry that's lacking or lack of opportunity, or you've got limitations, or a ceiling, or um, but you're almost always better off being where you are because you've got runs on the board. You're not starting from zero. You know what I mean? Um, so there's been there's been a fair bit of that this year. Uh, but I I don't know how to wrap that up into a word. You know, uh there's been a lot of every time you know I built sis like in in the business, and and you would understand this, and for those of you who are business owners listening to this, you would understand this too. We build systems in the business to have things done in a particular way. And if you had come to me last year, I would have said to you, got some good systems. My systems now dwarf what we had last year. Yeah, supply. Yeah. But at that time, I thought this is I've built some systems, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like that was my thought then, and that's my thought now. And I'm I I'll probably look back at this in 12 months and be like, done. But it's like you don't know to what extreme you have to build something. Do you know what I mean? Like you you have to go so fucking far in the process. Um and I I guess it's all just a journey at the end of the day, right? It's like if you clicked your fingers and you got it all, you'd probably get bored. You'd get It'd be sick at the start. Yeah. It'd be sick at the start. It would. Yeah. A year, two years maybe. And then I think you'd hit a wall.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
Robby:I think you'd hit a wall and you'd be like, what now?
George:You know, I um yeah, I believe it. I've seen um I've seen many people, like very wealthy positions on more so social media, and they're like, Man, when you win and you've got everything, it's like, okay, you go get you go get a Ferrari.
unknown:Yeah.
George:It's like, okay. And it's like cool for the first week. Yeah, it's like he goes, no better Ferrari. It's like no better supercar is better than the very first supercar you ever buy. All right. He goes, because the first one is like you've worked all this, everything to put yourself in that position. And then you can go and drop a million bucks on a car, and it doesn't hurt, it doesn't even affect anything in your world. And you go get it. And you go, oh, the new model came out. Or you know what? I want a Lambeau now. Oh, you know what? I may as well go get a Rolls. And it's like after all, they're just a car. And it's just all right. Whatever. And then you go buy a Rolex. And like, oh, this is there's only three of these in the world. Okay. I'll go get a Panorai next. Oh, this one's a million bucks. Stells the time the same as the other one. And yeah, it does get to that. Like it goes, it loses its um Yeah. And and and this particular person I was listening to, he's like, he goes, I miss, he goes, I miss the struggle. He goes, nothing's hard for me anymore. It's all easy. He goes, no matter what I do, I win. Everything's a win. He goes, because you almost have to enjoy that process because as soon as you win and properly win, that's gone forever. Because you won't get that back. Like, what's the next challenge? What's the next thing? He goes, you have to try and find that. Who is that? Do you remember who that was? Yeah, it was Andrew Tate. That it was but uh regardless of the person and who it is, he was saying, and look, he he he does play it that is the biggest hot shot on the planet, yeah. But there was a lot of sense to what he was saying. A lot of sense. He goes, Matt, I goes, okay, I've got a penthouse here in Dubai, it's worth fucking 30 million dollars. Whatever. I'll go get another one. I'll go, he goes, I don't have that thing anymore. I don't have that challenge, I don't have those hard days of work where I've got to do this, this, and this. He goes, I miss that. He goes, it doesn't say he doesn't work hard, but he goes, I know I'm gonna win now. Like there's no this is just a time thing if I want it, it's not a difficulty thing.
Robby:You will get used to whatever level of life you get to. It'll become normal really quick. Yeah, you know who said it as well? Um, who said it in a really structured in a really good way? Dan Belzarian. That guy's quite smart, I believe. Or based on just what I've said in the podcast. Yeah. Um but he he said this thing, and he's like Actually, he said the same very similar thing too. Yeah, he's like a very similar thing. He's like, I I he's like, I did everything. He goes, yeah, because people watch me and think, oh my god, all those hot girls. He goes, after a while, he goes, Yes, you don't even want to. It was the same thing. Yeah, he's like, you just like he goes, it becomes the same thing. It's like and and from the outside looking in, people would think you're nuts. He goes, like, but you just after a while, you just become so accustomed to it, you kind of like just leave it alone. Yeah, yeah. I just want to be able myself for a bit. He goes, and um, if I could redo it again, he goes, the problem he did was he went from zero to the top super fucking fast. He goes, and he goes, once you're at the top, he goes, like you've peaked out on all the good stuff in life, the pleasure, the he's like, it it doesn't get better. Yeah, he goes, and then from there, like it's only downhill. He goes, if I could do it again, he goes, I would do that same path, he goes, but I would just climb it as slowly as I could. Yeah, he's like, I would plan to end at the top, yeah. Like towards the end of my life, not get there as quick as I can, and then because then you have to live the rest of your life with well that was the peak, yeah. That was the peak, and it's like you become accustomed to it, so it doesn't keep that peak anymore, and everything else from here is down. It's like, how do you continually chase the thrill? But in saying that, give me a choice right now, and I get to have everything right now. I'll have it in 50 years, I have it right now.
George:Absolutely, yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
Robby:Every single time. Um but yeah, that's that's been um that's been a really big thing for myself this year.
George:Can I ask you a question? Do you think you will make it?
Robby:Yeah, I'll look to find make it.
George:Do you think you'll get to the peak?
Robby:I think the peak is not an achievable thing.
George:Okay.
Robby:Do you think like so what's what's the peak? Billionaire, trillionaire, is it?
George:Whatever it is for you.
Robby:Yeah, but like that's what I'm saying.
George:Yeah. What is it? Because you will always be a golf post for you. Yeah, you're probably yeah, you're right. Yes. It will it will move, yes.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah.
George:Yeah, because man, the peak could be I just want to have a wife and three kids and live in the suburbs. Yeah, yeah, and and then you've won.
Robby:Yeah. It's like I was thinking of this as um the other day. One day, like one day, hopefully it's far away, but one day at some point in life, I saw an old man sitting in a passenger seat. And he just looked so bless you. Blessing. He just looked at everyone. Uh he just looked so fragile? Not fragile.
George:Uh lifeless in the sense like it was just yeah, I know, I think I'm just kind of like fucking like just waiting for it to happen.
Robby:Yeah, you know, come on, guys. And it was kind of like that's gonna that that time is gonna come. And if you get to be an old man when it happens, you're lucky.
George:Yeah. It's so true. I went to my grandmother's house on Friday, and she's 87 now. Um, and she's like she's old, man. She's starting to she was in hospital the other day, she's having some problems, but you know, she's still she's still there. And I went and saw her at her house, and you know, she's still walking around, she's slower, obviously, and and all that. And she was at our house yesterday um as well. But she's driving and stuff? No, no, no, no. She's she's never driven her whole life. So she'll my grandfather used to always drive everywhere. Anyway, and I was talking to her and I'm like, you know, how are you feeling? She's like, Oh, look, I can't lift my arm anymore up to here. She goes, It hurts, and I can't do that. And she's like, Oh, I can't go in the garden and do the gardening anymore too much. She goes, I can walk, all right, that's fine. And I said, Yeah, okay, but I go, okay, okay, you're getting old. Okay, just accept it. It's not a bad thing. All right, you are getting old. You cannot do what you used to do 30 years ago or 20 or you know, 50 years ago. You're an older person now and you've got to just live within your means. I said, Okay, your mind's okay. And she's like, Yeah, she goes, Look, I forget people's names. I go, fuck, I forget people's names now. Don't worry about that. Okay, but as long as you're there mentally and you you can still move around, I go, you've you're fine. All right, you go, you just gotta keep going. And and I think, look, she lost her husband, my grandfather, you know, nearly would have been probably almost 20 years ago, if not more. No, if not less, a little bit less.
Robby:That's like a lifetime.
George:That's right. That you've been with a lifetime as well, mind you. So he he passed away, um, I think in his late 60s, it was early 70s, somewhere there. Um, yeah, I think it was early 70s, actually. He passed away. And, you know, like after that happens, you you lose your life partner. It's like it does become a little bit less meaningful. So she did battle through that, and then it's like they get to that age now, which is like, okay, look, I just want to get moving and and move on and go and be with my husband or whatever it might be. And I think there is that huge level with the older generation where they get to that point where it's like, okay, we're over, we're done. But again, even with them, I think it becomes a point of finding a bit more purpose in your life and like whether it's like, okay, I want to live through the grandkids, I want to, it's my family, whatever it is, like having that thing that keeps them happy, at least in that older age, not just looking out the window, waiting, okay, tomorrow am I gonna wake up? Tomorrow am I gonna wake up? I don't know. I I think about it a little bit now. I don't know if it's a midlife crisis thing or you know that I'm 40, but it's just like I feel that you know the 40s gone like that. And I was thinking down, I was sitting down the other day, I I think it was actually yesterday, and it was at the start of the day, and I'm like, you know, I'm gonna blink and today's gonna be over. You know, I've got so much shit to do. Like we'll hosting a barbecue at our house and um did a lamb on the spit. And I had so much to do, get ready, putting the lamb on, packing up, setting up, all this sort of stuff, going to the warehouse, picking up shit, all that sort of stuff. So I had so much to do, but it's like I sat down for a second, I'm gonna blink and today's over. And it's over. I'm here doing a podcast with you now. And I blinked, and it's like uh that that day, although it felt like there was so much to do and it was so long and it was so big, I go, I blinked and it was over. And it's like I then I thought back, I go, fuck, I was in high school. I remember finishing high school, my last day of high school, or my first day of uni, and just it's blinked and it's over. So I think it's so amaz like critically important that you really do take a breath sometimes and yeah, smell the roses. Just enjoy life, guys. Enjoy life. If you're fucking out of the ground and you're healthy and you're fit and you're strong, there is there is beauty in that. You know, you've got to you've got to really embrace that sometimes, I think. And as much as yesterday we blinked it was over, it was actually a lot of fun. We had a whole family, the whole family over, kids had a ball, playing games, laughing, drinking, eating, like it was a good day. So I would put that down as a core memory of the year. You know, that day we had everyone over and we had no one punched on, it was a great day out. Um, I don't know how we got onto that a little bit sideways, but I think it's yeah, there's got to be that you just have to show that uh that level of appreciation. I think Gary V says it too. It's like you have one in four trillion chance of even being born, you know, and it's like you're walking around like it's fucking nothing. But you're here, you're alive, you health, you're healthy, you got stuff to do. You got stuff to be grateful for. Even if you are at your lowest low. I believe that too. I'd like to think Touchwood, if I ever get down to that low point where you lose everything, I think I could I I think I have that in me to build myself up again. Yeah, I I I hard to say not being there.
SPEAKER_01:Preferences to never find out. Absolutely.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Fucking oath. Yeah, I'm talking like the lowest of the lows, lose everything and everyone. Like that's pretty fucked up.
Robby:Yeah. It's um it's like it just makes you think, man. Like, what's what is this?
George:Yes. What are we doing? Yeah, exactly. And that's and that's kind of what I look at with business then, why I'm more inclined to take more risks.
Robby:Yeah, it's like that element. I I was talking to someone, so that they're uh they're building outside my apartment at the moment. And they're building a big like a apartments or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Uh it's at least seven or eight stories. Yeah.
George:Pulling it out of the room. Yeah, decent size.
Robby:Yeah, they're going up. And I looked at it and I was like and uh I can't remember the name of the company, they got their name on the crane.
George:Yeah.
Robby:And I just looked at it and I thought, I I just need to do one or two of these. Like if I could do one or two of these, that would be like that would be the financial aspect. And then it's like, well, fucking no one knew that.
SPEAKER_01:No.
Robby:Like, do you know what I mean? And you just look at it and you think like 2025's gone, man. Gone. Do you know what I mean? Gonna be halfway through in in four more years, it'll be 2030. And at that point, it'd be 30 years ago that we hit the 2000s. Like, think about that. That's wild, dude. Tupac's gonna be of dead have been dead for 30 years. I'm sorry, I've been watching the Diddy documentary. Oh, yeah, no, it's uh dude. Check it out. It's fucking wild. Um, it's very cool to see because it even that you see people playing at like the highest levels, you know what I mean? And you and you see it, and you're like, oh wow, like you don't think much of him initially, but then you realize like this guy's been through some stuff. Yeah, cause have you watched the whole thing? Some shit.
SPEAKER_01:Um, nah, just a couple episodes. Okay. They're playing it in a positive light. Nah. Yeah, they're they're trying shreds of film. Well, it's 50 Cent that did it. Oh, 50 Cent did it.
Robby:50 Cent's the director.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, how funny.
Robby:Yeah, like he was not, he it's not a um it's a good it's a good documentary. Yeah, very good documentary. Uh all so far anyway. Um, but yeah, it's like time is going, man. Time is going. You know what I mean? 2025's done, dude. Yep. Yeah. We once spoke about an office where we're like, man, I mean how cool to be having a podcast. I've been here for over a year now.
George:Yeah. And do you think do you walk past this off because we walk past this daily? All right, when we're at the office, you think, oh, how good is this? No. Not once. Not a little bit. Not even not even a little bit. No. I haven't walked past and go, oh, I am so pumped we have a podcast studio. I'm so pumped we have a neon sign that doesn't change colours. Thanks, Nicole.
Robby:Yeah, maybe I was going to tell you I'm trying to re dig my office, I don't like it.
unknown:Yeah.
George:Like, why? Hey, you usually should walk in and say, hey mate, I've got my own office.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Don't give a fuck. It becomes a new norm, doesn't it? Becomes the new norm. How do you hit reset?
George:I don't know if there's such a thing. I don't know if you can just reset. I think you just need to refocus. That was not planned, guys. Just for the record. It sounded like uh we're getting good at it though. We're getting good at this stuff. Um can you explain that? Yeah, because like resetting means starting again. That's what that's effectively what it is. Going back to the beginning and going like completely clean slate. We want to reset and do this all over again. I don't think that's why or for.
Robby:Is reset the same as restart?
George:Um restart. Yeah, I think so. You yeah, starting again, starting again from the beginning. Maybe if you need to, if things have turned to shit, then I think there's a there can be a need for that for sure. Restarting and refocusing and resetting if everything has just gone bad. But I would rather in my day-to-day just refocus. And it may like coming back to your example now with the the office towers, right? I I often bat that's my battle with myself. I'll look at my business and go, okay, we've we've done some amazing projects, we've dealt, we've built millions, tens of millions of dollars worth of projects over the years. And it's like, okay, why now my 10 year I'm in my 10th year, so it was 10 year 10 years from now on of operation.
Robby:So you've you've completed the decade? The decade uh in business.
George:So 2015 was started. Yeah. So November 2015. Yeah. Alright, so this is 10 and we're going into 11. Do you have a 10th birthday? No. Um maybe I'll do that next year when I get back. So no. No. Um, I look at that, okay. Good. There's you know, heaps to be proud of, heaps to be proud of. You know, there's the company's great, systems are great, like everything's good. But why doesn't it turn over$350 million a year? And then that's my question. And it might not be that we want to turn over$350, but why isn't it bigger? I'm I can do it. I've got the things in place, I've got the knowledge, I've got the contacts, I've got the resources. Why aren't we going to that level? Why aren't we doing the seven-story towers ourselves? Why aren't we doing just you know a whole bunch of our own developments or whatever it might be? So that's that's where I'm that's the that's where I sort of try to refocus and go, well, what's the next thing? What's that next thing? What's that next thing? And I try and always try to push it. Like we did apartments last this year, sorry. We did some apartments, which I haven't done apartments before, in the sense at PASCON. I've done them working at other companies, but haven't done them at PASCON. The project came up great, fantastic job. And it's like, okay, we dabbled in it. Is that the space we want to go into? Probably not. But if I had another apartment project come up, would I do it? Probably, if the money stacks, yes. So um it's good that I'm I'm pushing the boundaries in that aspect, but I want to make sure that overall I'm always challenging myself and always pushing myself. I'd like it's very easy to compare yourself to someone else.
Robby:Yeah, comparison is the thief of joy.
George:It is, it really is. It really is.
Robby:You can always be upset if you look at someone, there's always gonna be someone you could be uh like Jeff Bezos could be sitting there saying, but Elon Musk is you know, multi-hundred billionaire.
George:Yeah, that's right. And I'm not, yeah, or he's going to Mars and I'm gonna go to Venus.
Robby:Yeah, yeah, you get what I'm saying? Like that there is always that level of um yeah, yeah, comparison is the thief of joy.
George:So I try not to do that. I try and ex like get rid of the out outside noise too, you know, as in people going, oh, you know, you should have this or you should do that or you should do this, or um, you know, how come you haven't done that? Yeah, I'm like, fuck off. Like you've not listening to you. I got that. And it's always like your auntie. Yeah, it is. It's people like yeah, it is, it's people like that. Not that not that it was my auntie, that's it. Yeah, yeah, but it is people like that.
Robby:The family member who hasn't done anything and they're trying to give you advice on the thing that you're done, and you're like, You haven't done this. Like, how can you be telling me?
George:Yeah, what to do? Yeah, yeah, exactly. So there's there's that, that's what I sort of look at the um refocusing. You know, I was like, well, what is it? What's that thing that we have to look at? What's that thing we need to do? And and then just diving in and doing it. Like someone told me I was speaking to someone the other day where again, we still haven't signed this massive job that we've priced up, 12 and a half mil. And he's like, fuck, 12 and a half mil. Like that's that's a big job. Like, yeah. Yep. It's like, oh, how are you gonna do it? What do you mean? The same way I do all my other projects. I go, the the process isn't gonna change, it's the value of the numbers are bigger, right? I still have to get a concretor on board. That concrete is not gonna cost me$80,000, he's gonna be a million dollars. That's the difference. It's just add some more zeros. But as far as the work that needs to happen, the process is gonna be exactly the same. Is it greater in scale and value? Yeah, absolutely. But we can manage that. Oh, who you're gonna get to do that? I've got I'm gonna get a supervisor to do it. Oh, but then how are you gonna manage this? I'm gonna do that. Oh, how are they gonna pay you through this? And it's like, okay, well, fuck it. Like, if you're gonna go down, go down swinging. Yeah, I'm gonna. Like, what's the worst that's going to happen? And this is the type of job that can send builders broke. And I'm like, let's be real about it for a second. This guy could send me broke. Is it like it's a possibility? I have to be mindful of it. It's a possibility he could send you broke. How? Well, I could do$2 million worth of work in a month, and then he turns around and he goes, Right, I'm done, I'm going back to China, not paying you anything to you later. Like, hang on, you owe me two million dollars. No, no, I can't pay you. So yeah. What do you do? What do you do? Do you sue him? Okay, go sue him. How long are you how long are you or your um creditors gonna be there? How long how much time can you buy? That's it. And then how much is that gonna cost you? And do you have to get him back to Australia? Is China gonna even accept your application? Like, who knows? Or he goes broke. Imagine that. The developer goes broke. Then what happens? He goes, sorry, we we've actually spent all our money. I went and bought another site, and then the site, there's a GFC now. Okay, there's a GFC now. I bought another site for$10 million. The bank uh it's been valued at$3 million. The bank wants me to check out they want their money because the site's so undervalued now because I bought it too high. So I've got to declare bankruptcy. Sorry, I can't do this job anymore. All the best. You're fucked. But am I dead? Am I healthy? Can I still keep going?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. If you play out both those scenarios, so it's like, okay.
George:Yeah, that's right. But also, the sorry, I've thought are you saying the opposite scenario too?
Robby:Yeah, like, oh well, as in what's what do you when you say the opposite scenario?
George:I build the job, I make really good fucking money, and I get another job that big, and then I get a$30 million job. I I I I go even one step back.
Robby:Like this is based on you accepting the job, which you've already made the decision, obviously, too. Yeah, yeah, we'll do it. They award it, we're doing it. But go one step before that. So the person who's in there saying, Oh, but what if, but what if? And it's like, well, play your life out in that play.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
Robby:And it's like, okay. I'll tell you what scares the shit out of me. Being in the same position. Yeah, it's like, okay, well, option A is we do the job, we risk the element of going bust, we risk the element of growth. That it both they both have risk. Option B is we sit here doing the same thing. Me personally, not that I have a huge appetite for risk or anything like that, and I think that's something I I would like to increase my appetite for. Um, but it's like fuck, option A sounds so much better. Like even with the roll of the dice. It's like option B sounds miserable. Do you know what I mean? Like just do the same thing again. Like that's it's not about excitement, it's about progress. Yeah. It's about moving forward, it's about growth. It's about looking back at the year now and saying, cool, like yes, 2025 gave me these lessons. And I'm gonna go into 2026 with what I've learned here and there. You know what I mean? And if you choose option A in that scenario, like the first one where you're not doing anything to grow, it's like you're gonna get to the end of 2026 and be like, okay, you know, I made X dollars. My life hasn't changed anyway. I'm still the same person doing the same shit with the same processes, same mindset, same everything. Um, I've just netted X dollars. And it's like that doesn't sound as good. Unless you had like a five-year goal and you're like, cool, man, if I do this for five years, I'm going to be in a position where I can then go blah, blah, blah. Yep. I get that. Yeah. Play a long game. But to stay in the same position or to risk moving forward, I think you need to. Well, for me, I I think I need to risk moving forward every single time.
George:Uh yeah, I think everyone needs to. I I have if if you do want, if you're an ambitious person, you want things to be different and and to have that level of life, then yeah, you always have to risk. You know, I've always I used to love this, I still do, this saying it's like if you risk nothing, you risk everything.
Robby:Uh Jim Rowan says this as well. He's like, You think uh you think investing is risky. Let me tell you the risk of not investing. Yeah. Or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something along those lines. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Um and then he's like, everything's risky. He's like, life is risky. He goes, let me tell you, he's not gonna get out of life. Yeah, like so good. Not saying that speech. Yeah, yeah. It's a good uh he's a a legend. Um all right, 2025, George. I got a couple more questions for you. What is what's something you came into this year believing that you don't believe anymore?
George:Came into the year.
Robby:Yeah, like what's something like how did George what is what is different about George's beliefs from the start of 2025 to the end of 2025?
George:I'll word it like that. Okay, I would say it might be a little bit pessimistic, but but people suck. Yeah, fucked. Just because just because you do the right thing by people doesn't mean people are gonna do the right thing by you. That's true. I think that's probably my one thing sorry, so I had the belief at the start of the year that you know, do and do the right thing, and I will continue to. All right, but don't expect the other person to do the right thing as well. You know, because I had this expectation on a particular project where I was like, no, no, they're gonna do the right thing. Just keep you guys keep doing the right thing, they will also do the right thing. All right. And it got to the point where we get to the end of the job and they didn't do the right thing. And I'm like, okay, good. Thank you. Thank you for the lesson. So I think for myself, I I still want to have that belief that they will, but I've just got to be mindful of the possibility that it's it won't go that way as well. Uh for future projects and future works and what so you don't believe that anymore? No, I don't think people will do the right thing. If I do the right thing, because I as I said, uh it's integrity, that's who I am as a person, but I've got to be mindful that I don't want to get burnt. Like it's not just I don't want to accept getting burnt. Oh, I did the right thing though, but they still burnt me. No, no, fuck that. Do the right thing. But have the process in place to protect yourself when someone doesn't do the right thing.
Robby:Yeah, but so take it a step back. It's the the belief is that if I do the right thing, they will. And then the new belief is that just because I do the right thing, it doesn't necessarily mean they will. Correct. That's exactly what I'm saying. Some might. Some might. I think it doesn't necessarily mean they will every time. That's right.
George:Yeah, so that's that's probably the big one. Yeah, I think so. I think so. Uh and and in all honesty, it's probably taken me a couple years to learn that lesson, not just this year. Because I've done the same thing in the past and didn't learn the lesson there. So it's definitely not going to happen again this side of this again, moving forward. What about yourself? What do you believe coming into the year?
Robby:Um what did I believe coming into 2025 that I don't believe anymore? That's a really deep question.
George:It is, yeah, and to put it on the spot. Well fuck you, you put me on the spot now you do it. But yeah, it is. It does take it does take a like this exercise we're doing, we're doing it in the space of an hour. But it could definitely be something you could spend a day on. This reflection.
Robby:What's the one thing? I came into the believing that I don't believe anymore. Fuck that's a good question. I'm gonna have to come back to I just can't think of what it might be at this moment.
George:Well, you said you had a couple more questions.
Robby:What do you want more of? What's one thing you want more of next year?
George:I want more. I want more money next year. A lot more.
Robby:You should want more money every year. Yeah.
George:But this next year I'm gonna have a real focus on wealth building and opportunities to be created. And it already started this year. You know, I've I've actually I haven't told you, I've put in an offer on a house one street down from here. Not me, but me and a couple of other people. Oh, as a as a yeah, as a project to build. So um will will it come through? Don't know. Doesn't matter. But the the ball is like the snowball is starting. Yeah. That's what I'm gonna do next year. And you know how you said the seven story apartments and all that sort of shit? Like, I could do two of those. Well, let's start doing it. Do you know what I mean? Like, why not? I've got the means, I've got the I've got the ability, I've got the connections. This is silly that we don't go down this path. So that's definitely something I'm gonna look at next year to to start doing and bringing people on board to do it, like the right people, as in investors and whatnot, and actually grow a portfolio and then take it from there.
Robby:Good. Um yourself, yourself. One thing I want more of next year. I want to see the I want to see the results of the effort more.
George:Yeah. I I genuinely think it's coming. I'm talking for you now. Because I say, I I mean I see firsthand what Robbie does, uh, more so than all of you guys. Like you think your your online platform that you've built, like all that stuff, that's taken work, yeah, months and weeks and planning and just everything, everything, everything, right? And it's like, and then your content you're putting out on a regular base, six times a day across multiple platforms. Like, my feed is all your shit, like all the time. That's everyone's feed. That but that's it. Okay, and you look at it and you go, Well, good, like you're playing it bigger than everyone else, and I think it's just it's just gonna pop. There's gonna come that time where it goes, all right, bang.
Robby:Yeah, I do feel like um yeah, that's that's a big thing. I'm like, okay, like this there's been some really good lessons for me this year. Like some really good lessons. That's good. Um I feel like this has been the biggest year from a going from a oh, like it's Robbie versus it's a business.
George:Yeah, I had that moment as well. Yeah, and I think you actually helped me get through that moment too. Yeah, it's like oh, he took that from me. No, he took that from Pascal. Yeah, yeah, not from you, didn't go to your house. Yeah, it's like a separate entity. That's right. Yeah, that's a really good way to look at it too.
Robby:Well, it is, it's a that's legally it's reality. Um, yeah, I I'd like more of that. I guess I'd always like more of that. Um I want to be more like more consistent next year. You know, one thing that's interesting. I wouldn't have thought you to say to say that not necessarily with um consistent specifically, you know what I mean? Like if I look at an effort standpoint, I would say, yeah, I would I wish I could measure all my stats in my life. Like I wish I could see how many hours I've worked this year, just like as a curiosity thing. Like, did I actually work a lot? Did you think you'd put your own? And then it's like, yeah, see? Like, and then it's like, okay, of that, how do you measure how productive you are? Like, how productive are you? Like, okay, you worked 70 hours this week, but how many hours did you work? You know what I mean? Because you sat in front of a computer for 70 hours. Doesn't mean you worked. But how many did you fucking work? How much how much hours of work do you get done? What was your output? You know, and then it's like, yeah, I don't know. I wish I could do that. I think that would be a very cool stat. Um, but yeah, consistency, not just in that uh uh element, but I think like one of my goals was I wanted to I wanted to um get fit and healthy, and I just kept putting it on the back burner because I would have, you know, a bad day. I would have many other things that were taking my time. I would it's just all excuses. It is at the end of the day, yeah. I know, but it's also one of those things of like, hey man, if you can get this far without that, like you shouldn't take that for granted because there's nothing to say that someone might knock on a door tomorrow and be like, oh, here's a like do you have to wait till the fucking health scare comes? Do you know what I mean? Exactly. Is that what you need to wait for?
SPEAKER_02:Exactly.
Robby:You know, I've probably had the most sore injured year of my life. Oh, really?
George:Yeah, how funny.
Robby:And then it's like, fuck, maybe age is maybe it's real. Trust me.
George:Trust me, it's catching up to you. It's catching up to you. I had no greys at 35, just to let you know that.
Robby:I've got a couple, I've got a couple. They're coming through.
George:They're coming.
Robby:I told you, we're gonna die it. Right, like a santa. Um Lebanese Hannah. So, George, for anyone listening, you know, now, between Christmas and New Year's Eve, and I think I think we'll wrap up with this. Like, what's what's one thing they should really reflect on before before the new year?
George:Yeah, good. They've got this full week. Yeah, they've got the full week just shy of. Don't, don't, don't, don't. Don't do a new New Year's resolution. I fucking hate I fucking hate New Year's resolutions. Stupidity. Why are you waiting till the third till the first of January? If you genuinely okay, you want to stop smoking? Stop smoking tomorrow. Go have a cigarette, have your last cigarettes today, throw them in the bin, and stop smoking tomorrow.
Robby:I I I agree with you, except when we're this close.
George:Except when we're this close.
Robby:Yeah, when we're this close, it's kind of like this is a significant marker.
George:But I feel like it's a good thing. But it feels that the milestone is also the the hurdle in the sense of it's like, oh, two weeks in, nah, it's just a news resolution, whatever, give me a cigarette. So, because and then it's like, okay, so then if you wait till new years, because I think it's a little bit of reprogramming your subconscious, if you wait till new years to do that, and then it's like you get halfway through the year, let's just say you stop smoking, then are you gonna be like halfway through the year, you go, you know what? I'm a bit fat. My new year's resolution in six months' time. Yeah, that's what I'm waiting six months, exactly, is to be, but that's what then they sort of program. No, fucking start tomorrow. Tomorrow start and do it.
Robby:And I think this start this part of the year is the hardest time to build a habit. Yeah, with like yeah, just fucking everything that's happening, all the you know what I mean. It's like yeah, it's like there are any different ways, yeah.
George:Yes, I know, I know, but no one said it's gonna be easy.
Robby:Yeah, it's not it's an excuse.
George:It's not that's right. So if you are genuinely wanting to make some change, if it's within your ability to do it in the next five days, do it in the next five days. Don't wait till New Year's. If if it gets to the point where you go, okay, maybe not New Year's, okay, on the 5th of January. I'm gonna join up and do this, I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna look at the business, I'm gonna start researching investment properties, whatever it's gonna be. Uh, have a think about it now so that they're actually meaningful, they're not just a a blowaway. Oh, what's your new year's resolution? Oh, mine's to you know get into shape and do this and do this, and and so on. So I saw this meme this morning, and it's like this guy's walking, it was a it was a clip of Rambo, and he's just got his top off and he's massive. And it's like me walking into the gym on Jan 1st, completely shredded, with all the guys you know signing up for their new year's resolution to get fit. So as in, like he's done the work from January last year to be in the best position, best physical condition that he is right now in January 1 when everyone's there trying to New Year's resolution there way out of their belly. So get rid of that habit of going okay at this milestone, by my birthday. And don't get me wrong, I think it's really good to have targets as far as okay, by my next birthday, I want a six pack, or by the time I go on my holiday, I want to stop smoking. I I want smoking to not be existent, like have a date to have something done by sure. Yeah, deadlines I think are very powerful, and I reckon that can be that can work really well, or you could be like, I'm gonna get on stage and whatever I'm gonna be really confident with how I talk and speak and so on and so forth. Uh, and then you've got to train and get yourself skilled up in that space. So look at it and make them meaningful, what you want in your life. All right, five days is a long time. Imagine sitting there, sitting in a room for five days just thinking about your goals. Like that's pretty intense. So I know there's a lot going on, but I'm sure there's also downtime throughout the next few days as well. Um, if it means you're getting up, going for a walk and thinking about it, whatever, journaling, whatever you do, whatever helps you in your space. But have a think about it and get and and make it meaningful and impactful. And if it does so happen to be, okay, 1st of January, these are the changes I'm making. Okay, good. Let's not make them resolutions, let's make them actual changes, actual goals, actual improvements in your life.
Robby:How many goals do you reckon people should set? Because I've heard it all. Set eight no set three, I don't know, set twelve. Yeah.
George:I mean, I've one in each area of life. I've traditionally done it sort of like in the different aspects of my life. So, say in business, in work, personal, just anything like just something because I want to do it. So I've set them in that regard.
Robby:So this is something I've I've done recently. Your business goals are not your goals. They're Pascon's goals or one class. Like that's the business's goals. Do you know what I mean? Like the business is doing those things. I'm gonna drive it, yes. But uh that's the business's goals, and the business we should take time out before the end of the year to set the business's goals. Do you know what I mean? And if you haven't done that, then you're already behind. But uh that should be the business's goals. Your goal might be to earn a certain amount of money from the business. Yep, you can split it up for sure. I I I'm a big believer in that. I I reckon that's really important because then I I think what you find as well is all of a sudden you're like, oh, I've I don't have many goals. Yeah, what the fuck am I doing? Just business. Yeah, and it's like okay, especially for business owners, yeah. You're better. Yeah, because then you're like, oh, like I I kind of I was tied in so much, and that's okay. That's all right. Yeah, you know what I mean? That's good to highlight. That's cool, but you just need to be aware of it and just understand that. Do you know what I mean? And then maybe you do need some goals outside of the business, or maybe you need to just be aware of it and then say, okay, cool, like you know, I'll do that this year, and then next year I'll have my and what it pretty much for you travel, personal health, wealth, you know what I mean? I like I I say those four main categories, then it's like the the experiences, health, wealth, relationships. One in each. Solid one. A solid one. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Get clear on what you want in that space, and that's it. Good. Yeah, you might want two trips next year. You'd be like, I'm gonna go to here and I'm gonna go to there. You might want to lose a certain amount of weight, you might want to get healthy, you might want to get flexible, you might want to run a marathon, you might want to you might want to make a certain amount of money, you might want to meet someone special in your life, you might want to increase your family relationships or have a family trip. You know, I had that as a uh goal one year.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
Robby:I was like, I want to take my mum on a trip.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, how cool.
Robby:Janine, and I did it. And I was like, Cool. That was sick, knocked it out of the park. Um You know, and then and then build them into habits. And I think that that will build for a better life. But all in all, man, reflecting, I would say um 2025 is a good year.
