And welcome to this episode of the Overgivers Anonymous podcast. I want to talk to you about something really important and it's the lessons that I learned in my business that I want to share with you because I believe in sharing my mistakes.

I believe in making sure that other people have the ability not to make the same mistakes. Now, you might still make these mistakes, and that's okay. We all make mistakes, and mistakes allow us to learn. I just think that if you can learn from somebody else's mistakes, instead of you having to make them yourself.

Then it's easier. I've learned, I've learned things both ways. I've learned by making my own mistakes, but I've also learned by watching other people and making sure that I don't make their same mistakes. And here we are changing, changing to this quarter two now. See?
