People don't fail because they're not motivated.
They fail because their life has been set up to keep them average.
All through super popular and perceived normal, silent habits that have been designed to make you feel busy responsible, productive and good, but are actually keeping you stuck.
And the harshest truth you'll learn in this life is that the most dangerous habits are not the obvious ones.
It's the normal ones, the ones that everybody does, the ones that people have normalized which therefore, will keep you apart of the 99.
And I know if you're watching this video, you want to be in the 1%.
You want to level up.
You want to outgrow yourself.
You don't want to be stuck in the same basic life that just about anybody could have.
I've designed this video of 10 non-basic, never heard before tips that will help you avoid the traps that everybody else falls into, because I don't want you to be disconnected from your full potential for yet another year.
First video of 2026 and I feel pumped.
We are ready for a whole new year together.
New goals, new potential, new growth, new success.
We got this.
And since we're on the topic of a new year, rebrand and glow up, I have to mention my guided journals, Obsessed with Growth and Obsessed with Manifestation.
Before you go anywhere, I know everybody sells guided journals.
They are all over the market.
But I would bet my life on the fact that these are unlike anything you will ever see on the market.
And that is exactly why I designed them.
I have never bought a guided journal in my life, because every time I researched them I knew they wouldn't fulfill my needs.
And I journaled in a very specific way to be able to reach the growth, the goals and the potential I wanted in life.
So I made the journals that are based on the frameworks and strategies.
I would draw up myself on blank pages so that you guys could use them as well.
If you like the advice I give in my videos, if you like anything about what I've achieved or how I go about my life, it's all in a template here for you to use.
This one is more of your daily journal.
It gives you so much space to write every single day.
You get a double page spread.
You get a little bit of manifestation, blank pages, progress checks.
You can write about your thoughts, your gratitude, your goals, have little checklists for your productivity, whereas obsessive manifestation is completely different.
Every single page is different and based on the most effective neuroscience-backed manifestation techniques like law of detachment, self-concept work, aligned actions, law of assumption scripting, front manifestation and so much more.
I won't waste this video talking all about it, but you can check out the link below and learn even more.
You can also get both in a discounted bundle, because I want this to be as accessible for you guys, so you can make as much progress as possible in 2026.

Okay, silent mistake.
Number one that you need to stop doing in 2026 is trying to be anything when you already are.
The concept of trying, or telling yourself that you're trying to achieve something or trying to become something is just an endless cycle of never being done, never being enough, not quite being accomplished yet.
Therefore, it's so important for you to change your mindset, to embody what you want as if you already have it, and do it so delusionally.
For example, when it comes to dating, you're not trying to make this person like you and invest in you.
You've changed your mindset to know you are already so worthy, so fascinating, so magnetic, so worthy of somebody's time and effort and resources.
That is your genuine belief system, which then influences how you show up, which is as your most confident, baddest self, which then influences how everybody around treats you.
Another example, since we're on the topic of goals, is if you are trying to grow as a creator online, you're not trying to be a famous, successful creator, because when you tell yourself oh, I'm trying to grow my following, all you're telling yourself is I'm not there yet.
I'm still really small.
I don't have what I want.
I don't have the skills.
I don't have the experience.
I don't have the audience.
So you need to change your mind to say you already are a creator with a million followers.
Why?
Because when you change that inner belief, you will start showing up, posting and thinking of ideas that align with the one million follower.
Creator version of yourself.
If that's why you want to be which means you will inevitably get it, because you deserve what you want why wouldn't you show up right now how you would anyway, once you get the thing?
At the end of the day, this really is just an energy and a self-love game.
Like.
Stop trying to be liked and approved by others when you need to tell yourself you already are that girl.
You need to have the core assumption that you are liked and loved and needed by the job, by the opportunities, by the people that you want in your life.
Why you ask?
My answer is why the hell wouldn't you?
Why the hell wouldn't you do that favor to grant yourself that self-love and confidence, so that you can at least move a little bit more confidently and audaciously towards where you want to be?
Because honestly, this whole conversation and just the mindset of trying is kind of a form of self-rejection.
And when you are living in that energy, all of your actions are like you're just auditioning for something, because you don't believe you can be there yet.
You're waiting for other people to tell you you're worthy.
You're waiting for other people to say, we like you or we'll watch you or you're worthy of this job.
You don't become anything through trying.
You become things by saying you already are them, by embodying it.
Because if you truly believed you had the potential to be a 1 million follower creator, would you still post inconsistently?
Would you still procrastinate on editing these videos?
Would you still self-doubt when you put hours into making some piece of content and then just decide you're not going to post it because you feel embarrassed?
No, you've got 1 million followers that love and adore you and want to see what your thoughts are.
So you put it out.
And the real self-love lesson in all of this is to stop moving the goalpost.
You are the one that's making yourself feel worse on a journey that's already hard.
So many people make it a habit to be like oh you know, I'll do that photo shoot or I'll wear that when I'm thinner, or I'll finally get in the relationship I want when I'm more attractive or I've had a glow up.
Or, oh yeah, I'll live that lifestyle when I'm richer, when I have the right resources, when I'm at a certain point in my life.
And then you actually start making progress.
And then there's new goalposts and there's new things for you to hit just to feel worthy of the thing.
But you can decide you're worthy of the thing in this moment, right now, without any physical evidence.
It's all in here.
This links into mistake number two, acting with the most reasonable logical next step.
What I mean by this is you don't even know, you're self-sabotaging that when you are planning out your schedule and your to-do list and you're thinking okay, this is where I am right now and I want to get to point B.
So this is what I'm gonna do to get to point B. No, mistake, wrong, keeping you small again.
Forget the next most logical step.
That's easy, that's normal, that's boring.
Instead, curate your daily routine according to the person that you ultimately want to be.
Not step B, step Z, And let me break this down for you even further using our favorite girls Lola and Athena.
Lola wakes up super early and gets on with her to-do list so that she can work towards her dream career.
Sounds good, right?
Yeah, it's good.
Nothing wrong with that.
It's just, it's normal.
99% of the population does that.
Athena.
On the other hand, she takes it up a notch because she's designing herself her ideal woman she wants to step into and her dream life.
She wakes up early.
She does a morning routine that she has crafted according to the energy that she wants to be in for the rest of the day.
That mirrors the routine of the woman that she eventually wants to be, with the lifestyle and success she eventually wants to have.
Her morning routine is like a portal into her most abundant self, with how she spends it and how she feels throughout it.
When she's getting ready to leave the house and go do some work on her side, hustle on her business out in a cafe, she looks in the mirror and she puts on an outfit that mirrors what she would wear once she makes it because she wants to be in that energy as much as possible, so that she can attract it even faster, so that she can align to where she wants to be.
She's not going to wait to feel worthy or to feel ready for it.
She's not going to think, oh, I have to go and get these work tasks done for the next two hours.
No, no, no.
I want to feel like I've already made it while I'm doing it.
And she goes to a cafe to do this work, so that she can work on her confidence by being perceived publicly on a daily basis.
That's her inner work that she's doing.
With her to-do list.
She prioritizes and organizes it based on the tasks that are going to make a real difference and help her jump to where she wants to be, versus the little menial tasks that feel good and feel productive but aren't actually upgrading your life in the long run.
Truly think about it.
There are so many little things you do that take up your time on a daily basis that really just connect to the current version of you.
And so you think they're good and they're productive, but it's like, would I do this once I make it?
Would I do this once I have everything on my vision board?
No.
Why am I still doing it?
How can I work around this?
How can I change my schedule?
How can I outsource this?
For example, instead of working in a local cafe, she's going to go and work in a luxury hotel lobby so that she can surround herself with abundance, because that's what her future self would do.
Those are the environments her future self is constantly in, so she's bringing it into the present.
Instead of FaceTiming her friend for a casual catch up, she's going out with her in the city, going on a walk, going window shopping, going out to lunch, experiencing life, experiencing the city together, because that's her dream, that's her goal of making the most of herself, of her life, of having valuable conversations and creating new experiences with the loved ones in her life.
Do not set goals and tasks that match your current identity.
That's you taking the next logical step.
And the reason you do it is because it comforts your ego.
There's nothing out there that feels scary and out of the ordinary and out of your comfort zone.
But those are all the things you need to rush towards, because that's what's actually going to make you grow and turn into the next version of yourself.
Confidence is the reward.
It's not the prerequisite.
It's not something you're supposed to have before you try something new.
It's what you get from trying something new.
So many people are secretly in this trap and they don't even know it where.
They're in a constant state of preparing.
Oh, I'll do the public speaking when I feel ready or I've overcome my fear.
No, you need to do it now so that you can overcome the fear.
Oh, I'll post the content eventually when I feel like I'm confident in my looks and in my speaking and in my ideas.
Girl, how are you gonna get there?
Until you get the experience and skills that comes from posting and failing and learning from it.
Oh, it's not perfect yet, or oh, I'm not ready yet.
Like, no, all of those things require action.
You feeling ready, you feeling confident, you feeling good about yourself.
You need to do something about it first.
Also on the topic of confidence.
What I really want to talk about is this conversation that I see everywhere, which is I'm in my 20s.
I don't know what I'm doing.
There's so many different paths for me to take.
Everyone's doing something different.
Oh my God, when you graduate or when you're in your early 20s, there's so many things you can do.
I don't know what I'm doing, but no one else knows what they're doing.
And we're just all confused together.
Haha, so cute.
I hate this conversation and this narrative because it implies that there's something to know when there isn't.
No one knows what they're doing in life.
That is so true because there isn't anything to know.
It's your decision to make about your life and your responsibility to have confidence in that choice, to stop questioning.
Oh my God, am I doing the right thing?
If you love it, if it fills your cup, it's the right thing for you.
And okay, maybe the logistics are a bit hard or maybe financially it doesn't make sense yet.
Then it's your job to make it all make sense, to fill out all of the little holes and all of the little difficulties, to bring it into your life in a way that works for you.
And don't tell me it's hard, and don't tell me it's unrealistic and it doesn't work, because I can name you dozens of people that have done it.
I know doctors who have side hustles as influencers or DJs, because they wanted both.
So they rearranged their life and they figured out the solution to be able to have it all.
Do you think anyone was giving them advice, telling them to do both of those things?
No, but they didn't sit around wasting time thinking I want to do both of these things, but I don't know which path I want to take.
They created their own path because that's what you're supposed to do.
Truly, it just boils down to what do you want the most?
Not what makes the most sense, not what's going to work because you get to control that.
It's what do you want the most?
What can you picture yourself doing for years on end?
What are you truly passionate about?
What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning?
Because let's be honest here, I know you don't want all of those little paths equally.
I know you have all these options in your head and you're like oh, I don't know what to choose.
You do know what to choose.
The only thing that's making you consider all the other options is external circumstances.
What other people gonna think my parents don't want me to do this?
Is this realistic?
I don't want people to know if i fail.
Fear of regret, fear of failure only acting when you feel confident truly at its core is just procrastination and i think we all need a reminder.
Confidence is not a requirement to do anything because you get to pretend, you get to fake it and guess what?
No one's gonna know.
I've done it more times in my life than i can count.
And let's say you pick that path and you try it and maybe it goes wrong and maybe it wasn't the right thing for you.
That's so fine.
You get to start again.
You're allowed to make mistakes in this life.
So many of us do.
You're allowed to get some choices wrong.
And guess what?
Once you start again and you try again, you're gonna have confidence.
You know why?
Because you lived life.
You experienced things.
You would have spoken to or met new people in the experience.
You would have gone to new places.
You would have unlocked new parts of yourself.
That's confidence.
That's life experience.
That's gonna help you the next time you make a new choice.
Silent mistake number four you need to stop is emotions based on today.
No, no, no, no, no.
I want you to stop practicing future feelings, because manifestation at its core is believing in your goals so deeply that you are filled and shaking with excitement right now, in this current moment, even though you've got no proof, no confirmation, you've not even taken a step yet, but you know it's going to happen, so much that you are jumping up and down like somebody's told you you've already got it.
You are filled with joy as if it's already confirmed.
That's what manifestation is.
That's why there's no point in spending hours days, weeks on end in an emotion that's based on today, when really you need to be focusing on the emotion of where you want to be.
For example, your emotion today might be frustration because you're like I didn't wake up on time.
Now I'm behind on my whole schedule for the day.
Or I feel like I'm in a slump.
I'm not motivated.
I didn't do a proper workout.
I'm not in the right energy.
All normal things, by the way, that everybody goes through regularly, but now you're too obsessed with the frustration of feeling like you failed yourself for just being a regular, normal human being, instead of bringing in a future feeling which is going to help you manifest, which is going to raise your vibration, which is going to make you have a better day and feel better about yourself.
What would you rather out of the two?
Come on and I get it.
Everyone has bad days and you are allowed to feel frustrated if you messed up and things aren't going your way and you feel overwhelmed.
But you have to remember you can be imperfect.
Today you can have a bad day.
That can be true and exist, while also holding the truth that your goals and your success and everything you want is still inevitable, even though today was bad.
That's what you need to remember, because your future is not getting built on your mood.
It's not getting built on the fact that you feel like such a victim today, but it absolutely does get manifested and built by the frequency you are tuning into.
Silent.
Mistake number five is trying to add your way into a better life without subtracting anything.
You're keeping every old commitment in your life and then wondering why all the new stuff isn't working.
Adding a bunch of new habits and things to try and create a better life is actually just the fastest way for you to be burnt out and overwhelmed.
And this is such a huge silent, secret mistake because it tricks you into thinking you are making progress.
Oh, but I go to the gym now and I'm seeing these people and I've got these plans and I've got this new side hustle and I've got so much going on.
Meanwhile, half the time you've got a bunch of stuff that you're still entertaining and pouring effort, time and energy into.
That is so misaligned to where you want to be.
It's literally sabotaging you and dragging you all the way backwards so that you can't move forward.
On the one hand, you have so much on that you don't even have the capacity for that.
You can't be consistent.
You're constantly stressed out because you've given yourself too much to do and put such a high workload and standard to yourself that you can't even keep up with, which then makes you feel frustrated because you're like why am I not motivated today?
Why don't I have a work-life balance?
There's just so many problems.
But then, on the other hand, You can't even manifest your dream life and grow into the next version of yourself, because you haven't made literal, physical space for new things and new blessings, new people, opportunities to enter your life.
You're still busy entertaining toxic friends, old connections, conversations that drain you, and then you're manifesting high value friendship groups and wondering why am I not getting it?
It's because you're communicating to the universe that you're okay with this environment of overwhelm and stress and low standards.
Every meaningful upgrade you want in your life first requires a trade.
You have to give something up to get something.
An example of this is I was in back-to-back really bad relationships.
Told this story many times, so we won't go into the details of it, but I decided to take a whole year out of my life to focus on self-love and being single.
I had to give up the comfort of chasing male validation because It was my most toxic trait and it was something I was super comfortable with.
Giving that up, giving up dating and the attention of flirting and talking and being in a relationship to get the confidence and the self-love that I wanted and then the actual true, healthy love which I have now.
I could only get the relationship I'm in right now by giving up all of the rest and going on my journey of working on myself.
Same with the amazing group of friends I have in my life right now.
I had to realize the friendships I had before were unfulfilling, didn't match my standards and didn't match where I wanted to go in life.
And I had to stop settling for that to actually make space for the people I really wanted.
This is what real grown-up discipline looks like.
Not cramming as much into your life as you possibly can to show off or appease your ego, because you do so much, but recognizing what actually deserves your space, your energy, your attention in your life and focusing on that because it aligns to where you want to be, not because it makes you look busy.
Mistake number six is not talked about enough and this is missing things or feeling nostalgic.
Missing things or people, or environments or times in your life is simply a distraction from the life that you're trying to build.
If you are thinking about a memory or someone from your past, that's absolutely fine.
But to get to the stage of actively missing something means you are being more loyal to your old standards, to your old emotions, to your old life instead of the new one that you really deserve.
Instead, you need to treat all that nostalgia and all of those old memories as useful information that you can use when crafting your new life, your new relationships.
There might be something that was really romantic or really sweet about an old relationship.
You need to log that and think okay, I can still desire that feature or that part of that experience while still building something better and more aligned for me.
When you catch yourself romanticizing old experiences, maybe when you were younger or with your family, don't go into this hole of reminiscing on it so hard that you miss out on your life right in front of you.
Instead, ask yourself, what made that memory so meaningful to me?
How can I bring some of that joy into my current life or the one that I'm building?
And don't get it twisted.
When I say don't miss anyone or anything, it's not about being like a cold robot type of person.
It's about ensuring that you are not diluting your momentum on the journey that you know you're meant to be on.
You can appreciate the life and the experiences you've had so far, but the real flex is building a life so abundant, so joyful, that your past is simply something to be grateful for, not something for you to crave.
Mistake number seven is accepting resistance and difficulty in your life.
I feel like everyone has collectively agreed that growth and discipline is just a really hard thing to do, and i completely disagree because firstly, why would you want to think like that, why would you voluntarily believe that?
And secondly, this is all in your control.
Once you set your goals, a step that so many people miss out on is looking at those goals and thinking how can i make this as easy and achievable as possible?
For me, for example, the goal might be to work out and get fitter.
Okay, How can I make this so easy that I'm consistent and I enjoy it?
And it's not this path, filled with obstacles every single morning that I have to fight and get stressed over.
For me because I don't like working out or going to the gym.
It was.
I don't need to work out to get a bigger butt or get abs or build a particular body type.
There's so much resistance and difficulty around that in my head.
Instead it's I'm gonna go to the gym and I'm gonna move my body for at least 30 minutes, dependent on my energy for that day.
I am doing this as an act of self-love and self-respect, because I deserve to give my body its healthiest shot possible by moving it for just a short period of time, once a day.
Already.
That feels easier, that feels more achievable and it feels more logical to my brain that I actually wanna go and do it, not setting myself up for this impossible standard that I feel like I've already failed at before I even go there, which makes me wanna skip out on it entirely.
Another example let's say you're someone that works from home all the time, but you're like you know what all the days are blowing together.
I need to get out there.
I need to go outside, see people, experience the world, experience city life okay, and so you want to start working out in offices or in a cafe.
How can you make that easy and not get seduced by your sweats and the comfort of your own home?
You're going to pick up an outfit that you're so excited to wear that's going to make you feel like your hottest self okay, that you wouldn't wear if you're working from home all day you're.
You're gonna lay it out the night beforehand.
You're gonna go to your favorite cafe.
You're gonna get your favorite latte.
You're gonna organize something at the end of the day, which is a reward for you stepping outside of the house and getting things done.
Maybe it's watching a movie at home.
Maybe it's going to a friend's house.
Maybe it's cooking your favorite meal.
Accepting resistance and difficulty is just shooting yourself in the foot, because as soon as you label something as hard, all your brain starts to think about is pain and excuses and an escape route.
Because the truth is there should be no struggle in keeping your promises to yourself.
But there absolutely should be systems and strategies that you need to employ to make the journey as easy as possible so that you can become the best version of yourself.
This links into mistake number eight, which is trying to fix symptoms instead of the system.
The conversation around trying to become more motivated or fixing your discipline makes no sense.
You can't fix your motivation, but what you absolutely can do is redesign your schedule.
Figure out what that resistance and those obstacles are and gain clarity on the triggers which is forcing you to repeat the same cycles over and over again.
Every day you're so frustrated with yourself because maybe you weren't consistent with your workout and you're thinking, oh my God, why can't I do it?
Maybe I'm just someone that doesn't like the gym.
I don't get why I can't go.
Maybe I'm just not motivated or I'm a perfectionist.
And you're giving yourself all these little excuses to explain why the thing didn't come true, why you couldn't action the habit.
And in you doing that, you are simply putting a bandaid on an injury that literally needs surgery.
Because what you really have to be doing is asking yourself, why?
Why do I keep missing the gym?
Why do I keep procrastinating on my work?
What's making me fall into these patterns?
Is it my ego that triggers me to keep canceling and self-sabotaging because I feel like it's not perfect enough?
Once you figure out all of those little cues which keep making you slip up, but you feel like those slip ups are just happening coincidentally, you can prevent the slip ups, stop self-sabotaging and design a new better, more efficient system that helps you be more consistent and also fulfilled whilst you're achieving all of your goals.
It's your responsibility to make your new habits and your goals inevitable by doing the prep beforehand keeping your phone in another room, working away from home, having an accountability buddy, figuring out what energy you have that day and then doing the routine that suits that best, instead of getting frustrated and beating yourself up for not being able to do your routine for your days where you have 100 energy.
Mistake number nine is addiction to routine.
This is something that feels so good and so productive, but again, self-sabotaging.
And honestly, I fall into this trap all the time too.
Normal people grow so comfortable with their day-to-day routines that they forget you need to step out of it so you can actually live life.
Life becomes this blur of gym and eating and sleeping and working, and you repeat that every single day and, before you know it, months have passed and you're wondering why you're not excited with life anymore, why your mental health is bad.
If you really want to live a fulfilling life, if you really want to make the most of 2026, then you've got to do some side quests here and there, even if it's working somewhere completely new, doing a different activity with your friend that you would never do, taking your daily morning walk in a touristy spot in your city.
Being addicted to your routine is the easiest way to waste an entire year of your life because you're just doing the same things over and over and over again.
And since we're on the topic of glowing up and growing, how are you going to grow if you never do anything different?
And this is such a silent trap because your routine is comfortable, but it also feels safe and productive, because you're like I'm doing everything I need to do.
But the truth is you can do everything you need to do.
But you just got to get creative with the way that you do it, how you do it, the time that you do it and also the time you slot in to do things that you would never do, so that you can experience parts of yourself and parts of life that you never would otherwise.
That's where the real confidence and the real joy and the real growth is built.
And hey, if you love routine so much, one of the things you can schedule in once a week to your routine is try something new.
And then every single week that try something new can be something different which, because I fall into this trap all the time, I've actually put in to my 2026 habit tracker.
And let's go back to a previous step and set up the systems to make it even easier.
After this video, I want you to research random side quests that you would be interested in.
Keep it in the notes up in your phone and then, every single week, when it's time to try something new, you can reference it, pick whatever one you're feeling at that current time in your life and then action it and then see what a difference it makes for you.
And finally, silent mistake, number 10, my personal favorite and the thing that I'm really working on in 2026 is not scheduling friendships because, oh my god, adult connection is hard and it doesn't happen naturally and it's something you've really got to like, actively work on and put energy into okay.
And I saw this on social media recently and I couldn't agree more.
Catch-up culture is also ruining friendship so much because we only see each other every two or three months, and then all we're talking about is what we've been up to and rehashing the same old experiences we have had, instead of creating new experiences together.
And I really wanted to include this in the video, because when I talk about goals and dream life, I'm not just talking about money and accomplishments and success and work.
I'm talking about relationships connections friendships, high value, meaningful conversations, where you leave that interaction and you come home and you just feel alive because you've got the right people around you.
But that right there, that doesn't happen accidentally.
That doesn't happen by meeting up with your old friends and just catching up on what you've been doing, because then the friendship doesn't grow.
It doesn't deepen.
You don't continue building your connection because you're not discovering anything new together.
So for the first time in my life can't believe it's taken me so long, but all throughout 2026 and also in the last few months of 2025, I was doing this.
I've been on this journey for a while is I have calendar repeated notifications telling me to book in time with my friends.
And even before the new year.
While I was doing all my prep of like reorganizing all of my clothes and tidying the whole apartment and writing my list of goals and making my vision board, another one of the tasks I was doing was texting my friends and being like what's the first meetup of January?
Where are we going?
What are we doing?
And it's made me feel so good because I poured so much time into it at the end of 2025.
The emotions I felt from just those few friendship experiences beat so much.
Beat so much of like the accomplishments or the red carpets that I walk or the cool work tasks I get to do.
I love that, but nothing beats an amazing conversation with friends where you feel understood, where you feel loved, where you get to grow with somebody and learn about them and understand them.
It's so important for you to create a life in 2026 where connection is a priority, not an afterthought.
You don't want to finish another year with a bunch of accomplishments but no one to enjoy it with and wondering why you feel so lonely and why it feels like you don't quite have that life balance because you haven't taken into consideration every aspect of your life love friendship family self-development, spirituality.
Yes, there's work.
Yes, there's money, but there's also so much else.
And that brings us to the end of this video.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed filming this video.
If you want to know a little bit more, I actually posted a similar video this time last year about mistakes not to make in January.
So you can go watch that.
I haven't repeated anything from that video in this one.
They are completely different.
I always make sure of that.
So go check it out, along with all the other videos I posted throughout December that are going to help you level up in 2026.
Thank you so, so much for watching.
I'm so excited filming this being here for the first video of the year.
We've been on this journey together for so, so long, and I can't wait to keep continuing it with you guys.
Let me know what you want to see in 2026.
I will be reading the comments and also, every single time you recommend a video, I write it down and I make sure I get it done at some point at least.
So I love your recommendations.
Please tell me.
I'm here to give you as much value as I possibly can this year.
Thank you for all of the support.
I appreciate you and I hope you're having the happiest new year ever.
Bye.
