Consistency, accountability, transparency. Consistency. I just showed up. Accountability, I was just like, here's the deal. I told them this is what's up. This is what's going on. This is what I'm doing. And I was held accountable. I was just really open about everything. Like, here's the situation. This is where I'm at. This is how much money I make. And I'm just going to pay you back as quickly as I can. And there were a lot of people that were like, uh-huh, sure. And over time, either I won them over or they just disappeared, which was fine.
