That I could show up at a meeting drunk if I had to, and you would still love me. That is bottom line. And everybody's like, oh yeah, I don't have 90 days. You don't have 30 days, whatever. You know what? You got to the meeting. How hard is it sometimes just to get to the meeting? The amount of courage it takes. If you've got the desire, I'll work with you 200%.
