I think it’s not that difficult Scott. I mean meaning that when I say it’s not difficult me it’s not easy to attain. But I think what most people don’t realize is that they’re going to have to sacrifice. There’s no there is no option other than that. I can guarantee it that if we dig in with the average reps that are hitting you know I don’t know what the names of them are but achievers club or summit club and those are the ones where they tell them hey you made your number. You’re hitting quota this quarter or something but you’re not a presence club base. I think if they just if they know that they’re doing a good job. But if you’re just doing a good job you’re going to get poor results. So you’ve got to really you’ve got to at the end of the day you have to push yourself and that’s the only thing that’s going to make it happen. And you have to decide I’m going to go to the gym an hour less. I’m going to not go see that movie if I’m not ahead of my number. I don’t go do those things because I know that there’s there’s work to be done and that’s what it comes down to to me is putting in the work. And they have to sacrifice something to get there and if they can get it without it. More power to them. They’re just better than me. But I think putting in hard work is what it comes down to.
