[13:54] win-win situation for the driving for us

[13:56] so we need the drivers we have valiants

[13:58] all over the place as i told you

[14:00] was just excuse me long island

[14:04] manhattan we we have become the king of

[14:07] manhattan new york city agape the king

[14:11] of manhattan we have drivers that work i

[14:13] started working 12 o'clock at noon

[14:16] by seven o'clock they have all the money

[14:19] of the world

[14:20] if you work in manhattan once you get

[14:22] into manhattan i mean hundred percent

[14:24] you're gonna have local job in manhattan

[14:27] and you're gonna come out brooklyn

[14:28] queens from manhattan to the bronx even

[14:31] to new jersey even to westchester

[14:34] but you have to be in it to make it

[14:37] manhattan is the the hottest the hottest

[14:39] place we have now

[14:41] if you have a job in dropping in

[14:43] manhattan we guarantee you another joke

[14:46] coming out of manhattan guarantee we

[14:49] have so many steady pickups steady pick

[14:51] up

[14:52] everyday pickups that they are there

[14:55] so guarantee if we take you into

[14:57] manhattan from brooklyn queen starting

[14:59] island of the bronx guarantee you're

[15:02] gonna have another job going out of

[15:04] manhattan 40 60

[15:06] even 80 dollars it's insane i haven't

[15:10] seen anything like that

[15:12] um when i was driving out there i

[15:15] remembered to make 35 from a kennedy job

[15:18] that was a a big deal

[15:21] today or in the today

[15:23] nowaday you have this opportunity to

[15:26] make two thousand twenty five hundred

[15:28] even three thousand dollars in a week

[15:32] but you have to be working it's not just

[15:34] thinking about which job you you pick

[15:36] and choose

[15:37] is to work but for that as i usually say

[15:41] emphasize not enough

[15:43] that you must have a goal you have to

[15:45] know how many jobs you want to do that

[15:47] day how many how much money you want to

[15:49] make or how many hours you're going to

[15:51] work at work you have to have a goal in

[15:55] your life in the work and in your life

[15:58] you have to have purpose i mean is

[16:00] either to pay off your car to get it to

[16:03] pay off your apartment to get a new

[16:05] house

[16:06] to to get a dog i mean to send your kid

[16:08] to school i mean you have to have the

[16:11] goal i mean you have we have the jobs

[16:14] but you have to do your effort you have

[16:16] to put yourself

[16:17] into this

[16:19] so we we working on getting even new

[16:22] accounts even we actually

[16:25] literally we are rejecting some calls

[16:28] because we need more drivers more

[16:30] drivers thanks god for that almost 100

[16:33] drivers new driver that we have the last

[16:34] months those drivers that came back and

[16:37] new drivers but still it doesn't matter

[16:39] how many drivers we have we still can

[16:42] get more more jobs it's a blessing that

[16:45] we have thanks god for that it's not for

[16:48] my intelligence is the grace of god and

[16:51] we have to take advantage of that

[16:54] talking about grace that is a we we're

[16:56] going to take advantage of this time

[16:58] also to recommend any book that we

[17:01] happen to read we are really i'm reading

[17:04] personally this book that blow my mind

[17:07] is amazing

[17:08] is is a is a book that is for

[17:11] entrepreneurship i mean not

[17:15] it teach you how how to succeed how to

[17:18] get there this is the life the life of

[17:21] the rapper 50 cent remember 50 cent i

[17:24] don't know him i never heard of one of

[17:26] the son but his life is is written over

[17:29] here in this book

[17:32] the 50th law by 50 cent and robert

[17:36] greene

[17:37] is an excellent excellent book

[17:40] it's amazing it counted the history the

[17:43] story of uh 50 cents how how he grew up

[17:48] in the in the in the hood at this call

[17:50] in the projects and how he make the

[17:52] business drug business and then he

[17:54] becomes an entrepreneur

[17:56] but he used the same

[17:59] type of

[18:00] entrepreneur ability

[18:03] in the street and in the business and

[18:05] legal business and he they explain here

[18:08] mr

[18:09] robert green

[18:10] uh described the life of 50 cent here is

[18:13] amazing

[18:14] one of the things that when you have a

[18:16] tax when you have a goal when you have

[18:18] to get something but you got to want to

[18:20] get some place

[18:21] you have to have three things

[18:23] patience practice and discipline

[18:27] patience

[18:28] practice and discipline

[18:31] this in success that is nothing like

[18:34] microwave

[18:35] success doesn't want to

[18:38] don't knock on your door

[18:40] you have to be ready when the for the

[18:43] opportunity to come

[18:45] sometimes you have the opportunity but

[18:47] you're not ready sometimes we are ready

[18:50] but

[18:51] waiting for the opportunity so when we

[18:53] had those two points the opportunity

[18:56] and the readiness that you have

[18:59] is amazing how that i mean

[19:02] explode your possibility

[19:04] you can do it with patience

[19:07] practice

[19:08] and discipline 50 50 law

[19:12] with 50 cents and robert green

[19:16] is a most ready if you're interested in

[19:19] in excel in your life and that's the

[19:22] purpose of our professional driver that
