Great question! The broader context of "don't give people money, give them opportunities" is to give people (i.e. those that work in the company) an OPPORTUNITY to make more money. I could have better connected this quote back to the idea of incentives. Grant's point was that you need to massively incentivize your team to go above and beyond. Create incentive programs that really motivate your team to push to huge goals. Those that WANT to earn more money, have the opportunity to do so! But don't simply give people raises or give "hand-outs".. give people the opportunity to make more money, with clear guidelines on how exactly they can achieve their own financial goals within your company.

Thanks for loving the video and for the encouragement, Pork Rhyne! And thanks for the feedback.. feedback always welcome!!

Dayana! Hello friend!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! It was really nice seeing your name pop up.. took me on a mini trip down memory lane back to Baytown. I hope everything is going so fantastic for you and that you're loving life!

Leland!! I hope you're doing well! Sounds like you are!! Thank you so so much for sharing. I'm inspired by your courage. Congrats on taking control and going off of autopilot... You did what many are too afraid to do! And you're so much better off because you took that risk. Really phenomenal, thank you for sharing.

Yes! Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you were able to make the change you needed!!

Thank you for your kind comment!! In a previous life I did competitive weightlifting :)

Thank you so very much, Denise!! Thank you for leaving such a kind comment. Best of luck to you as you near retirement, that is so so SO exciting!

Hi Larry - Thank you so much for your comment! I have such fond memories of my internships and of beginning my career working for/with you. I really learned a lot, many lessons that I will lean on as I continue my journey. Thank you for the encouragement and kind words, coming from you that really means a lot to me. I hope you're doing well!

Thank you for the kind wishes and the kind comment. I'm equal parts excited and equal parts nervous! For me that's a good feeling, I like to try things that I'm unsure I can accomplish.. maybe that's also what drew me to engineering and to working for a top company. But it's definitely a little unsettling at times, so no need to be too too envious :)

That's so awesome, thanks for sharing! That you found something in life that brings you such joy and purpose :)

谢谢！！！！

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!! Truly means A LOT to me. I didn't know how this all would be received... but the encouragement coming in is really something!! I wasn't expecting it. I've found for myself that it's pretty easy to look back and wish a different decision was made... and I don't spend enough time focusing on the fact that I made the best decision for me with the information I had at that time. Looking back is 20/20! And from that you can then adjust so that your future better aligns with your passions and goals. I am so proud of you that you've decided to retire early. That's a hard decision to make!!! Very brave. I wish you all the best as well. If you end up pursuing art, please let me know! I'd love to check out a website or RUclips channel or anything that you create.

Thank you so much for sharing and for taking the time to leave a comment! Really means a lot to me, to read others stories is inspiring. I'm SO HAPPY for you that you've realized your calling is elsewhere and you're embracing it. Perhaps in the moment it was really difficult (?), but looking back you see it as a blessing. Good luck to you, too, in all that you do!

Hi Chad! Wow thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Truly means a lot. I am so sorry for your loss. I am THRILLED that you had the courage to make the best decision for yourself, and thrilled that the company continues to have great people like yourself working on the really big challenges facing the world. Good for you!! Best of luck to you as well.

Hi Francessco! Thank you so so much for taking the time to create an account AND leave a comment! That's a lot of effort! I'm really touched by your message. And I am sorry that I didn't share! That's on me, I was not being as open as I could have been.. I guess I was actually a little scared still to talk openly about my dreams. Agreed this is a hard path! So it means the world that I have you and the Chinese team members believing in me. ....Let me know if you come up with a good Chinese name! I've gone by 莎莎... 牛莎莎 when I am in China, but interested to see if you think of a more fitting name :)

Hi Felicia! Thank you SO MUCH for your comment. My MBTI is INTJ. And I'm a scorpio! I'd love to know how you think this all factors into the messaging in my video :)

@@itssarahnewby I’m not an expert, but I love reading on those so don’t quote me. Scorpios are unlike other water signs - I think you love and hate, hard, almost like a fire sign. INTJ - cool, you struck me more a an INF if anything. I’m an INFP, probably why I never get around to doing stuff I want to 🤣

@@felicianai Thanks for sharing! I had to look up that personality type... this was a good website, I think! www.16personalities.com/infp-personality For INFP, it says: "Few things make Mediators more uneasy than pretending to be someone they aren’t. With their sensitivity and their commitment to authenticity, people with this personality type tend to crave opportunities for creative self-expression. It comes as no surprise, then, that many famous Mediators are poets, writers, actors, and artists. They can’t help but muse about the meaning and purpose of life, dreaming up all sorts of stories, ideas, and possibilities along the way." Are these some of the things you like to do?? I definitely encourage you to embrace that! Side hobbies can be extremely fulfilling, sometimes you don't need a drastic change! Sometimes a side hobby is all you need to feel more in-tune with yourself.

@@itssarahnewby yep! That’s the site I use often too. I definitely identify a lot with mine, which is why I find it interesting to hear others’ MBTI! I used to invest a lot of time in those but it’s now increasingly difficult to really have work-life /balance/ - though my brain’s always having the gears moving on full drive 😂😂 It’s the ‘P’ though - we spontaneous but never get around to doing stuff like our ‘J’ counterparts; so I’m always in awe when I hear stories like yours - dropping it all to chase what really means something to you. ❤️

Thank you, Alex!! Virtual hug! Thanks for the support
