So make sure that the, you know, when you look at the reports and sometimes especially the beginning, it's really hard to not be discouraged by the numbers because the numbers are so bad, right? But it you just do the best you can with what you got. That's all you kind of can do, and then you revise them. And if you haven't reached the number, you haven't reached the number yet, right? So we just go back. It just takes a little bit longer
