Some of you are still watching now from years ago when I first started these videos and I only had 10 subscribers.

I know some of you are still watching.

Now the main reason I want to say thank you is because when I started this channel, I had a big problem with confidence.

We don't need to talk about that, but this helped me.

I wake up every morning.

It's a lovely comments from you guys telling me how useful this lesson waas or giving me ideas for my next video.

I really get a lot off positive comments from you guys, and that really puts a big smile on my face.

You know, that's that's just a great feeling.

But it's also the fact that I can reach some of you who are in those places in the world that maybe can't afford my online course.

Really.

This is about you.
