It's like do I want to do that thing?
And how many of the boxes does it check, which I know will make the business successful if it checks 80% of the boxes or 70% of the boxes or whatever it is.
Yeah.
I think there's a difference between being passionate about owning a business and being passionate about like the thing that you're doing in that business on a daily basis.
Like I'm passionate about building wealth and providing value to my employees and my, the franchisees that join like that, that gives me joy.
And I'm, I'm, I'm passionate about that.
But like,
it doesn't matter if it was lawn care or power washing or roofing or whatever.
Like it, it just, it's just the being, being excited about business that it doesn't necessarily need to mean like, I'm going to like be in senior care.
Cause I love working like my grandfather, you know, died, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like all that I think can really get in the way of like, which business is going to make the most amount of money.
And will I be successful at it on a daily basis?
The other thing is like when someone owns a business or when someone starts their first business, they're learning the game of business as much as they're learning whatever business that they're in.
Right.
And so like your first time in owning a business, like it doesn't need to be some passion project that's like,
you know, going to like change the world or habitat for humanity.
It's like, you just need to learn how to operate a business.
So the more simple the business is, the less learning curves there's going to be in the other part, which is just learning how to be a business owner.
And that's what we really try to help our franchisees understand is like, we can give you all the systems and tools that you need to be successful, but you still have to have the stomach to
and the ability to go through the pains of being a business owner.
