Because when I have those moments where you're like, shoot, what if I go off this ramp and I'm about to die?

Or you have some health scare because you see a lump somewhere and you're like, oh my God, is it cancer?

And it's not, or whatever.

Those moments, you do this quick check on your life and you're like, do I need to change everything about what I'm doing?

For me, when I have those moments, I look back and say, this is what I would have done.

I feel like the work that I do

helps people and it's something that I find interesting, so I do it.

And much of my day does not include that.

And much of my life leading up to this did not include that.

I thought that pursuing my passion and being in fitness, and because I liked working out, but me working out with friends is such a small slice of my life.

I'm back at the beginning again, right now at the gym that I can work out with the people that I like and I do not have a gym business.

I say this to say that the suffering will not stop.

We work because on some level we think the suffering will end and it just won't.

And so I think if you accept the suffering as the toll that you pay on all these paths, then at least you get to pick where you go.

And I think that is something worth fighting for.

There are only four main types of businesses.

So your business is one of these four.

And understanding what shape my business was has allowed me to develop a portfolio of companies that generate over $250 million a year at acquisition.com.

And so if you have a business, you need to know what shape your business really is to maximize the opportunity you're in.

And if you don't have a business, you should know what you're getting into so you can pick the right one for you.
