My creditors are calling me.
I'm behind on the bills.
My wife is paying my car.
Like it's on the bottom line.
And I heard a story, I listened to a story from Elon Musk when he got on the edge.
And when they were bankrupt, he is signing a deal with Google to take over Tesla, sign off everything to sell for $5 billion, right?
And Larry Page is delaying the deal.
He wants him to bankrupt.
He is pissed off.
Friday comes, Monday, there's no money on the bank account to pay the people, right?
And he sends an email out to everybody in the company saying you're laid off and you're hired again.
And your new job is a sales job.
So if you're an engineer, you're a salesman now.
If you're a manufacturer on the floor, you're a salesman now.
If you're a customer success, you're a salesperson.
He immediately got a force of over 1,500 salespeople overnight.
Says call your friends, call your parents, call your brothers, call your neighbors, call everybody, sell deposits for Tesla.
In a day, they sold 15,000 cars, true story.
They pulled back from the deal, they get funding, and now the Tesla is where it is.
Because of that story, I was like, holy smoke, I'm doing the same shit.
