We got one more for you.
Third and final question.
Question number three.
Andy, last year I started my own construction business and things have been going well and I've been staying busy and what I believe to be a pretty good long-term plan.
I want to build up my customers for a few years and focus on quality and building a stronger customer base and reputation.
I know the analogy which you speak about baking a cake and trying to turn up the temperature to get it done faster, et cetera.
But also I've heard from your show and others about how things are different now and there's not much time, possibly just a couple of years to get a spot before it's not possible anymore with just the way the world and the government is heading.
I'm in my mid 20s and I believe a lot of what my generation misses that I try to implement and that building up businesses and really anything worthwhile is that it takes time.
I am perfectly OK with that idea.
And like I said, what I believe I have to be a really good set out long term plan and just letting the cake bake.
I really want to do right and take my time, but I feel like my plan may have to change because of the times we're in.
Everyone that I know that is successful in business personally and the guys that I like to listen to, like you, have all built their businesses to great success over long periods of time and consistency.
I guess my question is,
Should I still be okay with my plan, or do I need to change course to make things happen quickly because of the times we're in?
I'm afraid to make a shitty burnt cake that way, if that makes sense.
Yeah, that's right.
Or if the cake's in there, I'll just wait 27 years.
Wow.
Yeah, it's exactly what you were saying earlier, too.
It's like, you know, control what you can control.
