Yeah, 100%, man. And it's kind of like I spoke on before, like it wasn't because of my burnout, because I'm just like you said, we're cut from the same cloth. Like I can go 100% all day, every day, get four hours of sleep, wake up the next day, be ready to go again. But man, my family was getting burnt. Like they were getting torched. Again, no weekends, like not even a thought of a weekend.

Luckily, kids weren't in school yet. We were dealing with newborns. But when you have a wife that is just coming off her pregnancy and we're preparing for another one, it's not easy for them. And having a separated husband, we were kind of living two different lives. She was being a parent to our kids and I was being an employee to this business.

So that that journey, you know, it lasted about eight months again of just grinding early mornings, late nights and just giving all my spare time, even at work. Again, you know, I was lucky enough to to work at a job that allowed me breaks to where I can get on calls and learn the information. But just really long days in the beginning.

Yeah. I mean, honestly, you know, and it kind of, I don't want to say like hurts me to mention this on camera, but, you know, like there's even my own kids birthdays that we've sacrificed, you know, like our own, you know, holidays.

Like we've never put too much emphasis on, you know, like those additional holidays, you know, like Valentine's Day and all those things like we make very short work of them. But I mean, we've sacrificed just about everything. And on top of finances, you know, like we kind of went into this solely based off faith, just through the understanding like, hey, there can't be another way.

And just like you were saying before, like can't serve two masters. Like when I go into something, I'm kind of all in. So I realized like working in the car industry, I was kind of half-assing both. And it's starting to affect me as well. For sure. So, yeah, I mean, when it comes down to sacrifice, I mean, man, we were willing to sacrifice it all, you know.

started to become where I started to get repeat business stuff like that but one thing that you kind of touched on again is like purpose like who do we want to be as men again we all have that kind of provider instinct that like hurts if you can't do those things but one thing that my wife and I decided like when leaving the car industry because I didn't do a single deal when I decided to quit I had two deals that blew up in my face like on closing day so that's always fun but I didn't have a single deal yet when I decided to quit and
