Hotel rooms, you know, all that stuff.

And thank God I was single and young because I wouldn't have survived.

But the problem was I wasn't really building a business.

I was building a job and I worked for an idiot.

Right.

No, and I think you burn yourself at both ends, and you end up crushing it, and it's not a business.

It's really just a crazy job.

And so I had to learn the other way around of building something that ran without me, because if I'm there, it depends on me.

Definitely.

If you work more and more and more, it decreases the amount because you've got to have fresh ideas.

But here's the challenge with that.

In business, when you first start out, you've got to do the number of hours because you are the business.

To get to your first million, you got to work dang hard and be great at what your business does because your first million is really you.

You are the business and you surround yourself with a group of minions sort of thing.

And that's what...

When anyone says, oh, I'm an entrepreneur, I say, well, what do you mean?

And they say, well, I've got myself, I've started my own business.

I say, well, you're not an entrepreneur yet.

You're getting there type thing.

Because that first position, you should really think of yourself as a general manager.
