I think the big misconception and where people kind of fuck up and fall down is like... They think it's going to be easy. And the first sign of things being hard, they just tap the fuck out. Because most human beings want to be comfortable. And I get that. But if you want to do anything of substance or anything great in your life, it's going to be difficult. And it's going to be hard.

And I think that... That was a great lesson for me because the other thing is it doesn't stop. So like once you reach one level of success and you're like, man, we made it, right? We got to this mountaintop. Well, now it's another one. Well, guess what? Your problems got three to four to five times harder just the proportion of money that you make is exponentially more. But the shit gets harder.

But the shit gets harder.

It gets way harder. So it's never like it's going to be easy. The problems are way more, there's way more stakes. Yeah. Like I'm fascinated with people who are successful. Like, you know, Elon Musk, you know, some of the soundbites, whether you love them or hate them, you know, he was talking about, you know, one of the times at Tesla, they were up against the company's about to be bankrupt.

And, um, he's like, dude, I fucking slept in the office. He's like, I worked fucking a hundred hours a week. I did. And look, everybody has a different level of that, but I'm just saying, I mean, that's the richest guy in the world. You know, he's always either the richest guy or fighting to be the richest guy in the world. Um,

again, not all about money, but at the end of the day, if you want to do anything special or of substance in your life, it's going to be difficult. It's going to be hard. Yep.

Yeah, so, um, so, oh, wait, so, oh, wait, so, oh, nine did really well. And then 2010, the guy who brought me in real estate and my business partner, somebody that was like a big brother to me committed suicide. Yeah. Right. And we were still kind of in the recession. And so my point is, just going back to the same thing, here we go. I see some light. I start to do really, really well.

And then my business partner that I earned a bunch of shit with kills himself, right?

No, dude, he was like my brother. And so again, here I am again, like... You know, and so I will tell you another pivot right there. And thank God I learned this early is instead of being the, you know, instead of letting shit spin out of control, you know, maybe going to a substance abuse or doing stupid shit. I just was like, man, I cannot be the victim. Right. And I don't know.

Obviously, I believe in a higher power. I know you do, too. I didn't know what the lesson was at the time. Do you know what I mean? I know it now. But at the time, I didn't know it. But I just looked at it like, as hard as this is to swallow, there's a lesson in this. And I got one or two choices. The one choice is...

I can take all the things that he taught me and gave me and honor his legacy and become way more successful where I can go the opposite direction and let it destroy me and crawl into the cave of depression and, you know, oh, why me and this and that. And I'm not saying I didn't grieve because I did for a long time and it still fucks with me. But at the same time, I chose not to be a victim.
