Yeah, that's remarkable. It's it's this is the stuff that a lot of times when people look at, you know, you're sitting at 18 million in revenue and people just don't really know or understand or appreciate what it took to get there. You know, so I appreciate you breaking that down for us. Now, what do you think? So from going from one hundred thousand your first year, 18 million, your third.

There's probably all kinds of things you could say that got you there, but what do you think is one of the most important kind of lessons or things you did that you could say, Hey, this is, I can tie this to why I think we got here.

Yeah. So I don't think what you said was controversial. I think actually more people should be talking about that. Nothing wrong with VAs or cheap labor, but you know, if you're going to build a winning team, it's really going to come down to the people that you hire.

And if you're looking at the long-term view of building a championship team, it's why if you look at the sports professional analogy, they go out and acquire a shit ton of talent and they pay them well, they pay the coaches well, they pay the staff well. Uh, that's how they win championships. And then the flip side of that is, uh, you could have all that.

And if you don't have the culture, no one's going to gel together. So, I'm actually glad that you said that because I do, you know, I have a lot of coaching clients and talk to a lot of different people in the entrepreneur world. And, you know, the just stick a V.A. on it to fix the problem, I think sometimes is not the smartest thing to do. And there's people that have mastered that.

Yeah. Yeah. So, and then you, you, you obviously felt, which I think a lot of people make this mistake too. You felt probably a year ago or maybe even sooner that you had to get that C-suite employee and you, you went out and actually pulled the trigger where that's where a lot of people get, get, get stuck too, is that

Um, they're afraid to hire, they hire for where they're at and not where they're going. And then they're afraid to pull the trigger to hire for where they're going.

Yeah. That's, that's brilliant. Um, You mentioned this a few times. Obviously, I believe in it. I think one of the biggest things to be successful, and I just think people underestimate this, is getting in powerful rooms. You and I are in one of the same rooms together.
