Most people you bring in will break your business because they're bringing in the context of their problems from their other jobs and they're bringing them into your little business.

So if you want to go from zero to 25 million, you're just going to have to...

concede that you have to home grow that team if you've never done it before, because you don't know what that team actually looks like.

And you've met plenty of people that are like, oh, there's 6 million in revenue.

Here's my CEO.

Here's my CFO.

Here's my COO.

Here's my CMO.

There ain't no CEO, CFO, CMO that is worth their weight of anything you're paying them at 6 million in revenue.

Those are 75 million to $125 million jobs.

Somebody considering their CFO and their CMO at 6 million in an organization like ours or yours would be a director level.

Someone making 80 to $150,000 a year.

They don't know anything about a 25, 50, $100 million business.

So what happens is business owners hire these people in, they get close to them, and then they're constrained by the competency, the skillset, the leadership abilities, and the thinking of the person they gave a big title to, but they've never actually run a big company.

And so now they're stuck.

And all the decisions that are going to be made across the spectrum of five or six people are all going to be wrong because nobody's ever done it.

And so you just have to own that.

And if you want to build a $25 million company, you have to say day one, I have to grow into being the kind of leader and responsible business owner that knows how to build a $25 million company.

Once you make that commitment, you're like, what does a $25 million responsible,

profitable, successful business look like.
