If you have a great finance person who's young and hungry that you trust, somebody's got to develop them

on what a $125 million CFO looks like.

Well, you start hiring those people.

And then if you don't like them, you get rid of them and get somebody else, right?

But you're not burning out your one person you really like, but they just don't know what they're doing.

And the biggest risk is those people aren't going to want to let you down and they're not going to want to show you weakness.

And you're going to find out something really bad when it happens, but they're not going to let you know it's happening to fix it ahead of time because they're scared that you'll lose confidence in them.

So that's what you're going to do to get to 25 or 30 million.

Yeah, well, just statistically, 34 and a half million small to mid-sized businesses.

92% I believe are stuck at 3 million or less with 12 employees or less.

So it is break point one.

And that's because the what works and then you hire a friend or two and then maybe you got your daughter or your wife or your mother working in the business.

And so things are kind of working because you are good at what you do.

Now you're free and you're stuck and your profitability is shrinking and you don't really know how to manage your business well because you have all these personalities.

You're not exerting leadership because you don't want to upset your mother-in-law and your daughter or your wife.

And so people are tiptoeing around each other.

But now you're spending more money.

You're hiring marketing agencies.

You're hiring employees.

You're buying vans or you're increasing your location size because you're pushing your business to growth.
