I don't have to like think like, thank you.
You know, so I have bosses in other areas of my life and it's really nice.
Like there's something to be set for a nine to five.
And some people have no desire to even test an entrepreneurship.
Great.
All power to you.
But I want people to test it.
And I think people would look at someone like me or you and think, oh, they've got total freedom.
But this is just not the case.
Even for me as a podcaster, I'm now kind of somewhat constrained by the fact that I need to publish on a Monday and I need to publish on a Thursday.
And that means lots of other work takes place throughout the week.
And I can't just go to Hawaii and chill out and spend a month off.
And then I've got all my clients now and the team members, et cetera.
So I think I'm starting a bit of a war against this idea that
independence and total freedom yeah is both something to aim for but also like realistic when you're pursuing something you love yeah i think a generation have been sold this idea of independence and i don't think it's gotten us anywhere yeah like that that's the goal freedom independence don't depend on anybody right but when i look on your life your life you've got four kids you've got lots of responsibility you've got employees you've got businesses you've got so much dependency
And that's probably the source of much of your happiness.
Yeah, exactly.
My quote of this year is, there are no solutions, only trade-offs.
Entrepreneurship is not a solution.
You're trading something for it.
