So the rational Chris, the Chris with four kids says, absolutely.

Like you gotta be a dad.

You gotta be a husband.

You gotta provide for your family.

Right.

And again, there's so many tools out there for testing, for scaling, for outsourcing.

We can find a business partner to help pick up the slack.

We can use our kids.

We can use our spouse, whatever.

There's so many ways to really vet something out before quitting that we don't have to quit.

But again,

The other side of my mouth, there's been two times in my entrepreneurial career when someone burned the boats for me, right?

I pull up to an island and so I've got my plan B. I'm testing this business.

This business is profitable.

It's paying the bills.

And then someone else in the middle of the night, they snuck out, they burned my boats.

I wake up and I'm like, whoa, where's my plan B?

I wasn't ready to burn those boats yet.

And plan A just freaking thrives, right?

And it's not so much because of the fact that I don't have a safety net anymore, but it's because that event put a chip on my shoulder that makes me want to prove those bad guys wrong, right?
