Yeah.
Through and through.
If I stay in a business too long...
it all falls apart, right?
Just objectively.
So I need to hand off the reins at a very specific point, or I need to have a partner from the outset that knows me, my strengths and my weaknesses, that just takes over at a certain point.
So I like to say there are starters, maintainers, and finishers.
A starter could be called like a visionary and not as like a backhanded compliment way, but someone, an idea guy, right?
Not just a business idea guy, but like a marketing idea guy.
Let's change the subject line to this idea guy, like an idea machine, right?
That's a visionary.
And then you have the maintainer, which would be an operator.
That's a guy that just wakes up every day and loves tweaking little things and making small improvements, process oriented, someone that loves growing something and just fixing little problems all day, right?
And then you have a finisher, which is like a deal guy, right?
That's the guy that's a super connector.
He likes to, oh, you need to talk to Barry.
And then he calls him, he connects them.
And like, he just gets a lot of energy from connecting deals, coming up with creative deals for an exit, for a sale, putting people together, hiring the right people, seeing something to its completion.
But I'm definitely in the first camp.
Is it possible to be all three?
