God, you know, like I don't even like the question because I know some people are afraid to talk about creating wealth. And by the way, you shouldn't be afraid to talk about credit. I think how you make your money is more important than how much money you make.
But I've always believed it is if I use that number as my finish line, the numbers I'm going to be running so many races, it's going to continuously change. The goal changes. Yeah. I think it's important that I share. When I got into business, I didn't get into the business thinking about selling it. I was just trying to make a decent living.
But then as I got smarter in business, I thought, okay, maybe I can build something really meaningful here that I could sell someday or bring my kids into if they wanted to. None of them want to be in my business. That's okay. But then it was like, hey, I had a number in mind. I thought... Man, if I can get this company to $20 million, I'm going to feel really successful.
And we hit that and passed it. And by the way, that was like an empty number for me. It was just a goal. But I thought, okay, I'm not doing this again. Because I typically want to say, if I say I want to be a $100 million company, Tommy, it's not because I want to be a hundred. It's not the $100 million you should focus on.
It's to what I've built to get to the $100 million and the impact that we're having at a $100 million company. Because what you know and everybody in my company knows is giving back is one of my core, like one of our core values. It means a lot to me. So still to this day, now we have 300-ish employees with everybody combined.
Still pay for everybody to go do customer service one Friday every single month. At that size, it's a big deal. Think about all the good that I've accomplished by creating customers. Not a $100 million company yet, but $5 million. Pretty decent-sized business. That's a lot of giving back at scale that we were able to accomplish. The byproduct of that was we made a lot of money doing it.
Yeah, we earned it. But again, two decades. Yeah, it was like it was a grind to get there.
Yeah, I'm pretty easy to find. I think you'd go on any social media platform and just search for Chris Yano. There's not many Chris Yano's out there way, you know, so you can find me there. Obviously, I mentioned at the beginning of the podcast, I have to the point home services podcast. By the way, I think we're probably due for another round of getting you back on there. Yeah.
But you can always catch us there. Those are every week of Tuesdays we launch those. I am going to be at Home Service Freedom. So I'm excited to be at the Freedom event. We just recorded a promo for it today. Me and Anna did. I'll be at Pantheon. I'll kind of be showing up to some more shows again this year. I took a little hiatus from speaking, but kind of get back on the... I got some big plans.
I got to get back on the horse a little bit and get back on stages again.
Yes. Yeah. It's going back to the East Coast. Northeast to me is always the worst because you get to like go so far up there. But yeah, I mean, it's, you know, it is something I really enjoyed doing, you know, getting on stages and speaking, but I needed to take a break. Yeah. I needed that because it had been so many years of traveling so much. So I'll be back at it.
So if you guys are going to be at those events, I'd love to meet any of you. I'll be there.
One final thought? Whatever you... Okay, yeah. So let me... So this is something I've been on as of recently. When I went into this next phase of business that we're going into, I really needed to reset my routine. And so I went to this event and I won't share the event on here, but I went to an event that was in Texas that allowed me new direction.
And it gave me four simple pillars to focus on in my life. And I'm journaling every morning, which I never did before. So that was kind of a routine. But it was these four pillars. And it was your faith, your family, your fitness, and your finance, finance slash business, which is something I've focused on, you know, always anyhow at some level, but not equally. So this is a...
A way for me to hold myself accountable weekly to each one of those pillars to make sure that I'm doing something to improve each one of those. You've heard me say no zero days a hundred times because that's a phrase I've lived by for a long time. But I want to be no zero days in all four of those pillars. And I missed two of them when we were in Vegas. I beat myself up over it.
I got back on the horse yesterday and went to the gym. I didn't want to go to the gym. I was feeling a little under the weather. from the Vegas trip, but I got myself right back on and you can drift for a minute, but get your ass back on board. And so those four pillars and whatever you need your four pillars to be, that's fine.
Or if you have six or five or whatever, to me, it's, those are the four aspects of my life that mean the most. And I hold myself accountable to moving those four every week.
You and me both, man. I'm excited. I can't wait to see what comes up on the Q&A panel. Usually I'm the one Q&A-ing on the panels.
Dude, that's how loud is RhinoX for me. I'm not.
I always appreciate it.
