And I became ruthless about acquiring skills and building what I call velocity vehicles that allowed me to do things that most people just would not be able to do in life.
If I did not know something, I would be super aggressive on seeking out the book, the person, the mentor, whatever, to figure it out.
And now I've built a multimillion dollar business.
I've been able to retire my mother, my father, buy them stuff, you know, just do the thing I set out to do.
And so the real driver for me was always taking care of my family because I just thought it was unfair that my father did not get paid for his contributions.
Thank you.
Yes.
So a little analogy I use to explain velocity vehicles is imagine that you had a sack of $10,000 that was 20 miles away.
So you're standing in the middle of the road and 20 miles away is this sack of $10,000.
Now you have two options.
You can walk 20 miles to get this sack of 10 grand or you
You can walk one mile in the opposite direction and there's a car.
Now you can get in the car and you can drive to the $10,000.
Which one would you choose?
The car.
The car.
I mean, anybody who has not had a recent head injury would choose the car.
But see, the thing is, when you do that, you, at least for a moment, are temporarily walking in the opposite direction of what you want.
So what I discovered was that brute force, brute effort, and I know that there's a lot of gurus and whatnot these days who say, oh, you just got to work 5,000 hours a week and just brute effort and this and that.
I just don't believe in that because that's not what happened to me.
