And then a certain amount that I was like credit cards. And you put it in, you need to tally it up with the cup count or whatever at the end of the day. And I... I didn't think about that being a million dollar business or what the revenue run rate was or what the margins were. I didn't think about any of that stuff. I was just trying to make smoothies.
And so I'll do a tiny segue for the audience here. I reject the concept of being a born entrepreneur. I think that we get better at things that we are reinforced for doing. period. And the natural born entrepreneurs are just typically people who got reinforced for doing entrepreneurial type behaviors earlier. So like I was a very security driven person for most of my life.
So like I just had jobs and then I went to college and then I got a white collar job that had prestige around it. And the most terrifying thing in the entire world for me was quitting that job. It took me six months to quit a job and I was 22 or 23 and I had $50,000 saved up and I was petrified.
And to this day, it was still the most afraid I've ever been in my entire life was quitting that job, which is ridiculous to me now in retrospect. But it was because I'd never been rewarded for that.
So it was such a huge change in behavior for me from following the trodden path because I've been rewarded over and over and over and over and over and over and over again for doing what I was told to do. Real quick guys, I have a special, special gift for you for being loyal listeners of the podcast. Layla and I spent probably an entire quarter putting together our scaling roadmap.
It's breaking scaling into 10 stages and across all eight functions of the business. So you've got marketing, you've got sales, you've got product, you've got customer success, you've got IT, you've got recruiting, you've got HR, you've got finance. And we show the problems that emerge at every level of scale and how to graduate to the next level.
It's all free and you can get it personalized to you. So it's about 30-ish pages for each of the stages. Once you answer the questions, it will tell you exactly where you're at and what you need to do to grow. It's about 14 hours of stuff, but it's narrowed down so that you only have to watch the part that's relevant to you, which will probably be about 90 minutes.
And so if that's at all interesting, you can go to acquisition.com forward slash roadmap, R-O-A-D map, roadmap.
