i'm not the best at all of those things in fact all the people we just hired last year in their particular skill set are better than me so over the course of the years to come i learned that as i did less and i made fewer decisions and i delegated more the business actually got stronger and grew faster

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

I wrote a book to answer that question.

Okay.

Building with the end in mind.

And so in this book, I talk about a story where I sit down with an entrepreneur like you and I say, so how do you want your story to end?

What's the last day on the job look like for you?

And we're not talking fire a tragic end here.

Do you want to retire?

The FBI in handcuffs leads you out.

No, that's not what we're after.

Nothing's a positive.

But do you want to sell the business for $15 million?

How would you like your story to end?

And I wanted to ask that question and then just listen.

And very few people, relatively speaking, want to sell it, walk away, and then figure out what to do next.

Some do, but most of them say, you know what I'd really like to do is if I'm good at what I do and I like what I'm doing and I don't have to work 80 hours a week, I could do this forever.

And I enjoy coming to work.

I like having a corner office.

I enjoy the income stream.
