Most entrepreneurs aren't wired that way.

Yeah.

So, you know, the work that I do, you know, building with the end in mind is if you want to build a business, I'll call it equity centric, right?

We have to set up an entity structure as corporate LLC.

We have to give it shares of stock.

Well, shares of stock have to have a value.

Well, in order to have a value, you have to have profits.

The business has to grow on the top line, be efficient enough to bring 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% to the bottom line.

That allows it to be appraised.

That appraisal gives you a price per share.

And now we can sell some of that stock.

But before you can do that, you have to build it.

with that end in mind.

And so that's not the treadmill model, right?

Because nobody invests in the treadmill model.

It's just you.

And if something happens to you, you fall off that treadmill, you know, death, disability, or you quit, you lose your licensure.

What happens to the business?

Well, it doesn't last very long.

So that business is not investable.
