The other guy just left me hanging on the end of a text message. I think the number one challenge most small businesses have is they don't run their small business like a small business. They run it like a contractor, which is why they have the up and the down, right? They don't have a problem generating leads. They generate a lot of leads. They sell a lot of leads. And then they have to work.

And then they write it down. And then it's like a cycle. Well, it's a job for them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And now it's in a really good spot. But it took a lot of work. But I just know this because I've known you for a while. Not even the business, you. You took a lot of work, too. You're a completely different fucking person now than when you were at $5 million or $1 million, right? The personal development that you've had to do, I can only imagine, dude.

I think a lot of people don't realize in the – like social media did so much to put exposure on guys like you. And I come from the exterior cleaning world. Like Brandon Vaughn's a big guy. He's got a ton of exposure. Josh Latimer. What people don't realize though is like building that business is one thing. But building that person to run that business is different.

And I'm going to hurt some feelings, but not everybody's cut out for that, dude. Like not everybody can handle the load that you guys put yourself under to build a business with that many employees, with the work, the hours it takes. And quite frankly, the EQ that it takes. That's the big one. To be able to handle that.

And I think that gets glazed over because it's so easy to go into like, well, you got to have systems, you have operations, and then you got to train your people. And it's like, yes, true. But you also have to be the guy that shows up and doesn't have bad days or is emotionally stable person. Like nobody talks about that, man. And that's, that's why I try to always give the flowers.

I know it's like. Build a big business is cool and it's sexy and everybody wants, you know, 28 inch arms like Tommy Mello and big bank accounts. But really at the end of the day, I think we become, we gotta, we gotta,

we got to do a better job of giving flowers to the guys that take six figures home that are solo or have a couple of helpers and let those guys know that if they're watching this, it's okay to be that guy too. Like not everybody has to build a $200 million company.

And I'm not saying like, if you want to do that, if that's your mission, that's your, I truly believe dude, that's your fucking mission. We were just talking before we went on camera, like tell me in your next couple of moves with even more zeros behind them, which I'm, fucking stoked about for you.
