in retrospect, I'd want to say I wanted to do it sooner, but I never, we never would have because of the P&L, right? Like we just never had space to do it where we just kind of, we had a bit of space enough that we were like, all right, let's do this. And like, to your point, I remember talking to my business partner. I was actually in San Diego with Kent when we like made decisions.

And like, to your point, I remember talking to my business partner. I was actually in San Diego with Kent when we like made decisions.

So I'm like doing a consult with Kent, going back to the hotel room and talking to my business partner about this hire. And of course, what I'm learning from Kent, I remember saying to my business partner, because he was like, oh, he wants to talk tomorrow. I'm like, oh shit, I'm with Kent. And he's like, well, I can take the call. But like, how do you feel about this? I'm like, plain and simple.

If you think that dude's smarter than me, it's a hire. If you think I'm smarter than him, don't. Like, cause I don't need another one of me. I'm I've I'm capped. Like I got us here. Like I need, I need the next iteration of me and let's bring him on and he can start telling me what to do.

Yeah, I'll preface this with this concept that I think a lot of people miss as well. People like we've trained ourselves and we've trained people over the last, say, 10 or 15 years to think that value comes from content. And that like, if I'm going to spend 10 grand on something, it'd better have 60 hours of training and four handhold sessions. And like, somebody's going to come brush my dog.

And like, I get all this shit. And it's like, when you get over that, You know, whether that be because you got successful or you got smart. When you come over that, what you realize is that it's never about volume. It's always like you just need to hear the right thing at the right time. I remember I had the privilege of speaking with one of my favorite authors a while ago.

And he was like, and I asked him like, how do you come out with so many books over and over again? He's just like, Drew, have you read my books? He's like, they're literally the same thing. He's like, I'm just rewriting the same book over and over again. I have three points that you need to understand. And I know it'll probably take you about 20 years to get all three of them.

So I just need to keep coming out with content to keep reminding you that these are the points. So when I think of masterminds and being in the right room, What I like is that I'm paying to come above the bullshit, right? Like I'm paying to get into a room with people who have moved past the toys and the flashy and the shiny. And they're like, I have a problem. I will pay...

$100,000 if you in 30 seconds can solve it for me, right? Now people are at that level. When you ascend to that, you are now just looking at result. So the preceding lesson that I'm making here is that most people need to understand that you are not missing out on a whole bunch of stuff you need to learn. It's probably one little thing.

It's one little tiny thing where you're just like slightly focused or you have a limiting belief about something, not like you have a limiting belief about money. It's probably you have a limiting belief about hiring somebody that's smarter than you because you're afraid they're going to take over your company, right? That was mine.

And so I only needed one person to look me square in the eyes and go, is your Stripe password connected or password protected? I'm like, yeah, of course. Stripe be my payment processor. And he goes... So what the fuck are you worried about? What's he going to do? Screw up? Fire him if he screws up and hire the next guy. And like, that's all I need to hear.
