Absolutely. One of the entrepreneurs I wrote about, Jason Allen Scott, is a speaker. And he said, never have a boss, never be a boss. And that's a good mantra for the million-dollar one-person business. It's not most people's dream to manage other people. What's so nice about the system that you're using is the VA has a business too.

Well, sometimes with good reason in some of the big companies, they will lose their job.

It's really important to be different. There are so many copycats out there. And one way people learn is by copying. But at a certain point, you really have to differentiate yourself and stand out. And I think with the million dollar one person businesses, they bring a lot of personality to the business. I mean, obviously, you value personality with the chair that you're sitting in.

He audits shipping bills of lading to see if there were any mistakes made in shipping a bunch of shirts to JCPenney or somewhere like that. But what he does is... goes to the CEOs and says, I found a $250,000 mistake. Do you want me to tell you what it is and collect it? But I get to keep 50%. And he does it with a flourish. He has these pins made for his fancy suits and things. He was an actor.
