I mean, part of being an entrepreneur is being a little bit stubborn and sticking with your vision, but you also have to be open to what the world is telling you and feedback and be willing to pivot in response. You have to take absolute responsibility for your own success. All these people that are running these million dollar one person businesses have ups and downs like anybody else.

And so do scalable entrepreneurs. And they take responsibility for solving their own problems. Another thing that Jason said on one of the programs I did was no one is coming to save you. And I remember the other entrepreneurs on the call kind of teared up a little bit and you have to have that attitude. No one's going to bail you out.

It's not to say that you can't find an investor to help you or a friend to come in and pinch hit, but you really have to be willing to solve your own challenges. But when you're willing to own that, the rewards of entrepreneurship are fantastic. The freedom, the control over your own destiny, the control over who you get to work with, the control over your results.

There's really no ceiling on what you can do and your impact. And I think that's why it's so rewarding. I mean, I'm sure you find that.

Well, I always tell my kids, get in the ring. And one of the passions that I had over the years was I'm a black belt in taekwondo, and my daughters and I did this together. And you have to be willing to get in the ring and, you know, Get a few bruises and scratches and things if you want to be an entrepreneur, because there's a lot of unpredictable stuff that's going to happen.

And you have to think on your feet and be willing to lose sometimes. If you're not willing to ever lose, you'll never win.

I agree with you about that. It's so important to get out there and not be hidden. If you're not out there talking about stuff that's relevant to your customers, no one will find you. But the good news is if you start putting yourself out there, it magnetizes people who are like-minded. You won't be for everybody. That's one thing people have to let go of.

There are going to be haters and people that post negative comments and things like that, but you have to tune them out. because they're usually armchair quarterbacks and they're not doing anything. What really matters is if the people that you're marketing to are responding. Some people don't like being on social media. You have to find some way to get out there, whether it's in person.
