Some start at 4 a.m. and we're all different. So it's understanding you're maximizing energy and impact here. And so I'm usually hitting the ground running at about 730 from a work standpoint, you know, and then I'll go pretty hard till 630. Well, now at 57 years old, finally, after 30 years of doing that, I'm realizing that I'm going to work down to about 40 hours a week.

That's a little side note because the point is it can change over time. But for 30 years, that was my formula. And so a great way to describe it, a podcaster gave me this analogy as I was teaching this, and they said, think about it as like a fuel efficiency gauge in your car.

And when you step on that accelerator, there's this maximum fuel efficiency that if you press the accelerator too hard, you're going to burn through too much gas, too soft, you're not getting enough efficiency. And so that's what we're doing here. We're dialing in your perfect formula for maximum output.

Well, here's how I would... answer that a couple of different ways. So just like I described with me, after 30 years, I'm making a shift now to 40 hours. I think the short answer to your question is yes, but I think there's a deeper answer that says you still, at the end of the day, have a formula. And I would argue that it's almost like the triathlons you're preparing for is kind of part of your

driven entrepreneur. Yeah, yeah. It's part of my work day, for sure. I would call that part of your work, but that's just me. But my point is, coming back to me as an example, you know, yes, you'll have weeks that that increases because of what you're working on. Like when I sold EOS Worldwide, it was a very intense three-month period that I was working more than that.

But I could see myself burning out. So what I believe is if you look at the long haul, I grew EOS Worldwide 40% per year for 15 straight years because I stayed committed to that container and capacity. I may have been able to increase that growth rate if I put more time in, but it would have burned me out. And so this kind of gets back to almost like 10-year thinking.

It's looking at your life and what kind of balance do you want to have in your life? Because my point is we all have a formula. You don't need to put as much time in your business. I feel it. They'll have a lot of energy in the tank. And so you fill it with something else.
