I think one of my favorite sayings is that billionaires think in decades, not days.
Wow.
And the reason why I love that one is I'll never forget, I was interviewing Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn.
He sold LinkedIn to Microsoft for $26 billion.
And I was asking him,
I was like, Reed, if you were to start from zero, and you had one year to make a billion dollars, what would you do?
And he stops me and goes, I never play a one-year game.
It's a 10-year game minimum.
Todd Graves, the founder of Raising Cane, is worth over $20 billion off of selling chicken tenders.
I asked him a similar question.
He goes, I'm worth $20 billion today, but what if I can be worth $30, $40, $50, $60 billion, and I can help more people?
What if my kids one day can continue to grow that?
So he only thinks in generations.
And that is such a common thread that I've seen in the most successful people.
And I love this idea of macro patience and micro urgency.
So in the macro patience, you have to understand that this is, to build anything great, this is gonna take a long time, right?
You know this from building companies, all the people, your friends, and the people that I've interviewed, and even just, and us, and building a eight-figure business office street interviews,
Our first three to four years, like Elon Musk says, you have to eat glass.
Entrepreneurship is like eating glass and staring into the abyss.
There's a couple years where you're going to have to eat shit for a while, and that's exactly what it was.
