You just didn't listen to me. I mean, now, by the way, you've always really listened to me. But this one, you just said, I'm done. Like I've had I'm up in my threshold and it's over.

Yeah. And this is, you know, it's funny. We talk about your, you know, job and career. no weekends and working to the bone and 80, 90 hours a week on clock and 30 hours a week. Like, and then people take this, like creating their own business entrepreneurship and And they treat it like dirt, right? And they don't take the same amount of sacrifice.

You are willing, most people are willing to do that for a boss, their boss. Their boss says, I need you to work 80 hours a week. All right, boss, that's what you're supposed to do. That's what my dad did. My grandpa did. This is what happens is blue collar. You work. not disrespecting it. But then you go start your own business and you don't take that same work ethic in your own business.

And that was actually what I see to be your breaking point is you're like, I can't give my own business, my own journey, my own life, the same amount of time I'm giving this car dealership. And that's where you broke and said, I need to be able to invest the same amount of time because if you do, you'll ultimately reach the reward, which is the bigger thing, the more time.

And, you know, I got a very sweet text message. Your wife the other day was so proud of you with your son at baseball practice. And she was like, thank you. You know, for everything, because you now get to have those moments. And that's again, money is great. And I want you guys to be beyond rich. But like at the end of the day, that is ultimately what it boils down to.

And you couldn't do that by serving two masters. Right. Like I say, it's kind of funny, but I say you can't date two chicks at the same time. Like it never works out. Right. Right. Right. No one loses. And so you made the right choice. But you guys listening. I'm not telling you to quit your job either. And neither is Anthony, I don't think. I just think you need to really make a decision.

Like, are you going to put forth the effort, right? Because if you are going to hold a job and start your business and be a real estate investor, what are you sacrificing? I mean, give some examples of the things you were sacrificing doing all this. I mean, weekends, toast, morning, night. I mean.

And to some extent, I know you have, right? Yeah. And we don't have to go into everything you're doing right now, but, you know, being a lender and all this other stuff. But I think this is not for everybody. And what I'm about to say is not for everybody, but it is also for everyone. This is why the first principle of success is that decide what you want.

Because Anthony Cota could have could have effectively kept his job and done a couple deals a year. Probably not much more. Right. I mean, you were pretty time restricted, but you might have made an extra 20, 50, maybe 100 grand a year. Which would have been nice, but wouldn't have been fulfilling. Yep. Am I correct by saying that? Right?

Like, sure, normally, but I'm still working 90 hours at the dealership and I'm still missing weddings. And does that make sense? Yeah. And so the advice that I think everyone should hear, but also you need to make your own decision is you need to very quickly get to the point of... Excuse me. What do I want? And be clear on it.
