You are going to pay these dues right over here.

You're going to pay these things now or later, and it's up to you.

And they keep getting more expensive as if you go later.

Meaning if you don't do your work now, that work is going to get exponentially harder next year.

But the people that are smart will pay their dues now so that later in life, if you do the handle your work now, go to the right schools.

Whatever your profession is, get the right degrees.

Do the hard work early.

It's like bankers.

Five years of your life are gone.

They're going to own you.

They're going to torture you.

But if you do those five years, you're going to be rich for the rest of your life.

And so you could pay me now or pay me later, but everyone's paying.

And if you don't pay now, you're going to pay a little over time and your life's going to be miserable because you're going to do things you have to do versus things you want to do.

And it's like people will like in finance now be like, I want to do what you're doing.

I'm like, I don't even know how to describe to you what I do.

Like I, how'd you make the move from finance?

I said, if you're waiting for the stars to align, they're never going to align.

I basically almost went broke, backed myself into a corner and just put all my chips on the table, betting on myself.

Yes, because I'm not telling anyone how to do anything.
