And I listened to all the feeds from around the world from business cable and BBC and CNBC and Fox and CNN and get the seven stories of the day.
And while I'm listening in that hour and 20 minutes, the phone starts ringing, interrupts the feed, no problem.
And every day there's a story of total depression.
Total woe and destruction for one of my companies.
Oh no, I just got sued.
Oh, I just got kicked out of Walmart.
Oh, I just this, I just that.
It's a disaster.
And then 20 minutes later, it's total euphoria.
Oh, I just got a $100 million offer for our business and you own 30% of it.
You have the right of first refusal.
What do you want to do?
That's in the same hour.
And so you got to get used to the ups and downs in the founder's mindset that are going to happen to you.
The total euphoria to the total depression
And that's all in one day.
And so those are the people you want to invest in that can handle it, that just can take the hit, figure out a way around it and move on.
And that's about a third of the population.
The other two thirds are going to work for them.
And there's nothing dishonorable about that.
