Well, I mean, listen, I think it's a discovery process. You know, what kind of what kind of business owner are you? You know, I think a lot of people are trying to be something they're not. And, you know, the truth is we're all delusional, man. You know, our delusional actually serves us and hurts us at the same time.

That's why you got to be in the right rooms where people can counterbalance this delusional behavior and thought process. I always tell people I'm not here to train you how to do it. My biggest job is how to untrain you. You know, it's kind of like a new program on a computer. You got to take out the old disk and put a new system hardware. We've been taught a lot of bad stuff, man.

We've been taught a lot of limited beliefs. For me, it's like, you know, real estate investing specifically. When I left in 05, like I'm a chest to chest business guy.

I realized I'm not as important in the business. Problems will happen. I am good at everything, but I'm not good at everything all the time. And no one's going to do it as good as us, right? We always say, all of us have the same exact track. No one will do it as good of us.

Okay, but if they're only doing this 100% of the day, and that's all they had to focus on, and they only did it 50% as good as me, but I have five guys doing it, they're way better than I ever could be as one person.

And there's problems in that. There's problems in that, right? You're going to have slippage. You're going to have over budgets. You're going to have these things that are going on, but now, now I can focus on the business. Like Walmart, they have a 10%, you know, people, 10% of their profits get stolen out of the front door every day. You know, so they figure out a solution.

It's not like Sam Walton in there back in the day. I'm going to sit in the front door and I'm going to protect everything. I'm going to run everything. Like, No, Jeff Bezos is not boxing everything and shipping labels today. It's a business. And again, that's not right or wrong. Some people just don't want to do it or can't do it. Honestly, Brandon, it's a control freak thing for sure.

Exactly. And this is seasonality, too. Right. You know, when I was able to work 16 hours a day, I was had a girlfriend. I even know my wife. I didn't have kids. I love working. You know, so it's like now, you know, depending where you're at in the journey, my biggest fear, Brandon, is you got these guys 40, 50, 60 years old.

has these amazing children, grandkids or whatever, and they're still acting like they're 17 years old or 22 years old, grinding 16 hours a day, bragging about it. Like, you know, dude, listen, if you're a success in business and failure at home, globally, you're failing because the ultimate goal, like no one cares about what you've accomplished in business.
