Yeah, I'd say early mistakes that I learned was sometimes I knew that I didn't have the right person, but I kept just hoping it would work out, making that hard decision to sell somebody a different career. So I would say early on I did not let people go as early as I should have, even though I knew I'd hired wrong because I was learning how to hire.

So obviously my skills weren't too good at doing that in the beginning. I learned through the process that actually it's a double negative. One, I'm hiring somebody that I don't need, is not able to do the job. And two, they're not getting ready to go to their next opportunity.

Well, thank you, Craig. And you've given me a lot of advice in my life. So I have less than five I get that from.

Yeah, that'd probably be when I was 19. And the situation was Hobby Lobby did start in our home. I was nine years old when my dad went and borrowed $600. And so when you borrow $600, you got to use child labor and free labor. And so mom was free labor and we were the child labor. So we glued frames for seven cents each. And this is how Hobby Lobby grow slowly, one store at a time.

And I was actually at college and I called my dad one time and I was just talking to my dad was an entrepreneur. He talked about open a barbecue stand and different things. And none of that was interesting to me, but he talked about Christian bookstores. And so I called him back a week later. So are you really going to do that someday? He says, well, if you'll come home, I'll help you get a loan.

So I was going to college. He wasn't helped paying for it. So I was going to semester, working a semester. So I'll just go home next semester. I'll work and I'll try this thing. So when you're 19 and you start a new business, you realize everybody's looking to you for all the questions, all the answers. It's not always easy because they're looking for the boss.

When I didn't give the answer they wanted, when somebody come in, they didn't get the answer they wanted, well, I want to meet your boss. And I'm like, well, I'm the top of the list. I am the leader.
