Or if you get something in 20 minutes, it's not like the class spends the next hour working on it while there's someone else that we're waiting on.

That was one thing that was fantastic.

And then the other is that it really teaches you early on that you're in charge.

And my parents drilled this in.

This is your responsibility.

We're here to help you.

But whether you get it done or not is on you and the consequences follow or where the benefits follow as well.

That's a lot like real life and especially a lot like business.

So one key moment was when I was probably 11 or 12.

We grew up in the mountains outside of Boise.

And there was a time in the winter that we just had the most perfect snow coming down.

It was the kind of thing where you don't want to be sitting inside doing school.

You want to be outside sledding.

And I'm just like sitting here and I'm just... I can't focus at all.

I'm just staring outside, watching the snow accumulate.

And my mom says...

you know, you don't have to do school for like four or five hours.

You only have to do school until it's done.

Then you can go play outside.

If that takes you 90 minutes, amazing.
