It's not a correction. The only way I would reword that is that I think it's simple. I don't know that it's easy. The first time especially, it is simple. but it's not necessarily easy because you got to go through all the things you got to go through. So I don't try and paint any, you know, rose colored glasses, pictures.

So you got to work and you got to be a little bit courageous and, and you got to put time into it. Right.

So you got to work and you got to be a little bit courageous and, and you got to put time into it. Right.

Yeah. It is. And there's another side to that too, which is, you know, I use the term courageous, you know, you could use the term big balls, it all matters, right? The point is, is that you're willing to take it on and go through it. And you don't need to have all the answers.

There's a good friend of mine who, like you, and I'm going to call you young only because listen, at my age, anybody under 50 is young. So

There's a good friend of mine who, like you, and I'm going to call you young only because listen, at my age, anybody under 50 is young. So

uh you know i refer to them as kids that's just that's how i'm wired but a good friend of mine who like you is very successful at a young age and he just turned 40 or 41 and you know he probably got a net worth of 50 or 60 million dollars but he has a very fundamental philosophy and that is he's the guy that'll jump out of the airplane without a parachute

And the reason he'll do it is he's 100% confident that he'll get that parachute built before he hits the ground. So when he starts on a project, he sees the vision. The vision is, I'm going to jump out of that airplane. I'm going to have a soft landing. It's going to be the ride of my life. and I know I can do this and I don't need all the details.

I'm willing to do that, take that dive and build it as I go. And he's built that way because he has that level and that degree of confidence in himself. So when he takes on a project, He looks at the end and he goes, okay, I'm just going to take the next step and then decide what needs to be done next.

Then I'm going to take the next step and decide what needs to be done next, given the circumstances that occur. That's how he builds things out. And that way he doesn't get too deep. He doesn't build a baby grand piano when all he needed was a player piano. If you get that analogy, he doesn't overbuild things.

Yeah. And you got to do your own work. I mean, it's no different than you building your business. So recently there's a group in Canada called McKay CEO forums. Now McKay is CEO peer to peer forums. So they put a maximum of 14 CEOs in a room that do a minimum of five million top line, five, you know, it's really five million to five billion.

And, you know, once, well, six times a year, these CEOs get together peer to peer. I facilitate them. It's considered a chair. And, you know, there would be a room full of Tommy's in there and not non-competing businesses, by the way. But what you just shared, Tommy, as much as that is a normal conversation for you and I to have,
