to dare but reinvent how I look at my business to compete on that level outside of my sphere of what I can see like maybe not in my state maybe in a country or what are other people doing in other countries around this industry and so on and so forth like because sometimes what gets stale too is the repetition of work right the boring shit they say in business right that's like really annoying and marginally better each year which is that's part of most people don't survive it's like you're doing the same shit over and over and over and you're like we gained 5% and you're like sitting there like yeah we're

But those that don't realize that they're like, well, I grew 30%, 40%, 30%, and then 2%, like I'm failing now.

And sustaining those bad years, which are not really growth years, like sustaining them by preparing strategy, sometimes gets confused by people as stagnant.

Like, yeah, exactly.

So not knowing the exact circumstance that a person, the business you're in, et cetera, sometimes we get to a level where we feel because we don't have double digit growth or something extraordinary or whatever else, we think of those as like failing years or like, cause we had so many growth years, but reality is they're part of the process.

Cause no one has a perfect cycle of,

25 perfect years of 30% growth every year would all be billionaires and it just doesn't work that way.

So sometimes people just get confused and mistake stagnation, which is the lack of excessive growth, revenue or whatever else it is.

That's a really good point.

because in the last couple of years, a lot of businesses struggled, right?

With all the tariffs, the things happening, the changes and the ever moving dynamics.

And sometimes, you know, like I'll have in my business, I'll have a year where I have like 8% growth and I'm used to like 30% growth.

And I'll sit there and I'll be like, thank God.

And people are like, what are you talking about?

We lost like 22% over last year.

I go, we didn't lose that.

We made money and we grew 8%.

I'm like, okay, there are people whose stock went 50% down.

There's other people who laid off 10,000 people, 30,000 people lost their companies.

I'm like, trust me, we're doing really fucking good.
