And that is where my wealth came from.

And within two years, I was making in a year what my total student loan debt was, right?

So it was like, okay, this was worth it, right?

And quickly.

So it was risky because I could have gotten more money in the first year, right?

But I never would have gotten to $300,000 in two years, right?

It would have taken me

many years as a, you know, becoming a part of 10, 12 years, at least to get to that level of salary as an attorney.

So it was 100% worth the risk.

And of course it's only gone up from there, but, but yeah, but sometimes like building wealth comes from taking those, those risks, you know, and saying like what calculated and strategic risk I'm going to take.

And if you're going to take a risk of going and being an entrepreneur, then am I willing to show up and do the work to make it happen?

You know, is the question to ask yourself.

Exactly.

And that's just, you know, some people feel like making the investment in yourself and taking a risk like that is, you know, very scary, you know, and like, oh, that's a big risk.

But the opposite is a big risk too, right?

Like you could work at a job that you could even love and be laid off one day, right?

There's no guarantee.

So we have to be the owners of our own story and decide what are we going to do to ensure that we win regardless, you know?

And I think that's important.

And one of the best things that came out of entrepreneurship is I know how to build a business now.
