The best upsell line in the world.

Seriously, that's celebrity upsell, dude.

The McDonald's brothers and Ray Kroc made this thing scalable to where they could deploy tens of thousands of restaurants across the world because it was the same thing everywhere.

And that's another thing I learned.

And that's what I did is I made this IT company scalable where I could take a rubber stamp and put it into other IT companies and clone it that way.

Well, why would I want to start it from scratch in all these different places when I can accelerate super fast with some capital backing?

And I could just use that stamp and clone this thing.

And that's what I started to do.

It was going really, really well.

These acquisitions, they tanked, man.

There was some bad actors involved.

Customers were being taken back.

There was issues with invoicing clients that I had purchased and all of these other things.

You're talking like lawsuits that were filed that I had filed.

Having it within a matter of about six months, this climb that I had started that took probably about three years to get to the point to where I could make that climb.

And then we accelerated it to 15 million.

And it all crashed down in about six months.

It's not just because we had gone public too.

It wasn't just the revenue of the company.

It was also the stock price, of course, because that kind of follows the hate that comes after that.
