I have to ask myself, is this worth my time to outline, record, the cost to edit, producer Ron's time, just all the effort we're putting behind this? Or what if we did less? What if we didn't do any YouTube videos? What if we did half as many? So it's every other week. We could put that time... that energy, and frankly, those dollars into some other way to build the audience.

And so, you know, again, not a mistake, but it is a struggle and a hard decision. It was challenging. I think it was six, seven months ago when I finally said, man, we've been plateaued for six months. I think we just have to turn this attention to something else. And frankly, we turned that towards the course, saslaunchpad.co if you haven't checked it out.

It's all about finding ideas, validating, building a launch list, and launching. It's really the second course I've ever built. The first one was 14 years ago. This one is way, way better, more complete, more thorough. The course is $500 and it's worth it. I mean, I'll just say that.

It's the best course, certainly best course I've ever produced and one of the best pieces of content I've ever produced. It's almost 10 hours of content. It's really in-depth. And if you want to learn more about launching your own SaaS, saslaunchpad.co. So hopefully that segment makes you feel better if you weren't aware that even successful people struggle at times. All right, last topic.

This one's a quicker one. I was watching a video. I believe it was Roger Federer, who is an incredibly successful tennis player. I believe he was giving a graduation speech. He said, I've played in 1,526 singles matches. I won 80% of those matches, but I only won 54% of the points. So let that sink in, barely more than half of the points and yet won 80% of the matches.

I love this metaphor as you don't have to be right that often. I won't belabor this metaphor and start talking about baseball and how the all-time greats only hit the ball, what, 30, 40% of the time. You get the point is that successful founders aren't right all the time. They aren't right 100% of the time. They're not even right 90% of the time.

I mean, I don't know what the number is, but is it 60? It might be. It might be as low as 60, but they try enough things, they move fast enough, and enough of their things work.

You know, I was talking about this point, and Ruben actually pointed out to me that when I say enough of the things that they try work, he said, you know what you should include there is that they usually don't work right off the bat. that they do work if you iterate on it and focus on it. And I really liked that distinction.

When I say they work on a lot of things and most of the things they do work is most 55, 60, 65, 70, it's in there somewhere. Seriously, it's not 80 or 90%. 80 or 90% of things I do don't work, but the ones that do have asymmetric upside and they push the business forward and they push my life forward and They work.

And that's the pattern that I see with successful entrepreneurs and frankly, someone who's successful at all with their life. They just generally learn to make good decisions and follow through. But I want to underscore that point of for it to work, for you to be successful on 54% of those points as Roger Federer, that usually won't just happen right off the bat.
