I love the figuring it out.

I love the people that I work with to this day.

I'm not doing act three because it's going to change my life or my kids' lives in any way.

I'm doing it because I actually love the process of having challenges and figuring it out.

So I would say to you, and I say to people all the time, don't do it for the outcomes.

Do it because you actually love it.

We should talk about another concept about entrepreneurship.

I think it's often misunderstood.

Here's what entrepreneurs do.

This is what my business life's been about.

entrepreneurs see a better opportunity.

And they're not risk takers.

They're actually risk avoiders.

They see that opportunity, an opportunity to serve somebody, to make a difference, to do a job better for somebody.

And in the context of that, they're risk avoidant.

They don't want to take risks that get in the way of their getting there.

And for me, when I can see a better way to do something, when I can see a way to make a difference in somebody's life, be it a guest or even a

a team member, I want to do that with all the energy I can, and I want to protect it.

And that to me is what an entrepreneur is.

It's somebody who sees opportunity and then seizes that opportunity.
