A lot of entrepreneurs, they get into the business, then they start making money.

A lot of them don't even ever think about selling the business.

When's the right time to think about it?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's a whole other conversation for another day.

We bought part ownership, and we kind of plugged in our systems to them.

But that's a whole other thing, is growing through mergers and acquisitions.

Yeah, absolutely.

And we talked a lot about selling the business.

Years ago, I learned from people much smaller than me and more experienced, it's like, oh, I want to own a $200 million company, I got to grow $200 million in revenue.

Where it's actually like, no, you can grow $100 million revenue and acquire two businesses, for example.

Yeah, there's so many.

And I would say, too, as a lesson, a lot of people want to sell.

You would never know unless you ask.
