And I was like, okay, we'll cut that in half. And I was like, I'm willing to pay two bucks a foot. And they were like, no, never go over 150. And I was like, okay, never go over 150.

Yes. It didn't exist then. YouTube wasn't even a thing. Instagram had just come out. Like for context, for everybody who's listening to this, I think about this equation a lot. And I actually had some video of somebody shitting on me for this, but I'm going to say it anyways, because there's the 20% that I'm going to say it.

I'm not going to dilute myself. So I saw a salesman say this at a conference, and he wrote a million dollars on a whiteboard. And he called up a lady in the audience, and he said, how much do you make? And she said, $50,000 a year. So he wrote $50,000 underneath a million, and he subtracted it. And it said $950,000. He said, it costs you $950,000 every single year.

You don't know how to make a million dollars a year. And so the question is, what is the value of that skill? And the answer is the difference. And so the troll who responded to this originally was like, well, you can keep going. What about $100 million a year or a billion dollars a year? And I was like, yes, yes.

If you had the skill of making a billion dollars a year, then the difference between 50,000 and a billion is the delta of the value of that skill. And it's really not one skill. It's many skills that ladder up to when combined together to create that kind of value.

But I remember that being like seared into my memory, which is like, whatever I want to have, the delta between where I'm at and where that thing is, is what basically what I'm willing to sacrifice in order to learn what I need to learn to get there.
