It's me.
And I just spent more than I made because I kept telling myself, you're killing it, you're doing great, everything's going to be awesome, people love what you're doing, blah, blah, blah.
Well, you know, I mean...
credit card bills are getting bigger and you know the business is growing but it's not just expense management just all coming back to you and knowing your numbers
Knowing my numbers, knowing my numbers and not falling in love with the idea of what's in the pipeline.
Well, it was the investigative business, actually.
And we were doing surveillance on bodily injury claims.
So when you see these videos of somebody saying they can never work again and they're out on a jet ski or in a rodeo, that's what we did.
I got into that.
It was really happenstance.
It was a guy.
Talk about being a nomad.
I was actually in Guatemala and I and I met a guy and he came stateside.
And anyhow, I ended up in that business with him and another person.
But.
We had creative differences, and so I just went out and hung up my own shingle, because it was, it's a business, and there are a lot of businesses like this, they're not as glamorized as maybe dot-com stuff, or digital stuff, but there's a lot of businesses where there are people who are practitioners, and not really business people, and investigations, for a very long time, was one of those.
There were a lot of people who were very good investigators, and could run a shop of maybe eight to 10 guys,
um or girls and but then they kind of ran up against their own limits in terms of building infrastructure and things like that but i didn't get into the business as an investigator i got into the business as a business person understood so was that was that the business that then went in to become in the top of inc 500
Yeah, we were in the Inc.
Yeah, they're always calling me for ideas, I can tell you.
