So if you want to see the kind of blood and guts of making a bad business good again, that's an awesome book too.
You know, there's not, but there's someone who I really admire.
And I've got this little bit of a, I suppose my hook right now is I'm really interested in the idea of turnarounds in big businesses.
And talk about, you know, you were saying when you graduated, there's a guy named Lou Gerstner, who's the guy that turned IBM around in the 90s.
And, you know, and that might sound to a lot of entrepreneurial people like, oh, yeah, well, you know, IBM.
Hey, to take a business that's like 65, 70 years old and has a hugely entrenched culture where it's just become horrible and make it back into a performer, that's an achievement.
That's like you're turning around a massive ship.
So there's great lessons for anybody in studying people like Lou Gerstner.
You know, I just found this, and I'm so happy, and I've actually been recommending it to people the last couple days.
It's called OnePageCRM.
And let me just give a real quick explanation of it.
I mean, for a lot of us, we don't have a traditional sales channel where, you know, we're not industrialists going out identifying our clients and putting them into like a sales channel.
I mean, we have people we need to be in contact, like, you know, we're in contact or whatever.
You're managing people that you know, but you want to keep up with like what the last thing you talked about is so you don't have to go back through all your emails.
OnePageCRM is the first thing I've found since I used ACT way back when that is concise, simple, easy to manage, and gets the job done in keeping up with the contacts that you want to have information about.
I usually sleep like five or six hours and I take a nap in the middle of the day.
Easy on the Jack Daniels, dude.
Hey, easy, easy.
No, I just, I'm being facetious.
I would actually, it's funny, I would say that I don't have any advice for that.
