So let's go there for just a second. Okay, because this idea of what I call life interruptions, So you could be moving with momentum, and then an interruption comes. An interruption is a disturbance. It's like a knock on the door at 3 in the morning that you don't expect. So nobody expects that their employees that they trust are going to steal from them.
So when I look at one of my setbacks in business, it is my right-hand guy. of 14 years who stole so much money from me. And this was a guy that I was great to his kids, amazing to his wife, gave him too many bonuses. And I was in shock of how he stole the money, how calculated it was. But you have to find your way through it.
Yeah, I like that you're saying that because with a guy who dresses as nice as you do, plus you have nice eyebrows and everything else, you get them plucked or something?
So they always say, like, guys like us... Don't fight with business on a weekly basis, but we do. Oh, yeah. So you're going to see that I like to rhyme, okay? So you can have the sight of a good business. You have the right to it, but it's going to be a constant fight. Constant. So as you know, a fight is a struggle. It's contention.
And you know this even as an athlete. Think about even fighting through injuries.
Does happen. All the time. Or they get the flu. Yeah. But this idea of the challenges that you face and I face, For both of us, we chose to learn from those setbacks and not sit in a setback, not settle, okay, but decided to find ways to rise back up.
Okay, so there are steps to the comeback. Number one, you take inventory. So you have to look at where's my life like realistically, my mindset, where are my finances, my relationship with somebody that I'm dating or married to, or as a single person. So you take inventory. The second thing that you do is you have to partner with the right people. And this is where people miss it.
OK, so I'm so glad about your community. Your community is huge because you're constantly educating people to get up and out. And that's what I'm doing as well. So you, number one, take inventory. Number two, you got to partner with the right people. But then thirdly, you need the right principles. And again, you're not going to learn everything from TikTok.
Because there's some good people saying good things and some good people saying bad things.
Yeah. Okay. So inventory, partnering with the right people, the right principles, and then a key, the right plan.
So let me ask you a question. When did you start to find the plan for you in America as your life started to evolve into what I now see?
Okay, so I love this. So what you're saying, I'm just going to put a hook. Yeah, please. Another Tim Story rhyme. Some things you decide, some things you discover. So I think too many people are focused on the decision and that really gets them like uptight in their mind.
Oh, good. Yeah. Okay. So you have some things you decide, some things you discover. So if you look at a Pharrell Williams, there's no way he thought he'd be running Louis Vuitton.
It was just like him and Chad, right? In Virginia, doing what they do. And as you know, I've been around Kanye West since 2006. And I remember when he was recording Stronger, it was just me, him, and two engineers in the studio. And then one day, Pharrell comes in like at one in the morning. He's like, yo, if I was you, I would do this, that, the other.
And because Pharrell's so dope, Kanye listened to him.
So he brings in Timberland, and then Pharrell says, dude, you ought to bring in Def Punk. Uh-huh. which is European out of France, right? And it was a trip because I had to leave for four days and I came back and Kanye goes, I said, who are these guys? He goes, those are the dudes that usually wear the helmets. He goes, they're punk. So the reason for that story is to tell you
The creative side of a person who's not just making decisions, decisions, but they're discovering. I saw that even on that song Stronger, they just let it find its way and became one of the most popular songs in the last 20 years.
I'm loving this. Let's let's stay here for a minute, because I think that. entrepreneurs need to know this about this discovery zone, right? In a discovery zone, it's important not to be impatient because I think that some of the best plans have to marinate.
Yeah. See, and mostly when you're younger, you don't want to wait. But I guarantee you, you got to take your time. Let it marinate. Let it discover. Like the best books are not written overnight. The best songs are not always written on a napkin overnight. Let your thoughts marinate and let that discovery take time if it needs to take time.
I love what you said about the first love, but I think at the same time, we have to treat it like it is.
