Yeah.

And I just had this conversation with a buddy recently who had a tough time in business.

Crazy bunch of stuff outside of his control happened.

Bunch of lawsuits had to file bankruptcy.

And he's he's right now working like two or three different sales gigs.

But he's making his business at even when his business was doing well, it was doing, you know, seven figures, you know, one point five, one point six million a year.

by all objective standards.

That's the dream that most people are looking for.

I want a million dollar business.

He makes more in take home personal income now as a sales guy for a couple different companies than he ever did running his business.

Even though it was generating 1.5, 1.6 million dollars in top line revenue.

The numbers that you see online that glorify entrepreneurship, typically they're from people who are trying to sell you some sort of entrepreneurship course.

And they're not being honest about what they actually make on the money that they say they make.

You're seeing top line revenue and top line revenue only.

You don't know exactly what that person's taking home.

And odds are, as an employee, you could probably make more money, personal take home income.

So like, that's why I say you have to examine the goals, you have to examine the dream and ask yourself, is this something that I truly want?

Because if it is something that you truly want, then you're not ever going to be able to be an employee, right?

Like you're not going to be happy doing that path.

And you're going to have to take the entrepreneurship path.
