Sure.

Should you do it?

Probably not.

And if your risk tolerance is extremely low, like you're in a position where you got three kids, you're 48 years old, you're switching careers.

There is absolutely extreme value in paying to cut the line and learn from somebody who's been there, done that, bought 10 t-shirts and can help you avoid the mistakes that they made.

It doesn't even make sense from a financial standpoint sometimes.

And yeah, is it a risk?

Sure.

But you are in the risk business.

You know what I mean?

Like if you're doing anything entrepreneurial, you're by definition, you're taking more risk than somebody who's an employee.

And if that's not what you want to do, then maybe just stick to being an employee.

And by the way, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

In fact, I encourage people away from entrepreneurship as often as I can because it's not for everybody and it is much more difficult to see a path to success in that area.

If you have a high value skill like sales or marketing or something like that, you could probably make more money in a shorter period of time by just being an employee somewhere and being the best employee that that person has.

So I'm not knocking that path.

I'm just saying that if you have this goal

and you want this thing, then you have to be willing to take the action of somebody who has achieved that thing, or you will not get to that point.

You have to take the action of the future self now, or you can't create that future self.

Absolutely, dude.
