You feel stuck because you figured out success costs way more than you expected - and you’re no

A roofing business owner at $6M wants $100M but fears losing family time. Alex frames it as a trade: give up short-term profit to hire talent that drives growth, since you can recover profit later but not family time.

0:00I sell roofing and exterior remodeling. We do close to 6 million this year. I would like to be at 100 million. What's stopping me and I'll I'll be a little bit vulnerable. I would say the fear of losing family time. So >> What do you think you should do that you're not doing that you want me to tell you to do? >> I don't know what I'm looking for you to tell me to do. >> I'll see this differently. I think regrets come when we imagine the upside that we don't have without taking into account the cost that we didn't suffer.

0:32If I like cookies and I'm good with that and I also want a six-pack, I just prefer cookies to a six-pack. It's just that's the trade and I think the dissatisfaction comes from wanting both. In terms of like is there a path where I can work no more than I currently am to go from six to 100? There probably is. It depends on how much you're willing to pay other people. And so you might have to take a short-term hit in terms of profitability to bring in the level of talent that you want to expand the business on your behalf to where you want it to go. The question is which thing do you value the least? Do you value having more profit or more time with your family in the short-term? In the long-term you can make it up. You won't make up family time in the long-term. You can't make the profit up in the long-term. Right? So if you're willing to give up short-term profit, you can bring in high-level talent and then they can lead the growth. And so either want less or trade more.
