The Power of Absolute Acceptance

0:00The the like absolute acceptance frame has been super powerful, which is like must be nice. You're like, it is. Is it like it just it just melts people. Like if you're in these like, you know, like you get in a comment war or something and they're like, it's because your dad gave you everything. You're like, you're right. And so it's just because we have this fear of being labeled something by somebody. It's like, well, I don't label me that, but if you do, that's cool.

0:26Cuz you're going to die. Eventually. So why? But if you're going to die eventually, it means it don't matter either. So like fine, then I can use it both ways. And so like that's just been really helpful for me just cuz like like my ultimate expression of myself in terms of like Solomon and me is just absolute agency. Cuz I like I do what I truly want to do. Um now obviously that's not hurting people, things like that, but like that I do it without fear.

0:52And I think that's that's I think that's what I really spend a lot of time trying to tackle, which is like what am I afraid of? And it's not like the big the monster and what not. It's usually just judgment. Or rather perceived judgment from people who aren't thinking about me. Um and then it comes from a combination of discounting the value of their judgment and increasing the perceived value of Solomon's judgment. And I think that like over time if I can just keep sliding more and more marbles into just gaining Solomon's opinions or Solomon's approval, I think it's a better version of me. And so I just see it as a as a continuum rather than a binary of like I am this person or I am this person. It's just like I'm more of this person today and I'm going to slide more marbles on the side until most people describe me in this fashion.

1:31Mhm. >> if you are a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So my team and I put together the $100 million scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can book a call with my team and we will look into business, see if we can help, and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
