Why Your Opinion Matters More Than Everyone Else's

0:00the but I'll know refrain. I think that a lot of the personal excellence comes down to making the but I'll know more important than the but everyone what will everyone else think? Because the I think the true test of whether you're a quote perfectionist or not is if everyone else in the room says it's exceptional and then you say but I'll know it's not because I don't think it's exceptional yet. If you still break what everyone else believes is beautiful so that you can make the thing that you make it the way you want it to make or make it the way you want it to be. I think that is probably like the the truest test of whether or not you really do value your own opinion over those of other people's. And if you really want to be true to quote the art, whatever your art is, art, I'm using as like a generic term. It could be the career or the even like the ex the the financial projections that you're supposed to do at your company. Like there is a way you could do it and do it absolutely [ __ ] excellent. And there's a way you could do it that you could phone it in and probably not get in trouble. But the thing is that you'd know and then you'd be the type of person who always phones it in. And that to me is disgusting. And that would make me disgusted with me. And that is the thing that would make me want to peel my skin off because I would hate me. And I think that's why so many people do hate them because they do settle and they do make these things and they do know and still ignore it. And so they ignore the man in the other room who's clearing his throat and they shut the door and they lock it and they never let that guy in. And so they look like everyone else.

So my team and I put together the $100 million scaling roadmap, 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 in 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 the 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 just book a call with my team and we will look into the 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.
