0:00There was a guy um friend of a friend, successful entrepreneur and he got really bad cancer like super bad really really fast, right? And I think he lost his like trachea and some other stuff and like they thought he was going to die and ended up making it. Um and uh and he was telling my friend he was like man so grateful and we're like about you think it was like the whole I see life a different way now. It wasn't that. It was while he was going through it and his reasoning was, "How cool is it that I get to live this part of the human experience?" He's like, "So many people don't get to live this. Like, I get to know what it's like to have cancer.
0:38Like, so many people live their whole lives and then die not knowing what cancer was like. I get to know that." >> And I just thought about that. It's like a very interesting frame. It's like whether it's bankruptcy, going to jail, like even the depths of human suffering and some people who are still going through that trauma. I'm not saying that like I'm not justifying it. It's just a frame on like being human is the rainy and the sunny days. Like you can't skip weather.
1:04And so I think like embracing the totality of the experience can give you gratitude for what feels locally like a low point. But most of the defining moments in our life, broken leg, then he doesn't have to go to war, right? When you expand the time horizon, those are the things that create us. And so again, I mean, I talk to my 85-year-old self a lot, which sounds really weird. Um, but whenever I'm like complaining about something, one of the common things he'll ask me back is like, "Well, who do you want to be?"
1:33>> And I'll be like, "Well, I want to be like this." And he's like, "Do you think that person would not go through hard times?" And I'm like, "Yeah." He's like, "Well, it sounds like you're wishing for the outcome, but not willing to pay the price." He's like, "Are you willing to pay the price?" I'm like, "Well, yeah." He's like, "Well, this is what paying the price feels like. embrace it because these will be the stories you tell. And so I think that's that's given me the ability to weather rainy days, sunny days because like there are a lot of those days in the entrepreneurial journey because that rocky cut scene is five years, not 30 seconds. And so I think you need as many of those tools as you can possibly put together in your tool belt to just keep going.
2:15>> So so beautifully said. Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so, I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business, what the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it, and then what steps we actually took to graduate. And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brick-andmortar, all of this. and it works and it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free and so the link's in the description, but you just go acquisition.comroadmap.
2:52Just enter your info and it'll spit it right back to you.
