0:00You once wanted the life you have. And if you don't like the life you have, you probably won't like the one you want but don't have, either. Yeah, this one I think about all the time because I think with the life that I have now, and I know that I wanted this life. But I obviously do a lot of thinking about this type of stuff. Um, but the equal opposite of that is that when I was poor, I was pretty happy.
0:26I was okay with being poor. And now that I am rich, I put quotes on that, degrees. It's about the same. And so then it just goes down to well then the richness had nothing to do with the level of contentedness, which means that my wants in past and present and future all go into the bucket of irrelevant in terms of their ability to affect my perception of reality in the present. And so in thinking about that, it makes my wants have less stake today. And so a lot of anxiety that I think a lot of people have is around things that haven't happened yet, either good or bad. Like I hope this speech goes well, or I hope I get this job promotion. But the reality is that once you get the job promotion, you wanted it, you resettle. And the negative version of this is, and I'm you've probably seen this stuff. But when handicap people get handicap, so they have a terrible accident, they get paralyzed, or they lose a leg, or whatever, there's a dip in their subjective well-being, but after 3 to 6 months it typically re-stabilizes. Which means that if I didn't get paralyzed, or even if I did get paralyzed, I'd be just about as content as I am right now. It's like, whatever is about to happen is probably not as bad as that, and so that's the worst case scenario, which is nothing. So, okay. Good things aren't as good as you think they are. Bad things aren't as bad as you think they are.
1:47>> Yeah, life is life. Real quick, 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.
2:25And 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 just book a call with my team and we will look at 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.
