Das einsame Kapitel als Unternehmer überwinden

0:00And every person who wants to do something in their life or has done something with their lives is going through the exact same chapter that you're going through right now. And it's the lonely chapter. It's the chapter where you don't fit in with your old friends, but you don't have the achievements yet to fit in with a new group of friends. And you're doing all the stuff, right? The free tutorials, you're watching these videos and you're reading everything you can get your hands on. And you're trying to set up whatever your podcast is, your content thing, right? And you're going through it and you're thinking to yourself like, is this even worth it? Because you're not seeing any sign of success. But the sign of success is the hate that you get along the way. It is the leading indicator. And what you can't do is bend the knee to their hate and try and fit back in and conform because it's comfortable and it's warm. It's like the scene in the Matrix when Trinity opens the door, the very beginning in the first Matrix, when Neo is about to take the red pill and he wants to get out of the car. And Trinity says, "You've been down that road, Neo. You know that road and you know exactly where it ends. And I know that's not where you want to be."

1:01And then he closes the door and he gets back in and he goes they they go to go take the red pill. So right now, this moment that you're going through is Trinity opening the door and saying, "You could go back. You could go party. You could go to the nightclubs. You could say that this was just a hobby. You could downplay what you're doing like, 'Oh, I'm just trying it out. Oh yeah, I'm not I'm not really that into it. It's just like just something I found, right?'" But then as you're saying you feel like a fake cuz you're lying to yourself.

1:26You're lying to them about what you what your real intentions are. And in that moment, when you're trying to think about having that conversation, you'll remember exactly why you left, why it is that road and you know exactly where it ends and that's not where you want to be. And the thing is is that your goals will stick with you longer than these relationships. Your goals will serve you more than these relationships. And this is what this is the stuff that no one will tell you. I can tell you personally, I don't talk to I talk to one friend that I have from middle school and high school, all right? I talk to one person, two people from college. And it's not like we talk all the time. I talk to him every 6 months or so. And so I say this because although these relationships feel like they're incredibly important in your life right now, they will disappear. The majority of these of these friendships are based on convenience. You're only friends with them cuz they lived in your dorm, they lived in your neighborhood, they went into to English class with you. But as soon as your conditions change, you change where you're at, all many of them will fade away because you'll develop new skills, you'll develop new contacts, you'll meet new people who are upskilled from them.

2:35And then you'll compare them to compare to these people and you'll be like, "Man, these are better friends. These are people who are more aligned with my goals. They're trying to grow. When I want to work all day Saturday, they're like, 'Cool, I'll work with you.'" Rather than being like, "Dude, we're going on a pontoon boat. Like where are you going to be?" And you have to accept that as the price. And the thing is it's like it's only if you want that. Like if you if you want to live a life that is the same as everyone else's, then you can do what everyone else does.

3:02The only issue is when you want to do what everyone else does but get what none of them have. Real quick, if you're business owner and you're 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 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 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 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 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.
