Alle wollen das Ergebnis, keiner den Weg dahin

0:00Jimmy Carr broke my brain with this one. Everyone is jealous of what you've got. No one is jealous of how you got it. >> I love that quote. >> My god. People see the trophies, but not the training ground. Everybody wants the view, but no one wants the climb. I love it. But the people who win love the climb and the real mountain has no peak.

0:32And so the view is always present the whole way up the climb. And >> it seems to me to push back there, it seems to me like a lot of the time you're head down, the pleasure comes from the climb, not the view. Sure. >> For you. Uh again, maybe sort of uh non-typically constructed from a psychological perspective. That was nice. That was diplomatic. Um, [laughter] uh, so what would you say? And this is something that I think, you know, with these episodes that we do, I often want to try and get you to

1:07>> push a little bit more to adapt your ideas and your insights for people who maybe do have a little bit more of that emotionality that comes through to try and sort of soften this up. Look, I understand that people need more degrees of freedom than me typically. I understand that people probably can't get themselves to the level of work that I can. So, do you ever sort of play with that idea of okay, what does a little bit of view taking in look like whilst we're climbing?

1:39I think a lot of the discontent comes from the judgment people have about what they should or should not do along the way. And so they take my description as prescription for what they should do. So I describe my life and then people think I'm prescribing what they should do. And it couldn't be further from the truth. If you want to take a break at every two steps and take in the view, do it. I mean, in four generations, no one will remember your name. And so enjoy the view if you feel like it. I just happen to enjoy how much I can see that I can do. That's what I enjoy. And I and I feel like I am most present when I work. And so I'm not going to go on to work life balance whatever cuz we already know where that conversation goes. But people have a harder time accepting that someone can just work all the time and and truly love it.

2:38And I define that by there's nothing else I would rather do at any time. And so for me, I feel like I exercise absolute freedom in my life. And freedom is reinforcing for all species, dogs, cows, fish, humans. Freedom is one of the re most positively reinforcing thing that people have that everyone wants. Freedom. >> Everybody wants to be able to say you, >> right? But once you say you, you have to do something because you can't just stay stand there and saying you over and over again for hours for the rest of your life. You start to do something. And that thing that you choose to do after you do after you say you is what you want to do. Real quick, if you're 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 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 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.comroadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstrain the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out on the thank you page. You can 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.
