0:00It's also if you take down if you walk down the natural logic of that statement, who do you blame? If you're saying must be nice or tell me tell me that you don't have kids without telling me that you don't have kids, then does that mean that you blame your child for all the things that you don't have in life? It's tough tough weight to put on a kid because I mean I would hope that they don't see that comment because then they'd be like, "Wait, mom, dad, like you didn't live out your dreams because I exist."
0:31Tough. Another one here, a sequence actually that I love. You don't have to feel good about it. You just have to keep going. The feeling will pass, but you will remain. You are greater than your feelings. Going to bed late and waking up early to work for a few days won't kill you. You're not going to burn out. You're doing what it takes. If you're one of those people that push work life balance, just remember the people who like working a lot don't care. I've never regretted trying harder at anything ever. Hard times last long, but an epic story feels like a lifetime.
1:11Nailed it. [ __ ] yeah. I just think when I look at you in particular, and I I realized this during our second conversation at the start of this year, the reason that people get confused about your motivation and your workload is that they don't realize that the thing you do for work is the thing that you do for fun. That's the fundamental misunderstanding that people have.
1:35And because of that, you're prepared to work hard. And working hard doesn't feel like wasted time. Lots of people associate working hard with not making progress. Therefore, working feels like wasting. So the idea that working hard doesn't make progress is one of the biggest farces that exists in humanity because at the end of the day, whatever you amount to isn't going to matter anyways, right? And so if there is anything that's eternal for us, at least as individuals, it's going to be who we become in the process. And so one of my favorite quotes is the works on you more than you work on it.
2:12And so if you want to be the best in the world at something, you do the work to become the best in the world. And the work works on you. And so I mean there's a there's a a biblical proverb I think it says like um there is there is profit in all labor. And that means that even if the thing that you're working on right now doesn't amount to the outcome that you expected that it would, it doesn't mean that you don't become better through doing it.
2:39And so I'll give you a very real example. So I spent five years building a chain of gyms. So I had six locations and after that I sold five of them. I shut one down and then I transition to doing turnarounds. In the transition between shutting my gyms down, I got a big payday because I sold my five gyms. Big for me relative. I took all that money and I put it into the next thing. The partner that I had in that next thing ended up taking the money and disappearing, filing bankruptcy and sending it to his girlfriend in Sweden. I couldn't make this up. So, there was no way I could get the money back. And he had filed bankruptcies. There's no there's no course of action for a lawsuit. And so, a lot of people would probably go through that mental situation and think, and I went through this was thinking, I just wasted the last 5 years. It's like I literally started to change like put everything into the second location, put everything in the third location, the fourth location. It kept kept going, right? I kept doubling down and then I get my big payday and I put it all all on black and then it disappears with one spin of the roulette. And so here I am and I'm like I have nothing to show for the last five years of work.
3:47But then in the next 12 months I made more money than I'd ever made in my entire life up to that point. the five years I made I made the I made more profit in the next 12 months than I made in the last five years times like five and it was because and this is only I was only able to re realize this in retrospect which is why I'm sharing it which is that the thing that was the outcome of those five years was me and the skills and the experiences that I possessed through going through it and so whatever the next mountain that you're trying to climb is of course it's going to be higher but it's going to require you to go through the smaller mountains to get to that point so Because the more able you are, the more able you realize you can become and you will get way bigger outcomes from the things that you have like the path that led you here than than you than you think you can. And so, …
