0:00If you don't know how you can lose money in something, then you're going to lose it. Think about this for a second. If something looks amazing and you're like, "Dude, there's no way I can lose money on this." You're absolutely going to lose your ass because of how little you actually know. And so, you have to figure out one, what is my downside, and all the different ways that downside can occur, and then attach a reasonable likelihood that that happens, and then probably multiply it by three.
0:25Because whenever you have your rose-colored glasses on, you're an entrepreneur or you want to be an entrepreneur. One of the quintessential traits of entrepreneurship is optimism. We are optimists. We think it's all going to work out, and you have to have that level of optimism to start. But when you start, you can't continue to have that optimism around every other opportunity because then you are going to lose your ass because you're going to be split between multiple things. And so, if you don't know how you can lose money, you absolutely will because it just is an index of how little you know. Real quick, if you're a business owner and you're not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift.
1:01So, my team and I put together the 100 million-dollar 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 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 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.
