0:00Alex, how do you personally prevent rabbit holes when building your business? Where's Floppy Hoppy? >> [laughter] >> Um inside joke for my own team. Um I don't even know what that means. I'm guessing you mean like side quests or like woman in the red dress? Um you focus on the problem in front of you. So, focus is subtraction. If you think about the most hypothetically post hypothetically post Jesus, hypothetically focused person in the world, they would do literally only one thing. They wouldn't eat, they wouldn't sleep, they wouldn't shower, they would only do one thing. And so, if your question is, I'm doing more than one thing, how do I do one thing? Just stop doing everything that's not the thing.
0:42That's how you focus. And then you're like, well, I can't do it. It's like, of course you can. If you were in a white room that had no door and the only thing you had in front of you was the work, the work would become the most important and interesting thing in the room. And I think this is wildly misunderstood. If you If you have nothing else to do, work becomes more interesting than boredom. The problem is that you have alternatives for your attention that have shorter and faster feedback loops. And so, the reason that I'm so militant about removing all of the attention sucks in my environment is because I want work to be the only thing that takes me out of boredom.
1:18And so, it's not about discipline about arranging It's about arranging your environment so that the only natural thing you can do by being lazy and not being bored is work. And that is why I believe it doesn't require a tremendous amount of willpower. 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 in these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your your 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 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.
