0:00You cannot wish for a strong character and an easy life. Each is the price of the other. What if what you're going through isn't hard? What if you're just sensitive? I think that most of us can look back on our lives 2 10 years ago and think about the problems that we were dealing with then and think about how much of a pittance and how small those problems were compared to the problems that we deal with today. At least that's how I probably feel. Maybe you feel the same way.
0:30And so I then think, "Okay, well, if I feel that way about the problems that I had 10 years ago then 10 years from now Alex will look back at the problems that I'm dealing with today and feel the same way. And so if he feels that way then about the problems that I have now then the only difference is the perspective that he has that I don't have. And so I might just be a sensitive little pansy and maybe these aren't problems at all. Maybe these are just facts of life and I need to habituate to them cuz I remember um my first lawsuit, right? Cuz it's like when you're in business long enough you make enough money you're just going to get sued. It is what it is.
1:04And I was listening to um Elon Musk talk about this and at any given time Tesla has hundreds of lawsuits. At any like just they they have they have massive departments of legal just for all the different things that are going on. And it was thinking that a requisite for success is a problem. Like you cannot become the wealthiest man in the world and not get sued.
1:30Like getting sued is a is a indicator that you're actually is a is a requisite for being there. There's no no person has been there without this. And so reframing what I used to consider a problem as a as a point of evidence that I'm on the path that I originally chose. 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 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 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.
