Wie ich zu einem extremen Menschen wurde

0:00Do you think that people get their standards to be raised to this like extreme level? Like were you around other extreme people and you're like, "Oh my gosh, there's so much more to do. That's now the standard." Or do you think that some people are just born extreme? And and they they just get there and they bring others to that level. >> I I think it's probably a nature nurture question. And it's to be clear, I don't know the answer. This is my two cents. I've always been a really intense person. Um like my my father, my whole upbringing used to always say like balance. He's like, "You're so unbalanced. You're so unbalanced."

0:31Because like as soon as I'd find something, I would just want to do nothing besides that thing until I had like finished it or you know, whatever it was. And so I do think there's a component of that. The other aspect though is like I for sure have had called beliefs broken, you know, uh frame shifts from people who were ahead of me. Like me even observing Elon, you know, it it it stretches the horizon of what, you know, I think we can accomplish. And, you know, it's actually in some ways very refreshing to think, "Okay, okay, you know, where was Elon when he was 36?" Right? Versus, you know, 56 or whatever, you know, how how old he is now. And he said had such an exponential like crescendo in his career that to me it's like it's actually very like inspiring that it just it just takes time. And a lot of the I think what takes time for entrepreneurs is there's just so many skills required to be a good entrepreneur. And you have to be like very good at all of them. That's why I see entrepreneurship as the single greatest path of personal development.

1:22Like you get real-time feedback that you suck, and then at some point most of us on some level get to a level of success and then say like this is enough or I'm not willing to make the tradeoffs beyond this point in other areas because depends on the entrepreneur that you ask, but I would say the vast majority of entrepreneurs want to win the game of life and business is a component is one of the games within the larger game of life. Some people get lost to whatever game they're in.

1:49Um or they just consciously choose that that game is more important to them. I mean like Steve Jobs accomplished a lot. I think there's there's been a lot that's been documented about his, you know, personal life suffering, you know, as as a result of his professional career. You could make an argument that he was amazing net positive for humanity, but on the micro level, he lived a harder existence. Elon is probably another one of those people. A lot of people don't wouldn't want Elon's life and he says, "You wouldn't want my life." That's probably a lot of my a lot of my free like shower time right now is like when you know the price of the thing you want, like it's okay to go into a store, see something you like, and then not buy it. Real quick, if you were a business owner and you were 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 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.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.
