0:00The reason the goal isn't coming at you fast enough is because every person you've seen accomplish the goal, you only see it the moment they accomplish it. And the reason that it hurts so much when people are like, "Must be nice. Oh, that happened overnight." is because every time you fail, no one cares and no one sees. But when you finally win, people take notice.
0:26>> Discredited. But it's the only time they notice is when you actually win. And so, to even further reinforce the point, the fact that everyone looks like an overnight success means that the 10 years where they sucked, no one saw. And so, the fear that you have about people noticing the fact that you fail is ridiculous because they're barely going to notice when you succeed.
0:51>> [laughter] >> Yeah. I'd say one of the strongest mental frames that has gotten me through my hardest times is thinking, "This will be the story that I will one day tell." And that means the harder it is, the bigger the dragon, the more epic the story. And by consequence, the more epic the hero. And if you think about the difference between winners and losers, winners define themselves by what they made happen.
1:21And losers define themselves by what happened to them. And the difficult part of the lonely chapter is that the Rocky cut scene lasts 90 seconds in the movie and lasts 5 years in reality. With no promise of it ever ending. No guarantee of glory. What's interesting about And I don't again, I don't like using the word psychology, but I'll say what's interesting about humans is that our ability to endure is very robust if we know that we'll make it out. And so, they've done my studies where they drop the mouse in and then they let it drown and it drowns really fast. And then they drop a a mouse in and then before it gets to the point where it drowns, they pick it up.
2:08And then they put it back in. And the second time they put it in it can last like 20 times longer. >> I think the the stats is something around will drown in less than an hour. If it's taken out, dried off, and allowed to relax, it'll swim for a day. An absurd amount different. And so, if I were to say, "Hey, I need you to hold your breath." But I don't tell you how long. 20 seconds in, you might be thinking, "This is stupid. When is he going to stop? Is he going to wait for me to pass out?" And all these stupid thoughts go into your mind. But if I say, "I need you to hold your breath for 3 minutes."
2:44Your lungs might burn, but you can see that there's this end that's coming. The difficulty with personal development and entrepreneurship is that you don't know when the end is coming, but you still need to fight like the second mouse who gets out, gets dried off, and gets put back in. And the only certainty that I can give you is that it's the same thing that every other mouse, every other person who got through that period went through. And you [snorts] won't die. And if you do die, you won't care.
3:12Because you'll be dead. And so, best case, you win. Worst case, it won't matter. Real quick, if you are a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you 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 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.
