Leben mit dauerhaftem Druck als Unternehmer

0:00So, what are the biggest operating obstacles you've personally ran into trying to scale acquisition.com into a billion dollar business and how did you overcome it? >> Suffering is constant. It's just that the nature of the suffering changes and so it's like the hard is always hard and it just and I think what makes it more difficult as as the business continues to develop is that you end up trading things that you didn't expect you'd have to trade. And so, like in a lot of people's minds, it's like, oh, I can push really hard. It's like it stops being about how hard you can push at a certain point. Sometimes it's about how long you can wait. Sometimes it's about how focused you can stay. Sometimes it's about what kind of person you're able to attract to the business. Um, sometimes it's just the quality of your decisions, right? Well, a lot of times it's the quality of your decisions and those are just kind of like micro examples, but like you know, in the very beginning, you have to overcome a lot of uh environmental issues. It's like you have your friends and family who are telling you that it's not going to work, whatever, and they think your idea is stupid. And so you have to overcome that. And then maybe you have to overcome your own limiting beliefs. So you have to overcome that. And then you start doing things and and you start advertising and letting people know that you have stuff and and selling them on your services, your product. And then quickly you have to learn like the first level of management. So it's like, okay, well now it's not me, it's me and maybe a couple of, you know, virtual assistants. And then you're like, okay, this is too much for part- timerrs. I need some full-times. So you have to level up to basically being a manager, which you haven't done before. And then once you're a manager, it's like, okay, well, I'm managing this half. I have to get somebody else. And you get your first manager. And then all of a sudden you have multiple managers. Now you're a leader, right? And then you have to attract leaders, which is a totally different skill because you have to lead leaders. And so at every level um I see entrepreneurship as a forcing function for pain, but also a forcing function for progress. Um and that um you will stay in pain until you progress and then you will find new pain.
