Hol dir nur Rat von Leuten mit dem Leben, das du willst

0:00Like if you don't like their life, don't listen to what they say. Like don't take their advice if you don't like what you see. And so if everyone around you has a life you don't want, then don't listen to any of their advice. Like and hopefully you're listening to this and you're watching this if there's some element of my life or whatever that you find awesome, cool, then maybe some element of what I can share is helpful for you. Um but you have to put blinders on because there is a period of time where you and I mean I've said this, but you you're not going to be successful enough for the next tier of friends. But you're too different from the friends that you used to have. And so that middle path is very lonely. But the good thing about loneliness is you've got time. And right now time's what you need cuz you got to learn stuff. You got to get the skills so you can start trading that for more and more money and then you can take the money and trade that for more money. But in the beginning you just have time and that's what you have to spend. And so if you are broke or you are poor and wish to no longer be broke and poor the first is owning the fact that everything that has to do with your life is your fault.

1:02And a lot of people will reject that. And you're right, stay poor. You're totally right. You'll never be successful. You're totally right. I believe you. The next step is being willing to use what you have rather than what you think you should have or what you wish you had. The circumstances, the connections, the money, whatever. The passion, the purpose, the meaning behind the work.

1:27You can wish for all that stuff, but you don't have it. So you have to use what you have. Which could be anger, could be shame, could be pain, whatever. And then as soon as you start taking action, everyone around you will collapse and try to pull you down. And so the only way to protect yourself against that is to increase your own approval of self and decrease how much their opinion of you matters.

1:56Which means that you have to be you have to be proud of you for taking the step. And actively look at their lives and think, do I want what they have? If the answer is no, then do not listen to what they say. And then when you do that, you keep walking, you keep taking steps, no matter how painful it is, and you never stop.

2:22And if you do that, you will get there. Look, 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 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 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.
