Das Erfolgszeichen, über das keiner spricht

0:00And I promise you, every single person who wants to do something with their life and has done something with their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through. And it's the lonely chapter. It's the chapter where you you're you don't fit in with your own friends, but you don't have the outcomes yet to fit into a new group of friends. And you're doing this thing. You're consuming content on the internet. You're you're doing these free tutorials online to try and figure out how to set up a podcast and where do I host this thing? And then there and and and you're going through this and you're like, "Am I is this even worth it?"

0:27because you have no signs of success, right? But if there's anything that you can take away from what we're saying right now is that the sign of success is the hate that you get along the way. And what you can't do is bend the knee to their hate and fit back into the conformity because it's comfortable and it's warm because like in the Matrix when Trinity opens the door when when Neo's about to go take the red pill and he wants to get out of the car, she says, "No, you've been down that road and you know exactly where it leads and I know that's not where you want to be.

0:57And then he closes the door. Like right now, this moment that you're going through is Trinity opening the door and being like, "You could go back." But then you'd have to remember exactly what the reason was that you decided not to go out to begin with because you listen to this podcast and you consume this content. You're like, "I can [ __ ] do more than this." Like because you are starting to live in some of that hell where you look in the mirror and you're like, "I can do more." And you start to see the person that you could be and you're like, "This does start to feel like hell." The reason that it's uncomfortable and the reason that I do have sympathy for the people that see this is ignorance in some regards is bliss. As soon as you begin to posit an ideal,

1:35>> you then begin to compare yourself to that ideal. >> Yeah. And the gap in potential between you and the person that you could have been begins to get more stark and even the slightest glimmer of, wow, I can I can read a book or follow a course or listen to a podcast and then work really really hard on one thing and change the thermodynamics of my mind. Change the texture of my own existence dayto-day because I worked at a thing and now I understand nutrition. you know, I know kung fu, like I I understand nutrition or I can I understand how to sleep well.

2:13Okay. As soon as you know that sleep is important and what you need to do to do it, >> every single night of bad sleep that you have is on you. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Because before you had the excuse that you're ignorant. >> Yeah. >> And guess what? Now you don't. Every worthwhile goal is worthwhile because it has a cost associated with it. And so the cost that you're going through is what makes the goal worthwhile to begin with because if what you are were setting out to do were immediately available to you, then it would mean it would be immediately available to everyone, which means it wouldn't be worthwhile. So the very fact that it's difficult is why it is worth doing. And so like we can't resent the price tag of the shoes that we want to buy. We just have to make the decision of whether or not we want to pay it.

2:56Real 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 deconrain 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.
