We didn't really change our lifestyle. You know, we were making decent money before we sold the business.

We didn't really, I don't know, we bought her a sports car, but we did that right before we sold the business and I think our big

purchase was this boat. You know once we got that done we bought the boat a

couple three months later but the reason we sold the business is because we wanted to go live this lifestyle and

Have a little more time with our little freedom with our time right? That's what we were really looking to

accomplish I think that's the, I think that's the

ultimate goal more so than money is the freedom of your time. You know, I'm no different than you know probably the vast majority of your your

listeners and other people out there right that own a small business I just started

business hoping to make enough money where I could you know pay rent and eat and

maybe have a vehicle that Randy sent and you know that kind of stuff I you know that's all you're just trying to survive when you're maybe in your

20s and I kind of got doing that okay and then and then I think I started doing a little bit better than average.

So I was kind of, I don't know, I wouldn't say comfortable, but that's happy.

And I saw a business that sold, there was in the same field as me, right?

And they sold for an absolute grip of cash,

you know, like 17 or 20 million.

It was a ton of dough.

And I'm like, wow, how do I do that? That sounds appealing.

I think you need to understand your exit before you start building a company.

And I met with them for the simple purpose of,

I'd like to understand the value of my company

and I'd like to understand what they're going to want in a to

purchase a company.
