Summary
I was doing some research the other day on changing out some things in one of my businesses.
I asked ChatGPT what the number one struggle entrepreneurs face and it gave me one of the best answers.
It's not usually the business, it's the weight of the business.
Carrying the responsiblity alone.
Clients.
Partners, and employees may not fully understand the sacrifices made like balancing life and business, making payroll, cutting relationships that no longer support the business.
I created Apex so I could be surrounded by people that understood the challenges in my life.
I might be really good at marriage, but others are better in business.
Get surrounded by really good people with different skillsets than you.
Help those who don't have your skillsets.
Work to become better for you so you can be better for everyone else.
And help them.
That's what Apex is.
And I'm going to continue to build on that because I know it's something every single entrepreneur needs.

| 0:51.4 | And it really opened my eyes to the desires of not just my clients, but to |

| 1:01.9 | It's the weight that comes with it. Most people think it's about raising capital, generating |
